[@ChantelleArts]

what an amazing sketchbook for an amazing adventure ☺

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you so much Chantelle!

[@monikaazariah9237]

What a gorgeous travel sketchbook ❤ you inspire me to sketch more when I travel ....I loved each spread

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you Monika! Music to my ears, its fantastic to sketch as you travel :)

[@mebearcreations]

This sketchbook is such a precious memory of your holiday. Very inspiring too. I really love your style

[@helenwildingart7150]

What a fabulous sketchbook tour, Taria - I love how you also add little videos here and there from when you were actually sketching to see the context. Also very chuffed to see your sketches from our rainbow house and hear your lovely words - thank you! So glad we got a chance to catch up :)

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

So lovely to catch up with you too! ☺️ Thank you Helen! Hope to see you in Poland!

[@jessicastrideart]

A lovely book of memories!💖👏🏻

[@jomo3512]

Thanks for highlighting that printer. I saw another KZbinr mentioning it recently and was curious about. I’m looking forward to your review.

[@J4pod]

Glad you had a great trip to Australia. What great sketchbook memories! The big things started with the Big Banana at Coffs Harbour, northern NSW. Other popular east coast ones are the Big Prawn in Ballina and the Big Pineapple near Nambour in Queensland. The Victorians pronounce Castlemaine differently - just a regional quirk in Aus.

[@elizmaduvenage5258]

Wow. Stunning sketches. Love the storytelling of your adventure. Little printer such a good idea. ❤

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you Elizma!

[@OkieSketcher1949]

Now this was really fun to watch. Beautiful sketches of your trip. I liked the way you put it all together. If you are stuck on how to finish off the sketchbook do what a lot of us do when confronted with this issue - select a few of your more memorable photos and convert them to sketches. Sounds like you made some great contacts/friends on this trip who showed you just how wonderful Australia really is. It is wonderful to meet and know people like this. Thanks for your show. I enjoyed it.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Excellent 🎉

[@reedebrown6006]

Great sketches and I do like the composite type of spreads. Think they give a more natural feel of the trip. Thanks for sharing.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@englishfive6985]

Hello Taria😊, happy to see your video again

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Yay, thank you! I know its been a while....eek! :)

[@susiehawkins3222]

Yes please on the splashy water class

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Thanks for letting me know Susie!

[@Maresmurf]

I love this, this is such a cool sketchbook to remember your time in Australia. I would love to learn how to draw splashy water, your painting (like the others in your book), came out stunning. I love that you paint everyday things and when you look at it all together, it tells a story. I will know look for a few minutes to draw something small when going away, as I don't get time to sit down for long with the family and a very busy and curious 3 year old (whom i love to bits). Oh, and i saw your painting of the 3 sisters blue mountains, we also have 3 sisters formation in the Northern Cape in South Africa.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Ooooh I shall have to go find the 3 sisters in Northern Cape! I know also there is 12 Apostles in both Australia and in Cape Town. Yes, its something I am embracing much more these days - smaller quicker sketches patched together...it works so much better for busy travel schedules! I shall definitely do a video on the water as soon as I can :)

[@ginaanders247]

I love your entire scapes. Your sketching/journaling and my goodness your watercoloring illustrations, have totally motivated me to begin my very own sketching/journaling, then watercoloring them later. I haven't quite gotten the hang of finishing my watercoloring sketches on the go yet. Thank you for candidly sharing your awesome artistic abilities here on You Tube. 🎨✏️🖊

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

I am so so happy to hear this!! The most important thing is your doing it! So many people don’t start. Just keep doing it and having fun 🥰 thank you so much for your kind words 🙏

[@kovalsketchbooks]

😁🤘🏼

[@KarenRude-nc3qg]

Really enjoyed this video! Makes me excited for the Cape Town trip!

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Yay Karen!! It’s going to be AMAZING. 🥰 I can’t wait to see you in South Africa 🇿🇦🙌

[@natemcdonald8853]

Looks like you got busy getting new tattoos!👍🏼

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Haha! I do love to get inked when I travel! i got one in Buenos Aires but not any in Australia this time round :)

[@aussieanne6812]

Another inspirational video Taria - thank you! I’ll be in Portugal in Sept/Oct this year and will be attempting to capture some scenes in my own sketchbook. I would have loved to join your sketching class - unfortunately the dates don’t work for me😢 Look forward to seeing your sketchbook from that event.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Awww thank you so much. Have a FABULOUS time in Portugal & Spain!

[@juanm.h.7126]

Hello I would like to see a video showing your technique. Beautiful trip and sketch book

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Hello Juan! I have many videos on my KZbin channel showing my sketching technique and also a full online course: sketchyouradventures.com 😊

[@this_handle_is_taken201]

Taria, for the webinar are you going to record it so it will be available in case somebody misses it? looking forward to it!

[@kathyhackney7950]

P.S. i like the way you've loosened up lately!

[@kathyhackney7950]

I could never afford a koval sketchbook. And if I did, I'd never end up using it 😂. I'd be too afraid. But.. it IS beautiful. I just want to feel free in my sketchbooks. They're like journals. I write in them. Doodle. Track dreams and mandela effects. Sketch dreams. Im currently just using a 120 gsm leda sketchbook. I use everything in it. Watercolor, acryl gouache, gouache, colored pencil, ink. It's wonderful for ink and.colored pencil, but i dont mind the crinkle that comes with using water in it. I think i want to try the ohuhu moxed media b5 next. A5 just doesn't feel big enough anymore. Lovely art! It's always inspiring.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

I agree Kathy - I was lucky that I was actually gifted this one. They are exceptional and I would use one for a special trip but yes the psychological warfare of using it was tough as I know its an expensive book!! Ha ha. I actually think this book is B5 (something I forgot to mention in the video) - its definitely bigger than A5 and I agree, going back to using A5 now at home, it doesn't feel big enough!

[@helenmitchell4385]

What a wonderful sketchbook. I went to Sydney last year and love looking at my photos. Guess I better sketch it into my book. Taria, what other printer would you have gotten instead of the Polaroid? You mentioned that you didn’t really want that one because of the plastic waste etc

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

HI Helen, Well I was going to get the Xiami (Im not sure if spelt that right) but then I saw some bad reviews so that put me off. My friend has the HP Sprocket which she really likes but we can't get here. And the Canon one (Ivy?) is apparently good but again can't get it here. And i was looking at the Fujifilm too. I get exhausted going down research rabbit holes so in the end I went for Polaroid. The image quality is absolutely incredible. The down-side it replacing the whole plastic section after 10 shots :( I suppose, as with anything in life, there are pros and cons to them all! Getting all philosophical and stuff here....ha ha

[@martinaakervik]

Great video and lovely sketchbook. Just wanted to comment: -If you travel a lot can’t you just keep on using the sketchbook until it’s finished? Idk… that’s seems logical to me,🤷🏻‍♂️ It looks really great… lol some kind of cartoon, so impressive

[@JGalegria]

NanTien Temple, I know it! Did you go to Wollongong harbour and lighthouse and the Seacliff Bridge which is spectacular? Love Berrima but Bowral is okay too also the towns of Berry and Milton but they're further down the coast. No we call it Castlemaine as in castle, which Australians pronounce carsel or cahsel, not cassel (which would be Cockney pommy pronunciation), so you were told a porky 😂 Enjoyed your sketchbook tour and chat. Next time maybe buy all food from local businesses and avoid global conglomerates. Keeping the tourists dollar in the country really helps. Yep I've got no idea why the giant things eg the big banana in Coffs Harbour. I find it weird and it really has nothing to do with our culture here.

[@jemmavonhoff1548]

It's for security. If you are bad person, that might not be water.

[@eileengoldenberg270]

How do you like the Koval sketchbook? It is great to hear they will be at the symposium.. !

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

I don't know they will definitely be there, just expect them to be seeing as its Poland...but I guess we shall see! I loved using this one....they are exceptionally made but they are quite expensive too. I would definitely consider getting one for a special trip but probably not as a day to day sketchbook if that makes sense.

[@alisonlyonsphoto]

Ah, what a shame I missed you in Robertson… do you have any plans on returning 🙏

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

YES!!! I shall return to Green Door, it was amazing. I am hoping the start of 2026 if plans come together :) Are you on the mailing list for Green Door Studio? Or mine? That way you won't miss it :)

[@alisonlyonsphoto]

@@tarias_sketchy_adventures Thank you so much... I'll make sure I add my name to both!!! 💚💚

[@hanichay1163]

What? I have a black and white thermal printer. A color one???
