Welcome on my channel! My name is Merel. I'm 25 years old and I live in The Netherlands. I work as an illustrator. I love creating art in my sketchbooks and art journals. 🎨
I’m trying to make a birthday gift for my friend. The idea is 19 collages, each with a different topic (about either her or our times together) for her 19th birthday. All packed in a cardboard box, with a letter I write for her. I was honestly going to go on and make a 100 pins Pinterest board before starting, but this taught to just have fun with it. Idrk how to express myself through collages but I can only hope that I have fun while making it, and the love and memories I want to express shine through.

I dont know why you are not getting the views you deserve but here is how I found you. I was doom scrolling and saw your art work on travelers notebook. It was beautiful and I wanted to know how you do it. So I went into your IG page check out you link and here I am watching your video. I have been wanting to do what you do. Recording life as we live it so that we have something to lookback to. Anyway glad I found your channel. 😍

Ook al ben ik Nederlands, ik ben er nog nooit geweest! En zo leuk dat je kan reizen en schilderen tegelijjkertijd! Ik heb een gezin dus het is lastiger tijd vrij te maken om te reizen (wat we wel doen) maar schilderen is niet te doen. Ik heb veel tijd nodig dus ik doe dat wanneer de kinderen op bed liggen. Op dit moment schilder ik de foto's uit mijn foto albums. Dan hoef ik daar niet de deur voor uit. Maar dit ben ik wel van plan gezien we in de natuur wonen dus zodra het mooi weer is (en ik tijd heb) dan ga ik erop uit, alleen niet zo ver als jij! Super vlog weer. Ik geniet er echt van!

What spray you use and what water you use to make it like that?
@mereldjamila9 ай бұрын
It's just regular water and the spray is a mist spray bottle (you can also look for gardening spray bottles). I think distilled water works even better than regular water 💧

Hee Merel! Ik heb ook een video gemaakt van mijn nieuwe schetstasje en een verfpalet. Ik dacht dat jij dit misschien wel interessant zou vinden want ik zag dat jij ook hierin geïnteresseerd bent. Op deze manier kan ik nog compacter en minimalistischer reizen, maar met alle comfort van rustig kunnen te schetsen en schilderen.
