Hai, John, I live in the Netherlands and I have a low budget to spent. So I buy original photobooks in secondhandstores. These are ideal for drawing and painting and they have those thin papers between the pages that protect my drawings.
Hi John, I just discovered your channel here and am so impressed. I also just recently purchased three of your sketching / journaling/drawing books and I can't wait to start reading them. I live in the SF Bay area and also purchased the map of local birds which has been wonderfully fun to reference. Yesterday I saw a different kind of bird on our fence feeder and I reached for your reference map and discovered it was a woodpecker. Wow.....it's just so much fun to check out everything that is in nature. Thank you for the details in your books and videos. You are so talented and I'm definitely going to tell all my nature and sketching loving friends about you.
This is a great video on choosing a journal. Do you ever make your own bound journals? You continue to this day to produce entertaining and informative videos. Thanks!
8-28-21 Hi there. I’m just discovering you! Where have you been all my life. Lol. I’m Having a blast. Your daughters in the last video I watched was pretty cool too. Now this video back in time .... You’ve inspired me. Thank you.
Please John. On another tutorial you mentioned that a yellow and a magenta would make red. I have heard this before but your picture sent me to the studio to get every watercolor that I have trying to achieve red. Help! Non made read. Please tell me who makes a cyan / magenta that will do this ..buy the way ,best sketch classes ever. Thanks.
I watched his video about colored pencils, and I have a 12 pack of Prisma colors, but when he said which 3 primary colors I needed, the set I have only had the blue. I cannot make pink with what I have. I need a different yellow and a different magenta to have the 3 primary colors. Not sure about watercolor but it is probably similar. It might be the same video you are talking about. About primary colors NOT being red, yellow and blue, but being Magenta, Yellow and Cyan, like our printers use.
@@recoveringsoul755 yeah, you need the right yellow, magenta, and cyan for colored pencil (for watercolor the colors/pigments are: Hansa Yellow Light (not sure about its pigment code), PV 19, PB 15). I'm currently exploring this using Progresso Woodless Colored Pencils and Derwent Watercolor Pencils. In Progresso I think the colors are Light Yellow, Carmine, and Sky Blue; in Derwent Watercolor I think the colors are Lemon Yellow, Magenta, and Kingfisher Blue. In his Nature Journal Connection colored pencil episode he lists these colors in Faber-Castell Polychromos.
