Thank you all for watching and an *extra* thanks for those who popped into the premier. *Do you have a favorite artist or artists at the moment????* Share it with us please!
Thanks for the Sketchbook info. At the moment: Liron Yanconsky & Sarah Burns Studio
Help! I can't find the artists you recommended. Can you please give me their names so I can search for them. I must be spelling incorrectly. Thanks heaps. Only just found you and loving getting to know your work 😃😃😃
Check in the description box. I provided links. 😊
One of my favourites is black British artist Minnie Small - she paints botanicals and landscapes and houses in watercolour and gouache, so you'd probably enjoy her work: ruclips.net/channel/UCLcxo0ysMP27XTiRKqrdASg
I love Stillman and Birn, mostly Alpha and Beta versions in 8x10. You can get a small sample pack of all their papers so you can decide which sketchbook to purchase.
For me beginning a sketchbook is so exciting while finishing one speaks volumes for feelings of accomplishment.
All great information. Thank you!
This video is two years old but I love Sandi Hester. She’s just so loose and so fun.
Agreed
Happy Sunday Brie! Loved your combination of talking direct to the camera and voice over. Longer than usual video felt like an extra treat!😉
I’m glad you enjoyed everything!!!
Thank you for sharing this video! My fav is the Stillman & Birn Beta Series 7.5 x 7.5 because it takes watercolor amazingly. But that Zeta 8 x 10!! I might have to try it! Blessings!
if you do try it I hope you like it. Its smoother than the beta and acts more like a mixed media paper to me
Great videos as always! I love new sketchbooks--so many possibilities, I remind myself it's only a piece of paper. Love Stillman and Birn--especially the Beta series.
Some fave artists; Samantha Dion Baker, Lindsay Weirich, Alyona's Creations, Ceecee's creations, Irit Landgraf
The beta is the first one I tried!
You shared some knew artists to me. I’m going to look them up. Thanks.
I still remember vividly how shocked I was at your Small field notes sized journal when I saw it in real life! Hahaha, the deception! 🤣🤣🙌🏻
I remember your face. At first I thought maybe he doesn’t like it because he isn’t saying anything. But then you look at me and was like, this is so crazy.
I follow several nature/urban sketchers.
John Muir Laws,Becky Cho, Danny with Sketchbook Skol and Paul Wang.
I have John’s(Jack) How to Nature Journal book and am asking for his how to draw birds for my bday in September! As well as a new cork cover!
I love all those sketchers! I hope you get your new cover for your birthday as well.
Thank you Brie, missed you last week. Made this weeks video all that much sweeter 💛 It’s been so fun to watch you grow in your style and have fun. You are really great at helping us all to remember to be carefree. Love it all. Bless you and yours! 💛💛
Thanks Manda! I am glad you enjoy my videos still. Haha I am starting to really recognize long time commenters.
Love
Thanks!!!
9:26 yes! cool sticker! I love James Gurney and follow lots of different urban sketchers. I have been doing more of that myself lately @slanedesign. Love the bear!! you should do a flip through of your field notes book & yes I get nervous when I start a new book too!
When I have filled more than a page of my field notes sketchbook I will do a flip for ya!!
Love the tips. Just got two tiny Stillman and Birn sketchbooks (alpha and beta) and a small and medium etchr sketchbook... I love the idea of starting with something you know. Also hoping to put my new stickers from you on them! They are lovely.
I like watching artist on RUclips. The mind of watercolor, Sarah Burns, in liquid color,
Those are three great channels.
Always excited about starting a new sketchbook, but I’m in the process of trying to finish the sketchbooks as well😊
Always trying to finish them.
I never have a problem starting the 3.5 x 5.5 sketchbooks, probably because they're so small they don't seem "important", but larger ones are a bit more daunting!
BTW I always assumed that Kat pronounces her surname "riles" - maybe she'll correct us both! I love her work - I bought her Roots and Wings oracle, plus a couple of stickers for my iPad and journals ❤️
You are right about last last name. She has yet to correct me saying it doesn’t matter. Such a sweet thing.
The bear is so cute!
Thanks John!
Epsilon and Zeta are my favorites for all mixed media..but I still struggle with what size of sketchbook to settle on
I get that, I purchased the two larger sizes and I enjoy having both in rotation
Great video! I’m curious about the large Stillman and Birn sketchbook. Will it fit in your Moleskine XL cover? Asking for a friend. 😉
Omg I haven’t tried it!! I will be trying it soon now.
My favorite artist is Stephsocks from doodle date!
Going to check them out.
I use gouache to finish paintings sometimes. Especially is there are small lights that I want to add (flowers mostly). I usually have white with me and mix it w watercolor when I need that opacity. Also I haven’t tried opaque white watercolor. I’m wondering if that would work instead. Has anyone tried it?
I’ve tried white watercolor and thought the gouache worked better.
I don’t work in a sketchbook because it’s too nerve wracking 🤣 same as when I’m doing Aboriginal dot paintings - I can’t plan them. I just do & work it out as I go. Lucky it’s forgiving. I’ve tossed a lot of watercolour paintings though 🤣
I can understand this. It’s probably the reason I like my spiral bound.
Hi Brie. I’m researching Stillman & Birn for my first ever sketchbook. I’m super new to sketchbook so I would appreciate some advice. My medium is largely watercolor, fine liner and fountain pen & ink. Complete beginner in all of that too. Do you have any thoughts of hardcover, softcover and spiral bound? Is the “A6” size too small in your opinion? I tried to look for information on the sketchbook weight (not paper) just to compare which one is more portable vs durable but haven’t found any info. Thanks, and appreciate your input!
I really like the a5 zeta and it would work well with all your supplies. The size fits nicely in a book bag.
@@DocumentedJourney thanks! Just ordered my new sketchbooks!! Beta & Zeta!
My problem is I start too many sketchbooks at once! I love Alyona Creates.
Haha 😂 I’m running into that problem too.
I haven’t heard of them. I’m going to check them out. Thanks.
Good morning 👋 Brie 🌹 again ☺️Thank You Again for the Live Chat earlier it was Great 👍 Hope you will do it again soon my favorite artist is Georgia O'Keeffe Hope you have a great week ahead stay safe and be careful 🙏✍️🖌️🎨💌☺️👋🦄
Georgia O’Keeffe is fantastic. I love how smooth she works. I’m glad you enjoyed the premier and yes. I do hope to try it again sometime.
@@DocumentedJourney So Smiling and Glad you will be doing some more live chats enjoy your week ahead too 🌹💌☺️👋🦄
