Hi! I just finished my first sketchbook in January and immediately started the next one wich was waiting for me a couple of months. I started painting and drawing for my personal joy after many years not doing this. One thing I didn't like about making art was that there are all those finished sheets of art on paper and no good place to have them. Not on the walls, not in a folder. Then I saw sketchbook videos on yt, yes yours too - and I knew there may be a great place for every piece I create. I baught a cheap one with thin writing paper. I started with my watercolour pencils wich I have for 25 years, I got them for christmas when I was young and did draw. I worked with yt tutorials to improve and get ideas. I worked free to see if I get my mind on paper. I gifted myself with 8 halfpans of watercolour, including goldpaint and some horsehair brushes. I started to paint on watercolour paper and glue the paintings in my book. The new book consists of a mixedmedia paper, it drinks gluid colours too quick. So again I use the gluestick. I also baught a bunch of good felttip pens, reactivated my old fountain pen from school... Yes, the artkit forms itselves, according to the owner's needs. Thanks to your videos I soon took my kit outside. I take it wherever I expect some waiting time and it's a great thing to paint while waiting for the doc or for the child to have their appointment over. Or at scoutcamp ehen there is freetime at noon. Or at the public pool. Or elsewhere. Thank you for cheering me up and awaken the joy of sketchbooking/ artjournaling. And one big thing: I learned that it's ok not to be as good as others. It's for my personal joy, not for gallery 😅
