Paint with me! Finding connection in my sketchbook ✏️

[@kathymckinstry1649]

Hi Katie, I am like you in the respect of looking around and noticing the little things. I’ve always been that way…… the difference between us is you know how to artistically capture their beauty on paper. ❤

[@KatieMoody]

It's amazing what we can find isn't it! I've always loved noticing little things in nature so it feels really natural to now put it into my sketchbook 🥰

[@jaclynbaerart]

Wow wow wow! I love this Katie! I love taking notice of the flowers (and weeds!) around me on my walks and hikes, spring is finally starting here in Colorado, USA and I've been taking photos of every flower i see to create back in my studio. Love this idea! Thank you!

[@KatieMoody]

Thank you so much, Jaclyn! It's so nice to see pops of colour around us, isn't it 🥰 I love seeing signs of Spring!

[@EmmaDurrans]

Loved watching you paint both of these. I especially love the cow. You’ve come a long way since drawing cows that looked a lot more like sheep 😂 I really enjoy seeing your journaling alongside your paintings too. X

[@KatieMoody]

Haha thanks Emma 😅🐄 Feeling much more confident with them now!

[@rakakulu]

Lucia did the same thing for me 😊 Her workshops are the reason I started using sketchbooks. I love how you incorporate her influence in your work and style ❤

[@KatieMoody]

Oh that is so lovely, Vesna! And your sketchbooks are so beautiful, I find a lot of inspiration from your spreads 💜

[@rakakulu]

@@KatieMoody that is so nice to hear. Thank you Katie ☺️❤️

[@ViviGonzalezArt]

Beautiful work Katie! Loved seeing your process! ❤️☺️

[@KatieMoody]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@staciemartinez]

This was a lovely video Katie, I enjoyed watching you paint and hearing your thoughts about adding journal notes to your spreads.

[@KatieMoody]

Thanks so much Stacie, I appreciate your kind words 🥰

[@kristin.1124]

I really liked the wildflowers from the first sketchbook & also the daysies from the second one 😊 Can't wait for this November's patreon Theme 😁

[@KatieMoody]

Thanks so much Kristin, flowers used to be a quite daunting subject for me but I've been trying to practise, and this month is really going to help! 😄💜

[@kristin.1124]

@@KatieMoody Yes, I think so, too & hope that they aren't as daunting as they used to be 😉💪

[@jennifernichols8403]

Love these pages and, yes, the Cow😊

[@KatieMoody]

Hehe I am still so proud of that cow! Thank you for watching 🥰

[@sincerelyceline]

I really love this! I've been taking lots of reference pictures from around me as well, and I love how I look through ny sketchbook and I'm taken back, like it's a time machine🤩

[@KatieMoody]

Thank you so much! Yes I totally agree! I find I remember the day better and my memories are stronger when I draw the places I've been 🥰

[@puppydood]

The cow is awesome. ❤

[@KatieMoody]

Thank you so much! I loved how he turned out 😄🐮

[@imlostnblue]

Love these spreads and this style of sketchbook!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@KatieMoody]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊

[@rosiemasonpaints]

Thank you Katie, love these sketchbook spreads and hearing you talk about them, very inspiring!

[@KatieMoody]

Aw thank you so much Rosie! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@emmaneary6120]

I love these style spreads. I'd love to do things like this but I think I need to start getting out more so I have things I can actually sketch and journal about 😅. I've always found wordy things really difficult too so I'm looking forward to the zoom session about it.

[@KatieMoody]

Thanks Emma 😊 The wordy side of it definitely gets easier with practise! I always start with not knowing what to write and then I can't stop 🤣

[@ChantelleArts]

these are beautiful spreads 😍 I love the combination of words, pencil drawings and paint!

[@KatieMoody]

Thank you so much! It feels like a new 'phase' of my artwork which is exciting and just feels right 😊🧡

[@jayneterry8701]

Looking around you at your surroundings is the artist to a t. 💗

[@KatieMoody]

[@Misstefi]

Hello Katie! I love seeing how you paint and do your sketchbook, it makes me want to paint again, it's inspiring.

[@KatieMoody]

Aw thank you so much! The best compliment I could ask for, I'm so glad I could encourage and inspire you to create 🥰

[@annikaroliart]

I love the dandelion😍 dandelion jam is one of my favorite jams. Really recomment trying it someday🥰

[@KatieMoody]

Oh wow, I've never heard of dandelion jam - that sounds amazing! 😍

[@annikaroliart]

@@KatieMoody it taste little bit like honey☺️

[@bethmegansmith4642]

Love your Sketch book .I understand your thoughts .Like to copy from my Pokemon Book I am still learning too.... from Luna Mayo books ...Happy times xxx

[@KatieMoody]

Thank you so much 🥰 That is a really great idea 💛

[@ArtBrain]

Your spreads are lovely. I was wondering what color is that Caran d'Ache grey you use at the beginning of your videos. It's so pretty... Thanks.

[@KatieMoody]

Thank you! 😊 Can you clarify which grey you mean?

[@Skinnychelle48]

Is Royal Talens your favorite brand of sketchbook?

[@KatieMoody]

It is! I reach for the Royal Talens sketchbook 90% of the time 😊

[@fuzzydragons]

if we actually did look around us more, especially looking up we would find so much to inspire us. we tend not to look up when walking around and miss out on a lot of things around us😀

[@KatieMoody]

100%! That is so true, I have a habit of always looking down but you're totally right! It's amazing how much we can miss
