Her sketch books remind me of the fact that every teacher needs to do a lot of homework before a class. This also goes for her tutorial videos.. she learns it, makes it look easy and palatable.. so we learners can catch it more efficiently and her tutorials become more effective to her viewers. I can see how much effort she pays. I have a lot to learn from this sketchbook tour i guess 😄

Your paintings are so beautiful and unique. It's really refreshing to watch the huge art collection. And your works inspire me so much.☺

I love watching sketchbook tours. I love seeing the progress an artist has made over time. It also gives me inspiration on how I may want to setup my sketchbook when I finally get the nerve to start one.

Wow! 24 minutes! Gonna enjoy this! 🍿

I could never be bored of looking at your beautiful artwork.

I don't know why everytime I watch a sketchbook tour video, it just make me so happy! Also motivates me to sit down and paint something 🥺❤

Well this is a tour of your hardwork ..no wonder the paintings are so beautiful and wo ever watches them feels like they need to start drawing that instant ,very inspiring

yoir old sketches are by no means ugly! They allow insight into your creative process and how well you prepare your tutorials or projects! thank you for showing😍

Thank you. You allow us to see how important planning is to painting. Your flowers are exquisite!

Your paintings are a kind of treasure for me .I look at them and I feel so happy.they are so beautifully made !

catching up on some of your older stuff... and this is so amazing to see! I am still quite new to painting with watercolour and guache and marvel at your talent! I adore your tutorials as well. sending some love your way today!

Each and every page of your sketch book is a masterpiece !! You're such a great artist 🙌❤

It was fascinating to see the process that you go through when creating a painting to teach. You make it look so easy in your videos. I never knew how much work was put into a project before you filmed. Your an amazing artist. This was so helpful - thanks!

This was amazing! Every page is a masterpiece! 💛

Your tutorials and sketchbooks are awesome. I taught for over twenty years and yes behind each lesson I taught were many many hours of preparing for one lesson. Thank you for your channel

Wow amazing .....! so cute ....Keep doing this..😍❤Looks so unique....

Finally an artist that doesn't draw only humans. I love this

Funny how you say the first older sketches were some of your uglier ones and wonder if we can bear looking at them... I'm sitting here looking at them and think "This looks waaay better than anything I would sketch if I were to sketch a fox or animal" xD That's really lovely art!

I spend hours and hours watching your videos. They are lovely, you are exceptionally talented.

This is the best sketchbook tour I have ever seen ❤️

Your paintings have something special and I've enjoyed watching this!

Cute owls; nice candy apple; great pansy; wonderful beach. So many great things ! It was very kind of you to share your sketchbook. Thank you.

I don't know if you'll read my comment, but I want you to know that your channel is very helpful. Your art is great, you tips are easy, your voice is soothing.... Your videos are everything!! I'm learning watercolor as a form of therapy and I'm glad you made your knowledge available and free. Thanks a lot.

Your sketchbooks are wonderful and you've certainly come a long way in your art, congrats. So many wonderful memories and seeing them again was fun. I thoroughly enjoyed your private teaching art sessions, the pieces are adorable. I'd enjoy something like that as a gift. Not all your art tutorials have to be so time-consuming, from seeing how much time you do practicing before presenting the tutorials is a big WOW. I know you like to give us beautiful finished art, not only for your viewers but also yourself and I applaud you for that dedication. II can only speak for me, but I also love the simple practice ones, like the flowers, potted plants, and cute little animals. Tiny simple art and your music are very relaxing, bringing calmness during these times. I also enjoy the challenge of food illustrations which are terrific that you teach on Skillshare. Take a deep breath, please don't be so hard on yourself regarding your art, in the end, it's beautiful, even with the unexpected mistakes which turn into perfect ones. I'm sure you keep reminding us of that and it's reassuring. So continue talking us through the processes and I always enjoy spending time with you.🤗💗🤗🤗

I love them!! I always find seeing your planning stages and repetition very comforting, because I also do a lot of repetition before a final piece. It’s not something a lot of artists show online!

Your voice and tutorials make me glad through out the day

Thank you for showing the sketches too! It's super important to see that nobody magically does amazing paintings and there's a lot of "ugly" sketching behind every finished piece. I think it's important especially on instagram to show that there's a process behind development. =)

These paintings are just outstanding 🎉I ❤️ them 😭I wish one day I could draw all these paintings.These paintings are realistic and unique ..lots of love ❣️ from india 🇮🇳 keep it up 👍

I really like seeing your process as you work on the forms and drawings. I've seen sketchbook tours of finished drawings and sometimes they are so intimidating because you don't see how they got there. Yours show the work that went into refining your shapes and colours. So much more achievable and relaxing. And yet some of your work is very detailed. I love the colors.

Wow! Every page is an adventure! Thanks for sharing these pages with us!

Showing us your books is such a blessing for me. I really appreciate it. 😊 thank you very much!

This was fun to watch. I like seeing how you design and paint with such variation. Beautiful work. Can't wait to see more.

After watching this tutorial I came to realize that there is a huge hard work,practice n devotion behind every skill.how much practice u do to improve your talent.it also inspires me to do hard work bcoz I always forget that I can't become perfect at first time.thanks to show us ur sketch books n the hard work lies in it.

Thank you so much for doing this! While I do enjoy seeing your more polished pieces, I find it really exciting and insightful looking through your creative process before arriving at the final work! I find it somewhat reassuring and inspiring to see that it really takes a lot of hard work and ideation before you reach the final piece you show to the world, especially since much of art in social media these days (even most sketchbook tours) only really present the already polished output or tutorial, which is only really the tip of the iceberg in creation. It’s a breath of fresh air seeing all the practice and trials you went through and I find that it’s super encouraging especially to newer artists to go through that exploration and planning phase since that’s where so many ideas and techniques grow to life and become more refined. It’s my first time seeing such honest and raw documentation of your artistic process, and I really appreciate your effort to share all of that with us! You are an amazing and inspiring teacher and I look forward to seeing more of your lovely works!

That hamster 💖💖💖 I literally "Awww"ed out loud lol

I loved this tour. It gives newbies a lot of hope lol. I especially love your strawberries!! Each painting looked like I could reach right in and grab a truly juicy berry in the most luscious colors. Bravo.

Every page is masterfully done and I'm blown away by the amount of detail and effort you put in. Thanks for your lovely tutorials... I'm learning so much from you. Keep doing your art and I wish you good health!

I really enjoyed the tour. Not sure why you don't think this tour is as interesting as the last, it really does show the work you put into your tutorials. I always learn so much from your tutorials, so please keep going!

This is why your tutorials are THE best on KZfaq, you put so much effort into it! They are very easy to follow and oftentimes surprisingly good results! I only started watercoloring this January, your tutorials have been the most helpful and the successes I had following them gave me a lot of confidence in painting.

OMG thank YOU! for opening your art pieces to us and giving us a peak into the behind the scene process! This is pushing me to pickup watercolours again. Looking forward to your future videos!

Thank you for sharing. As a new watercolorist I was unsure how to work within my sketch books - this has really given me a framework from which to work. Thank you - and I love your art work...I love watching your tutorials.

Wow, this exciting. We have the wonderful opportunity to see your past and present finished art and sketches. Memories are great and at times funny when one reflects back, I do that with my ancient art and present-day art. Thanks for sharing,🤗🤗 Happy Easter 🐰🐰🐰

I absolutely love your sketchbooks, all of them! Your art is so beautiful, and it brings me happiness just to watch your videos.

Best tour ever..I enjoyed every minute of it 😍😍😍 it's really so inspiring ❤❤❤❤

I was waiting for this, your soo talented 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☺️

Beautiful sketchbooks. Not one second was boring !

Who are the great people who dislikes such videos...it really piss off that people are offended to Beauty also... Great work by Nia🥰

Wooow your creations are just beeeeaaauutiful👌👌👌❤😀 it just makes me sooooo happy to see your wonderful paintings !!! Thankyou so much for this video !! You are just fab 👏👏👏👏💕😘

So beautiful flower illstrations!

Really enjoyed seeing your sketchbooks, thanks so much (and you're not boring all!! Loved every minute)

Awesome tour, thank you for letting us see the background to so many of your step by step videos! I started watercolour painting from one of your videos on KZfaq and then went on to Skillshare to get some more in-depth lessons, and you are honestly my favourite teacher for watercolouring paintings because of your ability to simplify complex pictures but at the same time make them look really detailed. I also really appreciate that you always clearly indicate which colours and manufacturers you use as that helps a novice like me out a lot. Thanks Nia! :)

I love this sketchbook tour. It really reminds us that we must all not only break down our subject matter but practice. Getting something beautiful is all about practicing and knowing and understanding your subject. This tour was an eye opener to your minds process to learning and teaching. 🥰🥰🥰

amazing work and inspiring 😍. thanks so much for sharing your workings and drafts, it shows how much practice you have invested

I am new to your channel and to watercolor. Frankly this sketchbook tour was truly magical for me! I share interest in some of your subjects: trees, flora, landscapes, water, skies so seeing what an artist does was so enlightening. My superpower so to speak in my career life as a clinician was detail and observation, so I’m finding those interests carryover nicely in painting, as well as the need to “let go” of some detail upon getting home, if one is to survive in health care anyway. Maybe loose artwork is the parallel here. Anyway, I digress. Thank you for this lovely treat!

i feel like crying, idk why 😂 love your works. i just feel happy watching this, thank you

I'm really impressed with the way you use your sketchbooks, you add every details, compositions, color combination of what you want to draw and you practice. it's so beautiful...!!!!

Nia, I loved watching this flip through. I find it encouraging to see your process. It helps to see that you don’t just sit down and paint, you have to work out the process. Thanks for sharing.

I haven't seen all your past works so I was very happy to see these! I will go back and look at those also. Thank you for sharing, not just the finished art but the ideation process and "fails". It gives me courage to push on and when I feel courage I give myself permission to continue, whatever the outcome. 💕💐

Thank you for sharing your work. It is so helpful to see all the time you put into a finished product.

That was great!!

Thank you for showing us. Your artwork is amazing. Im inspired to keep painting in my recently bought 1st journal. 💖

Utterly amazed. Love your work, both drawing and watercolor. Love how you speak; you are a very good teacher. Thank you for taking the time to do this for your subscribers. I look forward to all you share!

I am learning so much from you. You are have an organized way of teaching I appreciate so much.

Thank-you for sharing this. It's all really beautiful and the relaxing music was a plus !

You're so inspiring. It's like my passion for art is resurrected. Thank you.

Your paintings are awesome so refreshing and unique...❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wow thank you for all the work you do to make those tutorials for us! I appreciate it a lot and it is interesting to see how many thoughts you have to put in every single video. Thank you for that!

Loved the tour, quite a few inspiring pages and everything is sooo clean

I've not seen this video before - I really enjoyed it! Thank you for showing your journals!

Love all your sketchbooks, you are such a great artist, thanks for all the inspiration!

Idk how she kept all her sketchbook neat and clean 🤯 And mine is very messy You're art gonna blow my mind 💜

They are gorgeous books. Seriously.

Because I am so new to watercolor painting (you made me believe I could learn it) I watched this with my jaw on the floor. Two reasons. One, your sketch books are beautiful. Two, I didn’t have a clue the work involved! I’m glad I signed on to skillshare because of you. Thank you Nia. You are appreciated. Suzanne

Your '3 easy leaf doodles' video was my first video to watch, and I'm falling in love since. Thank's for your tutorial to build shape n colour, its really helpful for beginner like me. You are great teacher n always give me courage to try. Watching your videos is so refreshing n give me heart content. Thank you very much dear .. :)

They are so lovely. I think I should binge watch all ur videos😍😍

So beautiful ....love your sketchbooks, thanks for showing them x

It's always obvious from your tutorials that a lot of time, care, and thought have gone into them, and it was really fascinating to get a glimpse into the process and refinements that you make along the way. Thank you so much for sharing!

I've enjoyed this sketchbook tour soooo much! Thank you

Oh! That was very relaxing!! I love it! You're amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️✨

Your illustrations are so beautiful. 😍😍 Enjoyed your beautiful sketch books and whole video. 🧡💚🧡 thank you for sharing them with us. 🥰🥰

I found myself teary-eyed through much of this because beauty sometimes affects me that way. Your landscapes are breathtaking and your birds and animals so darling! I'm a new subscriber so this was fresh to me. I look forward to watching all of your videos over time. Also yesterday I ordered myself an art journal and I imagine how much fun I will have filling it up and looking back at it some day. You see, I just started my watercolor journey 2 weeks ago.

Really enjoyed seeing your sketchbooks...wonderful art in all of them

Very beautiful... Watching this video makes me feel like I’m in a sweet dream...

I'm so glad I found this channel 🥺💗

Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed getting a peek into your sketch books. It encourages me not to give up when every painting isn't a 'keeper'.

Really enjoy seeing through your sketchbooks.

This was so interesting and relaxing. I love your tutorials 😍

Such beautiful sketchbooks, your work is wonderful! ☺️

You are an amazing artist, fantastic art teacher and most importantly very warm and loving human being. You art tutorials has been truly inspiring amid this covid lockdown. Love from India 😘😘 🇮🇳

Your art is so incredible and comforting. I feel enamored by art and inspired to keep working on my skills 🌱

Dear Nianiani, this is such a helpful and inspiring video which I just NEEDED!!! It's about UNDERSTANDING that professional artists like you work hard to get where they are, sometimes studying a painting again and again, repeating movements over and over, so they get so perfect, AND NOT like myself painting only when I feel like it in unregular intervals and then feely disapppointed because it does not turn out with the same high quality as your paintings. A bit like envying a model for her small size and not taking into account that SHE does diet constantly and works out hard in the gym in order to get where she is!!! Truly THANK YOU!!! Greetings from Berlin Germany and Happy Easter to you and your family 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍

Thanks so much for sharing! It is so overwhelming as a beginner to think experienced people just get it right (and we don't) as we don't see all the preparation work and tests, so really nice to see the process. And you have lovely work and ideas in there as well! Thank you.

Yes I really really enjoyed looking through your sketchbook it's so beautiful and I love your color pallets and your subjects that you paint. Thank you for your tutorials and sharing your amazing art to us.

It was so che nice seeing your sketchbooks. Thank you for sharing!

A tour of multiple sketchbooks... In one video... Thank you! These are gorgeous, even your sketches are amazing .

Absolutely Stunning! I'm new to the channel and mainly a portrait artist. I love food and floral paintings but have always found them intimidating due to the small details, I'll have to check out your tutorials but I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the video and loved seeing the insight into each painting.

Wow 😯2018-2020 it's really awesome and hard to make........... You are Mind blowing Nianiani 🌺

Thank you for this wonderful view of your sketchbooks, it's a rainy day here in UK and they have cheered me and inspired me to keep going. I have only recently found you as having taken up watercolour painting at the age of 70 I was looking for ideas and help. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these videos, it is appreciated!

Oh my god .oh my god!!! It's so amazing. Ah.......... I fall in love your sketchbook ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘😍😍

you're amazing! ah, the colors you chose are jaw-dropping. You're one of the most talented artists I've seen,
