Hello am Spirit-Lee (Yes that's my real name, if I had a penny...)
I am an Architect officially (Day Job). But I do have a strong background in crafts, Graphic Design and art, in general, have always been common threads throughout my life. I have now been nicknamed by my contemporaries as the crafty architect because I have broken away from the screen-driven process when producing designs by mixing traditional ways and then adding some digital. Working this way provides an opportunity for me to make products from my Architectural designs and observations that I can now share with you for your enjoyment and inspiration.

does it leave bite marks on the pencils?
Unfortunately, yes.
Whatv a lovely effort! So glad l found you!
Welcome! Glad you are enjoying my content
Hi what was the other 121 issue inreplacement for?
At the time of filming it was very hard the get issue 118,119,120 with the extension parts, so I made a work around using the a duplicated piece from issue 121 which worked.
Hi did you film 100-120?
I have issue 91 -110 on my to edit list, and yet to film 110-120 of the main build house. I work away a lot at the moment so hard to keep up. But determined to finish the house and videos before Christmas.
@@studio.spirit I'm Working Through My House Only Started A Few Months Ago. Trying To Source 100-116 🫣 Been Watching Your Videos As I've Been Going Through
What a wonderful idea to test new supplies! Makes it so much fun and pressure-free. Thanks for using our products, we truly appreciate the trust :) - Ânia
I wished the notebook had black page too! I felt the same as you lol. Also a fan of Dracula and vampires in general. Good idea for the notebook. I may do quotes for vampire books I read...
Wow. I need this book. It has been a long time since I've felt that I "NEED" a book. Thank you. Also.... I loved your intro and the modesty book position as you walked up the stairs. I immediately thought : "Okay. I like this woman." I was laughing before the video started. Thank you. I needed that this morning. And now I'm re-inspired about my passion for gouache. I knew my girlfriend's snobbery about it was unwarranted :) Thanks again. Subscribed.
Mitsubishi sharpener is wonderful. I don’t use pastel pencils, but it’s fantastic for colored pencils and makes the points both sharp AND long. Since I like to use the side of the pencil, I really love the longer point.
Nice, isn’t it lovely when you find the one thing that really works for you. Thanks for watching.
I love how well your books match the items in the subscription box 🩶
Yes! When I editing I saw how good they look together had to put it on the thumbnail. Thank you for watching.
@@studio.spirit you're very welcome!
I am from Canada. I have to have address in us and wait 3-7 months for book!!! PLEASE any idea? Thanks💌
Wow crazy! I thought it would be available worldwide. If you are willing to trust me with a bit of cash and your address email at studiospirit.uk@gmail.com and I will get the book for you and send it to you.
Super helpful review. This book just made it to my Amazon cart. I have been playing around with gouache recently, and was looking for something like this. Thanks 🙏
Glad it was useful to you, hope you enjoy the book.
Definitely putting this in my Amazon wish list. I'll have to see how it adapts to the gouache I use, as it acts slightly differently from standard.
Ohhhh what kind of Gouache do you use?
This looks brilliant. Just what I need to get away from the flatter aspect of painting with gouache. Have just added to my Amazon Wishlist for Christmas. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This is the book I’ve been waiting for. Thank you so much for the deep dive!
You're so welcome!
Great review, thank you! I’m going to check it out. You spoke about beginner and more illustrative style books…can I ask for your recommendations?
Yes, absolutely! I’d start with Creative Gouache by Ruth Wilshaw for very basics and to get going with techniques quickly. Any particular subjects you like to paint? as it will help with book recommendations.
Thank you for this great book review ! I feel gouache is the plain Jane, that's often overlooked, in comparison to the popular watercolors 😂 Off topic, may I ask what microphone/camera you're using. Your voice sounds so crisp and clear ! Perhaps, it's just your voice 😄
Thanks glad you like it. See now I see watercolour as the plain Jane lol the camera I use is Sony A7cii and sometimes iPhone 12pro but the mic is the Rode VideoMicro Compact (when I remember to bring it and put it in) otherwise it is just the in built mics on the devices and a bit of tweaking in editing.
Thank you !
Thank you loved your video. Want to try gouache (I'm a watercolourartist now). About the purple...use a warm blue (leaning red) and a cool red (leaning blue) and you get the best purples. Because they will not go to green/yellow.
Thank you great tip!
To me, that is the perfect pencil sharpener. The down side, is obtaining one. The pluss is that it is Swiss! Very precision engineered. Hope you will get lots of use from it. I like that its got variable point feature. Thanks for showing it! Wish i had one! Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing! Keep an eye out for sales! Or perhaps eBay?
This is a beautiful , helpful and a lovely video . Thank you . Yacov from Israel
Thanks glad you found it useful.
Love the leaf pattern to test the paints ❤
Thanks I will upload the pattern to my Patreon when I get back to studio so you are welcome to download it and try them for yourself.
@@studio.spirit do you have a link to your Patreon as I’m most probably too thick but I can’t find it
Here it is patreon.com/StudioSpirit
This is really confusing because you’re trying to compare gouache with acrylic gouache so it’s all over the place I don’t understand it’s like comparing an apple to a banana which acrylic gouache is better for coverage and laying down smoothly?
Not really because at the end of the day, the only difference between the two is that acrylic gouache should be permanent ie it doesn’t reactive with water. Coverage, smoothness, pigments etc should be on par with one another.
Thanks for the video. Is the only difference with the normal red version the green color? Or is this edition bigger or heavier?
I can’t say for sure as I don’t own the red one, but from what I can tell they are the same, they just released the green one as part of a Christmas collection a few years ago.
If you would like a cheap good version of this you can't beat the stabilo m80 works a treat and won't dint your pencils. My plastic m80 cost around 30 auDont forget to run graphite pencils through after your coloured pencils to maintain your blades on the crank shaft
Great Tip! To Maintain the blade. Thank you and great alternative for most pencils, but I have used the Stabilo M80 on pastel pastels and it doesn’t like the Hexagonal shape of the Caran dache pencils and tends to break easily.
How do you print on watercolor paper? An inkjet would bleed, I think? Did you print it on a laser?
I load the sheet into the rear shoot of my Epson Workforce Printer and then make sure that on the print settings the paper type is set to card stock. Hope this helps I know all printers can be different.
Want to do the same? Get the rotating base here amzn.to/3SB4MFj
I bought a small set of Caran D’Ache Neocolors on sale and also some Swisscolors, which are marketed as children’s’ supplies, but which some RUclipsrs have said are the same product, with a different target audience. The big difference between the artist-quality and supposedly kiddie-quality was that the kiddie crayons had square ends, So, how to sharpen them? None of my rather large collection of mostly-useless pencil sharpeners (including the special ones for pastel pencils, which do work for that purpose) would work on the Neocolors. However, by determined browsing on Amazon I found a highly-recommended beauty crayon sharpener. My experience with this kind of sharpener (for sharpening lip and eye pencils) has generally not been great, but I didn’t like the art supply options for the Neocolors, either. Happy ending: the beauty pencil sharpener works perfectly on the Neocolors: sharpens even the blunt-ended kiddie crayons to a nice point without damage, unnecessary waste or any great effort or skill. Cost: £2-something, shipping included. Moral of the story: you don’t have to spend a two-figure sum to sharpen these crayons.
I haven’t and wouldn’t sharpen any of the Neocolour (oil, wax, or water soluble) with this as they are too soft. Am rather confused about you comparing Neocolour (crayon like) to swisscolours (pencils) in my experience two very different products. Glad you found something that works for you. I still use and enjoy using my sharpener for pastel pencils.
Can you link the little image u got off of etsy that is on your first page?
Do you the Sketch version of the man from the front cover?
That image is so cute too, but I was referring to the girl sitting 🪑 on the chair in the first page when you open the book.
I was brought here by the algorithm and I'm so glad it did as I love your style of journaling! I've barely touched my Cousin this year as I keep getting too in my own head about it and feeling like each page has to look perfect and it becomes a chore. I really love how personal your journal looks to you, it makes me want to reassess my whole relationship with my own book, so thank you for the inspiration! ♥
Wow thank you for your kind words, I’m glad this has inspired you. Just remember your book is yours no one has to see it, so doesn’t have to be perfect or even completely filled in can have days, months missing, it completely ok. It took me along time to find a system that I actively want and even get excited about filling in.
Your Hobonichi looks so cool! I really like your style of journaling. How do you print your photos so your dairy does not look very bulky? I've tried once scrapbooking in it, but it was so hard to write in it after only one month of pasting photos :(
Thank you! Yes the bits of packaging I put in made it hard to write ✍️ they maybe a few tiny holes where the pen went through lol but I still like to do it. The paper I use is either standard printer paper 90gsm with Gloo to stick em down or I use Epson photo quality sticker paper which is matte rather than glossy. Or am using up the last of my clear glossy vinyl paper. Hope this helps. Do you think I should do a separate video explaining how I print and what supplies I use?
👍
Hi, I just found you from this video! Did you or will you finish this house? I’m planning on starting this right after I move into my new place at the end of this month. I love your videos also. Informative and relaxing 😊
Hello welcome! I will finish it, I have a few videos filmed just need to edited and will continue with it as I love it. Thank you and hope you enjoy building too!
your videos are so relaxing to watch.
Thank you
it looking so good now seems a long time back this was started.
It really all is coming together, yes the partworks has now finished and complete its just am behind on the editing as usual. But I have decided to go ahead with the Christmas/summer extensions so still a lot more to come.
Love the template you’re using; where can I buy it?
Unfortunately, it came a subscription box, so you can’t buy it separately. Perhaps you can get hold of something similar? Thanks for watching, much appreciated.
What kind of tea is that? Looks lovely
Hi thanks for watching, the tea is Bird and blend SPICED PUMPKIN PIE TEA, there’s different ways to make it, but I love my method.
That's a lot of art also first for everything
I was hoping you were going to do this video! I just got my first Hobo! and was unsure how to approach it. I love your laidback energy, to many protectionist Hobo keepers on RUclips.
Thanks 🙏 I can only be me. I would love to see what you get up to in your Hobonichi?
😂🎉
Only a few more days before I get it out again. 😃🕸️ 👻 🎃
What convinced you to try out rings? like the variety of the seasons and I guess the variety of the systems haha wow the rings are so much bigger than your book it's interesting that you don't like the wasted space in the binder - very obviously a problem but idk how much I've thought about that aspect oh man having the right hole puncher is important the little printed flare decoration looks very functional! if it's for a forest theme maybe you can add some tree related stuff in the upper corners like a little floating island with trees on it and a waterfall? idk what really goes with the theme that will look different every time with a template haha - I was thinking kind of like how when someone does a big Minecraft build they make like 40 trees and then copy a few of them in hundreds of different combinations throughout the space they need to fill one thing that might be cool is a few different contents sections designed for the theme people are going for - I don't necessarily mean something like memento mori but it might be interesting to play around with the layout for something which is mostly a journal, scientific collection, quotes, etc I hope the sanding goes as well as the cutting! I will say that the first and last page in a binder always force their way out of my binders eventually - it takes hundreds of uses though
Yes the variety, as am hoping my research is going to feed some of my artwork so want to also put different papers as I start working on different concepts. Am used to working on A1 A0 drawings so A5 always seem small to me it boggles my mind how people can A6 Hobonichi’s etc plus a lot of my Skecthbooks are B5 and makes sense to go a bit bigger as you have to make room for the rings. I like the idea of a forest theme, I just wanna refine my branded version first as like a base and then do different themes later (currently tinkering with a summerween ideas) thank you for all you thoughts and ideas I really appreciate your suggestions. Hope you enjoy what I produce next.
@@studio.spirit looking forward to it!
Omg ❤ in my country they started only just now! I would love to see more videos of you making it 😊😊!
What country is that? They have stoped in the UK and just started again 🤷♀️
@@studio.spirit Czech Republic :)
looking good.
Still amazes me every time I look at, can’t wait to see it finished.
really like the places you stay in also your journal.
I really dislike the arches oil paper. I am still trying to figure out what medium to use it for, but for oils or even acrylics it's a no for me. It absorbs SO MUCH that it makes you use twice the amount of paint to be able to blend anything. I tried oiling out an A5 piece of arches paper and the amount of linseed I had to use was ridiculous
Thanks for sharing! I assume you mean oil paint? 🎨 so far with the oil pastels it’s been lovely butttttt I prefer the sennelier paper.
Fantastic review, thanks for being so thorough
Glad it was helpful!
This was fascinating, watching this process! My favorite part was the sketchbook with the tracing paper pieces, to see what changes you want to make. I'm a watercolorist, and will use this idea in the future! Thanks for sharing. 🌻
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is probably the best looking step stool I've ever seen! Also, love the door. 🌻
Really? 🤔 I have to say it is ageing really well I thought it would all be scratched by now.
