Bonjour Brenda !
For the moment, my favourite is Stillman and Birn Delta. I don't practice only watercolours. I like the quality and also the ivory tone paper. But I hope some day I'll dare to buy this Etchr perfect sketchbook, and about A4 is a format that I like. Thanks for sharing.

I am an avid sketcher. Your sketchbooks have been an inspiration to me. I have learned so much about composing the pages. Thank you so much Brenda for sharing.
Chammi, You are so welcome!
SO nice! Love the journal and I love Santa Barbara.
Thank you! Santa Barbara is a magical little city❣️
Thank you for taking your time to share your talent! I had to stop to REALLY look at your work…
Such talent!…what a creative and unique perspective that is definitely yours!
I’ve had your book for awhile and had no idea you had videos!?! It was very exciting and I will enjoy each one…
Wish I was closer and could take classes from you.
Just very grateful for your videos and all you so generously share.
My painting (I’m self taught) has been the biggest help during very difficult times….aren’t we blessed to have found this?
Blessings,
Nancy Rolfe
Nancy, My little book goes back a few years...oldie but goodie. Glad you like how my work has matured over the years.
Beautiful artwork!! Love your illustrated journals. I agree that Etchr’s Perfect Sketchbook is top notch.
Thank you so much!
I just discovered your work and I am binge watching all your videos. You do so very lovely things, I can only aspire paint on my sketchbook as beautifully as you do.❤
Rita, Thank you for the kind words💕
Hi Brenda - I love your artwork and your beautiful watercolors. I lived in Santa Barbara for many years until recently. Your sketches and beautiful paintings truly honor the unique architecture of this beautiful city. Thank you for sharing your precious gift!

So beautiful ! loved it !
Thank you so much!!
I recently purchased this watercolor sketch journal and really love it. ❤❤❤
Wonderful!
Beautiful work! Pasadena is my home town, so I loved seeing Castle Green and Eaton Canyon portrayed so beautifully and the arts and crafts aesthetic is so Pasadena from back in the day. So many craftsman bungalows ❤
Kelly, Glad you enjoyed it! Love living in the Pasadena area.
This is the most beautiful journal I have ever seen
You are so kind🥰
Una belleza de sketchbook y totalmente inspirador. Muchas gracias por compartirlo.
Thank you.
💝
Thanks!
I really enjoyed your sketchbook tour and the story you tell by making an illustrated journal. I have never done that before with my sketchbooks but you've inspired me to head in that direction! I noticed that the Etchr Perfect Sketchbook paper is 100% cotton, which I have found makes such a difference when painting. Also, I noticed that you're involved in the California Art Club. I recently moved to Atwater Village from Washington, DC for retirement and I hope to get involved in the California Art Club. Thanks again for your amazing video!
John, Thank you.
How lovely , enjoyed this thanks from New Zealand
Dawn,
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful pages. The Bee float was my favorite. Just adorable!
Awww thank you! ~Brenda
Oh wow ❤💕❤️🐝
Thank you! ~Brenda
I love your compositions. The float being made was one of my favorites!
Cool, thanks!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
Your sketching skills are beyond compare. What a. Beautiful style. I’m going to have to check out your channel because I would bet watching you sketch is pretty amazing. I almost looks like a contour style and then the periphery is popped in. I don’t know. But your eye and. Perspective are spot on and that amaryllis spread was so beautiful. But for me the architecture is so impressive.❤
Sharon, Thank you so much for the kind words😀
I live in SB - hope to catch your next workshop!
Sounds good!
Thank you for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
Fantastic! Love your sketchbook tours, you have some very nice pieces in this sketchbook. Is Etchr your preferred sketchbook?
Morrison,
Thank you so much! The Etchr sketchbook is perfect for the way I work...lots of wet paint and glazing. Contains true 140lb 100% cotton paper!
Brenda
Wow I love the whole feel of your sketchbook. Now I regret not being able to join your workshop at WASH in Houston when you come. The group is going to have SO much fun! Drawing with ink, no pencil… eek! I need to learn to be comfortable with that… thanks for sharing this awesome book.
I Workshop in Houston is negative Painting. No pen and ink drawing for that workshop.
Beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Awesome artwork. Thanks for sharing
Thank you😊
Beautiful
Thank you! ~Brenda
beautiful sketchbook
Thank you😊
Hey Brenda, I've been following you for a long time. In fact, I think your channel was one of my first subscriptions . I can honestly say that no matter what level an artist skill is, your work just keeps on getting better! I mean that sincerely. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm always happy to see your new videos, and I thank you for doing these
Best regards
Heather 😀
Heather, Thank you so much for the sweet comment!
do you like this paper for fountain pen? I can’t decide between the beta sketchbook & etchr!
Annabella, The Etchr Perfect Sketchbook has rougher paper than Beta. You need a wet writer with the Etchr. If you want to do more ink/pen line work you might prefer the Beta. It all depends on how you want to use a sketchbook.
Happy Sketching!
Brenda
@@brendaswensonwatercolors thank you Brenda that helps so much!! My pen definitely feels a bit scratchy on some cold pressed papers so I’ll try the beta first for now
These are all so beautiful! May I ask a question? On your trips, how do you bring all f your watercolor, water and how do you paint on location? Anyway, these are beautiful. Have a nice day!
Good question! I have a couple set ups for sketching on my RUclips Channel. Here’s one: ruclips.net/video/iKsme0wedDk/видео.htmlsi=un52pfLJTiF2_ZTC
@@brendaswensonwatercolors Thank you so much! I've been wanting to do on location sketching for a while but it's nice to come prepared and have my bag ready. This definitely helped! :)
Thank you for sharing this. So inspiring. I love your work, it’s beautiful.
Fiona, Thank you so much!
Love love love! Your work! What do you use as a sketching pen? It looks like a brown marker? Does it bleed if you add the watercolour?
Hi Alison,
The brown ink you see in the sketchbook we’re done with the fountain pen. I used waterproof ink: De Atramentis Document, Ink, Brown.
Question about sketchbooks. Do you know of any that have the elastic strap on both sides? How is that not a thing? I’m thinking of adding one on the front side/left side of my more important sketchbooks.
I don’t know if any sketchbooks with two elastics wraps. I sometimes use an elastic headband.
@@brendaswensonwatercolors thanks, great idea!
