- I'm so happy to share with you a new sketchbook ideas video! This one is a little different because I will try to explain how I come up with ideas for these videos in the first place. I’m also sharing a bit of my regular sketchbook practice; hoping not only to inspire you, but also trying to break some of the fears thats make us believe our art needs to be perfect. ☺️
Thanks for watching!

#sketchbookideas #arthingstodowhenbored #drawingideas - Zábava
If you could only have THREE art materials to use in your sketchbook, what would they be? (For example: If you say watercolor each color counts as ONE of the things)
Pencil, eraser, thin fine liner in black
Pencil and 2 color markers im feeling that day ...or maybe even just 3 markers if im feeling spunky 😂
colored pencils only.
Red, blue and yellow colored pencils.
But it would be a big help if I could have a 4H layout pencil and a 0.1 technical pen as well!
On the leaves painting, what type of coloured pencils did you use please?
‘It’s the playing that leads to ideas.’ Brilliant. I’m a quilt artist, and I find this is true. I need to play. Adults forget to play. Great advice, Paula.
Thank you so much! Yessss we are taught not to play anymore!!! I’m happy I can remind us to do so more often! ❤️
I honestly think that it's incredibly valuable to see the process of reworking an idea over and over again until you figure out how to translate the concept in your head into a successful image on the page. Learning involves both failures and successes and if give up when something doesn't work out the way you want it to, you miss out on the opportunity for growth.
So true! ❤️ thank you so much! I’m happy sharing resonates ☺️
I’m obsessed with how you do a mock up full sized artwork. 😊
Paula, you said you aren’t great with color!? Paula, you are AMAZING with color!!! It is one of the incredible qualities that I love about your art! Thank you for being honest about your feelings when you feel frustrated. You make my inner child giggle with “artistic tantrum!” 😂 You have inspired me! Thank you! 😊
So happy I have! ❤️ thank you so much!
I enjoy your honesty and sharing of your emotional response to your art. It is interesting to me that you, the artist, may not like something you've created, but me, the viewer may like it very much. Also, you keep persisting regardless of how you feel. This inspires me.
Thank you so much! ❤️ comments like yours inspire me 🥰
I like all of them. They LOOK like the artist had fun.
📙 love that you show your full process, even the ones you hate. We are oft times the worse critics of our work, but you show persevering can lead to great results. Loved your goddess images ❤ I too seem to gravitate to faces but go from acrylic, water colour and pencil not yet finding my true style. Thank you for sharing your works x
Thank you so much! I am my harshest critic; other than my inner critic and imposter syndrome of course! 😂 those guys can be rough!
I’m sure if you continue to play with all your media you’ll eventually find which calls you the most… I know what brings me more joy and peace when I want to wake up on a Sunday morning and play with it before even showering or breakfast! I’m a little zombie on weekend mornings (truly not an early bird) so my higher self chooses and it’s wonderful!
I'm glad you let us see the process you use to get to something you like. It makes me feel better that I don't love everything I do. I believe you're right about discovering ideas as you go. Keeping the 'fails' is a perfect reminder that I just need to keep trying.
You are so welcome! ❤️ thank you! I’m happy you can relate ☺️
Love all your sketchbook ideas - so useful for someone who is just starting to play in a sketchbook.
I love the 3rd attempt, I would hang that on my wall. I also love the colours on the first one. They are peaceful and relaxing.
📓Tiny messy hearts are my favourite thing to draw. They make me smile and fills my heart with joy..
I love that! And I have similar feelings towards painting hearts! ❤️
07:40 your process, that’s AMAZING! ❤❤❤ I’m struggling to just play without worrying and learning how you keep repeating until you’re happy is super helpful
I love both of those pages that you hated - however, I ALSO love how honest you were about how you felt. I really admire your art and sometimes I think it’s important for us to see that it’s okay to hate our artwork and that doesn’t make us a bad artist ❤️
Thank you so much! I agree ❤️ understanding that is a real game changer ☺️
I always love seeing you create blooms with watercolour, they are so pretty 🥰
I especially like your stained glass leaf at the end.
I actually loved the calendula picture. Could totally see it (enlarged & framed) on the wall of my bedroom. ❤
The idea behind your creative process is consistency not perfection. When we pursue creativity with consistency and not perfection the process becomes Joyous!! Keep creating!!!!!!
Well said! And yes! ❤️ thank you so much ☺️
📓 I enjoyed this very much. Great inspiration. Thank you for the message that it’s ok to play and not everything needs to be a masterpiece. My perfectionism holds me back from enjoying as much as I could 😊
Hi Olga! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video 🥰 I’m a complete type A so I’m always teaching myself to let go and enjoy the process, I’m happy I can share what I do ❤️ let’s just have fun!!!
📔 I've just subscribed after watching the most encouraging video yet. At 65 I've just discovered watercolours and I'm trying to find my style. I'm drawn to anything abstract, but it doesn't always work for me. Seeing you difficulty with the flowers has encouraged me to keep trying. Thank you so much for giving me that lift. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this with me Steph!! ❤️ keep trying just remember to have fun with the process! ☺️
Thank you so much for showing us the whole process. It helps a lot to see that even very talented artists like you don't like every piece of artwork they make. ❤❤❤ I get so much inspiration watching your videos. Thanks a lot!
You are so welcome! And thank you! Makes me happy that you’ve felt inspiration! ☺️
thankyou I really enjoyed your colour combinations and in particular the leaves; it was so satisfying. I just love these tutorials, thankyou so much
📖Omgosh!!! I love you!! I love how honest you are..." I hated it.....I still hated it....I was feeling all pissy"... lmao! It's like you're right inside my head Paula! I'm really really new to painting with watercolor and your videos have been sooooo helpful and you make me laugh. I just received a new watercolor sketchbook today....and it truly is intimidating! 😮
Thank you for sharing your art with us, for being so down to earth, and for making me laugh! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you so so much Shannon! 🥰I’m very grateful you are finding this useful and you can relate to my process! I hope you enjoy playing with your watercolors!!! ❤️❤️❤️ don’t be intimidated! It’s just paper! I swear I need to write that on my desk 😀
Well...I must admit, I'm pretty famous with my family and friends for trying something new....and then flying into a blinding rage and pitching whatever I'm working on into the woodstove...true story😁
@@Shannon5909 haha! I can relate… that’s a firey artistic tantrum!
Good idea drawing from memory, and bravo for persisting, some nice pieces there ❤
I especially love the last one, the golden leaf, and the one which took you three attempts, the third is really gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing, and thank you for showing that things can still turn out great even if one is very unhappy with initial ... not quite so successful tries.
I’m IN LOVE with your hair! OMG! Just gorgeous! And she sketchbook is SO inspiring! Thank you!!!!
Awww 🥰 thank you so much!!! I’m happy you enjoy my pages too!
Love your discussion and your technique. Such a positive attitude and so much fun! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! ☺️ thank you!
I’m a sculptor, I weld art with steel and love to play which leads to some of my best creations. Thank you, I loved this video ❤!
This video was incredibly helpful. If an actual artist (you) struggles at times then of course a newbie like me will definitely struggle. I like the way you talked yourself through the rough spots, and determined that everything you created had some value, even if you didn't love it. I am enjoying the process so much more instead of feeling pressure or disappointment.
Thank you so much! 🥰Glad it was helpful!❤️❤️❤️
📓 Thank you for taking the time to read the comments! I have no idea how to use watercolor… you make it look so easy that I really want to try now. I just need to buy a sketch book that I can do watercolor on. ❤ I want to let you know that I really enjoy watching your videos and watching you draw is relaxing and addicting. Keep it up, Paula! You are doing wonders to a lot of us!
You are so welcome! And thank you so much 🥰this makes me really happy! ❤️ let me know how it goes!!!
Love love love your ideas
I just want to say thank you! I ran across your channel the other day and love your positive attitude about art and life! I forgot how fun this can be and I plan to start dabbling in it soon!
Hi! Welcome and thank you so much! ❤️ I think we all forget at some point why we liked art in the first place; and as adults we need a constant reminder that fun needs to be a part of it! Hope you started playing already and are enjoying it! ☺️ all my best!
Thank you for sharing how you keep going. I really needed to hear that right now. Fail fail fail and don't give up. Thank you for the inspiration
I love that you were honest about the artistic tantrums - been there done that 😂
Thank you! I loved that sharing has showed me more adults have then too! 😄
Great video - fantastic to see your sketchbook that you use for your main art, so much practice and repetition. It encourages me to keep practicing and repeating ❤
I really enjoyed this video- it made me want to go play in my sketchbooks! I make my watercolor sketch books and I made one that was very rectangular-3 1/2” x 8”. For some reason, I also decided that they would be double spreads. And then I decided to go through and tint each spread with a watercolor wash. Each decision was out of the ordinary for me. I only have a couple pages left in it but it has been lots of fun. No need to reply👍😀
Thank you! This is really helping my artistic side. Loving your videos. Blessings.
Thank you so much ! ❤️
Love your ideas. Will be trying some out!
Fantastic ❤️ thanks loads love that you too is still learning
I really love how you superimpose your artwork into different rooms. Really great content. Thank you! Subscribed today.
Thanks for the sub! ❤️ and welcome! So happy to have you here! ☺️
Lots of fun color in this one! =D
Always love your sketchbook ideas.❤
Thank you so much dear friend! ❤️
Paula! I love your first leaves! I thought they were feathers and got inspired!!
Thank you so much!😊
Love the artistic tantrums! Also especially how you learned and kept going!!💕
Paula, you don't have to justify keeping a painting. You can keep it simply because you made it. Maybe it was a bad feeling that you had to get out. Or, like you said, it was a necessary step to get to the painting you *do* like. But if you just genuinely don't like something you made, it's ok to throw it away, and that's not a tantrum. That's honing your craft and gaining the valuable knowledge of what *doesn't* work. Please be more patient with yourself. You deserve it! Warm wishes from Minnesota! ❤️❤️❤️ May your pencils always be sharp and your colors never bleed.
So sweet ❤️thank you so much!
Im so happy you didnt give up! Im still trying to learn the pencils on top of watercolor and my markers im always so scared im going to ruin my picture but i love how the combined mediums look....i really enjoy watching these videos because your honesty and encouragement is everything and i can feel your words because of your expression behind it all...and as always THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANOTHER AWESOME WEEK OF ART!
You are SO welcome! ❤️
Idea: until you feel a little more confident; print a color copy and play with your markers or pencils on top!!!
@@bycreativepaula thank you so much for the advice and taking the time to reply to my little comments each week...i do enjoy your content and the uplifting advice you always guide with and offer just is so genuine and thats rare now days....thanks again for the encouragement and hard work that you put in for our watching pleasure every week
Thank you so much for your inspiring videos - they really help me get out of a creative rut!!
Thank you! ☺️ I’m so happy they do! ❤️
Loved all your ideas😊
Just what I needed today, thank you. Was so frustrated with my painting this week, just felt horrible about what I created. But I don’t have give up and get rid of my brushes!❤
Let’s all keep our brushes!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
paula, you most certainly are inspiring and...you are remarkably brave. ty for sharing your authentic feelings of disappointment & (maybe) annoyance...
i'm so glad you pushed through
Your my new art teacher❤
Thank you so much!
Love watching your process in creating. It’s very honest; very authentic; and very inspiring.
It's amazing how good your ideas are in your sketchbook and then what happens when you turn them into wall art! I can't imagine anything I'd ever do that would translate into gorgeous wall art. You are SO inspiring, even when you hate something. I appreciate how you take what you perceive as a mistake and figure out how to get through it. Not many artists would be so transparent. Love you!
Thank you so so much! 🥰
I love these, even if you don’t love them, it gives you other ideas. 💕
Paula you are such an inspiration!! I began to lose my fear of drawing and making a mess after started to fallow you! I am an artist but I have so many traumas and blockages that these videos have been like some sort of a saviour for my lack of confidence. So I’m very thankful to you and your wonderful kind smile!
Thank you so much for sharing this with me Sonia!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I have felt the same so I’m happy to share what helped me so we can be happier creatives together! 🥰
Wonderful inspiring video❤
I love how you are so genuine! You don't mind sharing your up's/downs. That's what it's all about.
I also really liked the one picture of a lady in your second book but you showed the pictures in it fast so I can't share exactly which picture it is. 😐
Thank you so much!! ☺️ I’ll probably try to do a slower flip through my sketchbooks soon - in the meantime you can always see more of my portraits at Pacal.art on insta ❤️
Love it, thanks for keeping the not so well pges in. Makes your process so honest
I love the final flower one but the other two were beautiful too 💜Thank you for sharing the real process❣️
📓 Your very last picture of the large leaf with gold and watercolor reminds me of a stain glass window. Really eye catching! Keep on keeping on! You will get more confident with patience and practice.
Thank you so much ☺️❤️
😍You have such an amazing and creative mind! Love these video's! I want to get my own sketchbook 📓 and try some of your watercolor ideas! 🤩
Thank you so much ☺️ I’m happy you like them!!!❤️❤️❤️ let me know how your sketchbook play goes!
📓 you make watercolor fun for me again I want to try some of your ideas
I’m so honored I have 🥰 thank you so much I hope you have fun! 🙌🏻
So much fun! Thank you for the fabulous ideas!
I feel so relieved that I am not the only one that goes through "artistic tantrums!" I have come across so many times when I sketch and paint something out with the best of intentions in my mind and then I get the pen/brush to paper and it just blows up! Thank you for your advice and really the best advice is exactly what you said - just keep trying and moving forward. Don't give up on the creativity! ❤
Thank you for your words ❤️ I’m so happy my experience resonates and the tantrums are not exclusive to me! 😅
So fun!
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your inspiration and process. I've been finding inspiration in different places lately thanks to you!
Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️ that makes me really happy and motivated to share more! 🥰
I love this and appreciate the ideas for filling a sketchbook! 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for your transparency in the process. You’re a great teacher and inspiration!!
Thank you so much!☺️
Love the quote 💜
I love watching your videos 🥰 I live in Copenhagen and is always looking for new inspiration.
You really make me want to use my watercolors again 🥰
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Beautiful and encouraging ❤
📓Hi Paula! Love watching your artwork techniques. As a person who spends more time away from my studio (and paints) and outside in the nice weather, I’m wondering if you would do a video on ideas that do not use paint…maybe just a black marker?
Oh I love that! Black markers are my favorite so I’ll definitely add this idea to my list! Thank you so much! ❤️
📓 You're the reason why I bought a sketchbook and watercolors again and already filled it half way in two weeks. But also, that brought me to a video idea, because the colors are very cheap and I wonder if you can tell as an artist what the differences are. Maybe you could try cheap art supplies and show what you can do even though the material isn't the best. Thank you so much for your inspiring videos!! ❤
Wow! Thank you so much 😊 you’ve made me super happy and I feel honored!
I actually LOVE that idea! I was at cvs a couple of weeks ago and thought maybe I should make a video using the supplies there! So it’s definitely in my list! Thanks! ❤️
Cheap paints are less pigmented, use more fillers, the pigments themselves are cheaper, often they are not lightfast.
That said: You can still have a lot of fun with cheap paints and create beautiful art! And if you only use them in your sketchbook, lightfastness seems less important.
Most artists say: If you are on a budget and have to save money, even student grade paints can render beautiful art work, but buy the best paper you can afford!
📓No reply needed! Just want to tell you that you have inspired me so much these last few weeks since I found your amazing Channel! I even have a box of items to keep my sketchbook going in the car! You are truly a light ,and I love your videos! Thank you from Texas!
My three materials:
Watercolor (Maybe Blue/teal)
Micron Pen in black 1.0
A metallic Marvy Uchida Opaque Brush pen
Of course I’m replying to all my emoji besties! ❤️ lol
Thank you so much! 🥰 it means the world to me that you’ve felt inspired!!
Love your material choices + I’m plant based too + miss TX! Haven’t been since 2021! ❤️
Your second piece has a lot of depth...I like it
I love your whole thought process as you work through your sketchbook. It has inspired me to start working on "playing" again. AND!!!! my Arrtx markers should be arriving today! I'm looking forward to giving them a try. Acrylics were my first "grown up" art supplies that my mom got for me decades ago. I went on to pen & ink drawings, watercolors, and then did graphite pet portraits for commission. I'm coming back to my love of all things art and have so enjoyed playing again! ♥🎨 Thank you for your inspiration, Paula!
Yay!!! I’m so happy for you! And I hope you are enjoying your new markers! 🎉❤️
Another satisfying video. I am learning so much from you. I am very inspired to try some of your ideas. ❤
Okay. I subscribed! That says it all! But I will say it too….amazing!! I love all the pretty colors!!!💕
🥰 thank you so much! And thank you for subbing! ❤️
📓Thank you Paula. I have seen a few of your videos and really liked you collab on the Create this book 3 from Di. So I watched this one today and have been really inspired. I have just bought my first watercolours and have been a bit nervous to try them. They look so cute in their pans! I love these botanical ideas and now can’t wait to try them. Thanks for showing me how things go from not great to better even for a professional artist . (I am not a bestie but wanted you to read my comment so I added the notebook.)
Hi! So first of all you are a bestie now! 😉 soooo happy to have you here! ❤️ thank you!!!
I’m so happy you have felt inspired and I get it! It’s sooooo hard to break in beautiful new watercolors! They look so pretty and pristine! But it will happen as you start having fun with using them… so don’t be nervous! Remember it’s just pigment on paper! But yeah I have to be honest when they are as destroyed as mine you crave a new set… will I dare use it if I get one? 😂 probably will stick having fun with the ones I have played into old age!
Thanks for making me so 🙏🏽
Welcome!
Oh my, I think alllllll the images were lovely. ❤❤
Recently found your videos and I am happy I did!! I plan on getting caught up because I feel so inspired to make mistakes and see where that takes me! Thank you!!!
Hi! ❤️ welcome!!! Hope you have fun making “mistakes” ☺️
I just bought my first set of watercolor. I am petrified. You are making it a little better. Thank you.
I’m enjoying your videos so much and have been playing with many of the supplies you’ve mentioned recently, such as the Kuritake watercolor palette and graphite watercolors as well as Posca markers! When I saw this pop up today I couldn’t wait to watch! I love your honesty and full on emotions - so real and although frustrating for you in the moment, very inspirational for me! Thank you for all you do and for fueling my creativity!
Thank you so much for watching and your beautiful words that keep me super inspired!!! ❤️🥰
I love every single thing you did in this video! Every single one!!
Thank you so much!!! 😊
I am just loving all of your drawings, paintings ❣️ Even your fit’s over what you didn’t like 😂❣️❣️❣️❣️
Haha I can’t take myself down from a fit but I honestly have them most creative days! 😂
I'm so bummed I missed your live feed. But much love ❤️ from California
Honestly I love your clay art pls do again 😊
❤❤❤❤❤
📓 Hi. Do you have a preference on which markers to use before using water color paints over them? I don't want my pen to bleed. I love your work!!! Also, how can I get my art made into a professional print?
💕💕💕💕
❤😊
Great idea and great execution!
If you're looking for another idea, how about variegated fur? I've got a cat that looks like she fell in the dry rub, and painting cats like her... well, I need an example, really bad.
Thank you so much! 🥰
For the fur I think the Arrtx acrylic markers could work! I painted fur with those on my previous video designing characters and I think it could work for the different colors of fur mashed together… if not I would definitely go for traditional acrylics… easier than watercolor and color pencils is a great option too but so time consuming
@@bycreativepaula Trip to the art supply store in my near future! Thanks for the hint!
If it weren’t for you, I’d have a blank journal! Thank you!!
Haha I love that! You are very welcome and thank you! 😊
Interesting. I like them and how you go. Don't worry about answering. I write to help the channel. Jackie
Oh you are the best!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m still answering ☺️ just taking a little longer
