In the Flow with Sketches from Home
Many sketches from home this week. I'm inspired to paint where I live and capture these warm memories of place and home. Boats and seagulls and splashes of red paint are everywhere. I'm happy I love to paint them because they are in abundance around here! I also made a special painting from the walk to the school bus stop one morning - black birds everywhere. It was amazing!
This week I played with gouache, watercolor, acrylics, and neocolor - maybe a few colored pencils too. Lots of inspiring ideas!

The Value of Composition

Color swatching, thumbnails, mini paintings, oh my! Going bigger can feel a bit overwhelming and preparing for it can seem like drudgery but I know it gives me better results. I found a few ways to put the fun back into prep! Creating compositions and value plans are an opportunity to be creative and play with color, shape, and line. Then I can feel free to paint intuitively when I go bigger! A...

    What is your favorite watercolor marker? I've only tried tombows and winsor newton, but i really want to try albrecht durer and ecoline.

    • @LaurenBellArt
      @LaurenBellArt วันที่ผ่านมา

      It’s so hard to pick! I like the tombows for skinniness and portability and they’re muted color options, winsor Newton are nice but not a fan of their color range though there are a couple I like, eco lines are great - very similar to tombow - but they have a more flexible tip I think and go on a little wetter (I feel like tombows dry out quickly) so I like them better for that, albrechts are probably my fave if I want to wet or smudge them. They have a lot of moisture and the color range includes more of what I like. I still need either ecoline or tombow though for other muted colors - the albrechts alone don’t have all the colors I like. Hope that helps!

    I am currently making a point of repeating painting/sketches in my journals. I feel like I get to see such a fun variety of the same subject and like you said, you get to experiment with it each time and build that muscle memory. I am terrible at landscapes. I would love to get better but for some reason my creativity and skills disappear when I attempt. 😂

    • @LaurenBellArt
      @LaurenBellArt 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It really does help and it’s fun! Best advice I can give for landscapes is limited color palette and look at it like it’s just a bunch of shapes. If you can work from a photo it can help to turn it upside down. There are so many ways to make a great landscape - don’t worry about any rules!

    • @kathyhackney7950
      @kathyhackney7950 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You know what's weird? I used to hate landscape painting bc i sucked at them.When I do portraits, I do semi realism, but for some reason, when I do landscapes, that isn't the way I want to paint and it took me a long time to figure that out. I love loose landscapes with bits of abstraction and a slightly more detailed focal point. I say all to say, maybe you just haven't found your way of painting landscapes yet?

      @LaurenBellArt 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi! Maybe. It’s a common format in videos that are more of a here’s what I’m doing rather than a step by step. Basically you need an intro hook so people see what’s coming and want to keep watching and that’s visual for artists - so a bunch of short clips of art and what’s coming up. Talking is fine but has to be broken up with more visual clips of either art or actually doing things so lots of B roll. I haven’t done as much B roll in the past because I haven’t had the time. I do now. I can’t be anyone else than who I am and this is what it looks like when I try to tell the story of making my art 🤷‍♀️
