    Do you want to see more walk-throughs like this? Are there aspects of my work that you want to see new videos about?

    • @Sides3Sides
      @Sides3Sides 2 года назад +6

      I’d like to see active sketching/painting, especially with your 6 color palette

      The walk-throughs are very helpful, Liz. It's nice to see all types of page layouts at a glance. It's especially helpful when you talk through the mindset of a particular page.

      such a nice idea isn't it and some reflections and observations - for instance if you sketch a tree, read up about it and write about it, so you get to learn at the same time

    I love the color charts at 1:36 - 2:06! Of course everything else too, but the combinations of colors, with information of pigments, fascinate me to no end. My sketchbooks have a lot of color mix experiments too, (not sketches very much, I'm afraid) but I'm not as disciplined as you, I change the colors in my palette(s) often and so don't get the intuitive knowledge or touch how to get the exact color I want. But I love to play with colors! And to see how other people do the same.
    Your 6 color palette is interesting, I'll try it. Thank you for interesting sketchbook tour, and for all the beautiful tea cups! Greetings from Finland!

    My goodness those are beautiful!! I love that large size!! I can definitely feel a difference of freedom of movement when I'm using large vs small paper...but either still work. But I hope I can quickly sketch that well...wow!!
    Just beautiful!!

    This was such a fantastic journey through your sketchbook, Liz! Thank you for sharing it. (And of course I'd love to see the next one!) I'm in an A4 now, having started several years ago in a pocket-sized Moleskine watercolor album, and I'm loving the space. Might need to look into your sketchbook design course, though, as sometimes it's intimidating having so much room 😄. Cheers! -Anne

    It's very inspiring. All of us have material to sketch all around us, but for some reason it's still difficult to think of what to draw in a book like this. I love the Scripture verses thrown in, and the faint lines you've written them on. Feels very personal. Thank you for sharing.

So cool that you found a sketchbook that has good enough paper but not so good that you feel like you have to be precious. That’s where I get stuck! That $75 Fabriano cotton sketchbook I saved up to buy is NEVER going to get filled! 😂

    • @mattsadventureswithart5764
      @mattsadventureswithart5764 Год назад +1

      I used to be really precious about it, but realised that I was avoiding "ruining" good paper with simple everyday sketches / doodles and then not actually using the nicer paper. If monthly costs are less than the price of a packet of cigarettes, I'm in the winners zone (I quit that addiction ages ago, by the way), I'm still paying less out than I used to, and a sketching habit is far better than a smoking one.

    • @ashleyhawkeswatercolor

    I really like the how big that book is! It’s sometimes nice to have the extra real estate and the freedom it offers. I’m still bouncing between 5x7 and 8x6. I love the spiralbounds and I haven’t tried drawing across the spine. I know I don’t enjoy the Beta portrait 8x6 right now and I can’t wait to be done with it. Can’t decide what size to use next. I’m mid way thru my Zeta and Beta.. time for start restocking 😃

    Liz - you inspire me so much! I’m currently participating in your Foundations course (except I haven’t posted any work yet but it’s coming soon) and I’m totally loving this course. I am somewhat new to sketching but seeing your work and hearing your ideas just gives me so much encouragement and enthusiasm to get out there and do more. I’m using an Alpha paperback book but it would be nice to have a hardcover. I may have to try one of those spiral ones myself. Thank you so much for what you do!

    • @LizSteelArt
      @LizSteelArt  2 года назад

      Thanks Terri! I hope that you will start sharing your work into the Foundations course - the group is SO supportive and will encourage you! Hardcovers are easier to use but weigh more so overall for everyday sketchbooks I use softcover as carrying a lighter sketchbook makes a big difference.
