I really enjoy watching you develop a piece in your sketchbook. I find myself reaching for my sketchbooks more and more after watching channels like yours. It’s such a nice mix of ideas, inspiration and eye candy!
Aah I'm so glad!! Thank you so much, so happy to have inspired you 🥰💜
This is the BEST art video I have seen online in a long time. Thank you SO much for all your tips, support and the sharing of your talent. I love to watch you paint. I think one thing you have, that I need to work on, is a light touch. I’ve seen you paint, and watched the paint or brush go a way you didn’t intend. You just incorporate it into what you’re doing and keep going. Your work is filled with joy and lightness. I think it’s because that is what you feel when you paint. You are dancing along the page, not looking back and all your work is light and filled with happiness. Thank you so much Katie!!❤
Wow, what an amazing comment, thank you so much! This has made my week already 🥰 So pleased that you found it helpful and that my answers really resonated! What a wonderful way to describe my work too, I so appreciate it 🌷🤗 Thank you!
I loved watching you create!!! I noticed you use Kurerate japenses watercolors ( almost like gouache right?) plus gouache also Luminance pencils are these your present supplies you use most in your sketchbooks??? Your work is eye-catching full of texture and color!!!!
Thank you so much! 🥰 Yes the Kuretake is like a mix of gouache and watercolour! Yes I'd say they're my most used supplies - I use luminance pencils in practically every piece I do, and sometimes vary the base layer between this Kuretake paint and traditional gouache 🤗
Speaking about the difference in looseness I’ve noticed that children’s illustrators in the US aren’t as loose as the ones in the UK. I’m not sure if that’s the same for fine art though because Sandi Hester has a very loose style doesn’t she? Lovely video Katie! x
Thank you Jessica, so good to hear your thoughts! Yes so true, Sandi's work is great example! I think I'm generally drawn to artists who are looser so perhaps not as noticeable for me because it's what I surround myself with, but it's a really interesting topic to think about!
Just bought that watercolor set, very pretty!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! 🥰
I really love your goat! What a fun and gorgeous piece ❤
Thank you so much Carolyn! 🥰
Some great tips in this video. Ive just started my TH-cam art channel and this video has gave me a boost to continue! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for watching -- best of luck with your channel! I've just subscribed, your style is wonderful! So detailed! 😍
@@KatieMoody thank you so much, I really appreciate it 🙂 looking forward to your next video 🙌✏️
I enjoyed watching this video a lot! Love how playful you are with your supplies 😊
Oh thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Great video, Katie! I really liked the goat (sheep) painting 😁
Thanks so much, Emma! 😊
I am struggle because of how my colors look in the real life vs how it looks like in other artist's photos and videos. They have so bright watercolor! And my are just bruh 😭. And I understand that this is filter which make them so bright, but I. WANT. IT. IN. REAL. LIFE and not just in photos. I am thinking about professional watercolor (Rembrandt), but stop myself 'cause its filter and not the guilt of my Van Gogh watercolors. Such a small problem, BUT AAAAAAHHHHH
Hehe aw I understand!! Sometimes I wish that real life was as vibrant as I make it in my art and sometimes I wish the other way around too 🙈 you may find neon colours (such as some gouache shades like opera rose) would work well for you! ☺️
That first question is really interesting and something I’ve never thought of! I’d love to try kuretake paints one day, they look like a fun middle ground between watercolour and gouache and I always love the colours 🥰
Same, it's definitely something I'm going to keep thinking about too and seeing what I notice from other illustrators in different countries! Oooh I think you'd love the kuretake paints, you hit the nail on the head there -- they really are a middle ground between the two and have really helped me fall in love with watercolour as I'm so used to gouache usually!
Wow those tulips you painted. So beautiful.
Thank you so much 😊
Oh, that goat in the field looks STUNNING! 🤩 I love the orange and white flowers.
Thank you so much! Such a fun one to paint 🥰
Always so insightful, Katie! Especially about making creating easy and less pressure on ourselves. It should be fun for us. And I really love watching your process. I find it so inspiring and calming! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 💛🥰 I think we naturally put a lot of pressure on ourselves (myself included!) but it's really about the process and the creating, rather than the end result. It's a good reminder for me too 😄
@@KatieMoody Most definitely! Plus we are our own harshest critics. So thank you again for the reminder to let loose and have fun with it! ❤️🤗
Such a nice video once again! Which red and green luminance pencil colours are you using here? Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! The red I used in this one was Anthraquinoid Carmine 580 - I also used a Dark Cadmium Orange 533 for the petals too! The greens used were Olive Yellow 015, Chromium Oxide Green 212 and Dark Phthalocyanine Green 719 🤗
@@KatieMoody thanks so much! These colours work so well with the Kuretake set. I also own that set and seeing these colours together with the luminance pencil colours weirdly gives me a lot of joy haha! So knowing which ones they are is great! Thanks so much!!
@@krismip897 Haha yes I totally get that! It brings me a lot of joy too 🥰
Some great things to keep in mind on this video! Very inspiring ✨ thank you. I love watching you create in your sketchbook and seeing how you apply your layers and textures so quickly. Especially while I am trying to loosen up with my own art! Coming from tight, time consuming, realistic pet portraits has really caused a problem for me when trying to be more free with my art and to not focus on details so much! 😅
Oh thank you so much! I totally get that!! I actually used to do really realistic work too - when I was in university I did a lot of realistic portraits drawn on Photoshop with my tablet! One of things I found really helped me to loosen up were short timed studies, I think that made a big difference 🤗 That way I really didn't have enough time to add in lots of details but learnt which bits I wanted to include to make a painting work!
I loved both of your paintings when I first saw them on Insta, your tulips are so vibrant and your goat is so cute, you always achieve such wonderful layers and textures😍 I’ve just received my Clairfontaine 20x20 sketchbook after your recommendation, first time using that brand but love the look of it in your videos. I’ve been trying to use sketchbooks more this past year and just have fun rather than feeling that I need everything to be ‘perfect’. I totally agree with you that we need to enjoy the process of creating and try to stop comparing or putting pressure on ourselves. Thank you for sharing🙏🏼
Thank you so much 🥰 Oooh I hope you love the sketchbook as much as I do! It took me a little bit to get used to the square format but now I absolutely love having that little bit of extra space to fill! My pleasure, I'm so glad you agree. Sometimes having a sketchbook and knowing we can just turn the page to create something new makes the world of difference! 🧡
@@KatieMoody Yes definitely, I'm discovering creating is so joyful when you take those perfectionist pressures away🧡 Looking forward to trying out my new sketchbook over on your Patreon once I've finished my night rota🥰
Exquisite 2:33 !!!

yeah you def need passion to be an artist, you need that drive and commitment to succeed in what you want to do since being an artist can sometimes can really suck lol😝
Hahaha 100% 🙈
Thank you for sharing your process!!! It helps us who have a too tight style.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching and commenting 🥰
Your art brings me such a refreshed and happy feeling. The looseness within your process really brings together the finished product! Its amazing seeing you using your sketchbook as a place to experiment and have fun. The colors you incorporate!! Such a beautiful way of creating. You have been inspiring my art bug more and more ❤
This has made my day, thank you so much 🥹 so happy to hear that’s how you see my work and even more wonderful that it’s inspired you too!
I'm so enjoying listening to this while getting some work done. Thank you Katie for sharing so much insightful information! And for sharing your process to make something
Aaah so pleased to keep you company whilst you work,. Laura! My pleasure, thanks for watching 🥰
Thank you so much Katie ! This is such a boost of inspiration needed when we question our inner self on how to get past the what should I do now , so to speak , A work always in progress as we maneuver our next project. Lovely work too ! You had me diggin' out my supplies & paint along with ya *smiles* Thank you again for your wonder Honey ! See ya in a few weeks. Shine on from Florida 🌅
Oh that makes me so happy to read, so pleased to have given you a boost of inspiration 🥰 Yes absolutely, I think it's SO normal to question ourselves but creating and working through these feelings will always help! Wishing you a wonderful week, thanks for your lovely comment 😊💛🌷
Love this! Tulips are beautiful flowers 💐 ☺️💖🤗
Thank you so much 😊 Definitely one of my favourite flowers! 🌷
Love the art you made in this video ✨ The tulips were so beautiful 💛 Do you remember what yellow, orange and red luminance you used on them? I’m slowly building my collection and I don’t have any yellow or red ones, the ones you used look really pretty. I have the light and dark green that you used, but not the mid toned one, so the name of that one would also be appreciated 😄 I really love the way you paint flowers, they always turn out so beautiful and loose. I don’t quite get that look when I try, but I’m certainly practicing on painting more loosely 😊
Aaah thank you so much 🥰 No problem, I'll list out all the pencil colours I used for the tulip piece below! I also recently bought a lovely red which is Permanent Red 061 which is more of a classic red than the darker red I used here which I also recommend! I'm always trying to balance a looseness with florals, I often find it's the hardest thing for me to not get too detailed with 😆
The pencils are: Yellow Ochre 034, Anthraquinoid Carmine 580, Dark Cadmium Orange 533 and the greens were Olive Yellow 015, Chromium Oxide Green 212 and Dark Phthalocyanine Green 719 😄 The mid-tone I think you mention is the Chromium Oxide one!
@KatieMoody That's my problem when trying to paint more loose, I always get a bit too detailed 😅 I always love the way you balance details and looseness 🥰 Thank you so much for the pencil names, they're definitely going on my list for what I'm buying next. I love the colours you recommended to me a whike back, so I really appreciate it 😄🩷
Found the goat link! Thanks Katie 👍😍
Yay! Thanks for watching Kathy 🥰
@@KatieMoody …. You did another fantastic job with that goat, you gave him the cutest little nose and mouth 🥰
another great video, thanks for sharing Katie
Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌷
