SKETCHBOOK TIME 3 ☁️ Drawing Clouds ☁️ Playing & having fun with art supplies in my sketchbook

- Put the kettle on, make yourself a cuppa, grab your sketchbook, and come and draw with me for half an hour! I'm finding that these 30 minute sessions in my sketchbook are becoming essential to my wellbeing and general creativity. It's where I allow myself to experiment and have fun with my art supplies; combining different mediums and materials, sometimes with surprising or unexpected results. I feel as if I'm learning something new each time I do this! Through my experiments in this video, which will slowly unfold while I chat to you, I've already come up with an idea for a new piece of work based upon the cloud and raindrop sketches I worked on here. I can't wait to share this with you, as I think it will be interesting to see how a playful sketch can become a finished work of art. There's no music in this video, so the ASMR factor is strong! (I love the sound of pencil on paper).
Today I'm using the beautiful Caran d'Ache Luminance coloured pencils, a Faber-Castell Pitt Soft Brush Artist Pen, Japanese Gansai paints, Neocolour 1 crayons, and a Stabilo multi-surface pencil. I hope that you enjoy the video. Allow yourself the time to play, and stay creative!
(As this video is so long, it's been uploaded in 720p rather than 1080p due to our terrible internet connection!)

Patty- I just love how you chat with us while you work. I have some of the supplies you featured today. I'm learning new ways to use them.
I'm so glad that you'r enjoying the videos! Thank you so much for your lovely comments, Patricia. :)
I read in a comment on another channel that there are several ways to "fix" the prisms pencils that break a lot.
One way I want to try is wrapping them up in a heating pad on the highest temp for awhile.
Others tried the microwave for a few seconds and still others the oven, it might be something to look into.
I have those paints, I really need to pull them out and actually use them now!
They're great paints - I love working with them!
I like your play time videos. Keep them coming 👍
Thanks Anna, I will! I have ideas for more. :)
My anxiety is really bad at the mo, I find your videos so relaxing and calming, whilst also being fantastic inspiration, love your colour combinations and so much practical info too x x x x
I'm sorry to hear about your anxiety Helen, but glad that the videos seem to help a bit! I hope you feel much better very soon. 💕
I find you videos are so relaxing! I watch them when I have a break from being a mom of 3 boys and going to school online for myself.
Thanks Audrey! It sounds as if you have a busy life, so I'm glad that my videos offer a moment of relaxation. :)
LOVE your videos and hearing your voice. So soothing. I am not sure how I managed to miss your youtube channel before this (probably been under a rock). But glad I finally got out and subscribed!!! :))
That's so strange - I discovered yours about a week ago and subscribed! I didn't leave any comments but did watch a few of your videos, and was going to go back and watch some more. I loved them - please upload more often! So pleased that you love my videos. Thank you! xx
Please don't feel self conscious about making these sort of videos. I find them so interesting and watchable because they are a "peek behind the curtain" where a hack like myself can see the real process that a real artist takes to eventually get to a "proper work of art" as you put it. Its easy for an amateur like myself to think the a professional artist such as yourself, just sits down and cranks out a beautiful saleable piece on a whim. Seeing and hearing you work through the experimentation of materials, media, and mediums is absolutely mesmerizing and fascinating to me. This was a WONDERFUL video to watch. Thank you!!!!!!
Thanks so much, Brian! I really appreciate that, and it's so lovely to hear that you enjoy this type of video. I definitely want to start making more in this series again!
@@NatashaNewtonArt Yes! Please do! ❤
Love your concepts and those Japanese paints are wonderful, never heard of them before. Loved your clouds.... (and those moleskins!)
Thanks Sandy! The paints are really lovely - I'm enjoying using and experimenting with them a lot. Will talk more about them in future videos!
OMG I love how this turned out!! Such moody colors and atmosphere but it makes me feel so happy looking at it 🥰. And the glowing peachy lavender in the middle feels like someone opened the door to my heart 💜. It has a feeling of childlike wonder to it… which is fun because I feel like that’s the place you (and so many of us who are inspired to create art) were trying to get back to and hold on to as you were creating this piece - letting go of the idea of perfection/judgement and instead just allowing the curious exploration of joy to lead 🌦.
Watching something like this reminds me that others are experiencing the same struggle and moments of illumination that I am… that I am not alone. Thank you Natasha for being willing to show us your vulnerability, giving us the opportunity to show more of ours as well 💖🌟💖
Thank you for such a lovely, thoughtful comment! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed watching my experiments and process. :)
Such fun watching you create! Thank you! I love your art.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Mariangela. 🖤
I love the dark clouds 🌚
Thank you! It was a good experimentation session which has given me ideas for a new piece of work. :)
It’s so beautiful!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you, Tereza!
Thank you for sharing your creative process! It's so helpful to see what you do!
Thank you for watching! It's lovely to be able to share my process as I love watching other artists and it's been so helpful to me too.
I wnjoyed the whole video...💜😍
That's really great to know, thank you so much!
Loved this want to order some of that myself ! Great format Natasha 👏👏👏
You should draw along with me next time! ;)
Having you and a few other you tube artists to watch and work with , it’s not always the same sometimes it’s just chaotic nonsense , but I don’t feel alone I can’t talk to my family members about arts or art supplies, they think I’m obsessed but not knowing how long my life will last I’m doing what makes me happy, and art supplies, art stores and you tubers that’s art related it’s these 30 minutes sketch book doing what I love , so scared to go to sleep sometimes I don’t want to wake up dead and it could be any moment so making myself happy now which might be the end is what’s important to me, please don’t stop with the no music I think this is way better, keep doing this it feels like yore right next door not 100’s of miles away in a diff country, I don’t mention the cancer to get sympathy, just part of my rambling , please. Keep doing this no music
I'm so very sorry that you're in this situation, Deborah, but I'm glad that you're doing what makes you happy. Concentrate on what you love and I'm sending you all of my very best wishes.
Love your work❤️
Thank you so much, Rosy! x
Found out some more about these tinted black gansai paints,they are a kind of hybrid,they are a mix of watercolour and sumi ink. When you add just a small amout of water the sumi ink part is more pronounced and if you dilute them more the watercolour part becomes more pronounced.
I got a set of these after another of you brilliant videos on this set and I really love them,they are great on tinted/toned paper and also when you use metallic paints with them too. I used the first set so much I had to get another! But they are lovely to work with and i discoverd if you dilute them enough they can be used with a dip pen or even a glass dip pen.And the pans are so larege as they are made to accomodate Chinise calligraphy brushes and Sumi ink brushes which are larger.The paints were created for calligraphy originally. I use mine also with the Graphatint pencils from Derewent.
That's really interesting to know, thanks Matt! I'm so pleased that you're enjoying your tinted blacks so much. They are gorgeous!
Another great video Natasha, I just love the effects of the watercolour clouds. I hope you like the pencil sharpener and didn’t spend too much money at Jackson’s 😆 xx
Carly, I hold you entirely responsible for my most recent Jackson's order. 😂 xx
Natasha Newton Artist 🤣 on the plus side, I haven’t placed an order with them this week, although I did buy a scanner and a printer, so my spending is still out of control 😉 x
@@carlyamandaart Ooh, that sounds exciting though! Let me know how you get on with them. I'm looking for a scanner at the moment. x
Natasha Newton Artist I definitely will do, I’ve waited ages for them and just the small detail of having to work out how to use them now 😆
Hello ms Newton, there is this Lamy ink for its fountain pens named "blackberry", which in reality is a deep aubergine-black colour. It is my favourite colour (for so many things - it's "alive"). If you could suggest a colour pencil and/or marker with the same hue, do let me know. Nice work, ΙΩΝ
P.S. "The floor between us", is a lovely title for a novel or a Pet Shop Boys song.
I really love ur cloud and rain drop art I saw a few that u showed in another video I think there were 3 that sort of looked like they could go together and I fell in love with the way u do them they look so simple but so detailed and beautiful the more u see them, mayb sometime I can order some from u lol i plan to do my room in sort of a beach ish theme and I think the clouds and rain that u paint would go great with the color paint I want to do the walls, any way I love this video also lol
Thanks Amber, I'm so pleased you like them! 🧡 I may have some more rain clouds available soon - if you'd like to be notified of shop updates, please sign up to my mailing list via my website! www.natashanewton.com/mailing-list
I really enjoyed this video and ordered the watercolor paint set. Daniel Smith Indigo is one of my favorite paints too!
It's such a beautiful colour! Ooh, where did you order the paint set from? I got mine from Choosing Keeping in London (I'm currently making a video about my gorgeous purchases from there!).
Natasha Newton Artist , I found it on Amazon here in US for $12.68, arriving 9/10. Can’t wait!
@@lindakazel4273 That's a great price! Enjoy experimenting with them!
Hi Natasha, I’ve recently discovered your work and your RUclips channel and I love your videos, they’re really relaxing and inspiring! I was just wondering what brush you were using to do the fine lines of rain as it looked like it had a really good point to it? Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos, I really appreciate it 😊
Thanks so much, Jo! It's lovely to hear that you're enjoying the videos. For fine details I often use the Pro Arte Prolene Series 101 round brush range, usually a 3/0 or 4/0 size. They're tiny!
@@NatashaNewtonArt that’s great, thank you for letting me know, I’ve been after a good detail brush for ages! Take care and keep painting😊
When a pencil, particular ones, are dropped then the lead shatters and breaks so when sharpened they keep breaking. Some pencils don't do well at all if dropped.
I wonder if that's what happened to this one before it came to me!
@@NatashaNewtonArt most likely unfortunately
@@NatashaNewtonArt Prisma colors are known for that kind of breakage. They are wax based pencils though, and I've heard that some people have good luck with putting them into the microwave for a few seconds (to fuse the wax core inside the pencil back together). I have some but none have broken yet.
I have also heard that when you sharpen colored pencils you should not hold the pencil sharpener still and twist the pencil into it. But rather hold the pencil still and move the sharpener around it. Similar to an electric sharpener I suppose
You can also put on a warming pad or in the sun on a windowsill. Just be aware that some pencils have metallic foil on them which should not really go in the microwave … or you’ll get 🔥 sparks
great work :)
Thanks so much, Artem! It was fun to play around in my sketchbook.
Ive never worked in a notebook. Ive always been too scared to "mess it up" so I've never bought one and always work on sheets of paper. But this video makes me want to buy a notebook to do my art in. any recomendations for a watercolor notebook for me to make a go of it in?
Etchr does a good range of watercolour sketchbooks, or for something less expensive, Seawhite. :)
@@NatashaNewtonArt Thank you
No, I look at this and wish I could doodle like that! Give yourself a break!
Aw, thanks Michele!
What is the sketchbook you are using?
A Moleskine sketchbook!
It's not bad art! it's just a bit closer to graphic design or illustration.
This is true! :)
