Mixed Media in my Skechbook – Landscape in Watercolor – Full Video Tutorial

I’m sharing a process video today over on my german YouTube channel (no voice over) on how I draw/paint a landscape in mixed media in my sketchbook. I am working in a Royal Talens Art Creations book. It’s my favourite as the price is not expensive, the paper is smooth and takes a lot of mediums (including watercolors) very well. I also like that the paper is in a cream color.

Using Oil-Pastels in my Sketchbook

Over the last few days I made some bird drawings with oil pastells in my Sketchbook. I have been loving oil pastells forever, but I always hesitated using them to create art because of their property not to dry. After drawing in mixed media every day for one year I discovered that the process is the thing I really love about making art. It became absolutely unimportant for me to create good work. Knowning and feeling that freed me up in a completely new way. That was, what made it so easy to play with the pastels even if they are messy, they do not dry and the pages stick together. You will find some tips in my post how I prevent them from smearing and of course the drawings I made. I will also give you the links to the pastels I’ve used.

Arrtx Oil Pastels – Video Review

In today’s video I have a closer look on the Paul Rubens Oil Pastels and the new Arrtx acrylic markers. I have you to tell in advance, that I am not an oil pastel artist! I love mixed media and I use oil pastels in my sketchbook to add some accents or for mark making in my art journal. For this purpose I am really happy with both sets. The pastels are super creamy and blend really nicely. The acrylic markers have a brush tip and are permanent once they are dry! This is awesome, as I’ve never seen something like that.
