Sketchbook Time 12 ☁ Play and experiment with me! ◑ Layering gouache + mixed media (no music)

Welcome back to another Sketchbook Time! Grab your art supplies and draw or paint along with me, or just settle down with a cup of tea and a snack and enjoy watching me experiment in my sketchbook or 40 minutes, layering and mark making. It was fascinating to see how the different materials and colours worked together - I hope that it inspires you to play in your sketchbook too!
This is a very chatty video with no music, so it's perfect to put on in the background while you work. I'll also tell you a little bit about something I've been working on behind the scenes over the past couple of weeks!

[@nozomihitorigoto7007]

I'm learning British English, and love art. So this is the best channel to watch to learn both of them.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

That's very kind of you, thank you!

[@aletabarker]

I really like your additional mark making it adds another dimension to your work Natasha.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you, Aleta!

[@Angie-pl3uw]

I made it to the end quite happily. My worry was that you were going to cover your white bridge that goes who knows where! This was wonderful to watch; thank you so much. And I loved your finished painting. It’s just great!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks so much, Mariangela! I'll definitely take some of the techniques I used here and incorporate them into one of my finished paintings.

[@angelabrommit7795]

I am a little late to this video, but I wanted to comment. I love listening to your voice. It is very calming and lovely. I also love watching art videos and I am also trying to give myself permission to loosen up in my sketchbooks as well. Watching people playing with art supplies is always inspiring! I like to listen to your videos when I am working on boring excel files at work!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Angela, I'm so pleased that you're enjoying the videos and that they keep you company during boring tasks! It is hard to loosen up and I have to actively keep persuading myself to do it, because my natural tendency is to be quite tight in my work.

[@Bonnie10au]

I really like this. No music and all chatting. I can do art myself while listening to your lovely voice. Have you thought about doing live streams?

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I would never say never, but I think I'd find live streams a bit too stressful and distracting! I'm so pleased that you enjoy the no music, chatty videos. I'd like to chat less next time though, and have a few more art sounds. :)

[@MandaPanda254]

Its well late for this video, but at least you'll know there's people lovingly watching all of your past videos 😄🥰 discovered you several months ago and its been wonderful working through all of your videos, you are amazing with what you do, so inspiring and relaxing, love your art style🌻🌻

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you for such a lovely comment! It made my day. :)

[@mariac4602]

I love the expressive style! and so glad you didn’t use music. I prefer to hear the voice and thought process of the artist rather than a music video 😊. I think because we all interpret and experience a piece of music differently, it can inadvertently change the experience of the viewer.

[@andrea859]

Hi Natasha, everyone must be asleep. I am surprised to see I am the second comment. It is 7.18pm here in Australia. You inspired me to buy a few Windsor and Newton Gouache tubes. I have been painting with water colour. Also bought oil pastels. Really enjoy using them. Really appreciate your encouragement to experiment. Thank you.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

And I think the first one was a spam comment! (I've reported it!) 😂 I love the Winsor & Newton gouache, I've been using them for years. Consistently good quality and great colours - I hope you enjoy them too!

[@a.o9656]

I'm in Australia too!!! Yayyy go Aussies

[@stephanie.kilgast]

"I made it to the end" XD while doing oil exercises (learning to paint with oils right now ^^) thanks for the "chat"!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Oh, that sounds exciting! I hope it goes well for you. :) Thanks for watching my video!

[@luneleaart]

Made it to the end! The video came at the perfect time to keep me company over breakfast☕️ and I will now go play in my sketchbook. The ash green and warm brown combination look so serene and beautiful💚 I think you would make a great relaxing/asmr video sketching, I love the sound of pencils on paper and brushes in water bowls

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I keep thinking about making a more ASMR-ish video with different relaxing drawing or painting sounds...definitely something to consider! Thanks Elena. :)

[@djhadaverde]

Hi! Yes, we do love you experimenting, informal and unintentional ASMR ;) Less is more, I also prefer videos without music. Have a lovely end of summer.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you! I agree - I'm going to try to include more of the natural sounds of drawing and painting in the next Sketchbook Time as I find them so relaxing. :)

[@jessicastrideart]

Of course I made it to the end, I wouldn’t miss a moment!☺️ This looked like a lot of fun, you have me itching to have a play now.x

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Aw, thanks Jess! That's what I hope these videos will do. :) xx

[@karritz1542]

I made it to the end. I enjoyed the mark making and your desire to loosen up. I'll be interested to see where that takes you.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you for watching the entire video! 🖤 I'm excited by my new experiments too - we'll see where it leads. :)

[@knowthyselfandyoullknowthe8216]

made it until the end as always :) You are so right, can't wait to discover your Patreon offerings too. Looks like your channel is growing faster more recently and that your art hauls are the ones that are the most watched, so maybe that would be nice to still do those (and maybe art book reviews love those too) and for the ones of us who would like more painting time the Patreon might be the right choice...anyway you'll know better. But yes I would just like to say that if you are looking for ideas for your videos here on KZbin, don't forget the art book reviews ;-)

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks, I definitely won't forget the art book reviews! ;) I'm taking notice of the videos that seem most popular with my audience on KZbin, so I'll certainly continue with those, and try to vary the content I upload here as well. The Patreon content will be more in-depth with more emphasis on my art practice and process - lots of painting/drawing/sketchbooks!

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

As an abstract painter myself,so lovely to get to see you experimenting in this way too,and just having fun with different media,I love how working in such an unhibited way in your sketchbook can be really inspring and can feed back into your regular work later on. I spend some time each day win my sketchbooks doing the same thing,just playing, it helps get me going,and it means I can really explore all my different media too. Layering is such a great thing to do as well,it's that sense of exploration and seeing what will appear as you work. So glad to hear that working like this is also already feeding back into the evoution of you regular work. I find my trditional workig really now influences my digital working and vice versa. I'm happy to hear you have arrived at a work/life balance that works for you and that you can take forward as well,your creative well being will really gain strength from this am sure.Hope Patreon really takes off for you in september and it futher enhances the community that has built up around you here on KZbin.KZbin content is more work than people realise I had a chnnnel for a short time and it almost took over my life,I enjoyed it,but my work suffered in the end,but I learnt a lot doing it. You have a real presence here on you tube and long may that continue,but it sounds like it is a good time for you to try something new with the Patreon platform and it's good that you can work on this with Dominic too.It sounds like so much is happening for you in the future and it's great to hear and will be exciting to go on that journey with you.Glad too that the latest prints and postcards have ben so popular (can't wait to recieve the postcard set!). Have a great weekend. (matt) P.s hope Burt the dog enjoyed his walk!!! and I have been experimenting with Daniel Smith's watercolour ground,in black,transparent and irridescent gold. It's a kind of medium/primer you can apply to wood an other surfaces that creates a ground to paint with watercolours on,it's an intreaguing medium,but I think if you haven't tried it yet look into it,as a mixed media painter it's a great new material to work and experiment with am trying it on glass at the moment.I love using my fingers too in my sketchbook,soo sastifying!! and fun! this video didn't seem that long at all,you were having so much fun and it was so great to listen to you the time passed really quickly!.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I can really see my work evolving as I'm using sketchbooks more; I think it's such an important part of our art practice. :) Thanks so much for your kind words about Patreon, I'm very excited about it and the content I'll be sharing on there. I'll let you know when your postcard set is on its way - I'm gradually making my way through the orders! The DS watercolour ground does sound intriguing, I've heard several people talking about it recently. I love that you're always experimenting, and that you. love and value your art supplies as much as I do mine! Have a great weekend, Matt. Take care. x

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

@@NatashaNewtonArt Melanie Chadwick has just uploaded the follow up video about her homemade concertina sketchbooks,if you have a liitle time it's really worth watching,so inspiring. Hope you and Dominic have a great weekend. The Daniel Smith watercolour ground in irridescent gold is lovely and realy enhances the trasparency of watercolours and it does affect them,but in a way that I like,I was inspired by others using it here on youtube and thought I would try it.Take care both of you. (matt)

[@notesinthemargin]

I loved this sketchbook time chat! 💖 I really enjoyed just the sound of you drawing and sharing your thoughts without any background music. I thought that this video had a bit of a Tony Hart vibe to it! (High praise indeed!) I half expected Morph to turn up! 😁 Your sketch reminded me of the rain sweeping in over the chalky hills that we can see from our window. Very relaxing 😎😘 xxx

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you! 🖤 I think that next time I'd like to chat a little less and just be quiet and listen to the sound of the pencil or crayon on the paper - I love that! I'm so honoured to be mentioned in the same comment as the legend that is Tony Hart. 🙌 It's funny how something that was supposed to be completely abstract and just a layering/mark-making exercise still turned out to represent a landscape! 😂😘 xxx

[@debsllewelyn230]

I always make it to the end of your videos! Much prefer them without music, chatting and art sounds are so much more relaxing

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Oh my goodness, this emoji at the end of your comment! A cat in a box? I've never seen this before! LOVE. :)

I watched to the end. I started my first ever sketchbook last year, and after a few starts i finally got it - why a sketchbook! you learn and try and play and get thoughts out your head. I know try to do a page or two every day after i walk. I am certainly going to try the finger painting!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

It took me a while to figure out why a sketchbook is so important (and fun!). Now that I've finally managed to loosen up and just enjoy working in them, I can't imagine not using them regularly now!

Hi Natasha, made it to the end, of course! I really enjoy your videos and your voice is so soothing 😊 I love how free this drawing is. It’s something I should try but I’m always so worried about wasting art supplies. Which is silly I know, they’re meant to be used after all 😅 Exciting news about your Patreon 😍 Have you ever considered doing live streams? I wonder if that could be a good balance between you managing to focus on your art and putting out content? Great video as alway, thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us 💚

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks so much, Nikki! I also worry about wasting art supplies, which is why I didn't ever really experiment like this in the past. I would have seen it as time that I could have spent (not to mention supplies that I could have used) on work that I'd be making to sell. It did feel like a bit of a waste. But then I realised that it's not just about the end result, but that I learn so much and gain so much enjoyment from the process itself. I feel that it's really helping my art to evolve in a way that's much faster and more satisfying than it otherwise would have done. :)

Yay! Thank you! 🖤

Good Luck with your abstracts I have also enjoyed just playing with layering, have not ventured into finger painting just yet. but i guess you're braver than me. Good luck with your print shop and your Patreon account, super exciting developments for you always make it to the end...

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you for always making it to the end! I'm really excited about the prints/postcards and about Patreon - although I've rescheduled Patreon for early October as I was trying to fit too much into this month already!

I stayed until the end and am watching again. This is perfect! Listening to and watching this video was a like having a friend to paint with. We live in a rural area and I don’t have much company. I am very excited about your Patreon.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Same here! (Rural area, not much company!). I reply upon KZbin to keep me sane some days! 😂

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

@@NatashaNewtonArt not so rural where I'm from.. but KZbin is my social life lol

I made it to the end, love a long relaxing art video. Love a sketchbook, so great for just playing around and experimenting. Look forward to your patreon x

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you so much, Sarah! x

[@amberrundell]

I havent tried guoche yet, I'm working on a watercolor palette at the moment but mayb in the future I will try them out, I really like the sea scape u showed in ur sketchbook at first very pretty I love all of them actually lol I think the turquoise kind of abstract one would b an awsome post card, the sea scape would b a good one too really but I would totally hang them both on my wall lol I have to say I really like the way u did one in ur usual style also, I think the looser version is very cool tho very different it seems more free mayb idk lol but anyway awsome video thank u for sharing ur process with us

[@jeaninewatts8320]

As always I loved your video from start to finish, it was lovely to see you just experimenting. As well as inspiring as I have never considered playing with gouache, neo colour and coloured pencils together, I might just give it a go myself ;) Excited to hear the prospect of you doing Patreon, as it is so lovely to both support the artists I admire as well as get a in depth look into their process etc xx

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you so much, Jeanine. I really appreciate everything you've said here. :) I hope that you did (or do) find the time to experiment with the different media like I did here - it was so much fun! xx

[@megperry5586]

Always watch to the end. It's such a treat Natasha. Have you tried the cretacolor oil pencil drawing set

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I haven't, but I believe you're the third person to mention them in this comment section, so I need to check them out properly! ;)
