Realistic Watercolour Sketchbook Tour - Beginner's Progress months 4-6

[@susanH1986]

Love the jellyfish!❤

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you, they are brilliant creatures and lend themselves so well to watercolour!🪼😊

[@karenwo8781]

Thanks for this video. I like the timber of your voice, easy to listen to. I like your approach, the way you describe your work. I wouldn’t ordinarily listen to such a long video usually 20 minutes or less. But you explain things so well I was drawn to listen to all of it. Again, thank you for your work.

[@Myscribbletreehouse]

So lovely to see a sketchbook that resonates more with people like me who are still in an earlier stage of their art journey. Wonderful work!

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you so much! It’s so nice sharing our journeys as beginners and meeting others 🥰🫶

[@angelabyker1587]

Crystals. I love watching your art journey through your sketchbooks!

[@Carolyn750]

A beautiful sketchbook. Crystals.

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you, I’m so glad you liked it! It’s always such a relief when someone likes it and doesn’t find it really bad 😅💎🫶🥰

[@deborahtaylor8505]

Crystals - Thanks for sharing!!! I really LOVE your plants, flowers and cactus watercolors. They are especially beautiful!!!

[@cyberwymn]

Crystals! I suspect I will have dreams of watermelon planets tonight! I think your on to something! Lovely book! 🍉 💜

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Ahahah that sounds pretty fun actually, watermelon planet dreams! Thank you 🥰🫶

[@meikeontube3200]

cristals! Thank you so much for sharing your inspirations! I today leaned about the dot collections! This will help me so much in using my next favourite colors! You made my day! I have to check all the domestica courses you mentioned. Have a wonderful weekend!

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you, I’m so happy to hear that it was helpful for you! I look forward to seeing what you will think of my next sketchbook tour later this week where I tried all of the colours in sketches 😉💎🫶

[@NanaStillLearning]

Crystals………but a whole lot more. All those color test pages are so inspiring. Love it all….what a sketchbook treasure.

[@TheCherrypipangel]

I loved looking through your book. I found it so beautiful. But even more beautiful is that you and your partner are so in sync with each other that you balance each other out. So endearing so sweet

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you, that is so sweet! 🥰🫶❤️👩‍❤️‍👨

[@jlm517rocks]

your explanations are particularly helpful and astute, the colors fabulous and yr teachers would-be proud of yr progress.... this was a lesson altogether...fun & funny ('eggplant feathers' 😁, octopi on steroids, amazing cacti & wisteria)... somehow i've 'suddenly' aggregated enough tutorials (not specific long term courses) & experimenting to know (& not feel sooooo overwhelmed) what to practice, use as warmups (who knew, though ii do it daily to maintain muscle flexibility before pilates)...& to remember to not expect finished pieces, rather to enjoy the process. Look forward to the next installment.

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you so much! I had a laugh reading your comment, it was fun! I need to know what these finger warm up are, please share! 🥰🫶

[@jlm517rocks]

@TheCherrypipangel you are a delight...ii was referring to all yr brush stroke pages, probably the most clear verbal and visual explanation than any of the many, too fast /short you tube demos.... as for fingers (& footwork), Teresa tapp (now deceased) actually saved my joints (along with edgar cayce's castor oil pack recipe, joseph pilates reformer classes, & teresa's daily dry brushing sequence) through her T-Tapp workouts, which included a fingers/hand series that ii have been applying self to since 2004. Her many teachers still keep her legacy alive... ii had 3 serious slip-&-fall accidents over 20 years, all on the same side/location, & diligent DIY physical therapy, that included my art journey using non-dominant hand to teach/relearn the other side how to move has been my 'daily do' ... yep... warmups, like Celine dion's vocal arpeggios, my childhood piano teacher's scales, & even prayers on behalf of others... are (for me) what keeps childlike wonder & simplicity very basic, and allows for that timeless flow state where the art itself takes over, where colors & movement & joy & sound are seamless... kzbin.info/www/bejne/moKYmZeAmbtqh7Msi=l7uucb14nsw_QdBm

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and for linking the T Tapp video - this is such a valuable discovery! I’ve been giving it a try this morning and it feels like a really good deep mobilisation. It’s inspiring to hear what you’ve been through and how you have surmounted these difficult moments. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🥰🫶

[@wildflower1397]

Crystals. I loved the watermelon planets. :)

[@chrisgregore359]

Thank you for sharing your sketchbook ... so beautiful! 😍 Crystals!

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you so much!💎🫶🥰

[@zephyrayu1605]

Crystal！I really enjoyed watching it. Sometimes I think you are too hard on yourself. It is beautiful! I recently fell in love with Daniel smith too. I went and bought green gold and the Colors of inspiration set. I have been thinking to have a sketch book for my watercolour work but i really enjoy the better quality papers. Watching your video made me want to give it another try lol.

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and it’s true that’s easy to be hard on oneself! I agree that painting on the better papers is great but I have also found that using the slightly less impressive sketchbook paper has kept me on my toes and forced me to work harder… and then the more expensive paper really feels easy to work on after that 😉 There are also some very fancy watercolour sketchbooks with great watercolor paper - I recently invested in some Arches paper sketchbooks and the signature series sketchbooks from Etchr with Fabriano paper. You can find a video testing and reviewing all of these fancy sketchbooks on my channel actually - so if you are interested in having the same quality of paper you’re used to in your pads/blocks but in a book format, that might be for you… I also always love to travel everywhere with a sketchbook, that’s the major advantage and my sketchbook lives in my handbag 🤫 And now I will stop being carried away by my passion for discussing sketchbooks! 😂 Thanks for the comment and let me know if you give sketchbooks another try 🥰🫶💎

[@Gypsisoul1111]

You had me at Watermelon planets! love them, I really liked this sketchbook tour. I have learned so much just from your descriptions and now adding 2 new teachers to my list. I am looking forward to seeing the other sketchbooks.

[@TheCherrypipangel]

I'm so glad you liked them! And I love hearing that you found some of it useful! 🥰🫶🍉

[@colleenharkins2771]

Crystals! Such a lovely journey of color and magic. A lovely artist with buckets of talent. Thank you so much!

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you so much Colleen, you are way too generous ❤️🫶💎🍂🍁

[@MeiIkaruga]

You have such a lovely voice and I love seeing artwork that shows the learning process and personal growth in art practice. I might be biased, though, since I feel very much like I'm still in the beginner stages and need to do a lot more of the practices you've shown here in your sketchbook!

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you so much! And it’s lovely being beginners in a journey together, I’m so happy to meet others who are also learning 🥰🫶

Crystals - thank you for sharing your sketchbook. Very inspirational! I’m going to check out Inga’s Domestika course. I hope you’ll share more of your sketchbooks in the future!

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy Inga’s course, it was my favourite one - and I will definitely share more of my sketchbooks very soon 🥰🫶💎

[@purrcinn8]

This was a lovely video -- edifying & enjoyable. I've been a beginner for a couple of years and am blown away by your progress. Obviously you practice a lot more than I. Daniel Smith is my favorite brand, and I have the 238 dot card, but have yet to swatch them out. This has given me some ideas and impetus for doing that. After watching your watercolor book review video, I ordered Inga Buividavice's "Painting Calm" book and am eager for its arrival. Thank you for your videos. Crystals!

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you so much! I’m really glad to hear it was helpful, and I am sure you will love Inga’s book - I found it really inspiring. And have fun swatching all those Daniel Smith colours, let me know how it goes! 🥰🫶

[@lynnesanders8025]

Crystals. Thankyou for such an inspirational video. Loved your planets and cacti too. 😊

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you! 🥰🔮🫶

[@chichcowainui708]

Crystals. I enjoyed this video very much. You've given me ideas and inspiration for how I can do my own sketchbooks. The beautiful "waves" page (39:25) was a surprise, very different from the other pages, and something I'm going to try to replicate. But it was all lovely. I'll be looking forward very much to seeing your next sketchbook. Thank you!

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you, I’m so happy to hear you found it useful! I’m excited to hear you will be making your own version of the waves, how lovely! 🥰💎🫶

Lovely way to enjoy my Sunday morning coffee! I enjoyed it tremendously. The crystals and galaxy seem to me a fun way to experiment. Have purchased yet another sketchbook to try, and look forward to trying something new. Working on swatching all of my current paints in a Kolo sketchbook, not the 100% watercolour version. Thank you for any easy Sunday morning coffee!

[@TheCherrypipangel]

That sounds delightful! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🥰🫶

Thank you for sharing your journey from the beginning! The tips you mention are helpful for casual learners and I especially appreciated your exploration of different colors and how they behave on the paper

Thank you so much, I’m very glad you found it helpful! 💙🫶

[@sandrift]

Thank you for sharing your progress- right to the crystals at the end. It’s encouraging to see how much improvement can happen in a short time with practice.

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Thank you! And it’s so true that we don’t realize how fast we grow while we are trying - it’s only once the dust has settled and we look back that we see the progress and suddenly it feels fast 🥰💎🫶

Thanks for sharing your progress. I’m started painting with watercolors and gouache this Spring and summer. You’ve given me lots to consider as I practice in my sketchbooks. I like be painting galaxies with acrylics, but haven’t tried with watercolors yet. Today’s word crystals.

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Wonderful! It’s so exciting to hear that you have also started this journey in watercolor 🥰🫶

This was so fun, and I loved seeing the evolution. Thanks for inspiring me to to do more drills, and to do more swatching exercises 🫶 love from a fellow moonglow fan!

You are so welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed and thank you for letting me know! It’s so nice having “company” for doing drills and seeing others do them, I totally love watching others do this too. Ooooh and LOVE meeting another moonglow fan!!! 🌕🥰🫶💎

I also love the color of Mayan Blue Dark and had it in my palette to use as a Payne's Gray and struggled using it. I literally never ever used it. I recently took it out with great hesitation.

[@TheCherrypipangel]

This pigment is so frustrating right! Such a beautiful colour but so slimy to use! Let me know if you find a good use for it 😅💙🫶

[@jmhunt95]

Thanks for the comments about certain pigments being "greasy". I have noticed this with Mayan Blue DS, but it never registered that this was a quality of certain pigments. I don't enjoy the streekiness so I will try to stay away. crystals

[@TheCherrypipangel]

So glad you found this helpful! There are actually quite a few of the pigments that are streaky, and I dived deep into this in my latest video that I just posted - a tour of my Daniel Smith Madness sketchbook where I tested sketching with all 238 of the Daniel Smith watercolours from the dot cards. And some of the pigments are a disappointment, others a delight. And the video is finally up! Maybe there's a few more pigments that want to see close up 😊💎💙

Can you share a link to the dot card you bought? I could only find one with 66 colors and I'd love to try more!

Here is the dot card I used, and you can also find it directly from Daniel smith or many of the larger online art shops: www.amazon.com/DANIEL-SMITH-001900482-Watercolor-Color/dp/B00US4V6X8

[@mausi759]

Kannst du bei Gerstaeker bestellen? Dort gibt es auch Daniel Smith Aquarelfarben ☺️

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Yes nowadays I order mostly from Gerstaeker, although sometimes I need to order some items from other places like Peter’s art in Germany or Jackson’s in the UK 🫶

[@artemisceleste]

Crystals. Would you recommend Inge’s course for an absolute beginner?

[@TheCherrypipangel]

Inga’s course would work well for a beginner if you’ve at least already held a brush before and made some paint marks - for an absolute beginner having never touched watercolor, I’d recommend Laura McKendry’s course first as a playful intro, and then Inga’s second. Because Inga does go on to quite precise and relatively advanced techniques, it’s hard to fully benefit from it without some basic crash course first. But it’s definitely worth it and one of my favourite courses of all time 🥰

[@sellartscared]

Do you have a domestika referral link? Your tour made me want to take some classes.

[@TheCherrypipangel]

I wish I did! Sadly I don’t. But I’m glad it made you want to try some classes 😉
