Drawing in a super tiny handmade sketchbook... (part 3)

I love that you mentioned having grace with yourself. I feel like we strive to show grace towards others, but towards ourselves is always the hardest (and could be arguably the most important). Thanks for the much-needed reminder!

more tiny goodness!! Love the new pins, I like the leaf best but that's my fave color so....

My daughter is five years old and decided to draw along with you. She was really inspired by your daisy and drew her own version of some daisies.

[@CreatingCuteArt]

This is so sweet!

Mira, you have a habit of posting on some of the worst days of my life and making them better. I’m so thankful for you!!

I love this tiny sketch book so much and I love you so much and I actually started doing painting

[@MiraByler]

Ahh so glad you started painting!

[@sheesumer8737]

@@MiraByler thanks mira

[@LeanneRaine]

Aww! So bittersweet we're halfway through the tiny sketchbook. There are so many good memories of watching this book come together. Daisy is also one of my favorite characters because she's so down to earth. I would totally watch a series about the children all grown up too. I think a bigger painting of a moth in the same style you did in this sketchbook would be so fun to watch! Thank you so much for this video and I hope things with settling into your new home go as smooth as possible.

[@MiraByler]

Thanks Leanne!! 💜

I was lucky enough to get the full 120 set of Arteza coloured pencils from my bestie for my birthday and I absolutely love them. Prismacolor Premiers are my favourite pencils, but they are very expensive and also because they are so buttery soft and waxy they need sharpening so often that some of my babies are now teeny tiny! The Arteza ones are like the blendiness of my Prismas but not quite as soft so they hold their point a lot longer which is fantastic! Arteza replied to a comment I sent and said that they were going to make their pencils available as singles so that we don't have to buy a whole new set just because your favourite colour becomes too small to use even with an extender. Hopefully that will be fairly soon. I also have the Himi gouache set (the middle sized one, 24 colours I think or thereabouts) that comes with an extra palette and 3 or 4 brushes that all match the colour of the set (I got that gorgeous mint green one). I love those too as they are a lot easier to use because you don't need to get out a giant palette and lay out a bunch of colours etc. You can just open the lid and off you go. The one tiny complaint I have is that there was only one white and they don't sell the jelly pots separately so I am having to buy a tube of white gouache to refill it and hope that the consistency isn't too different. You had a smaller set before the big mac daddy set you have here right? Did you ever have to refill any of the pots?

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

I love tiny sketchbooks. I find them really challenging to fill, but that's part of the fun! 😁 The new pins are gorgeous, particularly the Mocha one. 😊

[@amichellep82]

It’s so relaxing to watch you paint. Both my grandmothers were amazing painters. I can’t even draw a stick figure. But they were raised in the era where women stayed home and needed hobbies to pass the time. I just work. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

[@liesbethartlife]

Always the best part of a Tuesday … Mira time :) I love this series, tiny sketchbooks would be a very hard challenge for me. Hihi OMG I just donated my (the same set) arteza pencils, haven’t used them for months. Have a nice evening

[@MiraByler]

So glad you're enjoying this series!! I hope you're having a good day!

[@valasafantastic1055]

I was painting a stone bridge over a river with some background plants in gouache and a sunny sky; as I watched this. I have been mixing custom gouache in half pans and other old pallets using both my himi gouache and my M.graham titianium white with my various watercolour paints, and then having many already mixed colours I simply wet them a bit before and paint. It's been way more inspiring, easy and fast for me since I have been doing this and laying them all out in tins and pallets along with watercolours to make mixed media art. I highly recommend keeping track of and labeling/naming the mixes and writing in a book the 'recepie' for the mix (approx) and continuing to mix more custom gouache and watercolours It really can speed up the actual paintings (at least for the way I prefer to paint) You can also make custom limited pallets with these already mixed colours and easily keep them unified and on theme by referring to the book. I also swatch them out on papers cut to the shape of the pallet they are in so I have a quick look at what the dried colour looks like if there may be a drying shift. Or to help with watercolours that look dark and dense in the pan vs painted, etc. I've been working at least twice as fast and painting double the art as a result! Since I got most of this done. i also did tons of practice and research and went after more watercolour tubes that are great for mixing other colours and been mixing my own! The time spent pre-mixing is totally worth it! Then you look at the collection and swatches and 'find the gaps' What colours in watercolour and gouache am I missing. Faster to grab a very similar mix and another mix to make a new mix AS you paint as an additional note. I think I should make a KZbin video on this actually.... Or a series....

Hey Mira! I’ve been painting wooden ikea hands. I created one recently for a friend and it’s just the most unique thing to see displayed amongst house plants and other artwork. Love your videos!

[@Septobee]

[@madmissemily7090]

Your videos are so inspiring! I have been bingeing your videos just enjoying the variety of art you do. In NSW Australia, we have been in lockdown and so I have been really focusing on art as a coping strategy and getting inspo from your videos, and I have sold 4 paintings, which I am really proud of! Art really is so good for the soul and its such a wonderful feeling when people like my art enough to put on their walls. Thank you for being YOU!

Lovely video and painting session Miranda! I saw a comment that mentioned Beaker from the muppet show for bubble-fly sounds, I like that idea but I also saw wind chimes too! That is a wonderful idea as well! Good luck with the pins I believe that they will keep selling as long as they are in stock! I hope you check out wooden pins too! I believe that they are right up your style alley! Thank you for sharing this tiny sketchbook session with us! You take care and be safe! See ya next time!

[@ruthalaina4837]

All here for the series! 🙌🏻 but I really want to see you customize some good old Starbucks cups 😩

[@norotic]

I feel like blubbleflies would have very harmonious voices that depend on their facial expressions. Ones that look angry or scared would be bass, sad maybe baritone, happy would be soprano, etc., and their noises would be in different pitches. Maybe the happier they are, the higher their voice gets and their voices are more "La, la, la," and when they are upset the kind of sing "Do, do, do" in lower tones. It would also be interesting to see what causes the different emotions from the blubbleflies - so what makes them happy, scared, angry, etc. On another note completely, if you were to do stickers for bullet-journaling (or just journaling), I think they would be cute little stickers as mascots. I could personally see myself using angry, sleepy, or grumpy ones on Mondays drinking coffee. (Not sure how they'd drink it as they have no arms, maybe long straws, or even their tongues are expandable like Elastigirl from The Incredibles?)

[@kaytiej8311]

Oh the freedom of your comment - Art doesn't need to be perfect. It was a brilliant flash of truth that has changed my perspective. And so applicable to many aspects of my life - ...x... doesn't need to be perfect... Just have fun and try; that's all that is necessary. Thank you!

Very cool! How do you keep your gouache from drying and cracking? I have the smaller set and it dried as hard as a rock.

[@mjpete27]

If you have a spray bottle fill it with distilled water and spray the paints and cover them back up! I use distilled water to avoid mold from well water that is not known for its sterile properties! It works with regular gouache too!

[@Noniof3]

@@mjpete27 thanks for your reply. I’ve tried that with poor results. I sprayed the paint, let it sit, tried to stir and they just didn’t liquify much at all. I think one problem I have is the lid doesn’t fasten on tightly.

[@mjpete27]

@@Noniof3 I have had trouble with the cheaper brands of gouache in the past, I just keep wetting and depending on how much they dried out will show how much re-wetting they will require. You can try covering them with plastic wrap after spraying to help keep the moisture in. Good Luck!
