@@thelifehackerest thank you so much!

They will be perfect for that! 😊

@EmmaFalcornerArt Would they?😁 i,ve never tryed it. I draw and paint now in a canson mixed media a4 sketchbook ✌🏾👍🏾👋🏾 would be cool i,ve never drawn or painted on toned paper before😁

@@lifeismusicparnadonkers toned paper is great for gouache as it has so much opacity. The paper acts as a mid tone so you can go straight in with light or dark. It’s a lot of fun! If you want to test the idea before you buy you could try painting a wash of grey on your current paper first, let it dry and then paint on top. I would suggest a wash of your acrylagouache or a waterproof ink so it doesn’t bleed in to what you paint on top

@@EmmaFalconerArt thank you so mutch for this information. I realy appriciate it. I....i am still doubting between the canson aquarel sketchbooks and the mixed me sketchbooks from canson. Thegouache paint doesnt dry that quick on mixed media paper as it has done on my canson a4 watercolour paper. But the acrylic gouache dry,s in no time and doesnt come off of the mixed media paper. So i don,t know witch on too choose🤔Btw the aquarel sketchbooks are way cheaper than the mixed media sketchbooks from canson 😁✌🏾👍🏾🎨👋🏾

@@EmmaFalconerArt i am staying whit my canson xl aquarel sketchbooks and dump the mixed media once,s and try the strathmore toned sketchbooks😁👋🏾🎨✌🏾👍🏾

Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much 😊

I’m glad it was helpful, thanks for watching 😊

Strathmore have a few different weights of paper in their grey toned paper range, you may get some warping but worth a try. You could also try adding some clear gesso to prime your pages first.

Thank you @EmmaFalconerArt😊

There aren’t a great deal of watercolour sketchbooks in a square format around, but Arteza makes one which is ok. It seems one side of the page is a big rougher which is suited to watercolour and a smoother side which would be more suited for your graphite. I tend to treat these sketchbooks a little more like mixed media than strictly watercolour. These are a cellulose paper so more on the affordable side and come in packs of 2 on Amazon. I have seen a couple of square watercolour sketchbooks on Amazon but I haven’t tried them.

There’s a lot of options you could go with, I recently purchased a Jane Davenport mixed media sketchbook, I think it’s 8.5”x11” and the paper is quite thick. It’s hard bound, so hard cover and not spiral bound. Strathmore has some nice options and winsor and newton. It depends on where you are and what is available to you.

I’m so glad you found it helpful! I actually wouldn’t mind making another video on this comparing a few more as I have a bit of a sketchbook buying obsession and have acquired more since I made this video. I have a problem haha. I should look at doing other comparisons in the future too, I’ll add them to my list. Thanks for your comment 😊

Nice! Strathmore also make a thicker mixed media, grey toned in a pad for more wet media which is also nice.

@@EmmaFalconerArt Hi! Yea I found them on Amazon in tan, grey and blue and plan on getting them when I can.

@@catherineraper nice! I have the grey and blue but not the tan, maybe one day!

Thanks for watching 😊

Thank you! I really enjoyed creating that one :)

Thank you so much, your comment made my day! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊

@@EmmaFalconerArt you're welcome 😊🌹

I'm glad you found it helpful 😊

Thankyou 😊 I'm so glad to inspire you!

That's so sweet, thankyou!

Thank you so much!

Thankyou so much 🙂

Thankyou 😊

Excellent suggestions thankyou. I'm still using the palette and need to spritz a little now but the paints are still going great

So sweet! thankyou so much 😊

Thankyou, I'm glad you like it

Hopefully these videos are informative 😊

That is so sweet, thankyou! I really appreciate your comment and support 😊💜

Thankyou so much, I'm happy you like it

@@EmmaFalconerArt :)

Then post them I shall! Thankyou for your feedback 😊

Also, the black and white digital with half face above the surface is my fav! She looks like Miley 🤘

@@sandrabaulch thankyou! I can actually make a video on that one too 😁

I did film the process of 2 traditional mermaids so I shall make videos and talk about the process so stay tuned! 😁

@@EmmaFalconerArt lol, I did hear that but I had posted my comment before I finished watching the video, my bad, I got excited 😁

@@deniseellis2654 Totally fine! It's great to hear the feedback that you'd like to see that, so I'd be happy to make videos on the process 😁

Multimedia is the same as mixed media, being able to use several mediums, eg. Watercolour, pencils, acrylic etc usually the sketchbook will specify which mediums it will accept

Thanks, I'm working hard to make more videos 😊

Hi, I drew the characters from the It movie by using photo references, stills from the movie, I sketched them and used liquid ink to paint them. I can look at doing a tutorial on this in future, my style kind of varies between semi realism and illustration, I can always look at doing tutorials on both I guess

@@EmmaFalconerArt ahhh okey. Thank u

@@linamaile9033 not sure if that was helpful? But yeah happy to look at future tutorials 😊

@@EmmaFalconerArt that’s great. I‘m excited haha!!☺️

I would try and find a watercolour sketchbook that's 300gsm to reduce buckling, 100% cotton is very nice. However if you want to use sharpies and pencils a mixed media sketchbook might serve you better. I'm not sure what's available where you are but perhaps stillman and birn beta, maybe even the delta series. I also like the strathmore visual mixed media, 100% cotton. Sometimes it's trial and error. Good luck! 😊

@@EmmaFalconerArt thank u so much!!!☺️

@@linamaile9033 you're very welcome, I hope you find your perfect sketchbook!

Thankyou, I have deleted it now.

@@EmmaFalconerArt welcome the same thing happened to me so I thought it would help to inform u

@@fayizasabeek7098 I've had these a few times and I've deleted most of them not knowing what they were, but it had nothing to do with my video so I would just delete them. I missed this one. But thank you for telling me it was a harmful link, I don't need that here. Thanks again.

@@EmmaFalconerArt welcome

So many options! Do you already have one like this or are you looking for one?

@@EmmaFalconerArt im actually wanting to start a sketchbook!

@@tobyswishesxo9924 awesome! Well it sounds like you need a mixed media one, stillman and birn make some hardcover sketchbooks in A4 size, but that may be too big? Perhaps a moleskins watercolour or (i haven't reviewed them here, but I hear good things) the Paul ruebens hot pressed watercolour book or the etchr. These are pricier as they are 100% cotton though. I guess it depends on how you watercolour, I like using a lot of water so I prefer 300gsm 100% cotton. But if you're just doing light washes you'll have more options.

@@EmmaFalconerArt Thx sm! Im a huge fan! Ilysm!!

@@tobyswishesxo9924 that's so sweet! Thank you!

Real time videos or just generally?

When you say bendable cover, do you mean like a ring bound where you can flip the cover all the way around to the back, or a soft cover?

Hi, the last sketchbook that is 100% cotton watercolour paper is from a brand called holcroft. I got it from Riot art and craft in Australia

@@EmmaFalconerArt thank you so much Emma. It should be easy to find in Luxembourg, I saw it's produced in the Netherlands. Did you like using it? As a watercolor sketchbook I mean

@@huskytail i have only done a few paintings in it but I am enjoying using it. It's nice and thick so I've even painted on both sides of the paper with no issues. It wasn't great with the water soluble markers but watercolour paint was fine. These are the paintings I created in this book: instagram.com/p/CLFfRJsj9pm/?igshid=ira92zjv88j4 instagram.com/p/CKPal2RrUzb/?igshid=z936gn51n44x I used a lot of layers, no issues for me. And this is the first painting I did in the book kzbin.info/www/bejne/f33PhoGfeNWWjqc

@@EmmaFalconerArt thank you very much for the feedback

@@huskytail you're very welcome 😊

You will in time. Just keep working with what you have for now and when you do have the money, I hope you find the perfect sketchbook for you.

Thankyou so much, it was a lot if fun to paint!

Thankyou so much 😊

Thankyou, I'm glad you liked it 😊

Sounds like the canson xl mixed media sketchbook would suit you. They make a smaller version than the one I showed in this video

The vision mixed media sketchbooks probably are wood pulp, I couldn't find a lot of info for them, but yeah the visusl mixed media is 100% cotton. They're not cheap where I am unfortunately. Happy this very was helpful, enjoy your new sketchbook !

@@EmmaFalconerArt I've tried the vision one and I like it for markers and acrylics. But I was talking about the visual journal

@@fangchick93 apologies, auto correct stitched me up, I also meant the visual one lol I personally prefer the visual mixed media for watercolour, over the strathmore watercolour sketchbook

They're excellent sketchbooks 😊

Do you have one like this?

I want one with Bound sketchbook Big like 8/10 Black cover Mixed media Like 50 sheets/ pages

@@SarasStudio i believe strathmore and stillman and birn make sketchbooks like you're after. I have the strathmore one, but got it after I made this video.

@@EmmaFalconerArt are they bound and work with markers?

@@EmmaFalconerArt do you like your stillman. And birns one with markers?
