101 Watercolor Sketchbooks Flip-Through!

Watch ad-free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/collection/79329 Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Sketchbooks are seriously on-trend nowadays. Amazon is overflowing with options, and YouTube is full of artists telling you how to fill them. But do your sketchbooks free your creativity, or (if you're honest with yourself) are they a barrier, an inhibition, or even an artistic trap? I have 101 sketchbooks which I've accumulated over 40 years of painting and in this video I'm going to show you around some of them as I offer you, and myself, a mental reset - back to how sketchbooks used to be, and in my opinion still should be, used: for whatever comes out of your pen or brush, NOT for curated collections of paintings. And as we go I'll introduce you to our June challenge #joyofjune which is my way of helping all of us to bring this artistic freedom back into our daily art habit. *Full details of the challenge coming soon on Patreon and in the YouTube Membership tab* Materials: Etchr Mixed Media Sketchbook with Canvas cover https://amzn.to/4dAsjzq Etchr Hot Press Watercolor Block A4 https://amzn.to/3JimxmP Hahnemuhle Bamboo mixed media pad https://amzn.to/3JAlgry Strathmore Watercolor Journal 5 x 8 inches https://amzn.to/3WtkXaF Viviva Square Sketchbook https://amzn.to/4mK2P75 Viviva Sketchpad Refill https://amzn.to/3SrBWa8 Clairefontaine Carnet de Voyage, various sizes https://amzn.to/4d8DcIw Canson XL Mixed Media Sketchbook 5.5x8.5” 90lb / 160gsm https://amzn.to/41gIXgZ String and Space Sketchbook https://amzn.to/4c55HFO Paul Rubens Watercolor Book https://amzn.to/4jAE0Yw Paul Rubens Pink or black Watercolor sketchbook. https://amzn.to/4kbSbnK Strathmore Mixed Media Sketchbook https://amzn.to/3Sr0DU4 Strathmore 81/2 x 11 Hardcover Watercolor book https://amzn.to/3Sr3rAt Strathmore 400 series https://amzn.to/44Urdwd Strathmore 300 series https://amzn.to/45uEYSq Canson Graduate Sketchbooks https://amzn.to/3ZGZATR Artx watercolor sketchbook https://amzn.to/4mK2P75 Viviva from their website: *Use code DIANEANTONE to get 10% off your order if you shop here.* Square Sketchbook Ivory 64 pages 120lb https://tinyurl.com/Viviva-Square-64 Square Sketchbook 40 pages 140lb https://tinyurl.com/Viviva-Square-40 A5 Sketchbook 64 pages 120lb https://tinyurl.com/A5-64-page A5 Sketchbook 40 pages 140lb https://tinyurl.com/Viviva-A5-40 A5 Sketchpad 32 leaves 120lb refill https://tinyurl.com/Viviva-Sketchpad-Refill Get a Studio Insiders Pass and choose ten FREE sketch downloads EVERY MONTH from our library of over 300 sketches: https://dianeantone.com/product/studio-insiders-pass (There are no recurring charges, just a one-off payment to set up the Pass. **Patrons and Channel Members get this pass FREE - look for the coupon code when you join!**) ------- Get an overview of what we do here at Diane Antone Studio: https://linktr.ee/dianeantonestudio Join my FREE Studio Insiders' Newsletter for coupons, freebies, offers, inspiration, news and more: https://dianeantone.com/join-our-newsletter Join my YouTube Membership: https://youtube.com/dianeantonestudio/join Join my Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Become a Studio Insider for 10 FREE one-click sketch downloads per month: https://dianeantone.com/product/studio-insiders-pass/ ---- SUPPLIES Browse all of my recommended supplies on my Amazon Storefronts: USA - https://amazon.com/shop/dianeantonestudio Canada - https://amazon.ca/shop/dianeantonestudio UK - https://amazon.co.uk/shop/dianeantonestudio About my brushes I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Maestro Series (black and Gold handles) and the Golden Nylon Series 11-2 (red and white handles) and I use sizes 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html ------ CONNECT WITH ME Visit the YouTube Community Tab here: https://www.youtube.com/DianeAntoneStudio/community Diane Antone Studio Private YouTube Members Group - for Members only https://www.facebook.com/groups/dianeantonestudiomembers Website: https://dianeantone.com Facebook Diane Antone Studio: https://www.facebook.com/dianeantonestudio Facebook Members Only Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dianeantonestudiomembers Facebook Learn to Paint Watercolor Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnwatercolourpainting Facebook Learn to Paint Mixed Media Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnhowtopaint Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dianeantonestudio Please visit our baby sister channel @fromthegarden Tip Jar: https://tinyurl.com/dastipjar --- Diane Antone Studio makes a commission from sales made through the above links.* #dianeantonestudio #watercolor #art
