10 Years 7 Sketchbooks in 10 Minutes - a watercolour sketchbook flip through

A sketchbook flip through of my 7 completed watercolour sketchbooks from 2010 to 2020. It contains a lot if not all of my plein-air paintings, travel sketches, and random ideas here and there. You will hear me ramble on about some of my ideas and inspirations and why I do this, and why I love this. Feel free to ask any questions below regarding any pieces you see here, any other content you would like to see from my channel. Making videos are kinda fun even though I can be quite slow at it. Please enjoy =)

I had to slow down the video to get a glimpse of the drawings. Each of these sketchbooks deserve their own 20+ minute tour. Every single painting was amazing.

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I’m watching this at full speed first, and then I’m going to go slow it down to 0.25 speed and watch it again. I need more time to enjoy each page! So lovely. 😍

[@tinyclover]

Haha, that is a great idea. Thank you for watching :)

[@eristea7418]

Almost all of your 'finished' paintings looked like almost an image. That's super cool!

[@tinyclover]

Thank you for the lovely comment!:)

[@amberdreams_0]

Loved this speedy tour and I really wouldn't mind seeing a slower version lingering a bit longer on each book. I'll just have to come back and pause this every now and then. 😁

[@tinyclover]

That's a nice idea! I may just have to do one when I do finish the 10 sketchbooks =)

[@RadishTheFool]

Wow, so many paintings. You really gave it your all. And it paid off, you become visibly better and better throughout the sketchbooks. Amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@artbyjennifers]

OMG your paintings are amazing!!! I just love them all but the café/bakery scene in your third sketchbook really caught my eye! 😍😍 I hope you'll film more sketchbook tours in the future 🙊

[@tinyclover]

ooo Thank you nooticing one even amongst all the fast flipping! haha will do!

[@krakentowa8727]

Wow you are very talented! It was very nice to flip through all sketchbooks with you! Thank you for sharing :)

[@tinyclover]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@artforfun101]

Wow.. those sketchbooks are nicely filled. Beautiful paintings... and widespread use of yellow makes your paintings more interesting. 😊

[@tinyclover]

Thank you! I do like yellow a bit too much haha

[@enji.a5574]

This is amazing plein air work! I have always dreamed of painting on location, I love you sketchbooks they’re so charming and lively, keep it up!

[@tinyclover]

Thank Enji!! Let's hope we can all do that soon =) with nicer weather and travel!

[@artbytaqwa]

Wow! Such pretty drawings!! Love them. So inspired to keep a sketchbook myself and actually complete it :D

[@tinyclover]

Yes! Thank you :) I never want to mess with loose paper and organizing those so I usually do sketchbooks. It’s so fun to find and buy all new kinds anyways 🙈

[@mehak3616]

Awnn that is very sweet. Thank you!

[@lindsayb2914]

Subscribed, so happy to see another writing around my age :) most people I see now are very young

[@tinyclover]

Pace of KZbin is definitely for the young hearted haha. I am not a content creator for that reason but here and there I will continue to make some uploads happen because it is fun =) So thanks for the follow!

[@ОксанаС-я2р]

Your art is amazing! 😍

[@tinyclover]

Thanks dear =3

[@pinkwithgray3082]

Just amazing

[@moonspiritartbycindyhill1084]

Love your paintings

[@tinyclover]

Thank you

[@AleksdeArt]

love it all!

[@montygemma]

I hope you make some money out of painting because you certainly have talent and the knack of working with that very tricky medium. One thing surprised me and that's how well the paper in those moleskin sketch books held up to it.

[@arundhatisarkarbose5317]

You are really good at your art

[@tinyclover]

Thanks =)

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

WOW! you have talent, thank you for sharing, your wonderful sketchbooks. =) Awe, sweet cat. =)

[@milenamarcocci6320]

You are amazing ❤❤❤❤bravissima

[@AveArtz]

Loved it

[@mohsend72]

I really like the style of the small paintings at 4:53, gives me older book illustration vibes. Does this kind of painting/illustration have a name I can look up?

[@moma-b]

I wish I could see all the paintings and not only a short glimps of some as you turn pages.

[@pebblesthecat3625]

I love the fact that they got the "Kitty seal of approval " by your beautiful little fur baby. I had to watch the video at half speed just so I could get a proper look at your artwork. There is an obvious and clear progression of style, colour choices, and accuracy of drawing and your art is great. Love the video, but please next time go a little slower to allow a proper view of your work 😊

[@tinyclover]

Thank you so much for the wonderful detailed comment ❤️ I shall do a slow version after accomplishing 10sketchbooks perhaps haha

[@keleniengaluafe2600]

❤❤❤❤

[@raheema4434]

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ What's the sketchbook you used

[@tinyclover]

Most of them were the 8x5 moleskine watercolour sketchbook:)

[@habboUdviseren]

When the first one better than your 1000th one

[@galaxypillar2815]

This inspired me

[@elbyrtob6877]

beautiful

[@tinyclover]

Thank you!

[@annabellschiechl7008]

Ohh she had my second Name , my Name is a double Name : Annabell Elaine. Your so sympathetic ❤

[@Jqsmin]

WOW AMAZINGGGGGGGGG OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[@tinyclover]

awnn THANK YOU!!

[@juliettka1991]

You're amazing. All youtube artists are just pure beginners compared to you

[@tinyclover]

Awnn that's too high of praise. Thank you! I am still learning too~

[@axari5630]

I love these!! you're so talented; and I'm envious of your skill :> can I ask what sketchbooks you used for all these? just not used to seeing watercolour (I assume that's the medium, apologies if it's wrong lol), on both sides of the paper without it wrinkling at all; so I was just wondering what sketchbooks they were incase I wanted to buy some myself :3

[@tinyclover]

Most of them are moleskin watercolour sketchbooks, they do wrinkle a bit but I just don’t do large washes, that helps.

[@axari5630]

@@tinyclover ty!

[@_earthvisitor333]

i wish you wouldn't flip so fast trough at the nude/ human sketches. they are amazing!!! go slowly next time please, or maybe extra video? :) great talent that u have. xo

[@sumaiyasiddiqasamia8009]

What kind of paint you use ?? And which sketch book

[@tinyclover]

Mostly Gouache or watercolour. I use moleskine a lot of time =)

[@december_2478]

If u wanted to finish ur goal u could have got three very small and sketch books with less pages...............

[@tinyclover]

It’s happening now… for my next goal 👀

[@kreativeReise]

Sadly you went over many interessting pages way too fast...

[@zoewhite7705]

Oh my god you talk so fast.
