Beautiful!

I never tried mixed media before following you...now, I LOVE it!

That’s really lovely Katie! I love hearing your thought process as you’re painting, thanks so much! x

Beautiful

I love watching your process Katie and your illustration is beautiful………I love those colours😍 I did succumb and ordered a set of these for my holiday, excited to try them now🤗 Thank you for sharing another fun and informative video🙏🏼

Oh what a cool and creative idea! I never thought of using highlighters for landscape art! 💖

I love watching people travel to Vienna and I get to experience things that are normal for me from an outside perspective. It reminds me that living in such a culturally rich city is not the norm and should be apprechiated more (:

Gorgeous illustration Katie! I have a couple of these highlighters and like using them for quick life drawing sketches. I think you’d like ‘cloudy blue’, it’s a dusky purple toned blue.

I will be getting these 😍

I did enjoy watching your video tonight!! Since you don’t sketch there are no pencil lines on the paper, which makes it so interesting to see where your lines are going next! Next thing you know, there is a garden, sidewalk, wall, and building. And it all comes together beautifully. Wonderful video Katie and truly, a beautiful piece of art in your journal. ❤❤❤

Did you get those ecoline open stock or ina set and if you got them in a set..which one 😂

Could you report back to us in a few months if the highlighters have faded? I use a similar set of name brand highlighters but they are definitely NOT lightfast; the lighter ones (particularly the neons/fluorescents) faded significantly over time -- even in a sketchbook. (The sketchbook does get opened a lot though, particularly outside on sketch crawls.) Definitely don't make art with them if you plan to hang up your picture on a sunny wall! Would be nice to hear your experience with them as time passes... Thanks! Really cute painting, btw! :)

Wow the piece turned out really awesome with these nature colors Katie! As others said they really fit you to a T! Thank you for always giving us new ideas. Now I really really feel like getting the Stabilo nature markers and the Strathmore mixed media sketchbook! 😂❤

💚💚🎀🎀♦♦🍒🍒🌸🌸

Very fun video 😄 I have seen pieces people have made using highlighters, but not the process, so thank you for taking us along your experiments. I really love how it turned out, and the colour palette definitely suits you 😊💜 I think this would be a great exercise for loosening up, because you don't take it so serious when you have some highlighters. And you've kinda forced to embrace the texture of the mark making. Definitely going to try this in some way 😄

How is this set so perfectly “Katie moodie!?”

Ive been using a sketchbook thats sort of in between these two lately (because i like to use one sketchbook for drawing/inspiration/journaling, collage and any other bits and bobs) The sketchbook is actually the soft cover Strathmore drawing sketchbook. Its similar to the mixed media (which I LOVE btw) but its more off white, a little thinner and has 96 pages instead of 64. Its also slightly cheaper. Even the b5 is only around 15 dollars US. I just wanted to throw that out there. It takes watercolor surprisingly well so of course gouache works perfectly. Colored pencils are great in it too.

very fun, thanks for posting Katie

Beautiful!! 🥰🥰

I tried something similar before with zebra mildliners and they could not blend at all 😂 it's a cool idea to use them mixed media though

Very suprised with the colours, they look realy nice for mixemedia sketches 🤩 didn't know these ones, thanks for sharing Katie!

This was a fun video, Katie! Like to use the zebra mild liner highlighters in my sketchbook & they have a lovely brush tip on them - the colours are more muted than traditional neon colours so they’re beautiful!

Lovely Katie! x Nell.

Nice! Very informative on the sketchbook test part. Now I know that this highlighters are not for me as I only use Royal Talens 🫠 but I might rebel and get one or two of them 😂 thanks Katie!

5:52 VERY pretty seascape🥰

References are a huge part of my sketchbook practice as well, even if its just for a concept that ill use my own imagination to jump off from. It takes a lot of the pressure off and makes my sketchbook practice much more enjoyable. Great video!

Thank you!! I really love your art style and you inspired me to come out of my comfort zone and create a bit more. Watching your videos really is calming because your voice and your accent is so pretty and I don’t know how you do it- your art’s just really pretty!

Great tips. May I ask how you are a full-time artist now? Does social media pay replace having a job or do you sell enough art to pay your bills? Genuinely curious. TIA.

thank you for all these references. I love the google maps/live cams idea :D

Ahhhh … some of these supplies are on my wishlist for quite some time waiting for the perfect time to be ordered. I think I will be ordering single pens/pastels to get the colors I need instead of investing in a full set, even if the little devil on my shoulder always says the opposite. 😂

Very helpful and so pretty!

i literally cannot explain how much your art means to me. its so amazing how everything you draw comes to life in your art.

Another wonderful and enjoyable video Katie! All of your videos are well worth watching whether it is something of interest or not. There is always something to learn from you because you share so much of your knowledge and experience!!❤❤❤

I enjoy using this one with brown ink, don’t know why I find the black too harsh. You’re doing a beautiful job despite being your first time with it! You’re so accomplished!

How do the brush pens cope with the royal talens sketchbook paper over time? I splashed out on some tobows but am scared to ruin them on the wrong/too rough paper!

Nasty nails 🤮

I love the idea of referencing your own art to redo a past painting. Might have to try that soon! I love being a member of Patreons, as a mother of young children, the decision fatigue is REAL 😂

I always look forward to your videos. Your voice is very confident and clear and easy to listen to. Sometimes I play your older ones in the background when I need inspiration. Thank you for sharing your knowlege.

Love your cute sketches ❤❤

Old post cards are also wonderful references. Thank you for your wonderful resources.

Thank you so much for using the Inktense pencil products as intended, and for placing that section right up front in the video! Most of the time when I search KZbin for Inktense pencil tutorials, the pencils make a cameo, while the Inktense pan paints get most of the screen time. That, or they'll draw on a palette and paint with the pencils that way the entire time. Watching you push through that first piece was instructive for me and I'm really impressed how it turned out.

Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing so many great reference ideas! ❤❤❤

Great ideas and suggestions/references. Thinking about other resources, print catalogs and magazines...the few that still exist. My husband gets Hemmings Motor News filled with all kinds and years of cars in different colors and angles. We get a bird and flower magazine with great photos. Of course, those would be copyrighted but for studies and sketchbooks... Certain museum collections, not of art but of objects... Fun!

I think you summarise all the best ways to get references 😊 I definitely need to try to draw more from life and from old drawings too! Usually I choose the easiest way, and just look for a reference that is ready to start 🙈 also would like to mention an weekly art challenge that I run on Instagram with an artist friend, it's called The Botanica Collective and every week we share a photo (with credits and previous authorization from the author) for artists/creative interpret in their own way 🌿 it's all about botanica, you may like it Katie 🤗

you can ´t paint. Sorry.

Drawing from reference bridges the gap between observation and memory. To work from memory, you need plenty of images in your memory bank. Working from reference helps to fill it up. Someone in the comments already suggested it, but I would add the work of the masters as great references. The goal isn't to make an exact copy, but to learn why you admire that artist, and think of ways to bring those qualities to your own work.

holiday photos are perfect for references, especially since I always take far too many haha 😂
