Gorgeous and creative sketchbooks! ***I know this video was put out a few months ago, but I am wondering what you use to label your sketchbook covers and spines? Is it a Posca or some other permanent paint/marker? Especially on my leather/vinyl sketchbooks, I cannot get any writing to stay on!?*** Any info would be amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your sketchbooks and your wisdom!

@brendaswensonwatercolors 21 күн бұрын

Thanks! I use a white: Sharpie or Posca. Black: Sharpie or Pitt Faber-Castell

I am absolutely in awe of your art. I would love to have sketch books like yours. How beautiful. Tell me, do you do the writing blurbs in pencil before you ink them or are you just writing as you go?

@brendaswensonwatercolors Ай бұрын

I do a little of both! If the font is stylized I’ll use a pencil for the layout. When it comes to writing my thoughts or events of the day I usually go directly to pen.

Hi Brenda I really love your style! I am new to urban sketching and notice that sometimes you don’t seem to use pen in your compositions and I was wondering how you decide when to outline in ink and when not to. Thank you!

@brendaswensonwatercolors Ай бұрын

I like working in a diversity of ways and different drawing tools. I’ll use pencil when I know I have enough time to paint. If time is short I start with pen. Why? Because A well drawn line can stand alone as art.

I really want to draw watercolor full drawings while I travel as well, but I find drawing on spot very diffucult as the weather is usually hot and sticky, and finding a calm spot to draw is pretty hard. So I wondered if you took pictures of some of the places and drew them later at your accomodation or finished them at the spot. Your journals really inspired me wonderful work! ❤

@brendaswensonwatercolors Ай бұрын

Nothing wrong with using photos if you're uncomfortable outdoors.It's not a sin. I personally would rather paint outside than use a photo. I love being surrounded by the experience (smells, temperature, sounds...). Sketching with friends always makes the experience more fun and safer, too.
