Etchr Sketchbook Tour! Painting the Cover and Flipping Through the Entire Finished Book. 2020-2021

- I finished another sketchbook, woohoo! This one is my A4 Etchr Sketchbook with 100% cotton watercolour paper. I ended up using this one a lot for previous videos, so you may well have seen some of what is inside already! I also decided to paint the white canvas outer cover of the book, as it was very dirty and needed to be decorated to hide all of the marks (and cat hairs!). I hope you enjoy this one; it is always so satisfying to complete an entire book.
I've included a link below to the sketchbooks I bought on Etchr's website. They come in bundles of three and aren't exactly cheap, but they are very nice and excellent with watercolours. (I have the cold press ones).

Oh my goodness! What a LOVELY sketchbook! It is entirely a work of art, no pun intended...haha!
I personally LOVE that you didn't tape off every piece the bleed through around the edges as you painted through the book really added to the overall feel for me.
This completed sketchbook is definitely in my top favorites. 🥰
Your paintings are beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing with us. 💝
Thank you so much! It is always immensely satisfying to finish an entire book. It's not something that happens very often in my case, so I call it a win, haha! Hopefully I will get another book I'm working on finished soon. 😊
15:10 Santa with kangaroo sleigh over Uluru is just AWESOME 🤩
Aw thank you! If you're interested, I did a much larger painting of it around Christmas 2020 (my 100th video) so you can see how the final version of it turned out. I have a Christmas playlist and it is hopefully in there, haha!
@@BeckyTregear thank you, I couldn't find it 😍
I watch all of your videos, I do enjoy your art! I have so many filled watercolor books, I hope my grand children will enjoy them someday.
That's wonderful! 💕💜. And thank you ☺️
Loved this one. Trip down memory lane for me. My father immigrated to the U.S. from Barbados in 1909. We had a HUGE orange frangipani tree & loads of hibiscus in our front yard in Miami.
Oh wow, amazing! Up in tropical Queensland, the white flower frangipani seems to be most common. I wish we could grow one here but it is too cold in Winter.
Yea! A finished sketchbook, and one that's all decorated! I've been really wanting to paint over my Etchr sketchbook covers as they get really grimy pretty quickly. I'll do it eventually! I loved seeing all your sketchbook pages - it brought back so many good memories of great paintings/videos that we've seen on your channel!
Thank you, and yes, I'd love to see you paint your etchr book cover! 😆
gorgeous
Thank you 😌
Love your cover. I spent seven years on the Big Island of Hawaii. Your cover makes me homesick.
Enjoyed seeing your beautiful sketches again as well as enjoying your video.
Thank you.
Thank you! Oh it would be lovely to visit Hawaii....or anywhere tropical....or anywhere at all really. We're still in lockdown. 😳
wow, the cover turned out great! I think I saw all of the videos from this sketchbook. I have just recently discovered your channel and seeing/hearing the joy from all of the artsy projects makes me joyous too! And inspired, of course 😁
Thank you, I appreciate that! ❤
the cover painting really finishes up the sketchbook 😀
Thank you! It needed something because it looked so blank, and also grubby from being scuffed about.
All amazing. Love those "Tulpen". .... thanks for let us see all of this. Gorgeous 💐👏😍
Danke ☺️
@@BeckyTregear bitte. Sehr gerne
Beautiful sketchbook and pictures. Very relaxing video, Becky. Have a nice weekend. V.
Thank you, and you too!
Hi Becky. Thank you for sharing. Your cover art turned out great. Bright and vibrant. I’m impressed with what the sketchbook can take, and impressed with your content. 🙂🦋
Thank you! That sketchbook can take a beating and huge amounts of water and ink, so it's really versatile. ❤️
Wow, 👍👍 I'm going to watch my friend's amazing and new video. Continue in the next video....
The paint on the toast palette makes it look like it has various jams and jellies on it
Haha! I mean I could have kept it for food, but now paint has been on it, it will stay in the studio. It is a most excellent palette and easy to clean! 😊
I love all of the drawings. They are so beautiful
Thank you 😊💗
Beautiful becky, I've done pumpkins on the cover of one of mine
Oooh that sounds really lovely! And perfect for your upcoming Autumnal season. We are into windy Spring and all the blossoms have been coming out. 🌸
wowwwww, I really like how your beach scene turned out! I always love sketchbook flipthroughs, it makes me wanna finally fill up mine 😌 maybe I'll paint the front of mine too!
Oh you should, it is so much fun, and it really personalises your sketchbook. 😁
Really enjoyed this video Becky. I do remember some of the pages. Loved watching you paint the cover it turned out great 🌺😍
Thank you 😊
So satisfying to FINISH A SKETCHBOOK!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Well done Becky! You've inspired me to keep going with mine! 🤗🤗
It's very satisfying! Now to find more books to start. 😂
Really nice!
Hi Becky! I think I've seen all the videos made from this sketchbook and it was exciting to see you get to the end. Finishing a sketchbook is always a feeling of accomplishment. Have you decided what your next book will be to focus in? Thank you for the video and have a great weekend!
Oh that's so cool! An original viewer. 💜💕 I am not sure which book to use next, but I am halfway through the Primrosia one so I might try to finish that first. 😁
@@BeckyTregear I'm here for the long haul 😀 you got me through Covid and I've enjoyed all your content. I don't always comment, but I do give thumbs up.
It's been exciting watching your channel grow because yours is the first channel I've seen since it first started.
@@1Letter23Numbers. That is so cool, I really appreciate all of your support. And I hope to keep growing...it is slow but steady and I am amazed I have made it this far without giving up, lol.
What a lovely sketchbook - inside and out. Of course I have seen all of the videos, lol.
I have so many sketchbooks but I am not a sketchbook person. I try to force myself into the habit of painting in them but I always end up doing larger 'finished' artworks.
Thank you! I completely understand the sketchbook thing. It has only been the last few years that I have started keeping sketchbooks properly, but I still have plenty with only one or two pages filled. 😂
I have tried keeping diaries and journals but I am just HOPELESS with those!
@@BeckyTregear years ago I bought the Nature Journal book by John Muir. It is a fantastic and inspiring book. I bought a sketchbook and tried to get in the habit of nature journaling but after a few weeks I lost interest. Such a shame. I love looking at other people's work though.
It’s such a gorgeous and thorough sketchbook! I love the front and back cover paintings. I think I saw the point when I started to recognize the artwork from the book, so there were definitely some new ones in there for me! The Etchr sketchbook looks like it can take a LOT, especially because you’re using front and back. I’ll have to look into it🤯
It certainly took a beating! 😂 The paper holds loads of water and scarcely buckles at all, so I really enjoyed using it.
That was a great way to complete the book. Brilliant and creative. Nicely done.
Thank you 😊
I'm getting an A5 hot pressed for my birthday this year and am looking forward to giving it a go. I've been waiting for these sketchbooks to hit the US market, and Blick's art supplies finally got them! So I had to rejigger my list for my birthday order to fit the A5 into it. I'll remember to gesso the surface before I paint the cover though, thanks for that tip! I typically like hot pressed paper better for inking projects and such. Plus, sometimes the texture of cold pressed paper really bothers me. I love how your paintings turned out! I know this is late, but it helped me decide if I wanted to invest in Etchr for my next A5 sized journal.
I haven't tried the hot pressed paper; I hope it's good! And happy upcoming birthday. 😊
I wish I would finish my sketchbooks xD
Awesome work :)
I still have unfinished ones, haha! Thank you. ☺️
That was inspiring Becky, I’ve just started using my new A4 Etchr sketchbook & decided not to be to precious about it, just going to jump in and go for it. It’s so nice having 100% cotton paper to paint on in a book. I’ve been mainly using cut up sheets of 100% cotton watercolour paper and storing them is a pain it’s nice having everything in one place.
Oh that's great! I hope you enjoy your book as much as I loved using mine! I have another A4 one that I have yet to use, lol. I almost always start a sketchbook with the intentions of having it be one of those perfect aesthetic things with not a blemish or mistake to be seen, but then I get too impatient and it always ends up as a right old mess, lol. But I think it's fun having a busy sketchbook, and it feels a lot more authentic to me than trying to maintain some sort of "perfection". Also once it is messy, it makes it a lot easier to keep using. 😆
Love this! :)
Beautiful book my dear. love the cover. Have a etchr Sketchbook, too. But not so good in painting as you and have so much fear to paint the cover 🙂
Thank you! It was easier to paint on the cover once I had scuffed the book and made it dirty, haha. Sketchbooks show a journey of art learning, so it will reflect where you are now, and it's always fun to look back at them in later times. The hardest bit is painting that first stroke on the cover, and then the rest is a lot easier! You can do it. 🙂❤
I love how the front and back cover came out, I like the concept of the ocean scene behind the flowers. Also really enjoyed the flip through, if I had to pick a favorite I think it was M Graham painting of the iguana (I think it was a iguana? lol)
Thank you! I'm pretty sure it's an iguana, but I have been wrong before. In an early video I drew what I thought was a bearded dragon and it turned out to be a sailfin lizard which someone pointed out in the comments weeks later. 😂
Omg those hibiscus(es?? Hehe ) are gorgeous❤️❤️❤️ you are so so talented to go in free hand with them😱
Thank you! The peach one is pretty dodgy but overall I was happy they ended up looking like flowers, haha!
I just got one of these and have been wondering what to do with the cover. I might paint it first since it's clean and fresh, although I don't have any gesso or acrylic on hand. I wonder if anyone has done pour art on these. Although you'd have to tape off the cover well! In your Kuratake set I'd just start with the green provided, then mix yellow or blue or brown with it to adjust.
A pour would be an interesting experiment; I can see me making a huge mess and getting it all over the paper inside though; far too risky, haha!
good work..
keep it up and stay connected with us Thanks
