I absolutely love your approach Laura and explanation of planting seeds into several sketchbooks. It has taught me not to be overly obsessed with having to complete any one page! I find this so liberating and less judgemdntal about my efforts. I'm so grateful to have found your channel 🎉 it's like breathin new air into my lungs! ❤

Thank you for sharing your sketchbook with us. Love to see how excited you are about experimenting longer. Sometimes we get caught up in the process and forget to enjoy each part. I listened to this episode of the podcast twice and really loved it. Very insightful and glad to hear you are not caving to the Instagram pressure to do reels. I think they probably have their place in social media, but at 57, I find them frustrating for anything that I really want to spend time to LOOK at, and art is one of those things I want to take my time enjoying. Love your work and your gentle, mindful way, Laura.

That was awesome…I really love botanicals but struggle with water colours. I love your style and agree about sketchbooks. Another artist who is passionate about sketchbooks is Helen Wells. Her work is mainly with acrylics and a totally different style to yours but very committed to getting folk using sketchbooks.

I so enjoyed seeing the pages in your journal. I haven’t tried negative space painting yet. I started my first art journal book in February and only used the pages that were on the right side…not knowing if the paper could handle being painted on the backs…well I went back and started the left pages after I finished the others. It’s a hodge-podge of uncohesiveness but it’s my exploring as a new artist. Thank you again! I put a hold for that book at the library.

What a beautiful collection of experimentation! That audiobook sounds like something I'd like. At 7:37 in the video I fell in love with your blue flowers. I have many blue inks but I don't have one as vibrant as that. Would you tell me what color blue that is? Can't wait to listen to your awesome podcast today. I like listening to your podcast when doing my own art

Thank you, it's a fantastic audio book. My favourite book on creativity so far! The inks on that page are Royal Talens Amsterdam brand. I used a few different blues, but mainly Ultramarine and Primary Cyan. They have some fantastic colours in their range.

This was exactly what I needed to see this morning to rekindle my creativity. Where are the links to the supplies you mentioned? Would it be possible for you share them in this comment section?

Do youremember what pen you used to draw your botanicals on the black themed (second page in!) page? So in love with your videos!

thank you for sharing your beautiful art and process with generosity , but I must say : this fabriano sketchbook s**** ! It s totally horrible for watercolors even the Kuretake , not very nice for drawing either and the only use I could find for it it's to do some abstract grid with acrylic . It buckles , peel off ... I ll never buy it again. This is my modest personal opinion. But I would 100% recommend the beautiful art nouveau kuretake pallet , so awesome ! Bisous from France !

Hello! I really loved this video - looking through your sketch book. This cemented into my mind the need to just play in a sketchbook. To use it to see what ideas might come up. Then be able to use those ideas for a piece of art. I think I've really been missing the boat by not using a sketchbook to get me further into my art processes - if this makes sense🤔😊Thanks Laura. You are always an inspiration! Susan in AZ🥰🏜️

Wish you showed more of your Art, instead of talk, talk TALKING. Art is about images and watching artist creating a piece speaks Louder than all the endless WORDS. Why not be a writer if talking, reading is your passion.

It may not be for you, but many people enjoy words and art. Art can be many things. It comes down to taste. Maybe silent KZread channels might be more enjoyable for you and that’s fine, but thats not what you’ll find here. I won’t be changing my path as I’m happy being a chatty artist that reads books.
