Sign me up for Artists Anon too 😅 I very much relate to the feeling of starting a new sketchbook and not having a "set theme." Trying to pull myself away from that mindset and just allow the creativity to flow, even though my inner perfectionist has all these grand ideas for how the sketchbook "should" look. Self-inflicted art block at its finest. I will have to watch your videos on gratitude journaling, it sounds so fun! 🤗

Lovely video again. I've deliberately been working through a heap of journals last year as I too had lots of incomplete ones, plus really really old ones that I'm painting over. I mentioned to my friend that I was reusing old ones and bless her heart, she went out and bought me 4 brand new ones as she thought I was reusing purely for financial reasons ♥️ I'm so lucky to have such a generous bestie but now I've got 4 more journals to get through lol

The best thing that happened to me when I decided to go on a low-buy this year is that I really started exploring the art supplies and sketchbooks that I already had. I’ve discovered some really fun ways to use what I already have and that was a hidden blessing. Of course inflation works to LOL 🤑

So first of year I bought only 4 to start off 2023 and won't get anymore sketchbooks or supplies until I use all I have. Ive had to throw out so much dried up stuff. Ive totally spring cleaned my art room today before end of January was my goal. Now Im ready to start fresh. I love your journal flip throughs you are a very talented lady and alot of fun to watch. I appreciate all your tips, tricks and reviews as well. Have a beautiful weekend.

I also have themed sketchbook paralysis but more like marker paper, watercolor paper, mixed media paper, a dry media only that feels too pretty, and I just ordered an art talens one to unlock that freedom to draw anything without pressure to color it which I felt in the themed ones, it felt like the purpose of the mixed media paper to play to the max so if I did several pages graphite only it felt wasteful eventhough intellectually I know it isn't. My husband always tells me the only way to waste art supplies is to never use them and I try to make it my mantra to be less afraid to play more fearlessly. I'm saving so much money by not using Amazon anymore, removing the convenience means I have to be mindful so I think twice before I put in an order.

@BeginnersMind-ArtMind 4 ай бұрын

I’m so sorry to hear that you struggle like that with your sketchbooks. I’ve never tried doing “themed sketchbooks“ I just throw everything into whatever Sketchbook I’m using at the time.

I love flip-throughs❣️I had an idea 💡 I want to share. You shouldn’t do double the work by making two videos. I love going through the sketchbooks and journals with the artist taking about their work, thoughts, ideas, how it helps them understand and improve their art etc. The viewers that don’t want that can mute the video and play music they enjoy. That leaves you more time to create more videos, artwork or just rest with your journal in your art nest 🪹 to create your beautiful and brilliant ideas🪺! 🤗 Love, Fran

@BeginnersMind-ArtMind Жыл бұрын

Thanks Fran, that’s very sweet of you! Some of those older flip through‘s are in videos with a lot more varied content. The viewer might have to watch the video for 20 minutes before the flip through comes up. If I re-film them to music it would just be the flip through with no other content and much easier to watch.

@@coastlineandpines2346 I think all artists inspire me. There isn’t one in particular and I think my favorites change at different times in my life.

I do the same thing, buy, but don't use them. I have a horrible way of doing things. I gather all the stuff, for awhile, then by the time I have it all, the inspiration to paint is gone. Maybe it's the chronic pain and depression..and grief...it's been years since I painted anything. I started in oils, now I'm wanting to do watercolors again. Sadly, I too, fall into that trap of thinking I have to have the exact same things that artist is using. Lol. I should know better than that now.

My heart goes out to you because when my pain/fatigue and depression are high it is harder for me to get started too! I recently showed an exercise in one of my Patreon videos where you hold a marker very lightly in your hands and just draw some organic loops and shapes that are all connected. Then you take watercolor, acrylic, ink or whatever you like and fill in certain loops. It’s a very relaxing exercise that calms the nervous system. It also helps prevent you from thinking that you need to “make art”. Another thing I do when I am feeling too ill to make paintings is I paint backgrounds on pages in my art journals. No pressure just applying paint and marks that I will paint over later. Often when I get started on something like that I can move forward with an intuitive painting or an abstract painting. I need to do some more videos on KZfaq for projects when illness makes creativity difficult. Take care!

I've decided that buy art supplies and using art supplies are two separate hobbies.

And I thought it was just me with the journal addiction. Did you know that the Etchr cover can be painted on?

Oh dear, now we both need a meeting lol. Yes, I did know that some people paint their journal covers but I prefer my covers to be blank and mysterious with the pretty stuff on the inside 😄👩🏻‍🎨🖌🎨
