Fantastic tips and questions to ask ourselves! I can't say which is my favorite size, though -- they all have a purpose for different activities. I received a gift of a small 2" x 3" that I carry on my daily nature walks to capture just 1 plant that caught my eye that day, and that has turned out to be such a wonderful journal! There's no pressure to complete a big page or fear of the blank page. Most of my nature journaling is done in a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" mixed media sketchbook which fits great in my journal kit bag, so I would say medium size is my most commonly used. Thanks for sharing!

I use a 7x10 mixed media spiral sketchbook for the most part. I sometimes make an accordion fold watercolor sketchbook if i’m wanting to do wetter, looser work. Those i make out of 9x12 pads so they end up being 6x9. I make those accordion folded so i can work with two or more continuous panels.

So many great tips in this video! I particularly love how you paint light shades in the background before painting the darker colors of the subject. I'm going to try this! I became fascinated with the Red Horse-Chestnut blooms this year and wish I had thought to press the flowers from the blooms - next year! The radiant leaf arrangement is so interesting, too. Wonderful idea to add a little insert card on the page. Thanks so much for sharing your many inspiring tips!
