How I Start a New Sketchbook Without Overthinking It

Starting a new sketchbook is one of my favorite things as an artist—but it can also feel a little intimidating. In this video, I'm sharing how I like to fill those first pages without putting too much pressure on myself. Join me as I start a brand new watercolor sketchbook, create a simple date page, swatch colors, and explore a series of strawberry-inspired paintings. Along the way, I share some thoughts on finding inspiration in everyday life, overcoming the blank page, and letting creative ideas grow naturally. This sketchbook journey includes: 🍓 Starting a new watercolor sketchbook 🍓 Simple sketchbook ideas for the first pages 🍓 Watercolor color swatching 🍓 Layered strawberry watercolor painting 🍓 Loose watercolor strawberries and strawberry blossoms 🍓 A whimsical strawberry fairy inspired by Flower Fairies 🍓 Creative inspiration and sketchbook habits 🍓 Watercolor sketchbook process I hope this video inspires you to start your own sketchbook, embrace imperfect beginnings, and follow your curiosity wherever it leads.
