Wow I love this sketchbook drawing :)

This is so beautiful and gorgeous, its one of the prettiest painting ive ever seen. You need to keep going on with this talent of yours. This is amazing.

Amazing portrait ❤

Wow I love how you painted this bird ❤

Perhaps you’ll use your drawings and some photos that you take to paint something later on.

Great advice 😊I’ve missed watching your videos. I hope you are still painting.

I love childlike drawings and love collecting children’s books for the illustrations! ❤

Wonderful! 🎉

These are very nice. Pablo Picasso said that the innocent, childlike artwork was the purest form of art. He could paint lovely, masterful art. But he was always trying to get back to that loose representational, childlike art he used to draw.

aww :3❤❤

❤

Absolutely loved this video, and I totally agree with many of the things you said about doing the things you enjoy. Having a big house cost $$$ and imagine the cleaning. I hate doing housework now. All my life at the moment is working at my job and doing housework at home. I miss my hobbies so bad, hopefully at some point I can get back into them. But I'm enjoying watching others on youtube and I learn a lot.

Loved this video, made me laugh. Some great products there and I've put those Zebra brush pens on my Amazon wish list. Looking forward to more art videos and seeing your progress.

oh i want all that stuff!

Hope you are doing well. When are you coming back to share your art supplies, journey etc? Miss you from the U.K.

I really like the look of your sketches - - I see a real style and they hang together well!

Update on this video: We are about to receive a ton of these sketchbooks and some will pretty much have all colors in stock! There will not be any dotted versions in our restock, but we will indeed have all colors of the regular sketchbooks very soon. Thank you once again to @artbecomings for shouting us out in this video and for showing small biz that love ❤️ 🎨

We as society put too many labels on too many things. We should just be happy and draw, paint, sketch or scribble anything they like whether it turns out ugly or pretty. There are no rules in art, just do you and be happy with what you do. People work in more than one sketchbook at a time. If you worry about what others do, you will lose the happiness in your own. Keep creating 💙💛💜

WOW! Can’t tell you how much it means to us that you made a video about your positive experience shopping with us. We are a small business who takes a lot of pride in what we do and we truly appreciate your orders with us. Thank you so much once again for the shoutout & big love from Waco, TX! ❤️🎨😺

Enjoyed video hope your able to settle in , just take one room at a time or in case of art room maybe one corner at a time💛🇨🇦🇺🇲✍🎨💛

Definitely agreed with you on the sketchbook v. finished art book. Then realized I actually do the finished pieces thing 😅 but it’s because I get books with high quality watercolor paper and don’t want to “waste” the paper. But it does all feel like practice to me. I’m definitely going to make a true sketchbook soon though because my drawing skills are lacking and I need that ugly practice to explore. Thanks for the reminder! And also the note about people not caring when you sketch in public, that’s going to help me get over that anxiety.

This is all so beautiful! Happy move to you and your furry children!

The new place looks lovely 🥰🥰🥰 and the sketches were so adorable 😂💖

Enjoy your new home. Lovely video!

The viarco pencil is a carpenters pencil, we used to sell them in our Hardware shop. You pare it with a knife or Stanley blade. You can use it for drawing and make some unique marks and lines.

No. No need to see u cutting the box open. ❤

I'm so glad you showed us this website! Unfortunately shipping is very high BUT I still plan to buy some stuff one day soon! It's an incredibly awesome site and I love everything so thank you for showing us your stuff! 🖤

Ohhh the colors are lovely ...your paintings is something i would paint also..👩‍🎨🎨✍

Enjoyed video.. the first part of video scenes were outstanding i wouldve been sketching there for hours...👩‍🎨🎨✍

Thats lovely

Supplies get sad when we don't use them 😁 so true! I am also 40, also an artist with a day job, started painting when I was ~30, with several gaps in between, and only in recent years I have "allowed" myself to use the nice supplies for just everyday art practice, for missteps, explorations and just playing around. And I have learned from all of that! Thank you for your channel!

❤❤❤

thank you for your honest thoughts about that. In face I came across quite some of these Sketchbook tours you mentioned, and I am honest I am intimidated by them. I am barely showing what I do. In fact funnily ebough I have that very same Sketchbook you do, my mom brought it to me from Sweden and I don't know I want it to be special. I only habe one page of swatching and a double paged fox I am working on. And I plead myself guilty I will be working hours on it, but I do so because I want to feel happy about it, I want to practice fur and values... it should be a safe place. I hope you are well, Alaska is so beautiful and I really enjoyed to see your drawings as they are. In fact some are really lovely.

I got divorced 11 years ago after 36 years abusive marriage, my children cut me off due to my narsasistic x husbands lies. I don't have friends or other family or pets, my art supplies are my life!!! I've got no one to spend my money on and the pleasure I get out of art supplies is enormous, I was 68 last week and bought my self art goodies and wrapped them up and opened them on my birthday. I've learnt you have to make things special for yourself

This is random but could you make a video about what you eat and your skincare routine...I love your skin :)

Send your little sketches and paintings is really cool. I'm there with you and I appreciate you showing the process.

Choosing Keeping in London Carrie’s Wallace and Seymour pastels. Fun video and good luck with that job

I love your sketchbook. You are so on your way. I learned to be very careful of the negative things I say to myself, especially about my art. No matter what a picture, drawing, or painting looks like, there's always something I like about it, so that's what I look for and what I speak about. Even if you only like the colors you chose, I would say that instead of saying oh it's ugly or I oh I don't like it. Building ourselves up it's the best way to build ourselves up. Loving your journey. ❤

We have a giant window in our shower for natural light and I love it but other people get freaked out when they see it cause they don’t know it’s one sided. 😂😂 Love the vlog. ❤❤ And I don’t keep a daily sketchbook. I use scrap paper and then toss it. I hate seeing that stuff cluttering my art room. I do have a binder of my “finished” pieces that I absolutely hate so that I can see my progress.

You should sell those

There is some very nice work in your sketchbook! Your moose have gotten better with each one. And your birds are quite sweet looking! I absolutely agree with you about the definition of a sketchbook. In fact, I label my sketchbooks as such - I will put a label on them or write on the front to denote it as a place where I can make all my mistakes, learn what I need to learn, experiment and just in general make bad art. It's a reminder to myself about it. But I really hate to put a label on good art vs bad art. It's all art in those books. These books are smaller and portable and I have them all over the house, in my purse, my travel trailer, everywhere. I don't worry about finishing them or not. Some are thicker than others and they are all different varieties. Some are for strictly dry media, others are mixed, and still others are for watercolor. As for my finished pieces, I have 2 going. They are larger and not at all portable. One is for dry media and the other for watercolor (or whatever other kind of wet media I have. I don't think of them as sketchbooks. They are my art journals. Welcome back btw!

There is an honesty and intuitive beauty to your sketches. Trust your journey, enjoy the process and listen to your artistic voice!

I suggest changing the image in the badge of your wonderful channel, perhaps through the image also the number of subscribers and followers will increase, and I really like the content and benefit and learn a lot🌸🏵🌲

I'm happy to see you back! I've spotted quite a few wonderful drawings in your sketchbook 😍 Many of these artists with beautiful sketchbooks also keep messy sketchbooks for experiments and quick drawings. I have a "messy sketchbook", where everything is allowed and a couple of nice sketchbooks for more finished pieces. I usually don't show the really messy drawings or paintings. Sometimes they're so ugly that I have to put gesso on it. Otherwise they haunt me 😅

Retroactive best luck and good vibes 😊

I really like the way you’re looking at life! It seems like you’re living one day at a time! I’ve been painting for 30 years or so and drawing all my life. Creating art is joyful.

Have you tried a damp brush on the stones to see if you can use them as watercolors?

I didn’t buy art supplies or did any art from 2004 to 2020. Same story as you. I went to school a LONG time, then got my stable job and a couple kiddos. The pandemic hit me straight on: I was juggling kids, work from home. So difficult. It was a mess. So in April 2020 I bought a few art supplies to get back into it at night after they went to bed. Didn’t take long before my office was my studio. The endorphins from drawing and painting are so pleasant. I feel so good when I paint. Anyways, it was kind of lonely doing art in a bubble so I started posting on Instagram. I would post everything I did. Worts and all. That freed me from that fear of failure. Some are nice, some really not. And it gave me a community. You should post on Instagram too. There are some nice people there. Especially the watercolorists. I really enjoy your videos. I am a total art supply addict. Just holding a brush makes me happy!
