Hi everyone, today I'm sharing with you my two days resting at home and creating an art journal page spread. I love sketching from real life observations using pen and watercolors, of my daily surroundings. Even at home, I'm able to find inspirations such as the views outside my windows. Please watch the video until the end for lots of tips on sketching!
🎨 Materials I used:
Sailor's fude fountain pen (Bamboo Green)
Noodler's Brown 41 Ink (to fill the fountain pen)
Mungyo watercolors
Fabriano Venezia Sketchbook
Holbein Water Brush (large tip)
Faber-Castell water brush

You draw better than anyone I've ever known and I'm 70 years old retired graphic artist/illustrator. I love how you go boldly with your strokes and everything looks so sweet, charming and perfect. You have such a good eye for design! I never tire of watching and listening to you. I'm your biggest fan!!! You are my biggest inspiration, btw.

@@BeckyCao In the 1970's you could have been Art director of any big-time agency in LA or NY. I was thinking of all the artists I've known over the years and can only think of 3 people that were excellent at drawing. It's one thing to trace and use that skill set and it's another to draw free hand! Thankfully I can draw, but you are so much better than I am! I love watching you draw and wanted you to know how talented you really are.. I hope I am not embarrassing you. You could easily illustrate award winning children's books!

Does Dudu mean something in Mandarin or Cantonese? Or is it just a cute sounding name you made up? Just curious. Have a beautiful day Becky. Stay warm. Ty🤍

Thank you! Dudu is a common nickname for pets and kids in China meaning 'cute and chubby". The sound is also the same as the lyrics in the song "Baby Shark" : doo doo doo doo, as Dudu looks like a little shark in his black and white fur. 😀

hi Becky, I hope Du Du cat is feeling better, your art journal id amazing and so helpful for beginners like me. What paper journal brand is this one? is it 140 lb. cotton? Feel better soon😊
@BeckyCao
@BeckyCao 8 күн бұрын
Thank you! This paper is actually mix media, Fabriano Venezia Drawing Book. It may be challenging for beginners to control the flow of watercolors on this paper, so I recommend starting with real watercolor paper first. Once you know the techniques better, you can try this sketchbook.

Glad to see dudu is feeling better after is terrible accident. I want to say I just loved the quick tour of your awesome sketchbook. I love your art so much. Do you ever do illustrations for children's books? I know that's kind of a tricky thing to do as sometimes illustrators can spend a lot of time and product and not get paid because the book doesn't do well in publication but you could write a kids book just about Dudu. 😊

Question: I don’t have a Viridian green, could sap green be used? Or Hookers green? Thanks for all your hard work, Becky! (P.s. thanks for drawing the jade plant - mine is a lot smaller, but now I can tackle it)

Hi Liz, yeah Hookers green or sap green are perfect substitutes for viridian green. Enjoy sketching your jade plant! ☺️

I see your links that you use the sailor feud calligraphy pen. When I look on Amazon, it says the ink is not color fast. How do you get your noodles colorfast ink into the pen? Is it a cartridge? Do you have to dip it every time you make a mark? Thank you I’d love to try this style.

Hi Becky, the new sketch book is bursting with colors, food and backgrounds full of interesting characters. I keep all my favorite tutorials of your work in my “Becky” folder for future reference but also when I am in pain I turn your paintings to “ play all “ mode and they bring me such comfort to watch you paint. Your bright personality and smile goes a long way. Thank you for your dedication to our world of budding artists, Lindsay.
