Today we're playing with colors and making swatches to cover with botanical inspired doodles.
Thanks for joining me this year in this watercolor journaling journey. I hope to paint in my journal most days of the year and invite you to join me. We don't need big resolutions, just gentle intentions to tend to our creative soul a little bit everyday.

What a fun idea! Woke up at 4am (ugh) and this was the algorithm’s choice for me. I’ve liked and sub’d…almost want to get up and journal right now! I’m new to watercolor and learning how to use this medium. Your channel is wildly inspirational in a very mellow way. Thank you for making these videos. ❤🧑‍🎨🎨

Love this. I get so stuck trying to come up with doodle ideas. My relaxing painting session then turns into a stressful time and I often give up. I'm working on something similar which is taking days and days because I take so long deciding what to do! I like the idea of the journal though and just found a little one on Temu which was pretty cheap. When that arrives I'm going to dedicate it to mindful watercolour so I can hopefully learn to relax more! ❤

@ynnaz06131986 6 ай бұрын

Just came across your channel--I love these everyday journaling activities/ideas! Quick question: the size/shape of my journal is very similar to yours, and one problem I've had is that because the paper/surface isn't perfectly flat (like a spiral bound notebook), the watercolor pigment can bleed or spread in ways I don't want (i.e. the slant affects how the pigment spreads and pools). Have you experienced this issue, and if so, how do you fix it? Thanks so much, I'm pinning some of your videos to Pinterest right now!

@shanacirce2667 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! Great question. You will notice in several of my other videos I use binder clips to secure the pages down so they lay flat. Great little tool to have in your art supplies. I hope that helps! 😁

Hi Shana. I am wondering if your billed proof white is quash (spelling??). I am enjoying your channel. Love how you work. Also, is there a video on how you use your tube paint as a block?

@shanacirce2667 7 ай бұрын

Bleed proof white is a thing all its own. However, you could use white gouache as a substitute. I don’t have a video currently about making pan paints out of tube paints, but I can mention it in an upcoming video.

@denisesoles7180 7 ай бұрын

I have a question- as you are adding more paint on top of your dried paint, does it get picked up?

@shanacirce2667 7 ай бұрын

Great question. In this case, no. The paint is staying where it is. But this can happen for a few reasons. 1. Your paper and paint will play a big role. More economical paper and paints will easily lift when you try to layer. Especially non cotton papers. This can frustrate a lot of beginners. 2. You have to let the first layer completely dry. 3. You have to be gentle when applying. If you use a lot of pressure or scrub paint on, it can also cause lifting. I hope that helps.
