Let's enjoy some restful art ideas that you can easily apply to fill your own sketchbook! I'm using watercolor paints for all of these ideas, but you don't necessarily need to use watercolor yourself! I made sure all of these ideas are easy and approachable enough that you can tackle them with any medium you desire. My biggest hope is this video just gives you a sense of inspiration, and inspires you to rest. :)

Oooo loving the colours you picked for the tiger illustration!!
Eeee thank you!! 💜💜 I hope you’re both doing well! 🥰
“Comparison is the thief of joy.” One of my favorite quotes. I love this laid back vibe.
Omg I don't know how this is gonna be but I can guarantee that this is just what I needed! I've taken an interest in watercolor lately, so your video came at the perfect time!
Yay, glad to hear! I hope you enjoy the video!
Right now I’m actually obsessed with watercolors recently too.
That city scape you painted would make a beautiful crocheted blanket pattern and it would be pretty easy to do too. I love those colors together, so pretty.
I keep wanting to paint so badly but I never know what to paint! I'm so excited to watch this! I hope you're doing well Mira 🌺🌿
I hope this gives you some fun ideas! 💜
Omg Naomi
I have this too with drawing. What can help is drawing/doodling on some freely pages, that often gives me an idea.
Your here Naomi lol
@@MiraByler yes!,😂😊
I’m kinda sick rn and can barley sit upright, have have been in bed for last 24 hours and I saw your video when I first opened my TH-cam. And the way you speak is making me so calm and serene like I can get up right atm and start painting with you 😫 I love the way your videos are neverrr ever noisy or have that high pitched voice!! Thank you so much for all this 🥺🥺😭😭💜💜
Mira! Congratulations on your pregnancy!! I'm so happy that you're able to start the new year with much more positivity. And this sketchbook video was awesome. I love it when you make these. Also bonus excitement for the watercolor palette setup! The pieces today were very inspirational and I can't wait to try them!
I do the swatch page (or pages if inspiration doesn't come quickly), and I've found those pages very helpful. I like the pages for reference and of course that they take up those first few (sometimes dreaded) pages.
BTW, I love these videos! I'm planning on sketching tomorrow because my bestie bought me new, fancy mechanical pencils. Seems kind of simple, but it's oh so special since it's from someone I love. Thinking of sketching some moths now!
The page with the tiger drawing is my favorite! 😻Also I love how you always remind us to go easy on ourself and to do art for fun and not to stress or force ourself. That´s a great message.
Pregnant with twins! So exciting! I am a twin and love it. You’re adorable so I can see you being such a sweet momma
I love that you’re demonstrating self care and sharing your awesome ideas! I really enjoy your approach to your creative process. I just started opening up to my creativity with water colors and you inspired me to get started! Enjoy this time in your life, slow down and soak in the experience because it really goes by so quickly! I wish you peace, serenity and calmness during your pregnancy!
The last page, the tiger was my absolute fave! Powerful animal, and also a powerful advise you gave 💜beautiful
I cant explain how absolutly relaxing it was!! All the ideas are awesome and it inspired me so much!! Honestly i struggle with watercolours and i endup adding too many layers and potentially ruining it....and you taught me to be patient and enjoy the process💜 Thank you very much!!
PERFECT TIMING!!! I am so excited, I've been drawing the same thing and needed something new. Can't wait to watch!
My New Years resolutions were just to try to be happier with what I have, as well as getting more exercise and Bible studying 😊💕
You sound just like me! My sister and I made a goal to "shop our stash" because we need to use our Blessings! I definitely need to add more time with my Bible, and so we went to a used book store and found used Bible Study workbooks that had no writing in them and we are studying the book of Daniel together. Exercise is something I need and don't do...so I'm starting with walking! You have great goals...you can do it!!!
Thank you so much... Rest is good and having fun is important.. Enjoy your babies
"We don't have to be productive everyday" - I'm going to brushletter and hang it on my wall. Thank you, that's exactly what I needed ❤️ :)
Hi Mira! I just ran across your page today! Looks like I will be up all night watching your videos! I’m 70 and just started painting a couple of months ago. I’m loving it! ❤🖌️🎨❤️
This was a well timed video; I've had one of those days where absolutely nothing went right in the studio and I got myself all worked up because I "wasn't being productive enough" and felt guilty over it etc...that old story! Your tiger painting was a great reminder that some days it is better to rest and relax rather than stressing out over everything. Thank you. 😊
I found your channel a couple months ago. I cant draw or paint. I'm 53 and first time ever got a journal. I did your tiny painting and it worked out quite good considering I cant paint. Thank you so much. I'm subscribing
You're one of the few artists who say that you don't need to draw/make art every day. THANK YOU for that!
When I started watercolour painting I watched many videos on youtube and everyone's always like "You have to paint/draw every day to get better"... and you really don't. Art is a hobby for me, I only make art when I feel like it and that's mostly because I have a tonne of other hobbies that makes my priorities for them rotate.
And... I didn't paint every day and I still got better at watercolour painting :)
Congratulations on the twins Mira!!! You are gonna be the best mother of 2 ever!! Can't wait to hear more about your little bundles of joy!! 💜🫶🥰
Yay, I'm sooooo excited. I haven't found something to draw especially with watercolor, I especially love the tiger illustration. Your videos are so fun and inspiring. Also congratulations 🎊. Hope feel good and I can't wait to see more inspiring videos like this.
Your face is radiating with a glow.....your videos are awsome....please keep inspiring....all the best for the big endeavor ahead....I am a mother too....with twins you got your work cut out.......All the best.
LOVE your beginning new sketchbook!!!! Can’t wait for all those creative items to come to reality!!!!! Also congratulations on your pregnancy!!! I think it would be absolutely amazing for you to make a couple of pictures ( for your own personal use) with the names of your babies in the whimsical style, like the tiger!!! I think it would be absolutely adorable!!! That would be such a wonderful and precious gift for your children to have as they grow older!!! Just an idea!!! Please continue to let your creativity grow!!! 😃👍👍👍
Congratulations! Very excited for you, being a mom is such an amazing part of my life. I know it will be for you and your family as well. Loved the video!
Mira - I'm so excited for you and your family! I really enjoyed this video. Very chill vibe. Great start to 2022! I'm so glad you've already set the boundaries for how often you'll post going forward and from your previous video - boundaries of how and when you'll be sharing those two beautiful nuggets you're growing! Known boundaries help us all! Please don't be upset with us when we all say "show us pictures!" it's just the excitement we feel for you both!
Congrats and rest! It's good!
I loved this video Mira! So relaxing to watch and an inspiration to us all. You have a wonderful week 😊💕
Glad you liked the video, Sarah! I hope you and your fam had a wonderful holiday season. 💜💜
Love this video. I'm currently doodling with paint in my sketchbook with my 3 yr old playing dolls in the same room :) And, I'm a twin! My twin sister is my best friend. I'm so happy for you! Thank you for your calm voice and creativity.
Thank you! I am so happy for your little bundles of joy! So exciting! I really look forward to these sketchbook ideas.
Yay I literally just sat down with my pencils 👍👏👏👏👏🎉💕🤗
Great ideas for me to start! I've just begun to paint, and I draw a huge ol' blank when I think of starting my sketchbook! Thank you
I always get excited to see a new video from you, but I’m glad you take time once in a while. These are some of my favorite videos that you do. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. :)
Thank you for this session. It was a great way for me to start the long weekend feeling relaxed and inspired. The ideas are so approachable. I love the tiger and the way that page developed
Thanks Mira, I really enjoyed this video (as usual). I will miss your weekly videos but totally understand that you need to change your priorities - including more rest! Preparing for new family members takes time too and then getting to know them when they arrive will also take time. Enjoy this exciting time in your life and take care. 🌼
Love love love your ideas for filling sketchbooks! Great ideas and your personality is so fun and inspiring. Please keep these up!
Thank you for all these ideas and for inspiring me to paint something today!
Hey Mira, I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy watching your videos. I love how peaceful, yet bright and cheerful they are! I also 100% agree with what you were saying about resting and I need to remember more often that I don't have to be "productive" 24 7 because sometimes the most productive thing is to rest.
Mira, I love your outlooks and artistic style! Rest is good!!! This was fabulous. I hope you and your babies are wonderful!
Thank you for your video. I enjoyed the sketchbook ideas and your words of wisdom.
Love everything you do! I too cannot do the hustle culture....as I am a disabled nurse... it was really difficult to learn that all the loving care I gave to others, I deserved too!
That Tiger! Swoon....BTW as of February 1st its is the Chinese New Year of the TIGER!
I love how you are so kind to yourself and encourage the rest of us to do the same. I am totally with you on the resting thing. I don't like hustle culture either. My husband struggles constantly, feeling like he has to do something. I know he is frustrated by that, but isn't sure how to break that mindset. I love your tiger page!
Thank you so much for this video! So much healing to my heart! You're such an inspiration!
Congratulations! And thank you for this video. This is *exactly* what I've been needing! I'm a relative beginner to watercolor and as someone with motor control issues, it has taken me years to learn to create basic shapes, etc, so that sketchbook paintings help me relieve stress. Now I'm learning gouache, and its relative heaviness has set me back to square one. The sketchbook was becoming a *source* of stress. Here. however, you lay out some ideas that are achievable and enjoyable! And they teach brush control. So thank you for helping me get back to enjoying this beautiful palette of jelly cup gouache!
I love watercolor! Thanks for another great video! Enjoy your rest!❤
I’m so excited I know how hard your worked on this one!
I love this video and I'm only on the 2nd idea. I've been wanting to get more into my paints as one of my themes for 2022 is to CREATE!
I love the tiger illustration 😍
Thank you, this is beautiful, you've realy helped me!
I'm so excited 😊 thank you I hope you're feeling better
I really like the art that anyone can do with easy to get, cheap materials. Thank you.
PREGNANT with TWINS? CONGRATULATIONS! That is wonderful.
I LOVE you, thanks for all your work for us 🥺🥺💙
So lovely to have come across your channel. Makes me very happy. And congratulations on two babies.....I hope you're feeling wonderful.
I can’t wait to start some of the ideas! I’m starting with the lines and water color one it looks so fun!
I love your videos so much. Your voice is very calming and I love cleaning my room, doing some art things or doing homework while watching your videos. Especially when I'm painting or drawing. Also congrats on the twins you're going to be an amazing mom and they are so lucky!!❤
I like your ideas and your mood on creativity very much!
I really like your idea of making your art goals mental goals. I think I’ll actually make some goals now. Thanks for the inspiration!
You are so amazing at art and an amazing mom already, you inspired me to get back into art
Thank you Mira brilliant ideas
Love love love the tiger and the meaning ❤ I had emergency gallbladder surgery right before New Years, and it's been hard to be okay with the idea I still need to rest and not push myself. Keep up the great work, and congrats again on the twins!
So sorry to hear about your surgery - I hope you’re recovering well and being kind to yourself. 💜 You are so strong! Sending lots of love your way. And thank you! 👶🏻👶🏻
Omg congratulations to you and your love!!! I’m so stinkin happy for you both so much! Twins!!! Ahhh I love it! You’re going to be such an amazing and fun mom! Sending extra blessings and joy your way💞💕
What a calming video❤
Congrats on the babies🎀🎀
I love your ideas. Thank you.
I've been waiting for another one of these! there probably my favorite videos that I can watch over and over.
You are super! I really love your videos. Very inspiring, thank you.😀
Mira, I wait for these videos for soo long, they are so much fun, I tried some of your ideas and they were so relaxing and really enjoyable (I tried the ideas from your older videos)
You are glowing! I love the ideas I just started a new sketch book too,so thank you 😊 and God bless also keep resting and resetting!🤗👌👋
So excited to watch this!!
Thanks Mira, your talk about rest came on a good day for me as I was very unproductive today and feeling bad about it. You created a safer space for me .
I've been anxiously waiting for this yay 🙌
Your videos are always so positive. That looks like a really thick Sketchbook too
Learning how to paint
Need ideas for cards.
Love your show.
My new years resolution this year is to draw as many tigers as I can so that I can compare the first and last one at the end of the year. The reasons is that drawing tigers terrify me and intimate me, and it's the year of the tiger (lunar new year is coming up so I am gathering my courage until then) and I'm born in the year of the tiger so I truly want to be good at drawing tigers. It feels like a celebration goal where all year I just celebrate me being me and grow in the process. I also want to learn watercolor this year so I am double excited to the idea that I can try to create tigers in all kinds of mediums and various ways of creativity. 😍 congrats on the pregnancy!
Hi Mira, I love your videos , you inspired me to keep painting and your videos help me to relax when I’m stressed thank you so much 😊
Your videos really give me peace 🖤
I love these videos so much!!! Watching and listening to you paint the tiger nearly put me to sleep!! 💛💛
Thank you, thank you! It is so nice to hear a successful person like you who isn't pushing the "hustle culture" as you put it.
Mira I enjoyed this video so much!!! I have the exact same candle as you as soon as you lit it I was like that's like mine I adore your art you are such an inspiration to me thank you for posting these, and congratulations!!!!!
Such fun. Thank you for you. Continued prayers for you and yours.
Awesome ideas. Thank you. Enjoy resting. Those little ones don't mind at all. Take care.
Gaawd! I'm so glad I found your channel! And just before 2023!❤️🌼
I was soo exited from the community post and now i can watch it yayy
Yay! I hope you enjoy it! :)
I love this. I need to make a goals page. A huge goal this year is to allow myself to be happy and to rest. The last few years have made me afraid of being happy and optimistic but I’m ready to push past it. I also want to relax more and play video games again!
What nice ending. Love it. Rest in deed🙏🏼😎
This was great!!! So therapeutic! Love the Tiger Rest page!!!!! Thanks, Mira!!!
when i get an ink bleed: *D E A T H*
when mira gets an ink bleed:
*looks like a cute lil storm cloud* 😀
OMG! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel! Loved this video!
Thank you 🌺 ... you make art, drawing easy do what i am feeling
Beautiful ideas and very inspiring and I can’t wait to start my own sketchbook ❤️🌺🌸🐅
I love when you make these videos! I hope you can make more when you have the time!
Loved these ideas and I like your guidance. A lot of videos out there about filling sketchbooks/ideas are either unattainable for newer people, or too complicated.
Love u mira hope u are safe take care of u and ur babies 💖
Omg I love these ideas!!!!
Thank you for this Mira. I really look forward to your sketchbook ideas but your message here, I really needed that. I entered IG for the hope of seeing my improvement in watercoloring but it only made me feel bad about my art then I thought, why should I? My art, my rules. As long as it makes me happy. That's my purpose in the first place why I started watercoloring: to please me and not others. Thank you Mira! ❤️
Thank you, Mira!
Your videos are so soothing and relevant to me artistically and personally. ❤️
I think it's fantastic that you are giving yourself kindness and rest, growing humans is physically difficult. I didn't even have twins and I was exhausted.
Make sure to keep taking those naps!
So many great ideas! Also, you being such a kind and happy person you're going to be a great mom😊
Really great ideas Mira, I like all of them. I don't really draw well,but I do have a sketch book I want to start. Thank you for sharing, congratulations on your babies to come, so happy for you and your hubby.
I’ve been wanting to try it for a while now and finally jumped in with your free month trial with skillshare. Thank you! I’m looking forward to learning more since I’ve never been able to take art classes. Also loved the sketchbook ideas video, so relaxing to watch as well💕
Yay! I hope you enjoy your free month. It’s helped me so much with art and learning how to use a video camera! 💕💕
Congratulations! Hope all is well. I will be using some of these ideas in my new sketchbook. I'm just starting to get back into drawing.
