I've just come back from a 4 day trip to Paris and i had a really tough time choosing what colours to take. I forced myself to use all of them just so i didn't carry them all round for nothing 😂 You could just squirt a blob of white watercolour on the mixing part your pallet and wait for it to dry. That's what i do if I've run out of space in my pallet. Have a great time x
Thank you so much, hope you had a lovely trip to Paris! Haha thats so true, we want to make the materials we did take worth it 🤣 Aaah yes thank you! I don't have any tubes of watercolour but I could have done it with gouache - I wish I'd thought of it beforehand! 🙈
I just finished watching your video and this was very helpful to anyone traveling, whether it’s a weekend get away or a vacation. I think your homemade journal is fabulous! While I know you enjoyed making it, getting that needle into the pages couldn’t have been easy. It was rewarding when it was done, that I know. By the time you read this I know you are back home, I hope you had a wonderful time Katie ❤
Thank you so much Kathy 🥰 Oh you got it exactly right, trying to get that needle through all the correct holes was so tricky 🙈 but definitely worth it in the end!
Hope you have a great trip, Rome is on my bucket list 😄🩷 Such a fun idea to make your own sketchbook out of different sized papers and different types. I think it takes away a lot of pressure when it's not perfect, but I think it turned out really good 😄 I'm an over packer as well, it's so hard to narrow down what supplies to bring. But it seemed like you brought a lot of variation and colours without overdoing it! Can't wait to see what you created on your trip 😄
Thank you so much, it is such a beautiful city!! Yes absolutely, it felt really easy to work in and I'm really enjoying the different papers to work on 😄 I didn't create too much on my trip so I'm planning on drawing a lot from my photos this month, and hopefully will do a sketchbook flip soon! Thank you so much for your lovely comments each week 🥰
I really like that you made the sketchbook yourself with all the different structured papers. Looking forward to see what you did, your insta pic look really great, these sunset colors - just amazing :)
Thank you so much! It's been so fun working in that sketchbook and using the different stocks 🥰 I'm hoping to find some time over the next few weeks to add more in it using my holiday photos!

I totally agree! My collection has grown so much as I find it hard to resist those beautiful colours 😆
I love your sketchbook. How fun! I think you did a great job of winnowing out colors and fitting everything into that pouch.
Thank you so much, Paula! I was quite impressed with my self restraint when I packed my bags 🤣
Great video … your sketchbook is smashing and I enjoyed your thought process in choosing your supplies. Thank you for sharing and have a great break.
Thank you so much for watching, and for your kind words! 😊

White gouache. Just a blob dries hard.
Aaah yes, I definitely should have done this!
