9 ways to FILL your sketchbook

[@bycreativepaula]

If you have an art supply you haven’t used, and want ideas on how to use it; let me know! I would love to create ideas for you and your abandoned art supply! ❤ Even if it’s highlighters, I’m game! 😉

[@schragdenker5425]

What about oil pastel? 🙂

[@laurakobetich9809]

You already got me to dig out my art supplies and use them today. I didn’t realize how much I needed this creative time, so finding your channel was a real gift💓💓I have a ton of mixed media materials such and would love any ideas you have for integrating things like yarn, chenille stems, and cut out images to make unique art. Thank you!

[@bycreativepaula]

@@schragdenker5425 that’s a great idea! I think my kids might have some! 😊

[@bycreativepaula]

@@laurakobetich9809 thank you so much! I’m super grateful this inspired you ❤️❤️❤️ I will note mixed media for a video idea! Thanks!

[@christine21068]

Instead of a regular pencil, use a watercolor pencil, and blend in your lines when you use the watercolors!

[@Becky_One]

Just found you today! I’m 70 and only started painting in February. I love your work!

[@jeanetteanderson3912]

Hi I am 68 and just getting started myself.I have everything but afraid to start 😊. I guess I am afraid of failure.

[@jeanetteanderson3912]

I just found your channel today and I am 68 and just starting out. I think you are so creative I love this video and will be binge watching to get started ❤️🙏😍🇨🇦👍

[@BlessedForever888]

One of my favourite things about your channel is you show what the piece would look like as wall art. That is super unique and cool.

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much 😀 so happy you like that!

[@sheilasibo8323]

Loving your sketchbook ideas! Fantastic for beginners and anyone needing a kick start to get creating! MORE please!

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Your little town looks like it is having a fireworks show!! 🎆 The pages that you painted over the thumbnail picture and did the reverse coloring on the flowers is stunning!! 🌟 So colorful! 🌈 The leaves pages are calming! 🍃 I know I'm odd, but I liked your taped page, especially after you added the bubbles and lines! 😍 I'm glad you were able to find therapy with it! 🥰 Your intertwined lines are very freeing! 🤗

[@bycreativepaula]

Hey Karen! Thank you so much! I actually like the tape page now that it has the lines on top! I have a hard time not tearing up pages but I’m glad I didn’t!

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

@@bycreativepaula You're quite welcome!! 🤗😍 Impulse can be hard to control, but you won this time, and you created something you like!! 👏👏 Win, win!! 🏆

[@1c0c8]

oooo, fireworks show, I wonder how it would look with those dots being a variety of colors. I might try that.

[@trish-u9f]

The page that you thought was ugly, I loved it and thought is was beautiful. I gasped when you started drawing the scribble lines. I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Love your videos.

[@bycreativepaula]

Awww I’m sorry! 🫣 but thank you so much at the same time!!! 🫣

[@R.Oates7902]

Same here!

[@hawes-wintersart]

That's what I thought too.

[@cherylmerkel9243]

I loved it-- felt horrible when you started adding those scribbles--!

[@danasylvesterhultz6640]

I loved the scribbles! I've had the same tantrums!!

[@ThePreppingArtists]

That flower one is cool it’s almost like a reverse coloring book!!!

[@bycreativepaula]

Exactly!!! ❤️thank you!

[@TheTerrylwg]

This is definitely one of my very favorite videos for inspiration; I hope you'll do many more of these!

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you! Will do!

[@sherrycartwright6128]

Thanks! Just discovered your channel! I’m a flight attendant and definitely need something like this for stress relief! 😂Thank for your ideas!

[@bycreativepaula]

Hi Sherry!!! Thank you so much! ❤️ I’m so happy these will be good for you! More coming soon!

[@GingerAnderson-zo5wp]

Not all art is drawing with a pencil. I've thought of this so often but didn't know how to create these visions in my mind on paper. You have showed me how to work with watercolors and markers to make what I see in my mind and I'm just beside myself. I need a watercolor palette like yours, couple brushes, and a sketchbook. I can't wait to see what I can put down on paper. I have the feeling that I will fill a lot of sketchbook before I run out of ideas and time. I'm 80 and so glad I clicked in your channel. My heart was hunting for a way and you showed it to me. This is absolutely magic!

[@bycreativepaula]

Hi!!! I’m so happy and grateful you clicked too!!! Thank you so much! I’m sure you’ll have a blast and absolutely positive you won’t run out of ideas!!! ❤️ you are magic! ✨

[@aysiababyyy3664]

Have you created anything?

[@lisagiuliani8167]

I love all your ideas...they are so helpful when you have artist block! 😊

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much! Yessss! They are perfect for that and then other things will come!

[@DB_in_AZ]

These ideas are so wonderful. I’ve now got 7 pages in my journal from your satisfying 7 ideas. The very first one I did bled through 😂 and I thought about tearing out the page, but instead I drew circles all over it and it actually turned out awesome with the bleed through! Your ideas are simple to do yet elegant and beautiful. I’m so grateful to you and the other artist I follow on KZbin. I’m grateful that both of you are sharing your art and giving ideas and lessons. It may not seem like a big deal, but you have no idea how life changing this can be for someone who suffers from anxiety so crippling that I’m afraid to even start. Sometimes all we need is just a little push. I’m very excited to start these 9 new ideas. Thx again

[@bycreativepaula]

Wow thank you so much for sharing this with me! In so happy you are enjoying it and overcoming some fears! ❤️ thanks!

[@jackielubeck5277]

Hi Paula - yes, I see finally how you do the hearts and leaves. Love all the other exercises here. So much fun. Jackie

[@bycreativepaula]

So glad! Thank you so much!

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. Early this year, not knowing what to do with myself, I got the idea to learned how to watercolor. I bought some how-to books, pattern books for painting in, sketchbooks, sketchpads, paints, brushes, WC paper, etc. I was really looking forward to giving it a try. However, I ended up needing to put everything aside. I was feeling overwhelmed by so much going on in my life as a result of losing my husband in Sept 2023. As I'm getting close to completing the installation of my large greenhouse and garden on my 1 acre property, I'm thinking about what I'll do when the snow begins to fall again. In addition to learning to embroider recently, I'm looking forward to getting back to my water coloring desire and to trying some of the techniques you demonstrated in this video. As a nature and gardening lover, my favorite is the 2 leaf page spread. But I also REALLY like the loose, watery flowers you zentangled over. I too wasn't crazy about the page you "hated", but I love how you turned your attitude around about it and used another technique I've wanted to try, the neurographic doodling technique. You did a great job with this video and I look forward to returning to it when I have my sketchpad and paints in front of me once the snow falls this fall & winter. Thanks for the great demo!

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much Michelle! ❤️ I’m glad you have so many beautiful things to try after your loss, I know they can’t possibly replace your partner but I’m sure they will help a lot: sending big hugs. You’ll have so much inspiration from everything in your green house I’m sure you’ll really love water coloring through the winter ❤️

[@suzettedorning9113]

I just found you a few days ago... and I AM HOOKED on your channel!! I have been an artist since I was a little kid - like, I was illustrating what I heard around me before I could write. I had gotten away from it for awhile because of shoulder and hand pain, but it is now therapy for me: mentally and physically. Your artwork has inspired me to try new things in a sketchbook - and be much more free in my work. I'm almost 60, so an old dog CAN learn new tricks! I absolutely LOVED when you were just painting with the music playing. I could listen and watch that for an hour (or two!). THANK YOU!! Thank you for sharing your art with the world and reintroducing me to my first passion!

[@bycreativepaula]

Oh wow Suzette!!! ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so so much! I’m so happy to have you here, welcome! It honors me and makes me really happy that you have felt inspired and came back to your passion and joy! Thank you so much for sharing this with me ❤️

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

💖Love the Curvy lines and the negative painting. These are all really great ideas. I love this type of video. 😃👍 I love each page, your paintings, and the mock ups, and the "Maze page" that you hated was beautiful, in my opinion. and the neurographic-art is cool. 😃👍

[@bycreativepaula]

Hey Phoebe! Thank you so much! I’m happy making these too!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

👋🏻😃 hi Paula. 😊 you're welcome. I'm glad you enjoy making these videos. 😊👍🏼

[@RB-jv3du]

The one you hated is the one I loved the most. Your line colors were beautiful as were the blurry circles! Very creative ! Thank you for sharing your talent!

[@denisefrawley6734]

I think my favourite is the abstract landscape. I love red! Such great ideas to try.

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much!!! ❤️ I love painting landscapes ☺️

[@angelinamichelle8474]

I really enjoyed this. Thankyou

[@bycreativepaula]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you!

[@jenshark4]

I love that you are honest about your “tantrums” because as a perfectionist art has always been hard for me. It’s nice to see that other artists have problems with their work and find ways to get around it. I also love that you are doing this for fun and to explore. That’s a place where all art should come from.

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much! I’m so happy my sharing is relatable ❤️

[@tracirush3217]

Your negative painting has so much depth- it looks so dimensional! Beautiful 😍

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@manondesrochers8989]

I was so sad that you destroyed the line artwork, I thought it was beautiful. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love the colors & the round circle.

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much! I think it was more about not being what I expected and me having an artistic tantrum 🫣

[@DrTarrandProfessorFether]

I understand. Sometimes it’s best to walk away from a piece I’m not happy with. Like the previous commenter, I liked the maze one!

[@bycreativepaula]

@@DrTarrandProfessorFether that is true! Space makes things better! I just need to handle my artistic tantrums better 🫣

[@calico27]

I loved the maze. I liked the colors, I liked how the maze was only part of the page. It is true, beauty does lie in the eyes of the beholder.

[@ZainaDancer]

Not only do I love your ideas for sketchbooks, but I also absolutely adore how you show them as a mock-up for a larger painting or print! I'm going to go through all my stuff and sort of try that see what they would look like. Thanks for the great ideas all around. 💜💜💜

[@bycreativepaula]

Oh how fun! ❤️ you are welcome! 😊

[@rynhart4174]

I watched your other sketchbook video too and it did inspire me. I allowed my mother to destroy my love of drawing and painting because everything I did was met with why no one else would like it. I’ve been trying to find that joy again and your videos have helped me do exactly that. So, thank you.

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much for sharing with me! I’m so grateful I have inspired you to create again for yourself! ❤️❤️❤️ lots of love!

[@carolarmour375]

You are an artist! Keep playing!

[@maysunday5077]

Hello! I came across this your videos on sketchbook ideas and enjoy them. Negative painting is hard for me but I will try following yours slowly and see if practice improves this skill for me. Personally I thought the maze page was great even before you added the wavy lines. Thanks so much for the inspiration!❤

[@bycreativepaula]

I’m sure you’ll get beautiful results! ❤️ thank you!

[@dawnanarumo3952]

I love your explanation of tantrums. I scrap ALOT . Thank you for reminding us all why we even make art at all. To play and have fun because we love it.

[@frog1133]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I reiterate many of the comments I read: your relaxed, free-flowing style, your easy to listen to tutorial, how simple you make it look. Your work is beautiful, especially in giant size on the walls. I ordered some of your suggested supplies which will arrive Monday. I can't wait for my foray into watercolors! I was disappointed I couldn't find Jane Davenport's paints that I could afford. I hope to see more of your videos in the future. I love the format of doing several different paintings in your sketchbook in one video. :😊

It was just a matter of getting started! Thank you.

Hello again. I just found you tonight (as I mentioned in the previous video I watched), but forgot to comment on what an amazing difference it makes when you have your sketch book art blown up and displayed on a wall...WOW!!! Also, thank you so much for sharing your art supplies. I'm quite new to watercolour and alcohol markers, and have found it to be a little confusing just what to invest in. I'm grateful for the help.

[@bycreativepaula]

Paula, I love all the sketchbook ideas! Another video idea for our sketchbook that would be helpful for me, and hopefully for many of your followers would be ideas to do while traveling. Whether it's a road trip or a plane ride, having creative options with fewer art supplies, is helpful creatively but also for those who need the distraction for traveling anxieties. Some pages could be partially prepped, or doing some of the prep work when we get home? Anyway, thanks for listening, can't wait to see more sketchbook ideas!

[@bycreativepaula]

I absolutely love that! ❤️I have been able to create with very little supplies on the go so I’m going to add this extraordinary idea to my list!!! Thank you so much!!! 🙌🏻

Just found your work and loved it all. I’m going to try and blend your ideas in with my embroidery….. of course not line for line but in a creative way……. the lovely green leaves for example, how stunning that would look in fine, long and short stitch…. thread painted . Then there’s always filler stitches to colour the leaves , and the houses…… so many ideas. Something different to INSPIRE…….. INSPIRATION IS THE KEY, when you come across something different it definitely gets your creative juices flowing. Thankyou for sharing your wonderful work.

So happy I stumbled across your channel! I have wanted to paint with watercolors forever and ended up quitting after several failed attempts and instructional videos that didn’t give some specific enough directions. You and your channel re-ignited my desire to paint, and your flowers picture from this video absolutely freed me. I’ve thought about taking a painting in other directions but was never happy with the direction I went 🙄. Your technique and suggestions have fixed that and I cannot wait to paint something else. Thank you SO much!!

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much Natalie! Welcome so happy to have you here! I’m so honored my channel has inspired you to create again! I feel so much of what we see out there stops us from creating because we think we need a style to be recognized by, or like you mentioned; one direction… and I feel we should be able to create for pure joy, on a whim, without direction! I truly hope you painted something and that it felt great! ❤️

[@CarolMcCluskey]

I really admire your work - it's very creative and expressive. I love the way you let the work grow into itself. I'm yet another retiree who took up watercolor to try my hand at art again, after an early attempt at oil painting when I was 19. I did one really nice self-portrait, and then never did anything else. Life got too busy. Now I just noodle around but it's starting to look like art. I'm going to follow your channel because you,ve inspired me not to be too hesitant. I've also made a note to purchase some of the items you used. BTW, I really liked your "rejected child", especially when I tilted my head and looked at it in landscape orientation. No accounting for taste, I guess. Carol in Boston.

❤ Thank you for the inspiration of each theme in this video. What I love about this and the 7 ways video is how easy they are and how colorful they can be. Even in muted colors, these turn out beautifully. My sketchbook is filling up! 🥰

[@bycreativepaula]

You are so welcome!❤️ so happy that sketchbook of yours is getting busy! 😊

Love these ideas. I have a hard time just starting anything. I'm glad that you included the one that you didn't like and how you felt about it. It helps to see others having the same issues and suggestions to help get through it.❤
