If you have an art supply you haven’t used, and want ideas on how to use it; let me know! I would love to create ideas for you and your abandoned art supply! ❤
Even if it’s highlighters, I’m game! 😉
What about oil pastel? 🙂
You already got me to dig out my art supplies and use them today. I didn’t realize how much I needed this creative time, so finding your channel was a real gift💓💓I have a ton of mixed media materials such and would love any ideas you have for integrating things like yarn, chenille stems, and cut out images to make unique art. Thank you!
@@schragdenker5425 that’s a great idea! I think my kids might have some! 😊
@@laurakobetich9809 thank you so much! I’m super grateful this inspired you ❤️❤️❤️ I will note mixed media for a video idea! Thanks!
One of my favourite things about your channel is you show what the piece would look like as wall art. That is super unique and cool.
Thank you so much 😀 so happy you like that!
Just found you today! I’m 70 and only started painting in February. I love your work!
Welcome!!! And thank you so much! ❤️ perfect age to start if you ask me! 😊
@@bycreativepaulawhat perfect age to start?
@@ummabaninmarina yes! The age you decide to start IS the perfect age to start!!!!! 😊
Hi I am 68 and just getting started myself.I have everything but afraid to start 😊. I guess I am afraid of failure.
I just found your channel today and I am 68 and just starting out. I think you are so creative I love this video and will be binge watching to get started ❤️🙏😍🇨🇦👍
The page that you thought was ugly, I loved it and thought is was beautiful. I gasped when you started drawing the scribble lines. I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Love your videos.
Awww I’m sorry! 🫣 but thank you so much at the same time!!! 🫣
same
Same here!
Not only do I love your ideas for sketchbooks, but I also absolutely adore how you show them as a mock-up for a larger painting or print! I'm going to go through all my stuff and sort of try that see what they would look like. Thanks for the great ideas all around. 💜💜💜
Oh how fun! ❤️ you are welcome! 😊
Hello again. I just found you tonight (as I mentioned in the previous video I watched), but forgot to comment on what an amazing difference it makes when you have your sketch book art blown up and displayed on a wall...WOW!!! Also, thank you so much for sharing your art supplies. I'm quite new to watercolour and alcohol markers, and have found it to be a little confusing just what to invest in. I'm grateful for the help.
Hey again! If you are beginning you are so lucky you can focus more on the fun that in the supplies! Get whatever makes you the most excited to play with! In sure you’ll have tons of fun and you’ll too stumble with lucky mistakes that will turn into something great! ❤️❤️❤️
I was so sad that you destroyed the line artwork, I thought it was beautiful. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love the colors & the round circle.
Thank you so much! I think it was more about not being what I expected and me having an artistic tantrum 🫣
I understand. Sometimes it’s best to walk away from a piece I’m not happy with. Like the previous commenter, I liked the maze one!
@@DrTarrandProfessorFether that is true! Space makes things better! I just need to handle my artistic tantrums better 🫣
These ideas are so wonderful. I’ve now got 7 pages in my journal from your satisfying 7 ideas. The very first one I did bled through 😂 and I thought about tearing out the page, but instead I drew circles all over it and it actually turned out awesome with the bleed through! Your ideas are simple to do yet elegant and beautiful. I’m so grateful to you and the other artist I follow on CZcams. I’m grateful that both of you are sharing your art and giving ideas and lessons. It may not seem like a big deal, but you have no idea how life changing this can be for someone who suffers from anxiety so crippling that I’m afraid to even start. Sometimes all we need is just a little push. I’m very excited to start these 9 new ideas. Thx again
Wow thank you so much for sharing this with me! In so happy you are enjoying it and overcoming some fears! ❤️ thanks!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work ❤
Just found you. You are good therapy for me. I am learning a lot from you and I appreciate you sharing your whole process including the things you are unhappy with. Your work is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing all that you do.
Your little town looks like it is having a fireworks show!! 🎆 The pages that you painted over the thumbnail picture and did the reverse coloring on the flowers is stunning!! 🌟 So colorful! 🌈 The leaves pages are calming! 🍃 I know I'm odd, but I liked your taped page, especially after you added the bubbles and lines! 😍 I'm glad you were able to find therapy with it! 🥰 Your intertwined lines are very freeing! 🤗
Hey Karen! Thank you so much! I actually like the tape page now that it has the lines on top! I have a hard time not tearing up pages but I’m glad I didn’t!
@@bycreativepaula You're quite welcome!! 🤗😍 Impulse can be hard to control, but you won this time, and you created something you like!! 👏👏 Win, win!! 🏆
F. A. N. T. A. S. T. I. C. Video😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much! 😊
I watched your other sketchbook video too and it did inspire me. I allowed my mother to destroy my love of drawing and painting because everything I did was met with why no one else would like it.
I’ve been trying to find that joy again and your videos have helped me do exactly that. So, thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing with me! I’m so grateful I have inspired you to create again for yourself! ❤️❤️❤️ lots of love!
You are an artist! Keep playing!
A 16:43 thank you soooo much for teaching the organic fill in lines. I've had fun drawing white lines on my painting that I thought was too plain and needed something. It's not finished yet but I'm so happy. Debbie from Melbourne Australia
You are very welcome Debbie! I love love love that you went for white! The result must be gorgeous! Have to try that!
💖Love the Curvy lines and the negative painting. These are all really great ideas. I love this type of video. 😃👍
I love each page, your paintings, and the mock ups, and the "Maze page" that you hated was beautiful, in my opinion. and the neurographic-art is cool. 😃👍
Hey Phoebe! Thank you so much! I’m happy making these too!
👋🏻😃 hi Paula. 😊 you're welcome. I'm glad you enjoy making these videos. 😊👍🏼
PLEASE please do more of these. They are wonderful!! ❤
I will! Thank you so much 😊
It’s always such a surprise and delight to find a new artist that helps me look at everything differently. Love your work and teaching style.
Thank you so much Sharon!!! 💕I’m glad I was able to help you switch perspectives 🥰
Seriously it’s not ugly it’s beautiful!
🥰 thank you!
This is definitely one of my very favorite videos for inspiration; I hope you'll do many more of these!
Thank you! Will do!
That flower one is cool it’s almost like a reverse coloring book!!!
Exactly!!! ❤️thank you!
She is really creative, I love her style
Thank you! 😊
💜💗
Paula, I love all the sketchbook ideas! Another video idea for our sketchbook that would be helpful for me, and hopefully for many of your followers would be ideas to do while traveling. Whether it's a road trip or a plane ride, having creative options with fewer art supplies, is helpful creatively but also for those who need the distraction for traveling anxieties. Some pages could be partially prepped, or doing some of the prep work when we get home? Anyway, thanks for listening, can't wait to see more sketchbook ideas!
I absolutely love that! ❤️I have been able to create with very little supplies on the go so I’m going to add this extraordinary idea to my list!!! Thank you so much!!! 🙌🏻
My eyes are grateful for the blessing that is this incredible content on my screen.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I love all your ideas...they are so helpful when you have artist block! 😊
Thank you so much! Yessss! They are perfect for that and then other things will come!
Love it, love it , love it!!!
Thank you!!!! 🙌🏻❤️
I like "not planned"! Thank you for all the tips, Paula. You are great!
Anytime! ❤️thank you!
Hobby artist here- I’ve really enjoyed these 2 videos. Great prompts. I always have trouble thinking of ideas and always worry too much about the final product. I love hearing your thoughts as you go through creating these pages. Inspirational! Thank you!!
So happy you liked them! And thank you so much ❤️ letting me know I’ve inspired you us the greatest gift! 🥰
Paula you've inspired my wife and I to start paint. We are in our 60's. Thank you. 😀
That makes me so happy! Thank you for letting me know; I hope you both have loads of fun! 😊
I think my favourite is the abstract landscape. I love red! Such great ideas to try.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️ I love painting landscapes ☺️
Hi Paula, thank you very much for sharing your ideas. You are right the paintings look amazing when blowing up and put on a wall.
You are so welcome! ❤️ I’m so happy you agree! ☺️
Hola, Paula, me encantan tus ideas. Son fáciles y con resultados fantásticos, lo que anima mucho a realizarlas. Espero ponerlas en práctica pronto. Gracias por compartirlas. Saludos
Muchísimas gracias! Que te diviertas mucho probándolas! ❤️
loved the explanation of negative painting and also the houses were a surprise in that you used more black than expected.
Thank you! So glad you liked it! 😊
I’m loving all your sketchbook ideas I have watched so far. Thanks for all the inspiration! 🥰🤩😍
Thank you so much! That makes me happy! Next video coming this week! 🥰
The houses are fabulous 👌
Thank you! ❤️
I really enjoyed this. Thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you!
I am so glad to have found your channel, Paula, and wish you every success 🤩🎉🎉💕💕🥳🏆🏆
Thank you so much! Love having you here! ❤️
I was so inspired by the leaves, the negative painting one. I am going to do that in ocean colors, making it seaweed instead of leaves!
Oh what a beautiful idea! Have fun!
I just found your channel too, like the comment before mine. I love the ideas for painting, but more than that, I love how easygoing you are about what could have been a mistake. Thank you for encouraging those of us who are scared of messing up a page. I can do this!
You totally can! ❤️ and again, thank you so much!
These ideas are so much fun, thanks for sharing them!
Glad you like them!😊 thank you!
I LOVE the tree that you think is ugly! Enjoyed your videos.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Paula so glad I found you, you are so inspirational you make me want to pick up my brush and start painting again after years of negative thoughts about my art. 😊❤
Thank you! ❤️ I’m so happy you can now realize that you can have fun with your art and silence those thoughts! 😊
I'm definitely gonna try that leaf one. Thank you.
Have fun!!! 😊
Yes you definitely inspired me. Thanks
I'm so glad!😊❤️ thank you!
Please do about 1000 more of these ideas!!!
I will! Already planning the third video! Thank you so much!
Great deas! I just made some of them, sometimes it's hard to find fresh ideas to get out of the comfort zone,, thank you!
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed them!!! New ideas out today 😊
Just came across your channel this morning. Can't tell you how much you've inspired me to start creating abstracts. I can't draw or paint really but you've given me some ideas so thank you and I look forward to following you 🙂
Thank you so much! I’m so happy these have inspired you to create! I’m sure you’ll do great! ❤️
Really appreciate the time you took to show a mockup of the idea in a larger scale! I really want to fill my home with some of my own art and seeing how simple it is to turn a quick project in a larger scale definitely makes it less intimidating! So clever! My first video of yours, not even halfway in and I had to post already enjoying so much 👏
Wow thank you so much! I’m happy you enjoyed it! 😊
Soo awesome !!!👏🏼
Thank you! ❤️
Love, love, love your art! You’re quite the inspiration!
Thank you so much!🥰
Thank you very much for this Paula. So inspiring and do-able. Just what I needed!
That’s so great! ❤️ hope you have fun doing it! Thanks!
Really fell in love with the first art prompt (the overlapping leaves) so stopped the video and started painting it right away. Oh boy, are my creative juices flowing! thanks so much for sharing
I’m so happy this made you want to run and create! Exactly its purpose 😊 thank you! ❤️
Great idea to do these practices I can see how you just relax to do more! Thank you.
Yessss!!! It makes it all flow! 😊 thank you so much!
Your tree is fine. I work endlessly on getting my trees to flow. This tree is beautiful because of its A- symmetry.
Thanks! 😊
I love these sketchbook ideas and even got started on one this week 😅
Oh yay!!! So happy you did! Hope you have fun! ❤️
You are so inspiring! Ty! 💛💚💙💜
Wow, thank you!😊

You have absolutely inspired me!!! ❤❤❤🎨🎨🎨🌸🌸🌸
I'm so glad! ❤️that makes me very happy! Thank you!
Very satisfying videos. Appreciate your inspiration and happy smile. Good luck on growing your channel
Thank you so much! 🥰
Hello! I came across this your videos on sketchbook ideas and enjoy them. Negative painting is hard for me but I will try following yours slowly and see if practice improves this skill for me. Personally I thought the maze page was great even before you added the wavy lines. Thanks so much for the inspiration!❤
I’m sure you’ll get beautiful results! ❤️ thank you!
My daughter and I just discovered your channel. Great stuff!
Yay! Welcome! And thank you! ❤️
Very inspirational.Thankyou
So nice of you ❤️ thanks!
LOVE! Thank you so much for all these fun ideas for relaxing moments with our sketchbooks. You are so creative! I love to make are but am not very naturally creative, so I tried some of your ideas from your previous video like this one and was surprised that I quickly had ideas for more pages. It was just a matter of getting started! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this with me! I’m so happy these helped spark your own creativity! 🎉
The mockups are so cool!
Yes! Thanks!!!
Very fun. I love to draw and paint but struggle both with ideas and relaxing with the process. Thanks for the inspiration in your videos that I can use to practice!❤
You are so welcome!❤️
Loved your ideas ❤ thanks for sharing ❤ inspired me to start new sketchbook❤
I'm so glad! ❤️ have fun!
Hi Paula! I just found your site and this video. I love the fun sketchbook ideas. I am creating a challenge for myself of creating in a sketchbook everyday in June! Your videos are helping get me inspired! Thanks for that. Also, you said you couldn’t find the Jane Davenport tins on Amazon. Well they maybe being white labeled out to Prima Watercolors. Different color tins but paints are incredibly similar! Thanks again for the inspiration! ❤
I love all your ideas, thank you! It's so cool how you show how they look larger and framed, too ~ very cool.
You are so welcome! ❤️ thank you!
I love your energy and your art! ❤
Thank you so much 🥰
OMG i love the rest too, especially 4 a big painting!!❤ you've got a new fan in me❤
Yay! Thank you! 🥰
Love these ideas! Lots of fun. thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks! ❤️
So inspiring. Love your videos.
Thank you so much!
You are amazing....I loved every page 😍
Thanks so much 😊!!! I have to share with you, I was just a little bit uneasy about something and I asked God/The Universe to show me an owl as a sign; and your comment is the very first one I see!!! ❤️❤️❤️ so grateful for you! 🥰
Some really fun ideas! TY!
Glad you like them!❤️
Loved this tutorial. Very inspirational And thank you for showing how good these would be blown up to a larger size ❤
You are so welcome! And thank you! ❤️
Good ideas I am a very young artist who loves to draw and paint❤
I’m glad you liked them! ❤️ keep doing what you love!
I just discovered your channel today. I really like your style! I like doodling floral abstracts and organic shapes, too. You've encouraged me to let myself do some simple things in my sketchbook.
I’m so glad I did! ❤️ thank you and welcome!
Thank you!! This looks like so much fun and help for those of us who get ‘stuck’… Also - thank you for the discussion about how you fixed the page you hated. I have thrown away half of my pages toooooo often, and appreciate a completely unexpected idea on how to fix. As I was staring at your final art - I had an intense desire to put colored washes over the areas between each of your lines. TOOO fun!!!
Ohhhhh yeah you’re right! that sounds like so much fun! Maybe next time I’ll process an artistic tantrum with color and not just scribbles! I’ll try for sure! Thank you!
Don’t forget to have fun! And maybe rio the page afterwards anyhow; but have fun with it first … that’s the beauty of ruining something: nothing more to loose if you keep playing with it! ❤️
Thank you so much for answering my questions from the other video. I love getting inspiration from sketchbook videos, and this one definitely inspired me.
You are so welcome!❤️ I’m so happy it did!
I use watercolor brush pens a lot. Great for doing blending.
Oh I love those for on the go creations 😊
Love your sketchbook ideas. As a beginner and a terrible artist I can not with the perfectly painted ‘Miyazaki’ scenes or botanicals.
But yours are inspiring. Something I can actually make ! ❤🙏🏽
I’m so glad! I hope you make them but more that, I hope you have fun with it above all!
I really enjoy your channel a lot. I am new to watercolor painting and your ideas are so helpful to me. They definitely spark creativity. Thank you!
You are so welcome! ❤️❤️❤️ best compliment for me knowing it’s serving its purpose 😊
Loooviiiing the leaves and houses page! I gotta be better about just doodling or creating just to create. If everything has a purpose or direction, seems to be less room for experimenting - since youre looking for a “perfect” result each time.
Yessssss! That’s how I feel about my work as an artist… I really needed this space where I just create for the sake of and I’m not selling my paintings…. It’s just for fun! And it works! ❤️
I just discovered you, and I’m absolutely thrilled! I have watched so many different videos, and so many different artists, and I have to say that you are one of the best! You are very easy to understand very easy to follow very clear and your content is beautiful, and the way you explain it step-by-step is fantastic! I can’t wait to start a sketchbook and use your ideas. This was extremely inspirational and motivating! I hope so much that you continue to make more content just like this video! Love, love, love!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for all your kind words! Will have more of these in the future! And welcome! ❤️
Thanks for sharing! Love your creativity. Will definitely try some similar designs. Looks like so much fun.
Thanks! 🥰Have fun!
I’ve just found your videos and I’m hooked! Thankyou for your inspiration!
Welcome!! 😊 and thank you so much! ❤️
What a great video! I watch sketchbook videos a LOT, just found yours now and think you did an excellent job with the speed and pace of it, (not too fast, not too slow,) your commentary was fun and easy to listen to, (I didn't hit the mute button which I often do), and the art you created is beautiful, especially liked how you showed it as a large painting on walls. Overall, excellent!!
Wow thank you so so much for your input and feedback! I appreciate you! ❤️
I love these :) You have such a strong creative brain.
Thank you so much my friend! 😊 happy to see you on this thread! ❤️
Wow!!!!!!!
Thanks!
I just found your channel and this video was exactly what I needed to see at just the right time. Thank you!!
I’m so glad! 😊 welcome! ❤️
Thank you! ❤
You're welcome 😊❤️
Thanks! Just discovered your channel! I’m a flight attendant and definitely need something like this for stress relief! 😂Thank for your ideas!
Hi Sherry!!! Thank you so much! ❤️ I’m so happy these will be good for you! More coming soon!
Awesome !
Thanks!
Beautiful
Thank you 😊
Welcome
I really admire your work - it's very creative and expressive. I love the way you let the work grow into itself. I'm yet another retiree who took up watercolor to try my hand at art again, after an early attempt at oil painting when I was 19. I did one really nice self-portrait, and then never did anything else. Life got too busy. Now I just noodle around but it's starting to look like art.
I'm going to follow your channel because you,ve inspired me not to be too hesitant. I've also made a note to purchase some of the items you used. BTW, I really liked your "rejected child", especially when I tilted my head and looked at it in landscape orientation. No accounting for taste, I guess.
Carol in Boston.
Hey Carol! Welcome!!! And thank you for sharing with me ❤️ you know what I never thought about rotating to portrait I was so “in the tantrum” wish I had!
Hope you keep having fun with your art! 😊🥰
I recently discovered your channel and I love it. Your creative ideas and lovely, honest attitude really helped me try watercolor. I tried once before and didn’t enjoy it. But your ideas give people permission to have fun and try something.
Thank you! Love all of it so much!!
Thank you so much! ❤️ I’m happy this is opening the door for you to have fun!
Paula, my favorite this time is the landscape/ mountain done in a red, gold and olive. I lovelovelove your content ( you are amazingly talented artistically!!! ) My main media has been colored pencil, i have wanted to jump into painting for 2 years now. You ( and only you) have been the first artist to inspire me out of my fear of paints of any kind, and also markers ( pigment markers) please keep making these lovely videos! I just became a new subscriber, also. 🎨🖌️
Wow thank you so much! This comment has made my day!!!! Thank you and welcome! ❤️ thanks for subbing! 🥰
I like the maze page. Love how you create great paintings that are really easy to do.
Thank you so much!❤️
Wowwwww I am so glad this video was suggested to meeeee 😊 Love your ideas ❤
Aww thank you so much! ❤️🥰
Yes
