⭐ONE CONTINUOUS WATERCOLOUR PAINTING in my ACCORDION sketchbook!

Hi Guys!
In this video I talk about accordion (concertina/zig-zag) sketchbooks. What are they all about? How are they different to traditionally bound sketchbooks? and what are they like to actually use? I also show you how I used my Etchr accordion sketchbook to paint ONE long CONTINUOUS WATERCOLOUR PAINTING! It's a bit different to my regular watercolour paintings but I had so much fun with it and wanted to share my experience with you.
I've also compiled a list of pros and cons with these sketchbooks and would love to hear your thoughts on them too, so please drop me a comment in the comments section below!
Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the video
Sarah 😀

    This is fabulous! What a great idea adding the music along with the pictures - the whole book looks really beautiful.

    Thank you so much for this Sarah, I’ve never come across one of these types of books before, and was very impressed with your idea of the twelve days of Christmas theme you used. Very imaginative as usual, difficult to have a favourite page because they’re all so lovely, but I especially love the five gold rings mice page! Nice to see you back again xx

    First of all, I LOVE what you did in this sketchbook. This was a great concept and each of your pages was so beautifully done. I have used an accordion sketchbook before. I've found that it is good for marathon painting. What I mean by that is giving myself a 2-hour stretch where I paint from life, bringing in 8 different objects to paint, and switching from object to object every 15 minutes. I don't have to worry about flipping pages on wet paint with an accordion sketchbook. I do this with my watercolor classes once per semester and it's a great exercise, but I do have a few more accordion sketchbooks in which I'd like to try a continuous painting at some point. Maybe with gouache. Thanks for this video; it was so fun to watch!

    I'm so glad you liked it Miranda!. I love your idea of a marathon painting session - the advantage of not having to wait for pages to dry before you flip them over is something I hadn't realised too, so thank you. Maybe I'll try it on the reverse of this sketchbook!

    Hullo Sarah, you put this accordion sketchbook to amazing use!! I could never find a subject or subjects to fill one up! I would have a disjointed grouping of images that never went well together! SO I have never purchased one, but have been given a few over the years. In fact ScrawlrBox has one in their current box! I hope some of the subscribers see your offering and take a cue from you! You had a very good idea and executed it wonderfully too! Glad your feeling better and I look forward to your next video! Have a lovely day.

    What a fun challenge. Your illustrative paintings are wonderful and I like the continuing theme elements from page to page. A keepsake, for sure! I've never used a concertina sketchbook, but I've looked at them often at my local art store. I believe artist Cathy Johnson has a video demonstrating how to make your own. Well done!

    Hi Sarah, I discovered your channel today and subscribed straight away. I've watched a few of your videos and I'm totally hooked. Your art is so beautiful. I also watch Jess Karp's videos and you paint just as fantastic as she does! The fact that you explain everything so clearly and what kind of art materials you use is so valuable. Your videos make me want to pick up a brush or a pencil. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos and of course to your new creative ideas. Your whole accordion Sketchbook is so beautiful too. Thank you so much for sharing😍. Love to my beloved England from Germany😄

    Those paintings are delightful! Such a lovely project. I have just recently bought this same exact sketchbook, but haven't been able to use it yet as the paper smells horrible. I was wondering if you encountered the same problem? I had to put it in another room and it's been airing out in there for many days but still smells so bad I can't use it. Due to that, and that the paper looks a bit thin, I would not buy it again...at least I got it on sale and didn't pay full price!
