- In this video I share the small sketchbook studies using ink and pastel. These were done both during and after the 100 day project. They are an exploration of using these two media, both on location and back in the studio.
I will be releasing a newsletter soon. You can sign up here if you aren't already subscribed:

I really appreciate this post Liz. Not only your spirit of experimentation with your chosen media but also what you see as your successes and less successful marks. I especially love the way that you use the white of the paper as part of your work and your use of colours. I was struck by your frequent return to a limited palette as being the more successful experiments. Thank you so much for sharing your sketch books and your thoughts. By the way - I thought you were being rather tough on yourself! This is a beautiful project. Thank you
Hi Anna, thanks so much for your comments and observations. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Yes its interesting that the limited pallet seems to have more impact (at least for me). Yes, I am rather tough on myself -you are right. But I am also trying to be honest so that I have those concrete thoughts to move forward with.
Your colors are so beautiful. Every page a delight. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Rebecca - that’s very kind - I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, what a beautiful way to start new studies and experimenting the combination of 2 different materials. And thereby the getting in another studio. Succes and strenght in the coming weeks. Please take good care for yourself.
Thank you so much for your comments. I’m glad you enjoyed the walk through.
Great vid Liz, hope to do at least a few larger pieces too.
Thanks - I think it’s good to try different sizes- the small size means that you can do quite a few but scaling up teaches us other things.
Thank you for showing these beautiful studies
You are welcome Gill. I’m glad you enjoyed them
Very interesting as always. I am so pleased to see the volume of work you produced by keeping focused. I love your line of enquiry in this project. Thanks Liz. X
Thanks Gilli that’s very kind of you. I enjoyed the focus and using just 2 materials. X
Yay.. always look forward to your posts..!!
Thank you!- I’m so glad that you enjoyed it.
Beautiful work Liz - each one so interesting
Thanks Cathy much appreciated. The pastels you ask about are Unison so they are very soft but gorgeous intense colours. I have their landscape set.
Fabulous video Liz. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful sketchbook and thoughts; so inspiring! BTW following one of your previous videos I purchased a couple of Artway sketchbooks, and I love them xx
Thank you Karen- I am going to be developing a new online course about my sketchbook use with much more detail and exploration so watch this space on that! I’m glad you are enjoying the sketchbooks xx
I really enjoyed seeing these, they are beautiful and so interesting! It inspires me to experiment, thank you so much!
Hi Christina Thanks for your comments and I’m so glad that you enjoyed looking and are inspired by them! Enjoy your experiments!
Such a wonderful and beautiful way to use your sketchbook without getting overwhelmed what I'm finding with my Windermere studies. I'm looking forward to your online course because I really dont know how to progress with experiments with all bits of them all over the place in my room. I was getting on with it in the beginning but now lost the plot. I purchased liquidex inks but they are so light to handle that I have spilt more on the table than on paper because I am clumsy. I'm trying to find a way which inks are better for me to handle. I have same trouble with Wallace Seymour bottle of ink would you believe. Sounds stupid doesnt it? I do have a Seniliar bottle of ink that seems robust to handle. They seem more sturdy.Great explorations with your materials.
Your study so far looks great.
Thanks for your comments Leila!- I think you will find that getting lost is a somewhat common thing- this is where some journalling can help . But part of it is that it isn’t a linear process like following a recipe would be. I was t aware that the sennelier bottles were more robust- Perhaps it’s the shape of the bottle?
Liz, thank you for showing your sketchbook it's wonderful to hear your thoughts. I'm wanting to know what brand of inks you use; would you share that?
Hi Bethan I do mention that- I use some Liquitex; some Wallace Seymour and some sennelier
Thank you. I missed that.
@@BethanWebster no problem.
What kind of pastels?
Hi Cathy I hope you saw me answer this in your previous message. They are Unison pastels.
@@LizAckerley I did Liz - thank you and I have ordered some - I’m in Canada so I have to wait a bit😊
Liz - my pastels arrived from the UK and I don’t think I’ve ever had anything so delicious in my hand. They’re wonderful- thanks for the info
