So great to see you back,and that you are feeling better. Sometimes just simply drawing in your sketchbook is a great not too taxing way to get back into your creativity, you can just almost swich of a little and just make diferent marks. I have a full set of the lightfast pencils and they are amazing and layer realy well and work well over watercolours. I love the message you put for yourself on the first page of your sketchbook like a little creative affermation. The drawing of the house would make a great postcard especially the second version,but maybe both as a little duo of postcards.Layering in colours and textures in differnt media is a great way to discover new ways of making artwork as hapy accidents and didcoveries can happen that can spark off new ideas. The liquitex arcylic marker looks interesting I didn't know they made these,may have to look into trying these,could be great for mixed media working.The Stabilo woody are a great pencil I use these a lot they are really versatile. Sketchbook times would be nice to see more of in the future.Carry on getting better and just ease yourself back into working and being back here on youtube.Hope you come back with new inspirations. (matt) P.s this video is a nice reminder of just how much working in our sketch books can be really healing and a great place to return to our cretaive journey or begin a new one after a time of not being able to work. Doing a mindful doodle is something I do sometimes when things are not good,they are a good way of giving yourself a time out too. Just find your own way back to creating full time, take time out when you need to,do something else like read or go for a walk. The way forward from this point wil gradually show itself to you,it could take you and your amazing work in a whole new direction,you'll find your wellbeing/creative wellbeing will work in tandem as you move forward.

(I love these layering techniques, but I am still confused as to how you achieved the look of the sky in your drawing.)
@NatashaNewtonArt3 жыл бұрын
Aw, thanks Sharon! What a lovely comment. It's great to be back! 🤗 Basically, for the sky I used a very pale grey Pitt Artist brush pen, let it dry, and then went over the top with a Luminance pencil. You can vary the colours depending upon the effect you'd like to achieve, but I just tend to use the pencil very lightly over the top in a very loose, scribbly way, varying the angle of the lines/strokes. It creates a lovely loose, layered texture. I hope that makes sense! It may look different on the actual drawing compared to the swatch because I used the pen over a larger area (and therefore you get some overlapping of the pen marks, which makes it a bit more patchy).

@lizhart813 жыл бұрын
I don't have any luminance, but I do have that extender set and too many Derwent pencils, so I can confirm that the larger size definitely works well with both the Derwent Lightfast and Drawing pencils. It's a real shame you can't buy them separately, though. I rarely use the one for standard diameter pencils, so I don't need another of those, but I could definitely put another larger diameter to use! As it is, I'm frequently swapping my sepia (red) and ivory black drawing pencils in and out, so those little stubs are pretty scratched and beat up at this point.

I’m so glad you are showing me to appreciate my derwents. I am the opposite of you, loving more gem colors in my palette, with a strong large overlap because I love your colors too. But muted earthy colors are not my favorite but you inspire me to use them differently! Thanks! I regretted choosing them over luminance full set

Hello Natasha and welcome back! So nice to hear that you are feeling good again💜 I missed your videos and I enjoyed so much this sketchbook time one. I love that you shared with us all the experiments you did and the techniques you have found. To me is really charming and relaxing to watch at someone drawing and I was so pleased to learn how you achieved those amazing textures. It's like you are still painting, even when you are not using liquid paints, such as acrylic or watercolor. I was used to think that people "draw" with pencils and "paint" with paints, but it was a really conventional and rigid belief in a way. Since I've been following you I feel like you have taught me a lot. This is such a beautiful aspect of social medias. Thank you very much for sharing! 💜 I can't wait for the next sketchbook time video 🥰

I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the video, Elisa! Thank you. I was also thinking about the difference between (or not!) painting and drawing the other day after I accidentally called my sketchbook drawing 'a painting'. I like and agree with what you've said here. :) x

Welcome back! Were you using the etcher sketchbook? And what is your favorite sketchbook? I'm currently working in a moleskin sketchbook and I like it, but it's not holding up that great with my watercolor paintings. I have to be gentle with the paper.
@NatashaNewtonArt3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Kate! I should have mentioned in the video that I've written in the description which sketchbook it is - this time I'm using a Royal Talens Art Creation sketchbook. They're similar to the Moleskine sketchbooks but much cheaper! I love using them for dry media and maybe a little paint, but they wouldn't hold up to very wet washes! I would say that these are my current favourite sketchbooks alongside the Etchr cold pressed watercolour sketchbook (which is obviously much better for paint!).

Thank you for sharing your process, it is so lovely to see you work and hear you talk about it. It makes me want to sit down and make art! I loved this video where I can learn some new techniques and I will definitely experiment with my own supplies and see what I can do.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and a healthy and productive August 🧡 I happen to have been ill in July as well and really missed your videos. The beautiful Welsh house drawing for some reason reminded me of a black and white film, Random Harvest (1942), maybe because it also had an idyllic looking cottage.

Hi!... only just recently came across your channel and have really enjoyed your artwork. Thank you for sharing 😊 ... I also have the extenders that are too large and if you are still waiting for the Derwent ones, you could try to wrap the end of the pencil in paper until you’re able to squeeze in the pencil and get a good grip. This way your extenders won’t go to waste perhaps?.... just an idea but it worked for me :)

I need to try this, thanks Nikeeta! :)

Maybe a bit too late to comment. But for pencil extenders, you could wrap your pencil in artist tapes so that it fits into the larger end of the extender.

Glad you are feeling better. Also very happy to see another of your YT videos which I always enjoy. By the way I lightfast tested the fluorescent kremer paints....not good at all as they faded badly, although the blue less so.

Thanks Denise! I don't know whether you received a notification, but I saw your comment on the fluorescent paints and replied to it - strangely, not long before you left this comment!

Natasha, you can try to wrap your pencils in painters tape and then insert them into the pencil holder ☺️ It should work for you unless the holder is massive, of course 😂

@ooXChrissieXoo2 жыл бұрын
derwent holder fits my luminance, but don't leave the holder under sun or heat, the handle part can get very slightly tacky, but it doesn't bother me. But also I just want to mention that I live in the tropical zone, so we are well over 32C on average everyday, and leaving that under the afternoon sun was my problem.

So worried about you. You are such an amazing artist. I have watched your older videos but worried about you in real time. So nice to know someone else loves GREY as much as I do. My base color is black. Black and turquoise. Grey and turquoise. Grey and pink. Grey and beige. Soft color and black/grey. You validate my color palette. Be well.

@NatashaNewtonArt3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Erika! :) I tend to skip pages when I've pressed really hard when working on a drawing and it has marked the next page. I would have felt weird about doing this in the past (feeling like I have to fill every page), but I've noticed that other artists do this in their sketchbooks, so that's what I do too now!
