It is one of my favorite sketchbooks because of the small size but I love the paper. Hope you give this exercise a try, it is just so much fun with endless possibilities!
You have totally inspired me to pursue daily Sketchbook practice. I am currently following a format like your 100 day project, but this gives me another option after exploring my palette in three color mixes. Oh! And Holbein Davy’s Grey and Mijello Shell Pink have both been ordered recently. Thank you so much for your TH-cam content! Many blessings to you!
Your new book is really beautiful. I love the inspirational ideas you have. I picked up some leaves yesterday and and they are full of lovely colors. I spent some time last night painting a leaf in detail, matching the colors from the colors inmy palette. It is rewarding and relaxing to be able to replicate the colors and textures. So many beautiful inspirations are literally in our own back yards! Thank you, Kelly.
I ordered the book as soon as you opened it!.. so pretty!... just recieved it and so excited to start enjoying the fun journey!... thanks for sharing... absolutely love your style and colors!. I love nature and leaves so this is perfect for me!.. thanks Kelly🤎💚❤💛🤎.
I love this! I actually bought this book a while back and haven't had a chance to look through it. I could do this with my yard full of native plants! 🥰
Oh my goodness!! I loved this video and all your great ideas. I feel really silly because I have a bunch of paints in tubes that I don't use often because it's just not handy. I have empty half pans and will be getting a box for them. THEN I'll be making a box up and swatching the colors. Thank you for this idea. I loved seeing your sketch book! It's just beautiful. Your colors and your paintings are beautiful. I love the book that you showed us as well. Looking forward to your videos. I just subscribed to your lovely chanel! I'm Susan in AZ🥰🏜️
This is beautiful! I really wish I could do this. However, I’m a rank beginner; only been painting for about four months. But I’m putting on my wish list for a goal to aspire to.
This is a great exercise for beginners. Start simple, what do you see as the basic color? Let's say yellow. Start by slowing adding one color to see what wonderful mixes you come up with. Make some notes about what you liked, found interesting and would like to do more studies on. Art is about continued practice and growing from doing it. You've got this, I promise!
I love this book and her Instagram! Her color matching is amazing and she has so many great examples. I remember being intrigued by her shell series with all the subtle shifts of whites (not really white), grays, blues, and purples. I have been pondering how to create a similar swatching practice and love your idea. And your grid template was brilliant…leaving the wider edge and bottom so that you can easily line it up on the page. Love that! Thanks for another great video!
I totally agree, she has inspired me for years and the book is one that is constantly reached for. The shell series was gorgeous and the tones were just heavenly. So happy you were inspired by the practice and the grid, thank you!
Ooh, this book is going straight onto my Christmas list! How beautiful it is and I love your variation on it x it is, as always very inspiring. I like the little sketchbook too - after seeing them in one of your earlier videos I bought one for my last holiday. Only 8 more pages to fill…. 😊
Yeah, so happy a sketchbook is getting used regularly!!! I knew it would be a hit on the channel since swatching and nature go hand-in-hand on here. Love that it is on your Christmas list, so fun!
I just ordered Lorene Edward Forkner's book because of your review! And your paintings have allowed me to see nature in all stages... I will now paint flowers with a bruise, leaves that are past the green stage, etc. Thank you!
Lovely! I had seen this book in the shop before and quite liked it but didn’t think of a specific use. It’s a nice idea to repeat the exercise in a dedicated sketchbook
I have just moved to a new place, so this is a great idea to try! Thank you! I love swatching, and I like that you created a template to make them uniform.
Congratulations on a new place! Glad you were inspired by this and hope you do give it a try. I love the template and the color study so much, I already have another sketchbook started.
Thank you for subscribing, I appreciate that so much! I have a lot of different playlists, feel free to watch/listen to them as you create. I would love to be part of your inspiration!
OK--do not laugh at me. The caput mortem that you put your finger on in the video--go back at look at it on your video--it looks like a face and on the right side of the face is the ear--LOL--does anyone but me see this??? By the way, I have watched many youtube videos on art for about 4 years--You are now definitely in my top five. Love your teaching style and your work. I too am an avid nature and animal lover. Tina
OMGoodness, I am laughing at that tiny face. Great imagination and thank you for ranking me as one of your top five, I'm very honored. Do make sure to get on my newsletter list to take advantage of early bird discounts and weekly inspiration from me.

Don't you think that it is magical that inspiration is all around us? I wish more people would actually see it.

That is one of my favorite books! I have been following her in Instagram for quite awhile. I really like how you adapted this practice to your style!
Her Instagram account is just so dreamy. So happy to have inspired you with this sketchbook idea!
