sketchbook tour with cozy music ✸ ✸ ✸

here's another sketchbook that I finished this year. There's no talking, just some mellow music & the pages telling their own stories. This sketchbook was my coming back to a daily practice and I'm a bit rusty in the beginning pages.... lots of mediums & subject matters explored, so much so that I busted through the book binding and had to repair it lol.
I hope you enjoy this video and maybe it will inspire you to start your own creative practice as well :)
You can also tap in at 13:12 for a faster flip through.....

I have to agree with all the comments given. It is a wonderful delight and all inspiring journey to view your art as you turn your pages of your sketchbook. I am 70 and can't believe I am just starting this craft. You you have inspired me. You have excited me and have woken up creative passion within. Thank you.

oh my goodness, your comment has illuminated me! sketchbooks are such a balm for our souls, enjoy the adventure!!! ♥♥♥

[@connieschwarz6023]

You are a kindred sage to me ❤️🙏🙏🙏 ! I can feel your energy in every single page! Very beautiful! Much gratitude 🙏

The birds soaring make me feel so good!

[@karenmichel]

Yay!! They are my favorite too 🖤

Loved it. The colors, I really vibe with your sense of color. The freedom, the looseness inspire me. That bunch of flowers in a vase on 4.43 I'd hang in my room. It would make a good poster. Both of them. Instant happiness. It's also inspiring how simplifyed and yet expressive your portraits are.. Really lovely. I stop the video over and over to get lost in some color , an expression, the space that opens in the picture to get lost in.. The woman on 8.54 could join the flowers on my wall...

Thank you so much! The magic of sketchbooks really invites the experimentation and casual approach to the art making process. So happy that it resonates with you too!

Your artwork is very expressive and gorgeous! Could you tell me which journal you are using please? I find it hard to find a good one when working with so many different mediums. Thank you in advanced 😊

Thank you! So the one I am sharing here is a standard Artist Loft Sketchbook from Michaels www.michaels.com/product/hardbound-sketchbook-by-artists-loft-85-x-11-10449298?michaelsStore=2759&inv=6 but as you can see I busted through it and had to repair it lol.
