    Etchr extra small (S) tip pen
    Etchr watercolors (24 half pans)
    Arteza Watercolor Sketchbook
    Holbein Water Brush (large tip)
    Sakura Water Brush (medium tip)

    Dear Becky, I’d like to thank you for your videos. I have been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. I really want to start sketching my journey in a journal and your videos are encouraging me to begin despite a poor prognosis. Energy and eyesight are affected but I figure if i can just do 10 to 15 minutes a day it’s better than nothing, right? Thank you again. I really enjoy your work. ❤️❤️❤️

      Dear Kyomi, I wish you all the best with your treatment and recovery! 💜🍀💐Get well soon, and yes, art really helps with the process, even just 10-15 minutes a day. Please share your life experience and artworks with others, Instagram is a great idea.

    I started to sketch my meals after finding your channel, however I find it difficult because I can’t wait to eat it.

    • @BeckyCao
      @BeckyCao  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Perhaps you could sketch what’s leftover on your plate? 😀 I remember seeing some sketch artists do that: bread crumbs and fruit peels on their plate, and the half empty coffee mug… those looks cool too.

    Beautiful art in your daily sketchbook. I'm watching past and present videos and the ones with encouragement. I enjoy listening to you explain your concept of how to go about sketching in a cafe or outdoors and that things don't need to be realistic, this coming from a perfectionist. Thank you for sharing your art and time. Also, I just realized the first time I saw you sketching was on the Etcher tutorial showing how you sketch/paint a maple syrup bottle.🌝🌝🌺🌺🍁🍁

    I occasionally attempt to sketch and watercolor as it is very relaxing. I have long breaks because I tend to overthink and get too picky about realism. Your sketchbook style is so free and relaxing and very beautiful. You make it seem so much easier when you take the unneeded details. Subscribed and about to binge watch!

    • @BeckyCao

    I have stumbled upon your channel and have to tell you thank you! I have been depressed and lost for about 14 years and in the past year have decided to get back to creating. Thank good for my therapy and art and your channel it’s helped me gained confidence. I started loving myself and loving to paint and create again. Today I sketched and painted my orchid.

      In the description ☺️ I mainly use 0.8mm, 0.5mm tip pens. Now I'm using Uni-pin drawings pens. You can also try Micron Pigma and Faber-Castell PITT artists pens.

    Hi Becky, I love watching you draw and paint. At one point you mention that you slowed the video to real time. Can you tell me approximately how long it took you to do this page?

    • @BeckyCao
      @BeckyCao  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your appreciation. It took me about 55 minutes to do all of the sketches on this page.

    Hey Becky, thank you for your video. Is the paper in the Arteza you are using different from their spiral bond Premium watercolor sketchbook?

    • @BeckyCao
      @BeckyCao  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Dawn, I haven’t tried the spiral bond premium sketchbook yet. Perhaps it’s the same. You can check by comparing the descriptions on each one’s front cover.

      Ohh yeah, one day I could get a marker sketchbook and try those markers. 😄 So far I’m not tired of watercolors yet and I want to stick with it for now.
