I’m going camping in a few days and always take some art supplies, I plan to work on this type of collage. I really enjoyed the process and randomness. Thank you!

[@lynnelarkin7548]

Roben-Marie, I am really enjoying watching all of your videos. I have a question. Do you gesso the papers before you start with pastels and watercolors?

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

You are most welcome and glad you are enjoying them. For most, I add a light coat of gesso mixed with water. I really like the sketchbook paper thin so I don't add too much!

[@s.baxter3891]

Love the methods you use, however, when I try that it looks like my little grandchild did it! LOL Is that instant coffee?

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Thanks! I have been doing it for many years. Yes, it actually instant espresso.

[@denisehug1911]

Ever since I found your channel, I've watched & enjoyed your videos. You make it look so easy, but when I try to be free, I don't like what I create. Question - Do you have an idea of where you're going before you start (for example you put in the leaf shapes right away) or do you wing it? Thank you.

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Thanks so much!! I pretty much wing it.! 😂

[@yesabenson]

These are lovely! Did you gesso your papers?

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Thanks so much! The base has a light coat of gesso.

[@KiwiJane1]

Had fun watching this, Roben-Marie! Could you please remind me the name/brand of that chunky green pencil? Update: nvm, I figured it out, it’s a Stabilo Woody in colour 570 (leaf green). I love it!

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

So glad you enjoyed it!!

[@yolandarayartist]

I like this process. What watercolor brush do you use? Thanks.

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Thanks so much! For mixed media I use Simply Simmons. I use them with all mediums.

[@cathyxox3999]

Wanted to see you paint them😢

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Sorry, not sure what you mean.

[@JacquiWil]

And then you started cutting up the ‘monkey’ page 😂 and stuck the monkey upside down 🙈 🤪🥰

[@RobenMarieSmithArt]

Interesting observation! Thanks for sharing
