【 Real-Time 】Express My Love of Life in Ink and Watercolor Sketches | Life in Montreal

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing with you a weekend in my new life in Montreal. On Saturday evening after dinner, I took a walk in my neighborhood and sketched a red brick house bathing in the evening sunshine. On Sunday, I went to a bookstore with my friend and I spent half an hour sketching the interior of the store. Please watch the video until the end to learn lots of techniques to sketch and paint street scene and interior. 😊🎨
🎨 Materials I used:
- Etchr black graphic Drawing Pens
- Etchr watercolors (24 half pans)
- The Perfect Sketchbook from Etchr
- Holbein Water Brush (large tip)
- Deserres water brush (medium tip)

I just found your channel a few days ago, shortly after I began my first sketchbook. I love your videos. You are a wonderful teacher! I really appreciate the reminders for simplicity, relaxation, and not trying to be perfect. I have learned so much in just a few days. Thank you!

It’s lovely to see another video. It’s so soothing to watch your painting grow and develop. You give very good advice and tips.

[@user-ww4il3pt6x]

You are a very good teacher, i enjoy watching you.

[@thelavenderlatch]

Thank you for this lovely time of peaceful enjoyment. Also please keep telling us to loosen up and enjoy the process. I loose so much time trying to be perfect and my grip on my pen starts to hurt my fingers. I will get better though, I really believe that.

[@BeckyCao]

You can do it! ☀️🌈☺️

[@SharonFoster852]

So many wonderful ideas in this one short video! But above all, relax! We're not trying for photorealism -- that's for cameras, and we're humans, not cameras!

[@darlenemc3586]

Hello! I bought the sketchbook you recommended and found myself too afraid to touch it with paint! I've been painting on a cheaper watercolor paper that buckles easily. Thank you for your excellent videos. You are a great teacher.

[@BeckyCao]

Oh! Did you get the Etchr sketchbook? ☺️ Just focus on the experience seeing the beauty in the everyday, and record your sensations with lines and paint. Sketches don't need to be as perfect as photos or paintings to frame. It will be a precious record of your life's moments.

[@darlenemc3586]

I did buy the Etchr sketchbook and its so well made and worth the money. and this is the reason I am afraid. Thank you for putting it into perspective regarding painting life's moments as a record. I forget about the meaning of it all as I try to be perfect, when it's all about painting a lovely journal and having fun. thank you!

[@user-ww4il3pt6x]

If you were to think of all the stories that are in the books it could be a noisy place .

[@user-ww4il3pt6x]

Why did you move?
