      I really enjoy these easy accessible ideas of yours. Appreciate those videos! 🙂
      If you could make a video on sketches with markers only (not in combination with water colours etc.) I would be very excited. Maybe that would be an idea you could consider?!
      Have a good day!

    I really admire how honest you are about your struggles. But also! I think the theme was magnificent - because it gave a lot of ideas from one base, which is good for relaxation and learning skills. A lot of sketchbook content on CZcams is full, complicated paintings, and as a hobbyist, this is much more what I am looking for and feel like I can use. So thank you for your sketchbook videos!

    This is the second or third video of yours that I’ve seen, and i really appreciate them! I love the ideas and “permission” to explore and be imperfect. Also - when you share about having an inner critic or imposter syndrome - it’s so refreshing!! More of us need to let our humanity show - especially in this era of erasure, where so many things can be erased or glossed over which is so unhealthy for our whole society.

    @terryhall2299 Před měsícem +12

    I love how real you are. I think we all go through some of those things, like our inner critic. I am a Zentangle artist and the idea of what I tell people is, “it’s just a piece of paper” hoping that it takes the stress off and allows people to breathe, relax, and draw! Thanks for your great videos!

    • @bycreativepaula
      @bycreativepaula  Před měsícem +4

      It’s so crazy how we can get invested and stressed by little things and actually forget it is just paper and you CAN just start over and still enjoy all the process! We can get cray cray😜

    • @bycreativepaula
      @bycreativepaula  Před měsícem +1

    I think having multiple similar ideas is actually really helpful for me. One of the reasons why I don’t do something creative sometimes is because I don’t feel like my idea is new or fresh. And it’s perfectly OK of course to do the same thing over and over again if you enjoy it. So I appreciate these similar Creations that you’ve made in the last couple videos

I really love the community we are creating here on CZcams and all the OGs like you with whom I can share, and chit chat and be directly grateful for your encouragement !

    • @bycreativepaula
      @bycreativepaula  Před měsícem +1

      That's a great idea! When this used to happen to me on canvas I painted the sides first; and sometimes jus by getting to move the brush and some paint my creativity would arrive 😊 so yeah paint backgrounds and you can work on top of those later! I’m doing just that right now for an upcoming video ❤️

    I love all of these ideas along with the others I saw in another one of your videos. I’m going to play in my sketchbook tomorrow as a treat to myself for Mother’s Day.
    Also, I wanted to say that you seemed to had been listening in on my thoughts when I am making art. I’m not a content creator, but I can ruin my fun with my self-talk at times. 😩 Thank you for your transparency about that. It’s really helpful for me to know that “real” artists have self-doubts and over-think, etc., and that just because I’m having those thoughts doesn’t mean they are true! I don’t know if that makes sense, but hopefully you get what I mean…
    And it reminds me that I enjoy it so much more when I focus in “process” rather than “product” (which is in essence what you bought yourself back to also). 😉

      Hi!!! Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed your Mother’s Day treat! It is definitely a treat to take time to spend creating without self judgement! And yes! I have to remind myself of what the reason to start was and what the objective is! ❤️ so happy to have you here!

    I am in the UK and I love my Canson sketch books. They look exactly like the hardcover one in this video, but are 300gsm 100% Saunders Waterford Cotton paper. Apart from a couple of beautiful handmade sketchbooks from Etsy, which are very off white (and pricey), these Canson ones are the only 100% cotton 300gsm paper, which are brighter, and don't need a bank heist to pay for them! Thanks for this video, it was fun to watch.

    Loved your narration while watching this. I just found you and I picked up watercolor simply because I wanted to jump
    In when my daughter played with her crayola watercolor set…so I did. It helps me clear my mind. But as an adult i expect too much from a person who isn’t an artist. So your chat with yourself, gave me ideas of what to say to my overactive mind when i am disappointed in what i was working on. ❤

    I have done mandalas for a while years back, using water colour pencils. I am planning to take up drawing, colouring, water colour and in preparation am watching videos. You share your insecurities in this video and I wanted to say that I love what you are doing here: you are showing me how to just experiment, do what you enjoy, see what happens. So it's not primarily about whether we as viewers love the end result, it's about the process. And tastes differ! Some of the things you were most happy about are less to my taste, and some things you say you really disliked I loved. So don't worry about that! Show us the process, like you do, and that is brilliant! It gives me courage to start my own journey/journal :D Greetings from The Netherlands!
    Edited to add: I LOVE the 'wonky' mandala! I loved making very strict mandalas using rulers and compass, but I also love the free-hand!

    CZcams suggested one of your videos to me today and I have just spent a chill Saturday morning feasting on your content. LOVED this video for SO MANY reasons! * I have a gift card that was given to me to purchase more art supplies and I was considering getting some of that brand of paints. 😮 * I love how you show the possibilities behind the finished product with your mock-up. (But I’m also sitting here doing this mental process of figuring out how to digitalize such a small painting so it can be enlarged that big as I’ve never tried to make so large of one before. Scan at 1200?). 🤔 * It is so therapeutic to my soul to know I’m not the only one that has the crazy mental dialogue going on while I paint! * And these sketchbook videos are so fun and your work is so beautiful! When you did the one you didn’t like at first I was saying, “NO! You just need to outline them!” Then, later you turned back and did just that. I literally cheered out loud! (Thank goodness no one at home heard me! lol! 😂). Thanks for the lovely morning off watching your videos!

    • @bycreativepaula
      @bycreativepaula  Před 28 dny +1

      Lol thank you so much! I scream at the tv and videos too! Out loud though, haha I’m happy to know also that all my mental rollercoasters are not unique to me and I’m that ride with a lot of other creative minds ❤️❤️
      Thank you for all your kind words and of course for the views 🥰
      Entered!
      Oh I was forgetting to answer about the enlarging… you can definitely blow it up! Specially with the cameras we have nowadays! The resolution is amazing! Please check Laurieanneart on Instagram; she does this all the time… has a course on how to do it professionally… but you can do it for yourself with a good picture and Shutterfly or similar 😊

Took deep breathes refrained from ripping the picture out so i could forget i did it and kept moving a wound up with something im really excited and happy about! I love your last picture with the neurographical art i think i may try that later to destress from today thank you for some great ideas this week😊

    I enjoyed things you researched about Mandalas. and your Mandala page is beautiful... (and way more "doable" for me than the "perfect" ones I think of when I hear the word "Mandala").
    Anxious Me is adorable. 🥰 I'm sorry to hear you experience anxiety... I have struggled with it pretty much my whole life, too.... but... am doing better these days.
    Those are all great ideas... and I love the artwork for each one. great mock ups, too. 😃👍

      Yup canson is of course the most know paper brand here, even more if artists… I just wanted to try to find something similar to my sketchbook and easier to purchase since I got so many questions… I’ve maybe should have been clearer about why I chose that one; which was of course the brand of the paper, size and format….
