I love watching you sketch Becky. I like how you keep it simple. I don't often do when on wet. That's something I'll try more of. I also like how you compose your page. The text explaining your method is great! Thank you
What specifically are your brushes? I mean what type and size. I know you mentioned Winsor & Newton. Also do you use the same tools if you sketch in a much smaller sketchbook?

I like how you keep the whole picture, the essence of an object or a scenery, before your inner eye, and don't lose yourself in every tiny detail (like I do).

[@SteviePaints]

Very nice, Becky! It is so fun to watch you draw. Thanks for the ideas on layout and filling the page!

[@WorldWideWebObserver]

Really like the mix of every day objects and the two scenes in the frames. Great double page entry.

Lovely work. Of all the sketches I've seen by sketchers on youtube I like yours the most. What is that beautiful music playing? Where can I get a copy of it? If I were allowed only one video and one piece of music which I had to consume on a loop it would be this.

[@asheburnett]

I love this version of art journaling! What sketchbook is this?

[@BeckyCao]

Thanks! It's a Moleskine Watercolor Album.

[@lvptayehze7205]

I will like to know your sketch book size and. paper suitable for watercolor?thank you

[@lvptayehze7205]

good morning 工 like to know Your Size of journal. and brand
It seems suitable for watercolor well

[@nadjabezjak9663]

I see you are using different brand of watercolor and only 14 colors 😊 What colors do you have in your palette? And of course great work as always 😊

[@BeckyCao]

Hi Nadja, it is Mungyo watercolors. 😊 I can do a review of this palette in a video. I have the essential colors like ultramarine blue, viridian green, lemon yellow, yellow ochre, burnt Sienna, and magenta.

[@nadjabezjak9663]

Becky Cao yes please, it would be nice to know what is in your current palette and how this colors behave on the paper. I change my palette every now and than from only 6 colors to 24 and than back to only 6 again 😊 Most of the time I use only 6 colors. I’m using Schmincke Horadam. I also tried Rembrandt but this colors are to thick and I don’t like them.

[@Skinnychelle48]

Pretty! What kind of journal r u using?

[@BeckyCao]

This one is a Moleskine watercolor album A4 size. :)
