Love your videos and all things nature. My husband and I are setting up our yard to be an edible landscape and will be keeping a journal of our progress including watercolor art in it. And it’s because of watching your videos that we got the idea, so thank you so much!
Thanks so much! I love the edible landscape AND journaling it too! What a great idea😊 So thankful that you have been inspired to create in multiple ways…Thanks for your kind words ❤️

Helpful advice. Like the idea of setting a year deadline, it really helps motivation. You’ve encouraged me to have a go. How many pages do you complete per week in general? You deserve more subscribers!
This book is used for You Tube so I generally did 2 entries a month. I went over my year deadline on my last journal by a few months. I actually started this channel to keep me motivated to journal. I have other Nature diaries that I also journal in so maybe one spread a week? Thanks so much for commenting and watching 😊
☺️🥀 The leaves are fragrant when dried. 🥀☺️

you've covered some really interesting points here! I've used the strathmore mixed media sketchbook and I wonder if you have, how does it compare to the watercolour one? i'm curious 🤔
I never have used it but have looked at them and the mixed media paper is lighter. Since I mostly use watercolor, I have found this paper better at holding more water. It’s definitely not as nice as Arches but much more affordable. I think mixed media would be fine for light washes of watercolor….this paper just gives me more options! Thanks for watching 😊❤️
Where did you find the page clips that hold the pages flat? Thank you!
I actually found these at Walmart but I also use the inexpensive binder clips that you can find at any office supply store. You should also be able to find them online😊
@@mynaturediaries4402 Thank you!
Hi, I am a begineer. I haven't had much experience with colors and painting.
Please guide how can I start -any small steps?
Hi and so excited for you on your art journaling! I have a video on the Basics of starting a Nature Journal which can help with the materials and supplies needed. (Whether it’s an art journal or nature journal) My biggest advice would be to start with just a few quality art supplies. Also, you can practice drawing your subject on a separate piece of paper, and then transfer that image or trace it into your art journal. Use this like a coloring page to paint with watercolors. Keep everything simple to build up confidence! I have lots of examples in my videos as well…the main thing to do is to get started and ENJOY the process!! Hope this helps! 😊😊😊
@@mynaturediaries4402 thank you 😊
I’ll keep you updated about my progress 💕💗🌟
