Instead of fighting the plastic wrap roll, re-use it. I have a piece about the size of w/c paper (9"x12") that I keep handy. When done, I just rinse it off and let it dry. I keep 2 or 3 piece by my desk. I scrunch it and can fit into a tiny space. I like your channel and doodle in my sketchbook in the AM when having my tea. Great way to start the day....with art!!! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the tip! You should have seen me! It was ridiculous how long it took me to just reach out for the pieces I had used 🤣🫣 I’m so grateful that my videos can keep you company and you enjoy them! ❤️
These sketchbook videos have been a building block for me to get started in this hobby. It’s only been since July that I have been working on a sketchbook. Everything has been inspired by your videos so far.
Hello Paula! I really enjoyed your ideas and tutorials how to fill your sketchbook with your great ideas! I love it! That’s why I subscribed! Thanks for sharing! Love your ideas!
I bet that plastic wrap idea would work great on a scene through a frosted window! Thanks for the idea. I 've recently been practicing painting rainy scenes through glass and I can't wait to do some winter ones with the plastic wrap.
Another fun batch! I don’t know how you keep coming up with these. I’m sure you’ve heard from everybody that the little mockups are so fun, but I’m dying to see you start doing these on a large scale! 🖤
What wonderful tips Jane, just came across your channel thank you so much for sharing will definitely be having a go. Wishing you a happy painting day😊
These sketchbook ideas are so inspiring! 🎨 I love how they push creativity beyond the usual boundaries, especially the one about experimenting with different mediums. It's a great reminder that our sketchbooks can be a playground for creativity, not just a place for polished work. Thanks for sharing these tips!
Loved the plant and who doesn't like glitter gel pens - so much fun. Definitely doing the plastic wrap tomorrow and I have some bubble wrap that would be a fun texture exercise. I think the plastic wrap might work better with only three complimentary colors, we'll see.
One thing I love the most using watercolors is their overlapping, creating beautiful and interesting patterns. First one reminds me of a map at some points, idea just popped up in my head for recreating an old painting of mine with this method.. 4:02 argh I hate when that happens 😑 My favourite is idea with 🌈circles and flower and one with the leaves. Btw love your nails color 😍
So much in this video! Thank you for the many hours you must have spent editing to get it just right. I’m ready to try some new things and you are inspiring me.
Amazing exploration process, and beautiful surprises too! and your creativity boosting prompts are absolutely what I need, as usual I’ll be back to rewatch while I doodle and explore… and even go for a walk😂❤ learning to practice repetition and persistence has been hard to do but sooooo rewarding and helpful. I’m discovering new things I like almost every day!
Yes! You definitely inspire me. I've been working in my art journal everyday and am having such fun! I love the circles too and paint this to turn into ornaments on Christmas cards. I sprinkle a little silver and gold with pens and definitely use different glitter gel pens because who doesn't like shiny at the holidays!😄😁
I love shiny everyday!!! Haha a lot of my artwork has gold on it! It makes me really happy! Thank you for letting me know I’ve inspired you! Makes me super grateful and happy!
I think that was the missing key, if you will, in my paintings. That being just the freedom to do what comes to my mind. I’m always amazed at what comes out of the process of thinking and drawing.. When I go back over my painting journals I’m fascinated by a series of very dark harsh paintings in comparison to light and happy paintings and all the “in betweens”. It is like the interbeing expressing an emotion.
I am so happy that I find you Creative Paula on TH-cam. From past several weeks I was watching your videos and I have learned so much, it’s just wonderful. I had quite good career in finance and I am want to drawing and painting. For the beginner with a bit of experience in the past, your channel is incredibly good catching for learning and just good companionship. I have seen your shop and I love it. You really inspired me and I got focused on important things to do daily. You are great companion and lovely artist. Thank you for your work you put into your channel and into your shop. Thank you very much ❤
Hi Paula ive been mia the past few weeks just wanted to drop a comment to let you know i have been enjoying your art each week just havent been into commenting still dealing with the anxieties of losing my mom but im coming back around and getting life back in order...just wanted you to know i have been here and truely enjoying the time watching your art tantrums and your lovely pieces again thank you so much for helping me during this time in my life
Hi!!!! I’m so happy to hear from you! Be patient and loving with yourself, all the feelings are ok, it’s a process and in sure each day you’ll feel a little better. Sending much love
The leaves are so pretty!! 🌿 I love the toilet roll hearts!! ❤ I never knew circles could be so pretty!! 🌈 Learning to play with art supplies sounds fun!! 🤗😍
Can you please show sketchbook ideas that you could do in a doctors waiting room or on an airplane for example. Where you wouldn’t be able to use anything that may spill. By the way, I love that second one with the flowers!
Sure, thinking of any medium in particular? Because I have a video on ideas with just a pen th-cam.com/video/S35tli21hMo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Yi3ujUvywr7fft6F
Not sure if anyone else has said or saw in the 1st exercise at the bottom left of the page. I saw clear as day a cats head, just turn the page one quatre to the left, it may make it easier to see. Love ypur ideas and like it will get me more confident with my watercolours ❤
Thank you so much! I actually painted that one! Here's the video th-cam.com/video/0TfndwbGf3g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mYoWZRjze0A385Jh it's one of my oldest one haha so I apologize if it's not great :)
Can you please show sketchbook ideas that you could do in a doctors waiting room or on an airplane for example. Where you wouldn’t be able to use anything that makes spill.
Thanks! I love it, super quality and I love that they are colorful and inspirational !!! But tbh you’ll do great with two round brushes from a craft set… at least for the sketchbook These are literally my only nice brushes 😊
How is the mock up done. Going from sketch book art to a huge picture on the wall. Please let me know I have a lot of personal art I would love to enlarge, thank you G.
Hi! For mock ups I just use Smartist App. For real enlarged prints I take a really good image of my artwork and I have it reproduced with professional printers on canvas
Well I would lean into their “hate” and see what happens with that… if you see the first pages of the sketchbook I’m using now to develop my next paintings you would think someone who’s never held a brush painted them! Lean into the disaster; “ruin” a few pages, and something will start to take form!

I am sooo delighted that I came across your sketchbook series. So inspiring for this South African retired woman.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! And welcome!!! So happy to have you here! ❤️
Loved the circles!
You are my new favorite channel to watch I love your ideas how not to think about what you're doing and just paint I love that 🤩
Wow, thank you! That really means a lot! ❤️
The plastic wrap creates such lovely textures!
The hearts & leaves are my other favorites 💗
Thanks so much my friend 😊
I bet that plastic wrap idea would work great on a scene through a frosted window! Thanks for the idea. I 've recently been practicing painting rainy scenes through glass and I can't wait to do some winter ones with the plastic wrap.
That's a great idea! Let me know how it goes!
I love your vids! You're just so chill and I get a zen feeling every time you paint.

I love how to not only show us ideas, but explaining what you are going for. So helpful! Thank you, Paula
You are so welcome! Thanks!
Muy inspirador! Gracias por compartir tus increíbles ideas! 😊
Gracias Jime! 😘😘😘
Every time you do watercolors, I can't wait to get mine out and get busy too! These are such easy and pretty designs.
Thank you!!! That is absolutely the best compliment!
The little ceramic turtle with special paint from Kristy Rice is too adorable. Hope she comes out with sets and new colors.
It is super cute!
Another fun batch! I don’t know how you keep coming up with these. I’m sure you’ve heard from everybody that the little mockups are so fun, but I’m dying to see you start doing these on a large scale! 🖤
Thank you so much my friend! Hopefully now I’ll have time to tackle a bunch of canvases!
You forgot to mention bravery! It takes courage to take these chances!
Thank you so much! At first it really does! ❤️
This was so full of great and inspiring information! I love listening to you explain your process. You are a blessing….a very talented blessing.
You are so welcome! Thank you! So are you! ❤️

Number three reminded me of Brussels sprouts. That’s good if you like Brussels which I do. It turns out lovely.

When I go back over my painting journals I’m fascinated by a series of very dark harsh paintings in comparison to light and happy paintings and all the “in betweens”. It is like the interbeing expressing an emotion.
That’s the beauty of completing journals! Being able to look back at your past creations with so much fondness ❤️
Hé Paula I love the vids and it inspires me to draw more
I’m so happy they inspire you! ❤️ thank you!

Hi Paula. Thank you for sharing more of your great ideas. I'll have to try some of them. 😀
You are very welcome! I hope you have fun!
the result of the first one kind of looks like a map of italy to me, the plastic wrap is a really genius idea :D
It also reminds me of Italy too 😁
The leaves are so pretty!! 🌿 I love the toilet roll hearts!! ❤ I never knew circles could be so pretty!! 🌈 Learning to play with art supplies sounds fun!! 🤗😍

My way of thanking you for your super beautiful and encouraging words! ❤️ thanks again!
Amazing art
I love your videos! Thank you for your candor! What do you use for your mock-ups?
Thank you!!! I use Smartist App
Not sure if anyone else has said or saw in the 1st exercise at the bottom left of the page. I saw clear as day a cats head, just turn the page one quatre to the left, it may make it easier to see.
Love ypur ideas and like it will get me more confident with my watercolours ❤
Thank you so much! I am very happy they are helpful 😊
I love all of your art! I’m curious what app you use to make them look framed on the wall.
Thank you! I use Smartist ☺️
I really enjoy your videos🥰. I would love to know where you purchased your lucky cat artist, as I would really like to get one.
Thank you so much!
I actually painted that one! Here's the video th-cam.com/video/0TfndwbGf3g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mYoWZRjze0A385Jh it's one of my oldest one haha so I apologize if it's not great :)
I love these ideas. Thank you. What is the name and size of your sketchbook?
Thank you so much! I’m using this one amzn.to/4en0UAy 5.5x8.5”
Can you please show sketchbook ideas that you could do in a doctors waiting room or on an airplane for example. Where you wouldn’t be able to use anything that makes spill.
Very nice exercises... (tell me, do you love the brush set? is it worth it?) Thx
Thanks! I love it, super quality and I love that they are colorful and inspirational !!!
But tbh you’ll do great with two round brushes from a craft set… at least for the sketchbook
These are literally my only nice brushes 😊
4:10 instead of cling wrap, I re-use plastic shopping bags and the plastic bags from produce purchases
That’s the best tip ever!!! Thank you! I’m going to try that today!! ❤️
How is the mock up done. Going from sketch book art to a huge picture on the wall. Please let me know I have a lot of personal art I would love to enlarge, thank you G.
Hi! For mock ups I just use Smartist App.
For real enlarged prints I take a really good image of my artwork and I have it reproduced with professional printers on canvas
You should have some scissors nearby, so you can cut the saran wrap easier and quicker. Better luck in the future. 😅
Where do you get it blown up to such a large size, how much does it cost and how much does a frame cost?
That you would have to check with your local print shop and framers. You can get an idea of how much canvas prints are on Shutterfly
What kind of sketchbook/paper are you using?? like is it watercolor paper, mixed media or just normal sketchbook paper?
I’m using a watercolor paper sketchbook, it’s a Canson paper one; I’ve linked it in the description 😊
water colors hates me xD !!! we always have a fight when i try to play with them!! any advise?
Well I would lean into their “hate” and see what happens with that… if you see the first pages of the sketchbook I’m using now to develop my next paintings you would think someone who’s never held a brush painted them! Lean into the disaster; “ruin” a few pages, and something will start to take form!
Hello
👋🏼
Can someone hide the plastic wrap please!
=)
U shud put yr plastic wrap in freeza nxt, it dies stick together
Thanks for the tip!
@@bycreativepaula did u understand any of that?🤣( next time does not …
@@samkhan2303 haha I did! I just assumed you wanted to say “doesn’t”
