If you have an art supply you haven’t used, and want ideas on how to use it; let me know! I would love to create ideas for you and your abandoned art supply! ❤ Even if it’s highlighters, I’m game! 😉
You already got me to dig out my art supplies and use them today. I didn’t realize how much I needed this creative time, so finding your channel was a real gift💓💓I have a ton of mixed media materials such and would love any ideas you have for integrating things like yarn, chenille stems, and cut out images to make unique art. Thank you!
Not all art is drawing with a pencil. I've thought of this so often but didn't know how to create these visions in my mind on paper. You have showed me how to work with watercolors and markers to make what I see in my mind and I'm just beside myself. I need a watercolor palette like yours, couple brushes, and a sketchbook. I can't wait to see what I can put down on paper. I have the feeling that I will fill a lot of sketchbook before I run out of ideas and time. I'm 80 and so glad I clicked in your channel. My heart was hunting for a way and you showed it to me. This is absolutely magic!
Hi!!! I’m so happy and grateful you clicked too!!! Thank you so much! I’m sure you’ll have a blast and absolutely positive you won’t run out of ideas!!! ❤️ you are magic! ✨
I was so sad that you destroyed the line artwork, I thought it was beautiful. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love the colors & the round circle.
Not only do I love your ideas for sketchbooks, but I also absolutely adore how you show them as a mock-up for a larger painting or print! I'm going to go through all my stuff and sort of try that see what they would look like. Thanks for the great ideas all around. 💜💜💜
I love your explanation of tantrums. I scrap ALOT . Thank you for reminding us all why we even make art at all. To play and have fun because we love it.
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. Early this year, not knowing what to do with myself, I got the idea to learned how to watercolor. I bought some how-to books, pattern books for painting in, sketchbooks, sketchpads, paints, brushes, WC paper, etc. I was really looking forward to giving it a try. However, I ended up needing to put everything aside. I was feeling overwhelmed by so much going on in my life as a result of losing my husband in Sept 2023. As I'm getting close to completing the installation of my large greenhouse and garden on my 1 acre property, I'm thinking about what I'll do when the snow begins to fall again. In addition to learning to embroider recently, I'm looking forward to getting back to my water coloring desire and to trying some of the techniques you demonstrated in this video. As a nature and gardening lover, my favorite is the 2 leaf page spread. But I also REALLY like the loose, watery flowers you zentangled over. I too wasn't crazy about the page you "hated", but I love how you turned your attitude around about it and used another technique I've wanted to try, the neurographic doodling technique. You did a great job with this video and I look forward to returning to it when I have my sketchpad and paints in front of me once the snow falls this fall & winter. Thanks for the great demo!
Thank you so much Michelle! ❤️ I’m glad you have so many beautiful things to try after your loss, I know they can’t possibly replace your partner but I’m sure they will help a lot: sending big hugs. You’ll have so much inspiration from everything in your green house I’m sure you’ll really love water coloring through the winter ❤️
Hola, Paula, me encantan tus ideas. Son fáciles y con resultados fantásticos, lo que anima mucho a realizarlas. Espero ponerlas en práctica pronto. Gracias por compartirlas. Saludos
I love that you are honest about your “tantrums” because as a perfectionist art has always been hard for me. It’s nice to see that other artists have problems with their work and find ways to get around it. I also love that you are doing this for fun and to explore. That’s a place where all art should come from.
Just found your work and loved it all. I’m going to try and blend your ideas in with my embroidery….. of course not line for line but in a creative way……. the lovely green leaves for example, how stunning that would look in fine, long and short stitch…. thread painted . Then there’s always filler stitches to colour the leaves , and the houses…… so many ideas. Something different to INSPIRE…….. INSPIRATION IS THE KEY, when you come across something different it definitely gets your creative juices flowing. Thankyou for sharing your wonderful work.
Thank you so much Christine! 🥰I loved that you felt inspired and that you e shared with me where your inspiration took you!!! Sounds amazing! ❤️❤️❤️ much gratitude!
These ideas are so wonderful. I’ve now got 7 pages in my journal from your satisfying 7 ideas. The very first one I did bled through 😂 and I thought about tearing out the page, but instead I drew circles all over it and it actually turned out awesome with the bleed through! Your ideas are simple to do yet elegant and beautiful. I’m so grateful to you and the other artist I follow on TH-cam. I’m grateful that both of you are sharing your art and giving ideas and lessons. It may not seem like a big deal, but you have no idea how life changing this can be for someone who suffers from anxiety so crippling that I’m afraid to even start. Sometimes all we need is just a little push. I’m very excited to start these 9 new ideas. Thx again
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I reiterate many of the comments I read: your relaxed, free-flowing style, your easy to listen to tutorial, how simple you make it look. Your work is beautiful, especially in giant size on the walls. I ordered some of your suggested supplies which will arrive Monday. I can't wait for my foray into watercolors! I was disappointed I couldn't find Jane Davenport's paints that I could afford. I hope to see more of your videos in the future. I love the format of doing several different paintings in your sketchbook in one video. :😊
Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰 I hope you are enjoying your art supplies already! I will be soon trying some new watercolor! I’ll keep you posted!
A 16:43 thank you soooo much for teaching the organic fill in lines. I've had fun drawing white lines on my painting that I thought was too plain and needed something. It's not finished yet but I'm so happy. Debbie from Melbourne Australia
Paula, I love all the sketchbook ideas! Another video idea for our sketchbook that would be helpful for me, and hopefully for many of your followers would be ideas to do while traveling. Whether it's a road trip or a plane ride, having creative options with fewer art supplies, is helpful creatively but also for those who need the distraction for traveling anxieties. Some pages could be partially prepped, or doing some of the prep work when we get home? Anyway, thanks for listening, can't wait to see more sketchbook ideas!
I absolutely love that! ❤️I have been able to create with very little supplies on the go so I’m going to add this extraordinary idea to my list!!! Thank you so much!!! 🙌🏻
I just discovered your channel. I love that your approach is to have fun. You show methods that I truly feel like I can practice. Thank you so much. And I also love that you show what they would look like as wall art.
Very fun. I love to draw and paint but struggle both with ideas and relaxing with the process. Thanks for the inspiration in your videos that I can use to practice!❤
Just came across your channel this morning. Can't tell you how much you've inspired me to start creating abstracts. I can't draw or paint really but you've given me some ideas so thank you and I look forward to following you 🙂
So happy I stumbled across your channel! I have wanted to paint with watercolors forever and ended up quitting after several failed attempts and instructional videos that didn’t give some specific enough directions. You and your channel re-ignited my desire to paint, and your flowers picture from this video absolutely freed me. I’ve thought about taking a painting in other directions but was never happy with the direction I went 🙄. Your technique and suggestions have fixed that and I cannot wait to paint something else. Thank you SO much!!
Thank you so much Natalie! Welcome so happy to have you here! I’m so honored my channel has inspired you to create again! I feel so much of what we see out there stops us from creating because we think we need a style to be recognized by, or like you mentioned; one direction… and I feel we should be able to create for pure joy, on a whim, without direction! I truly hope you painted something and that it felt great! ❤️
I just discovered your channel today. I really like your style! I like doodling floral abstracts and organic shapes, too. You've encouraged me to let myself do some simple things in my sketchbook.
Hobby artist here- I’ve really enjoyed these 2 videos. Great prompts. I always have trouble thinking of ideas and always worry too much about the final product. I love hearing your thoughts as you go through creating these pages. Inspirational! Thank you!!
Hello again. I just found you tonight (as I mentioned in the previous video I watched), but forgot to comment on what an amazing difference it makes when you have your sketch book art blown up and displayed on a wall...WOW!!! Also, thank you so much for sharing your art supplies. I'm quite new to watercolour and alcohol markers, and have found it to be a little confusing just what to invest in. I'm grateful for the help.
Hey again! If you are beginning you are so lucky you can focus more on the fun that in the supplies! Get whatever makes you the most excited to play with! In sure you’ll have tons of fun and you’ll too stumble with lucky mistakes that will turn into something great! ❤️❤️❤️
Just found you. You are good therapy for me. I am learning a lot from you and I appreciate you sharing your whole process including the things you are unhappy with. Your work is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing all that you do.
The page that you thought was ugly, I loved it and thought is was beautiful. I gasped when you started drawing the scribble lines. I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Love your videos.
I recently discovered your channel and I love it. Your creative ideas and lovely, honest attitude really helped me try watercolor. I tried once before and didn’t enjoy it. But your ideas give people permission to have fun and try something. Thank you! Love all of it so much!!
What a great video! I watch sketchbook videos a LOT, just found yours now and think you did an excellent job with the speed and pace of it, (not too fast, not too slow,) your commentary was fun and easy to listen to, (I didn't hit the mute button which I often do), and the art you created is beautiful, especially liked how you showed it as a large painting on walls. Overall, excellent!!
Paula, my favorite this time is the landscape/ mountain done in a red, gold and olive. I lovelovelove your content ( you are amazingly talented artistically!!! ) My main media has been colored pencil, i have wanted to jump into painting for 2 years now. You ( and only you) have been the first artist to inspire me out of my fear of paints of any kind, and also markers ( pigment markers) please keep making these lovely videos! I just became a new subscriber, also. 🎨🖌️
Thanks so much 😊!!! I have to share with you, I was just a little bit uneasy about something and I asked God/The Universe to show me an owl as a sign; and your comment is the very first one I see!!! ❤️❤️❤️ so grateful for you! 🥰
I really admire your work - it's very creative and expressive. I love the way you let the work grow into itself. I'm yet another retiree who took up watercolor to try my hand at art again, after an early attempt at oil painting when I was 19. I did one really nice self-portrait, and then never did anything else. Life got too busy. Now I just noodle around but it's starting to look like art. I'm going to follow your channel because you,ve inspired me not to be too hesitant. I've also made a note to purchase some of the items you used. BTW, I really liked your "rejected child", especially when I tilted my head and looked at it in landscape orientation. No accounting for taste, I guess. Carol in Boston.
Hey Carol! Welcome!!! And thank you for sharing with me ❤️ you know what I never thought about rotating to portrait I was so “in the tantrum” wish I had! Hope you keep having fun with your art! 😊🥰
Really appreciate the time you took to show a mockup of the idea in a larger scale! I really want to fill my home with some of my own art and seeing how simple it is to turn a quick project in a larger scale definitely makes it less intimidating! So clever! My first video of yours, not even halfway in and I had to post already enjoying so much 👏
Just found your channel and I’m so happy I did I just found the joy of watercolor do the things I do turn out good no not at all but it’s really relaxing and fun
I have recently discovered your channel. After a full and exhausting day I lay on my couch not wanting to move due to lack of energy. However after watching your videos I am compelled to get up, go to my art stuff and try out some of your ideas 😄❤️
Hi I’m new to your channel and WOW, I love all your ideas and especially how you do a mock up of a larger framed print of the picture you’ve made. What a fantastic thing to do. Your ideas and quick tutorials are fabulous, glad you found me 🤗
LOVE! Thank you so much for all these fun ideas for relaxing moments with our sketchbooks. You are so creative! I love to make are but am not very naturally creative, so I tried some of your ideas from your previous video like this one and was surprised that I quickly had ideas for more pages. It was just a matter of getting started! Thank you.
Loooviiiing the leaves and houses page! I gotta be better about just doodling or creating just to create. If everything has a purpose or direction, seems to be less room for experimenting - since youre looking for a “perfect” result each time.
Yessssss! That’s how I feel about my work as an artist… I really needed this space where I just create for the sake of and I’m not selling my paintings…. It’s just for fun! And it works! ❤️
I loved, loved, LOVED the first sketch book idea, so I immediately watched this one, too. You are SO inspiring. And fun to listen to. Thank you for sharing your time and talent. Question: how do you pick colors? My color combos are not as pretty as yours!
Wow, thank you! ❤️ I usually do it by putting the markers or colors together first! But there’s times were even like that once they are down it looks wrong so… maybe I don’t have the best advice 🫣 trial and error?
subscribed earlier this weekend based on one of your "ideas for your sketchbook" posts. Just started this post & had to stop after 2 mins to say: what a great, clear, very understandable explanation of negative painting!! have seen demos before, but never so succinct & easy to follow!! THANKS ! Now, back to this great current post! ;-)
😊Just a comment on materials: you showed them too quickly and moved them around so much I couldn’t read the makers. The sketchbook ideas were motivating and gave me the inspiration to pull out my sketchbook and get started. Thank you.
I'm so happy you made another one! I'm infinitely interested in this theme, please share more! And plz made another one about creating your own abstract interior decoration! Happy to see your creativity flow, and wish your channel a lot of success!
Thank you so much! And will do! The abstract art will come first and then more sketchbook with material suggestions I’m getting and I really wanna try!
Wow! You are so HARD on yourself. Nothing is ugly. You clearly prefer flowing lines to angles and that’s all right. But to say it is ugly and you beyond-hate it, is quite childish 😂😂😂 Your art is beautiful and inspiring and therapy on a page. ❤
If you have an art supply you haven’t used, and want ideas on how to use it; let me know! I would love to create ideas for you and your abandoned art supply! ❤
Even if it’s highlighters, I’m game! 😉
What about oil pastel? 🙂
You already got me to dig out my art supplies and use them today. I didn’t realize how much I needed this creative time, so finding your channel was a real gift💓💓I have a ton of mixed media materials such and would love any ideas you have for integrating things like yarn, chenille stems, and cut out images to make unique art. Thank you!
@@schragdenker5425 that’s a great idea! I think my kids might have some! 😊
@@laurakobetich9809 thank you so much! I’m super grateful this inspired you ❤️❤️❤️ I will note mixed media for a video idea! Thanks!
Instead of a regular pencil, use a watercolor pencil, and blend in your lines when you use the watercolors!
One of my favourite things about your channel is you show what the piece would look like as wall art. That is super unique and cool.
Thank you so much 😀 so happy you like that!
Loving your sketchbook ideas! Fantastic for beginners and anyone needing a kick start to get creating! MORE please!
Not all art is drawing with a pencil. I've thought of this so often but didn't know how to create these visions in my mind on paper.

Have you created anything?
I was so sad that you destroyed the line artwork, I thought it was beautiful. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love the colors & the round circle.
Thank you so much! I think it was more about not being what I expected and me having an artistic tantrum 🫣
I understand. Sometimes it’s best to walk away from a piece I’m not happy with. Like the previous commenter, I liked the maze one!
@@DrTarrandProfessorFether that is true! Space makes things better! I just need to handle my artistic tantrums better 🫣
I loved the maze. I liked the colors, I liked how the maze was only part of the page. It is true, beauty does lie in the eyes of the beholder.
Not only do I love your ideas for sketchbooks, but I also absolutely adore how you show them as a mock-up for a larger painting or print! I'm going to go through all my stuff and sort of try that see what they would look like. Thanks for the great ideas all around. 💜💜💜

She is really creative, I love her style
Thank you! 😊

Thank you very much for this Paula. So inspiring and do-able. Just what I needed!
That’s so great! ❤️ hope you have fun doing it! Thanks!
I think my favourite is the abstract landscape. I love red! Such great ideas to try.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️ I love painting landscapes ☺️
I love them all. Can’t wait to try them in my sketchbook❤
Yay! Have fun! ❤️

Thank you! So glad you liked it! 😊

I could tell right away from the first video I watched recently that they were Jane Davenport watercolors. They’re my favorite.
Great idea to do these practices I can see how you just relax to do more! Thank you.

You ( and only you) have been the first artist to inspire me out of my fear of paints of any kind, and also markers ( pigment markers) please keep making these lovely videos! I just became a new subscriber, also. 🎨🖌️
Wow thank you so much! This comment has made my day!!!! Thank you and welcome! ❤️ thanks for subbing! 🥰
You are amazing....I loved every page 😍
Thanks so much 😊!!! I have to share with you, I was just a little bit uneasy about something and I asked God/The Universe to show me an owl as a sign; and your comment is the very first one I see!!! ❤️❤️❤️ so grateful for you! 🥰
Good ideas I am a very young artist who loves to draw and paint❤
I’m glad you liked them! ❤️ keep doing what you love!
I really admire your work - it's very creative and expressive. I love the way you let the work grow into itself. I'm yet another retiree who took up watercolor to try my hand at art again, after an early attempt at oil painting when I was 19. I did one really nice self-portrait, and then never did anything else. Life got too busy. Now I just noodle around but it's starting to look like art.
I'm going to follow your channel because you,ve inspired me not to be too hesitant. I've also made a note to purchase some of the items you used. BTW, I really liked your "rejected child", especially when I tilted my head and looked at it in landscape orientation. No accounting for taste, I guess.

Hey Carol! Welcome!!! And thank you for sharing with me ❤️ you know what I never thought about rotating to portrait I was so “in the tantrum” wish I had!
Hope you keep having fun with your art! 😊🥰
Love this. Thank you so much for the ideas!
Thank you so much! ❤️You are so welcome!
Really appreciate the time you took to show a mockup of the idea in a larger scale! I really want to fill my home with some of my own art and seeing how simple it is to turn a quick project in a larger scale definitely makes it less intimidating! So clever! My first video of yours, not even halfway in and I had to post already enjoying so much 👏
Wow thank you so much! I’m happy you enjoyed it! 😊
Just found your channel and I’m so happy I did I just found the joy of watercolor do the things I do turn out good no not at all but it’s really relaxing and fun

I have recently discovered your channel. After a full and exhausting day I lay on my couch not wanting to move due to lack of energy. However after watching your videos I am compelled to get up, go to my art stuff and try out some of your ideas 😄❤️
Such an amazing compliment!!! Thank you!!! ☺️❤️❤️
Love all your pieces! So creative. Thank you for not tearing up the page you didn’t like. I think it turned out so nice.
Hi I’m new to your channel and WOW, I love all your ideas and especially how you do a mock up of a larger framed print of the picture you’ve made. What a fantastic thing to do. Your ideas and quick tutorials are fabulous, glad you found me 🤗
Hi!!! Welcome I’m so happy to have you here! 🥰 thank you!!!
LOVE! Thank you so much for all these fun ideas for relaxing moments with our sketchbooks. You are so creative! I love to make are but am not very naturally creative, so I tried some of your ideas from your previous video like this one and was surprised that I quickly had ideas for more pages. It was just a matter of getting started! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this with me! I’m so happy these helped spark your own creativity! 🎉
Love your work and positivity. Problem is I don't have a steady hand when drawing. I will still try some of your ideas.
Hmmm thanks for sharing! I’ll try to come up with ideas that don’t require a steady hand at all! 😊
I love these :) You have such a strong creative brain.
Thank you so much my friend! 😊 happy to see you on this thread! ❤️
Love these ideas! Lots of fun. thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks! ❤️
This is so good, fantastic tips, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺
Hey!!!! Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Loooviiiing the leaves and houses page! I gotta be better about just doodling or creating just to create. If everything has a purpose or direction, seems to be less room for experimenting - since youre looking for a “perfect” result each time.
Yessssss! That’s how I feel about my work as an artist… I really needed this space where I just create for the sake of and I’m not selling my paintings…. It’s just for fun! And it works! ❤️
I use watercolor brush pens a lot. Great for doing blending.
Oh I love those for on the go creations 😊
I like the maze page. Love how you create great paintings that are really easy to do.
Thank you so much!❤️
What a sophisticated attitude towards making art in your sketchbook!
Thank you Edith!!😊
Très beau et très inspirant 😊
merci! Je suis contente que cela t’ait inspiré !
i like the lines created with the tape
Thank you!
I did think your taped line one was nice before you made scribble lines. ❤ Fun ideas!
Thank you, I agree ! It needed something else for sure!
@@bycreativepaula I meant I did like it before you drew the scribble lines. I think spellcheck just changed it.
Haha thanks! I still feel better with it now 😊 I need to try again though 🤔
I loved, loved, LOVED the first sketch book idea, so I immediately watched this one, too. You are SO inspiring.
And fun to listen to. Thank you for sharing your time and talent.
Question: how do you pick colors? My color combos are not as pretty as yours!
Wow, thank you! ❤️ I usually do it by putting the markers or colors together first! But there’s times were even like that once they are down it looks wrong so… maybe I don’t have the best advice 🫣 trial and error?
Sometimes what keeps a way is watching creative Paula!! But you inspire me so much I’m gonna go create right now
I love to see your larger prints. They're amazing.
Glad you like them! ❤️ thank you!
Negative space leaves are sp pretty! I wish you could have heard me scream when I saw the mock-up hanging on the wall! I love it!
Thank you!!! ❤️ I have to admit I want to make them super large now!
subscribed earlier this weekend based on one of your "ideas for your sketchbook" posts. Just started this post & had to stop after 2 mins to say: what a great, clear, very understandable explanation of negative painting!! have seen demos before, but never so succinct & easy to follow!! THANKS ! Now, back to this great current post! ;-)
Hi again! Thank you so much for subbing! So happy to have you here! ❤️
I love your painting style. Cool ideas - I will start now with pic 1 (negative painting)... and the rest will follow :)
Yes it will! ❤️have fun! 🙌🏻
😊Just a comment on materials: you showed them too quickly and moved them around so much I couldn’t read the makers. The sketchbook ideas were motivating and gave me the inspiration to pull out my sketchbook and get started. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I’ll take that into consideration for a next time! In the meantime I have everything linked in the description; I hope that helps 😊
Beautiful
Thank you 😊
Welcome
I really liked that maze pic before the black scribble… loved the colours you used
Thank you! ❤
You're welcome 😊❤️
Great ideas! I especially loved the glimpse of your beautiful fine art landscapes ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️ so happy you liked them!
I'm so happy you made another one! I'm infinitely interested in this theme, please share more! And plz made another one about creating your own abstract interior decoration! Happy to see your creativity flow, and wish your channel a lot of success!
Thank you so much! And will do! The abstract art will come first and then more sketchbook with material suggestions I’m getting and I really wanna try!
Seriously it’s not ugly it’s beautiful!
🥰 thank you!
Wow! You are so HARD on yourself. Nothing is ugly. You clearly prefer flowing lines to angles and that’s all right. But to say it is ugly and you beyond-hate it, is quite childish 😂😂😂 Your art is beautiful and inspiring and therapy on a page. ❤
