    Instead of fighting the plastic wrap roll, re-use it. I have a piece about the size of w/c paper (9"x12") that I keep handy. When done, I just rinse it off and let it dry. I keep 2 or 3 piece by my desk. I scrunch it and can fit into a tiny space. I like your channel and doodle in my sketchbook in the AM when having my tea. Great way to start the day....with art!!! Thanks!

      Thank you so much for the tip! You should have seen me! It was ridiculous how long it took me to just reach out for the pieces I had used 🤣🫣
      I’m so grateful that my videos can keep you company and you enjoy them! ❤️

    These sketchbook videos have been a building block for me to get started in this hobby. It’s only been since July that I have been working on a sketchbook. Everything has been inspired by your videos so far.

    I bet that plastic wrap idea would work great on a scene through a frosted window! Thanks for the idea. I 've recently been practicing painting rainy scenes through glass and I can't wait to do some winter ones with the plastic wrap.

    One thing I love the most using watercolors is their overlapping, creating beautiful and interesting patterns. First one reminds me of a map at some points, idea just popped up in my head for recreating an old painting of mine with this method.. 4:02 argh I hate when that happens 😑 My favourite is idea with 🌈circles and flower and one with the leaves. Btw love your nails color 😍

    Loved the plant and who doesn't like glitter gel pens - so much fun. Definitely doing the plastic wrap tomorrow and I have some bubble wrap that would be a fun texture exercise. I think the plastic wrap might work better with only three complimentary colors, we'll see.

    I think that was the missing key, if you will, in my paintings. That being just the freedom to do what comes to my mind. I’m always amazed at what comes out of the process of thinking and drawing..
    When I go back over my painting journals I’m fascinated by a series of very dark harsh paintings in comparison to light and happy paintings and all the “in betweens”. It is like the interbeing expressing an emotion.

    • @bycreativepaula

    Yes! You definitely inspire me. I've been working in my art journal everyday and am having such fun! I love the circles too and paint this to turn into ornaments on Christmas cards. I sprinkle a little silver and gold with pens and definitely use different glitter gel pens because who doesn't like shiny at the holidays!😄😁

      Well I would lean into their “hate” and see what happens with that… if you see the first pages of the sketchbook I’m using now to develop my next paintings you would think someone who’s never held a brush painted them! Lean into the disaster; “ruin” a few pages, and something will start to take form!
