Wonderful video. Can't wait to try it. Thank you.

Your framed jungle botanical paintings are my dream! Thank for all these ideas to move forward. 💖

I would love to buy a video tutorial for that beautiful, pastel rainbow starfish picture that is on the cover of your masking guide!

I too started using tracing paper in my art work at school. I am now 60, back then tracing paper was regularly part of art and craft lessons, including sewing, pottery, painting and drawing. It’s great for designing and visualising ideas.😊

What a wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing. I have been using photo sleeves, 4 x 6 cards that I gathered from all kinds of discarded cards, or cut used cards into that size and write on one side and draw and do art work on the other side. I have been doing that for 22 months now, and I am just looking for a new way to do art and journal daily. I love your format.

Do you have a video of your mark making sketchbook the one you showed in this video?😮

Thank you! So much information on techniques! So helpful for beginners.

I'm loving your ideas! I will use them as a way of meditation. Thanks for sharing❤❤

Thank you for a great video. New subscriber.

Fantastic! Love this trick! That octopus page is awesome 👏

I love CARAN d' ACHE watercolor pencils

I found it helpful to see how you squeezed the paint from tubes into palette.

Jackie you are a genius! I am not sure I can make these books, but I will certainly try. It's a great project!

Wowwwwww!!!! Beautiful!!! Blessings. I have learned a lot from you. Thank for being such a great teacher.❤

Almost like zentangle patterns. I love the colors.

I really this "new to me" method with the tracing paper!

wow! this was enlightening! i kept hearing put ‘warm’ here and ‘cool’ there use there…..i never new what a difference the colors actually are! you are so good at helping us understand watercolor 🎉

Wow! Great technique!

What a fab demo - thank you so much

Just a tip…..you can refill your empty disposable Pigma Micron/Fineliner pens if the nibs are still good… just pull the nib with tweezers and syringe in Indian/Bombay ink… which is both cheap AND waterproof!

Thankyou Jackie - really interesting! - Thankyou so much for sharing 😊

Excellent content! Useful and inspiring. I'm excited to have a second life for a lot of my practice work AND to have a pocket sketchbook on me at all times.

Omg, I became all emotional about your cactus baby! That’s awesome 👏

I love the idea of using my large paper which can be intimidating to color in small "scenes". Thank you for the folding/background painting idea!

I am so glad I found your channel. You give us words of encouragement and good advice to grow into our own style of painting. I love your blue jay and sand dollars!!

This was fantastic and really empowers me to paint from my own photos, which has felt daunting up until now. Thank you for your clear teaching!

😃

This video is absolutely lovely!! Thank you so much for going in depth about how to fold these mini sketch books, it’s very helpful for me as a beginner zine maker!

Thank you for sharing these wonderful sketchbook ideas. I have lots of Stampin Up scrapbook paper, which is like light cardstock. Some of it is similar to your samples and will work perfectly with my vast array of stamps. Also bought some watercolor paper tonight so I can paint too.

This is an incredible project! I’ve just started watercolor lessons and have always enjoyed drawing zentangle patterns. I can’t wait to check out your other fabulous lessons!

Thank you for your delightful suggestions and clear instruction! Fun to see your artwork!

Thankyou for a wonderful tutorial, your description of the techniques is so good! What a beautiful end result ❤

I appreciate you sharing your art journey and it is very helpful

Such a cool and informative Video, thank you so much for this❤❤❤

Lovely ideas, thanks for this video. I love your patterns and mark making! Just as a side note, I don’t know what microphone you are using, but it sounds a little odd and unpleasant to listen to…

1)Write down a list of things you like including artists to reference from and colour palettes you like. 2)Bring 1 or multiple from this list an ipad pen, drawing pen and paper, pencil eraser and receipts, small set of paint and mini sketchbook/ used containers. 3) Set timings whenever you have the mood even if 10-60 mins or when home fluid art,ink splots, random colours you can paint from. 4) look around you for 3-5 things to draw/ colours to you or pick one thing you want to improve on

Jackie, thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I just came across your channel tonight and have watched your first two videos for beginners. Do you have a video that shows how you mix your colors before you begin painting? Do you make a puddle of clean water on your palette and add paint or what? I know this is probably a no-brainer question but, I want to do it correctly. Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you again, i feel i have fallen into the continual tutorial trap. They are great and helpful but eventually you have to be brave and move to the next step. I am still trying to decide on my style. I love realistic art but i also love impressionisim. I find i am not really suited to realistic art, i get too frustrated and perhaps expect too much but it still keeps drawing me in. Perhaps i just need to perservere 🤔🤔 or perhaps i need to let it go. Dont know yet but i really appreciate all your advice.

Thank you, you are very clear and easy to follow. This is a great idea and a good way to use art that didnt turn out how you wanted. Love no wasting of matterials 😊. Going to make some now !!

Did you say what kind of paper you use? Card stock, watercolor paper, etc?

Thank you very much for being so generous with your art. <3

You’re a great teacher! This is the 3rd video of yours I have watched in 2 days and so far, the tips all have been so useful! 😊

Jackie!! How serendipitous that I saw your video today! I have been struggling with this very issue. I've been second guessing myself, wondering if it was worth all the effort. Your video showed me that when I go off script, in a manner of speaking, I am trying to stylized my painting. It's NOT a failure because I haven't reproduced the reference exactly. Thank you for sharing this information with us!! 🙌💜

I like this technique!!! I am not an artist but noticed that during pandemic I started sketching and actually enjoyed it very much. Since then I have continued sketching. Also enjoy your smooth tone, which is relaxing. Thanks for sharing various inspirations.

Yeah, I keep a chunky, unruled notepad in my purse for notes and sketches. I also always keep a pencil, a Sharpie and fine point black pen.

what White pen do you use in the beginning of your video ???

Great ideas - thank you!

Hi Jackie, I am so glad that I found your site! This was an excellent tutorial and so informative! Thank you so much. Helene

I don't like tracing I just feel learning to draw free hand is the art work. Otherwise tracing and colouring we learned in kindergarten.

Very helpful, thank you!
