Art Studio Chat | Testing New Watercolours and 100 Day Project Planning

This is a bit of a chatty video where I talk about a few things, I have a small art supplies haul where I get a new order of watercolour paints and test them out, swatching them first, then creating a pattern page in my new handmade sketchbook. I talk a bit about the 100 days project I'm taking part in and my plans for that, plus I share the bespoke handmade sketchbooks I've been designing and testing.
(Painting starts at 17 mins if you want to skip the chat!!)

Loving all your videos Lou. I am working my way through them and watching them instead of tv 😂 as I am learning so much from you. I am a beginner. Thank you so much. Mandy x

Wonderful! So glad you're enjoying them - happy painting!

This is lovely..oh those colors💥

[@LouDavis]

I've used them so much now I've bought replacements!

[@KittehNow]

@@LouDavis I'm going to use this beautiful color combo a lot, now that I've seen how brilliantly it works.

[@eileengavinlarsen4509]

Thank you - I did this project and really enjoyed it.

I’m looking forward to your white pen experiment. I’ve been on the hunt for the best to use on my watercolors as well!

[@louisejffisher4630]

Very interesting

[@magnoliabird]

I’d love you to have tried Jane Davenport’s white pen set. She also does black ones and line ones which go over everything you might find useful 💕

Nice video. What brand of metallic palette are you using?

[@LouDavis]

Thank you :) it’s the Kuretake Gansai Tambi palette.

[@robynfraser8085]

Ooh. I would love a square, evenly spaced sketchbook for watercolour. Will they be for sale in your Etsy shop? I’m in Australia ~ will you ship internationally?

[@LouDavis]

Sorry - I made this video a long time ago and have since stopped selling these sketchbooks!

[@robynfraser8085]

@@LouDavis thanks for replying. I’m sorry to hear that. Oh well, I’ll continue the search.

[@awatercolourist]

Hi Lou! Thanks for this video! May I ask, where did you get the gold spiral binding from? Is it made of brass? Thanks.

[@LouDavis]

Thanks! The spiral binding is by Renz, the bronze colour. It comes in different gauges, make sure to buy the right one for your machine!

[@awatercolourist]

@@LouDavis Thanks! That’s so useful. And happy new year 🎉

[@betsyulbrich7362]

Are your sketchbooks going to be available for purchase?

[@LouDavis]

They were but they didn’t sell well sadly!
