I didn't catch what you said near the end, about" how the painting would be good as a" -------cover? What cover? A Journal? Yep, it's perfect for that! Had a great time watching and listening and giggling at some things you say--"Oh, it doesn't matter," "Nope, Can't do that" and the lambs were either hungry or wanting your attention. Little baby faces--aaawww. Quite a circus out there--hahaha. So cute.

Hi Diane...another lovely "wallpaper design". The white gel pen adds so much. I like when you add pazzaz with your dip pen and ink, too. A glue book IS basically a scrapbook, just a newer name that caught on. Like "junk journal". I made journals for three straight years. I call them "theme" journals, i.e., botanical or vintage, etc. There are so many digitals on etsy, with a theme I like; that gets the juices flowing. I don't use junk mail. I was spending all my time gessoing everything. I'm so happy you have started making journals, they are so rewarding. You make something beautiful, then you get to go back in it and play some more! Yours are very nice. Hope you share more. Cas

Another wonderful surprise in the end, these beautiful flowers!!! Things like this really help with my painting skills and I thank you so much for being the amazing teacher that you are. I’ve painted right along with you (of course pausing involved) and mine turned out pretty good 😊 I wondered the same thing you did about the glue books. The only difference I can tell is a junk journal really doesn’t involve painting (which I do though in mine) a art journal, well that’s where our artwork is involved maybe no embellishments) now a glue book as far as I can tell it’s strictly just glueing pictures, embellishing and what….no painting, not much art at all but there are some glue books I’ve seen On here that are beautiful!!! So many books in this crafting world nowadays. When I was young paper dolls was about it for me. I also remember junk and art journals were another form of what I’d call scrap booking up scaled….anyway, just my take on it all. Again thanks for the wonderful video it was so much fun 😊💜🎨

Hi Tamy thanks so much for your interesting comments. I couldn't agree more! I had those paper dolls with their dresses too, loved them! Books were so precious to me when I was a child, we literally only possessed three books in our house (apart from my own books which came from my monthly book club) - they were "How to Make Friends and Iinfluence People", "Peyton Place" and the bible! So the library was my best friend after I'd read those! Later I had scrapbooks but I used it to put photos of my kids in - no digital records in those days!

A junk journal to me... the pages are make up of things you receive in the mail... advertisements .. envelopes, things that would normally get thrown away.. You bind those together and thats what you create on.. A glue books consists almost solely of collage... Some people just really enjoy cutting out images and gluing them down.. they might add some embellishments but really its just cut out/glue and stick.. Now that i think about it.. i think mine is a hybrid of them all.. lol I use a book that was destined to be thrown away.. tear out a few pages to make room for what i add... glue some pages together to make them sturdier.. I make pockets and windows and whatever comes to mind.. I use stencils, stamps , ink, paint for the backgrounds, then cutout magazine images for the main features.. Then i embellish it within an inch of its life.. because i can..lol glitter, magazine images are wonderful to paint over.. (for example a red dress becomes blue with a pattern.. (acrylic paint) etc.. I use Glossy Accents to make some things super shiney and stand out while keeping some things matte.. My Bee Book i've been putting 'be' words.. Be Kind... Be Creative.. etc.. Great fun..

Hi Debra, I would suggest you start with one of these. First, a Winsor and Newton Cotman quality paints. $37 for a dozen colors including all the ones you must have plus a couple of extras. I suggest tubes here, but pans are available too in the same brand. Really good value. amzn.to/3DqsWKk Alternatively I could recommend this set by Grumbacher amzn.to/3DsEHQg which is also very good for your needs. Either of these sets will enable you to paint anything you want. Hope this helps! (PS don't forget a couple of GOOD brushes and some 140lb cold press watercolor paper, maybe by Strathmore or Bee.)

Thanks so much I'm going to order the book! I just received my order for the poetique pens, I got the 48 set and I love them, haven't actually used them yet, just a bit of swatching .

I love your paintings. I’m new to watercolor and have been practicing for 9 months. You mentioned something about draw well Japanese brushes. What’s the exact name and how do I find them?

Hi Betty and welcome to the world of watercolor! Here’s the info you need: Drawell brushes. I get the brushes which are made by this manufacturer, "Drawell" brushes in Japan. They are very inexpensive, and if you order several the postage isn't too bad, they still work out at a good price. The ones I use are Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. I also use the Maestro ones, Series 778, and I have sizes 3, 5 and 7 for more detailed work as they have a good point, and larger ones for more general work. I do recommend them. Here's the website. www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html The owner is a very friendly and polite Japanese gentleman. If you email him he will send you a pricelist in dollars.

Greetings Diane from the hot and dry country side of upstate NY. I just found your channel . Sent 4 quilts to be completed and wanted a change so I took out my watercolors , brushes and paper for a m I d summer diversion. I am a new sub. One question do you wet your paper? Thanks

Hi Beverly and welcome to the channel! So glad you have found us! Regarding wetting paper, it does depend on what I’m painting. For small paintings no, generally I don’t wet the paper although I might wet small areas of it. If I’m doing a bigger painting I might use a lot of water. It just depends! Anyway have fun with our videos! And thanks for joining us x
