Sketchbook Painting: A floral and garden spread

[@CecileYadro]

I love how the abstract side is responding to the floral side with matching colors.

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

yes, I like doing that in my sketchbooks :)

❤ hello! Suzanne, Absolutely gorgeous, just love watching your painting skills with such ease, I certainly want to be more free with my painting I have been too tight with the projects I have done. I noticed you using a small pink bottle with a needle type marker and just wondering what you would call that and where I could pick one up from. Thank you for sharing these tutorials……so enjoy it. Cheers. Sylvia. ❤

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

You are so welcome! I bought those needle tip bottles from Amazon, they make a very thin line and are fun!

[@asyasheley]

Wow such an amazing spread 😍😍

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Thanks very much!

Hey Suzanne! I was wondering what tool you’re using in 14:26 of the video, looks like a white paint pen of some sort? And also, just wanted to be sure the other tools I saw were oil pastels? Didn’t know they layer well over acrylic. Thank you!

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Hello, yes - oil pastels do well over acrylic but not the other way around! I usually use Posca paint markers: amzn.to/390VXR3

Hi Suzanne! (my daughter's middle name btw, beautiful!) I'm wondering what paints you're using? And are the bottles with the pointy tips the bottles the paint comes in? Or are they separate bottles you buy to put diluted paints or gesso mixed paints in from the original tubes or bottles? You have such a cool technique to just put down the smallest amount of paint to mix it so it's not wasted drying out in globs on a palette? Did that even make sense? I love your sketchbook paintings! I have the same red Moleskine that size and I LOVE it. I just finished it finally. I have moved on to Stillman and Birn (Epsilon is my favorite but mostly for drawing, they have incredible mixed media ones, so many types and the paper is amazing!) But I do love my Moleskine. Thanks for sharing your work!

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

I'm using acryl gouache mostly, Turner and Holbein. Thanks for your feedback and for watching my videos!

[@AiPhuong303]

Hello Suzanne. I bought your course and I am trying to buy the sketchbook by strathmoore? Will you send me the link?

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Here are all my supply links: suzanneallard.com/supplies

[@creativesnippets8627]

Do you seal the art? How do the pages not stick to each other?

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

If needed, I spray with workable fixative by Krylon

[@lisaturner2041]

Is the paint in the bottle with skinny tip watered down???

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Yes it is! I think I put some medium in there
