Don’t let proportions stop you from plein air
Просмотров 29110 месяцев назад
For this gouache sketch, I decided to ignore the proportions a little bit because I don’t want it to stop me from sketching. I tried to direct my attention instead to the boat shape and the more muted background instead.

Documenting Hong Kong’s bamboo structures in sketchbooks
Просмотров 32210 месяцев назад
Hong Kong still uses bamboo structures for construction and renovation and I wanted to capture a bit of that in my sketchbook, even at the cost of introducing geometric elements into my sketch.

Making overcast sketches more vibrant

Overcast days tend to dull down your scene’s colours and it can be hard to spot the play of light & shadows. But what are some things we can do to make a scene more vibrant?

It’s been a long workday, so come and paint the sunset with me

It’s been a long workday and I thought it’d be a nice reason to wind down with a sunset view of the city. Hope you enjoy this real-time sketch with gouache, and let me know if this is something you want to see more of!

Framing your sketch with dried gouache
Просмотров 55711 месяцев назад
How do you sketch in the middle of the crowd? In some quiet corners, it’s often possible to sneak in a tiny sketchbook and your painting/drawing kit. It sometimes even makes for some interesting compositions as you focus on your subject in a tight corner.

Sketching complex greens with dried gouache
Просмотров 41211 месяцев назад
Greens are really hard, but layering it bit by bit starting from the darkest to the lightest parts really help. The key is to be brave with values! These greens are created by two blues and two yellows, and that’s enough to create this full variety of greens. I also touch a bit on deliberate practice, an idea from a book called So Good They Can’t Ignore You by @CalNewportMedia. How do you achie...
Sketching a Hong Kong subway station with dried gouache (sorry for the choppy footage!)

Welcome to rush hour in one of the busiest subway stations, one that takes you to the airport! Apologies in advance for the choppy timelapse.

Zag while others are zigging: urban sketching with dried gouache
Просмотров 715Год назад
An easy way to stand out from the crowd is to zag while everyone else is zigging, and it's no different than in sketches or in other areas of my life (e.g. photography). I try to switch things up a little bit in this sketch and push myself further each time.

Travel sketching with dried gouache palette

This may just be our first video outside of Asia but won't be our last... for now. We're sketching Muskoka chairs, which are these colourful chairs that sit around public areas around Toronto. We're trying out a dried gouache palette.

How much can I sketch in 10 minutes?

Is sketching a waste of time?
Просмотров 388Год назад
Is it a waste of time if your sketch failed? Spending time on what you suck at, even when you love it, is well spent. Plus you might get some learnings on the back of it, too.

Figuring out my plein air / camera set up AGAIN
At 3 minutes and 40 seconds you take one of the pans out of the pallet exposing rust. So how is it rust proof?
Lovely to see a new video from you!
Glad you’re back. For even more compact use the Art Toolkit Demi-Palette with 12 mini pans.
So glad you're back!
Becky I’m so glad that you are back. I hope you have been well. How has your written going. Sending hugs from across the ocean. 🤗
Glad you're back.
Hi, Becky! You may have been missing from YT for a 'long time', but this came up right at the top of my home page this morning! I'm so glad that it did, and to 'see' you again. I'm sad that you felt that you needed to 'level up' your art with courses and all those things! <very sad> , because the rmain reason I watched you was because of your freshness in what you did! It was real, you were real, and very relatable, in the many-cloned-world that ArtTube had become / is. It's good to see that you're using the same set-up that you were usng nine months ago. Hoping you'll be around a little more, but as and when it fits in to your busy life. It's no fun when things that we use for pleasure and relaxation become a 'must do', a chore. 🤗 Now I'm going to see what you have on your substack - as someone else who's a writer, been a writer all her life, and also loves drawing and painting, it's interesting! 😊
You got a cool kit and setup.
So helpful, thanks for sharing
Platinum Carbon Black is absolutely superb ink. Love drawing with it!
I love the way you chat while painting. I feel like I am sitting down with a friend and painting and chatting. I often just work on something of my own at the same time.
I forgot about that grey toned sketch book, I need to get me one of those to try. I forget how beautiful paintings can be on toned paper. I think it will go great will the gouache I just got.
QUICK RELEASE BRACKET
Do you have a link to that camera you have on your cup easel? How long can you record with it before the battery dies?
I know I’m late to this comment section, but you can periodically condition the magnetic part of the palette with a little olive oil or other vegetable oil. I read that tip on the Art Toolkit website.
I think van ness pens gives bigger or cheaper samples. Shop around.
Don’t feel you have to show only stuff we can run out and buy. I’m here because I’m curious. Not because I can afford to shop.
Had to come back and watch some vids again. Loved the colors on this sketch. It’s spring here and I got to get back to doing some painting. Hopefully I will be able to catch some of it on video. Thank you for always being amazing.
Thanks for the review. I watched this several times before buying one of these, it is gorgeous in person. I am a complete noob to all art related things. Bought this because i don't have a lot of room inside for this type of activity so I just set it up out in the back yard and try to learn to paint there. I really like it except the mixing pallet is too small for me (probably because of my noobness). The pallet on the right actually has kept my acrylics wet for several weeks as long as the section for the paint was at least a quarter full (i replaced the one like you have with the one that is sectioned off).
With art you can run, but you can't hide. The ol' 'This is just a sketch..' stuff gets old and at some point you need to learn how to draw and to paint properly.
Hey! thanks for sharing this. I'm just getting into urban painting and it's so fun to see someone else's thought processes too. I hope you keep it up :)
Thanks for sharing really interesting
Don’t listen to haters- wearing a mask is cool! Thanks for sharing!
I'm no hater, but wearing a mask is neither cool nor hygienic for long periods of time. Wearing masks outdoors in wide open spaces as she's doing doesn't help her or anyone passing by. (According to scientists) that being said, I just came for the art and thought I'd respectfully reply to you.
Thanks so much for the excellent review and painting!
how do you find the rosemary travel brushes?
I have purchased so many different leather notebook covers for the pocket and the last one that came was the travelers one…however I saw the Potter one last year and really wanted that one…it looked perfect and there were all kinds of sizes and the pocket size, mini was the one I wanted…after trying all the others, I finally pull the plug on the Plotter Mini 5 and I am excited to get it in my hands. I carry a notebook every day for jotting down random thoughts, to do lists, quotes and stuff like that. I love that color you chose
Really informative and concise reviews - Thankyou
How are you?❤
plotter update?
Mask when you are by yourself lol. Thar us sad
Try to keep painting regularly even when you’re working. You don’t have to film nor post it. It’s easy to forget your art once you start working, and eventually you’ll stop painting for years.
i like seeing Hong Kong, and you have a great way of talking about the area and what is going on and you dont have to be an expert to create art peolpe like to see 😀
that looks great :D interesting shapes, making interesting sketch 😀
Hope you enjoy your break! :)
I love watching you it’s raw not all sound effects n stuff I enjoy watching some one that is around my level I guess to watch them grow as an artist and your easy on the eyes 😊
I enjoy watching your videos for your urban sketching journey ❤
The bamboo structure is def a signature HK look!
Great review, thank you
That's a cool building to sketch!
Awesome
😍😍
🎊 Promo*SM
This video had an endearing elegance to it somehow mixed with a relaxed and welcoming vibe. Please do more like these!
Becky, I have enjoyed this video enormously!!!! Just to have you talking what you're thinking as you are doing the painting is really ... great! More, please? And thank you for not wanting to be monetised. Otherwise, we'd have had at least two ad breaks during this 15 minute video. Ads are becoming more and more intrusive, and I'm sure it's policy on YT to 'encourage' us to take the 'pay for ad free' route. The downside is that views are down across the board as folk get fed up with an ad 2 minutes in, and several others during a video, usually cutting across a sentence, or in a totally inappropriate place. I know it's 'free', but some of us can't afford to pay the premium. That's not YT's fault, so my thoughts are just wishful thinking, and my emotions and heart say a mega thank you to all the ArtTuber folk who still offer their content freely. Anyway, enough of that! Many thanks again for sharing your art experience and your thoughts with us. I appreciate it enormously! 🤗
Becky I’m right there with you the building are very intimidating you need a headlamp. That’s the next thing on my list for urban sketching and plein air. ❤
I loved the video. I love that your so transparent in why you have a channel. I am with you on not monetizing. I also fork out the cost to you tube. It’s great that you just want to share. I have been subscribed to you for awhile. Really thanks for sharing. I think I needed to hear it today. You tube has me so stressed sometimes watching to see if my channel does well. Like it shows my value as an artist. I realize after your video that I just need to have fun. Thanks for sharing my friend across the pond 😊❤
q hermosa eres😘🤩🇨🇴
Thanks for always showing us such cool shots of HK! 😁
