  • Take a peek inside sketchbook #56. In my sketchbooks you'll see plein air painting, painting from live models, sketching, ink and watercolor, pencil, gouache... Sketching is all about exploring ideas and techniques.
    I make my sketchbooks with artists' grade watercolor and drawing papers. If you'd like to know more about my custom books please see my blog post titled, "The Perfect Sketchbook".

    There is something about this sketchbook tour that is uniquely special from others. And I've seen LOTS. The art is so warm and captivating.

      Brody, Confused by your comment. I didn’t recommend people should paint outside right now...Or are you just taking this moment to remind people?

    Your townscapes and houses are sooo warm and adorable illustrations! Wonderful!
    Did you bind this sketchbook yourself? It looks custome-made.
    If so, did you bind it first or first were the paintings made and then the binding?

    • @brendaswensonwatercolors
      @brendaswensonwatercolors  4 года назад +1

      ...Thank you!
      I make my sketchbooks with an assortment of papers. You can see instructions here: brendaswenson.blogspot.com/2012/05/perfect-sketchbookcontinued.html?m=1

      @@brendaswensonwatercolors Dear Brenda, thank you! Wow, how come such a brilliant idea doesn´t occur to everyone. Genious and amazing!
      I am one of those beginners who prefer painting on single sheets of paper taped to a board. And you know what, your sketchbooks inspired me to a similar idea: to spiral bind selected finished works to have them organized nice and clean. I even think it's not a problem if not all paintings are the same size. It would be a crazy looking sketchbook, but for sure unique. He-he. It would help save some margins one one side of paper for the binding.
      When I have enough finished paintings worth binding together, I think I´ll try it.
      Oh, oh, and for all thouse children drawings that I store in a box it could be a wonderful solution too!
      Thanks for inspiring!!!

    I would say if you live somewhere with lots of human activity, sketch what you see out the window, be it a car parked on the side of the road that hasn't been there before, flowers in the window sill, people or road work, the neighbours house, etc!

    Hi, thanks so much for your lovely sketchbook. I'm new here, what do you mean by negative painting? Some of those were my favourites!

    • @brendaswensonwatercolors
      @brendaswensonwatercolors  4 года назад

      Amy,
      Negative Painting is a technique unique to watercolor. The technique requires building up transparent glazes and building shapes (negative space). I have demos on RUclips and on my blog www.brendaswenson.blogspot.com

    I’m sure you’ve answered this many times...but what is your sketchbook? I noticed some tracing paper...was it taped in or bound in?

    • @brendaswensonwatercolors
      @brendaswensonwatercolors  4 года назад

      Vicki, No tracing paper. All images are drawn freehand. Sketchbook instruction are in the text below video.

    • @Vickilou92
      @Vickilou92 4 года назад

      I didn’t mean to imply you traced your art...the very first page looks like a Mylar. It would be nice to have a sheet of glassine in between each page!

    • @brendaswensonwatercolors
      @brendaswensonwatercolors  4 года назад +1

      vicki ross, I have an assortment of drawing papers in the front. The paper you noticed that has a shine is called Bristol Plate. It’s very slick and fun to work on.

      Lisa, how do I keep my Colors so vibrant? I mix a lot of colors on paper on the palette. I also glaze with transparent colors, careful to let each layer dry before glazing.
