@@leoalvarado6466 does it smear graphite? I specifically use faber castell 9000s because they have clay base and they don’t smudge too bad. You could also take a kneaded eraser and roll it over your drawing first to get up excess graphite.

Thanks! I don’t because they’re not my idea and I hardly have time. There are people on Etsy that make them though and I bet you could request the size to slip in. It’s honestly easy to do yourself. It’s just 2 boards cut to 5”x8 or so and then hinged together with Southco friction hinge. Home repair shops can cut it and all you’d need is a drill to install the hinge.

@@JaredCullum What type of boards could I use? Would Home Depot cut it to that size?

@@debradavisfineart yes- you can use any. Plywood is probably the easiest. Baltic birch and whatever thickness you’d want. Half inch would be heavy- 1/8 would be flimsy but feather light. Some specialty wood shops sell little Baltic birch panels. Blick sells them for people to turn into oil panels. You could get a 6x8 and cut an inch off. If you use a thin board like mine you’ll have to stack them where you out the hinge so it has more to screw in. That brown strip on mine is a 3”4 inch strip of walnut I cut to the size and wood glued on before drilling the hinge into it. If you pause you can or probably figure it out. James Gurney made a video on how to make these- although his are bigger.

@@debradavisfineart mine are 1/4” Baltic birch I ordered from Rockwood wood.

Ps I was at Home Depot the other day and saw they have 1/4” and 1/8 panels. I remember thinking “this would make good drawing boards” but you could ask if they’d cut that for you into 2 panels.

Thank you! They’re kinda expensive but hand made and really beautiful. Alla Prima Pochades. This is the 10x12 light. There’s a full version with slide out drawers

@@JaredCullum Ah, yes, I have the same one on my wish list already!

Marty! Of course I remember you. I'm a fan of your channel! Always a joy to see when you post. Thanks so much for dropping a line. I need to comment more on yours and other channels. Your comment made my day. Thank you for the kindness and encouragement.

Hi Scott. What an unkind thing to post on a strangers videos. I can’t imagine speaking to anyone that way. I’m pretty clear that my videos are sharing a process of growth. Not all are advice. I’m a an illustrator but have painted for years. I’m sure you’ll find videos from painters you respect elsewhere.

I don't have a way right now for the rest. It was a class I taught live. I have gouache demos and tutorials on my patreon but no pressure to join, of course. :)

Thank you so much for your kind comment :) I appreciate you watching.

Haha I wish! That’s the dream :)

Thank you! For gouache I use all m graham materials. Raphael kaerell is my favorite synthetic for brushes but any seem to work fine. Strathmore 182lb mixed media paper here. Usually arches hot press for gouache

Great to know, thank you so much!🤗👌

Haha

Truly! :)

I use a 1in flat synthetic. I use mostly cheap ones. The nicest one that I use the most is a Raphael kaerrel. Other than that I have a R Simmons white synthetic and a Utrecht. The cheaper fall apart a bit more but that can be good for interesting textures.

@@JaredCullum Good tip! I was going to ask about the brush too, lol.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! That means a lot :)

Thank you :)

Hah! I love to work from life as much as possible but with 2 young kids and a crazy schedule, it’s just too hard to only work from life. Thank you :)

Haha

@@JaredCullum I saw your video "posted 58 seconds ago" and knew it was my chance🤣 Seriously though, I love your work, started watching your videos a few weeks back and it's really inspiring stuff. I have a ways to go learning the ins and outs of watercolor and gouache myself, but I'm trying not to get too intimidated by it, haha. Hope you're doin well!

Hi! Thank you for watching. The wash color doesn't really matter since you cover it up. You can use it for either contrast by picking a color that contrasts your final , like a cool vs warm or warm vs cool. A lot of people use just burnt sienna or burnt umber or some mix of the 3 primaries. I like to use multi color because it helps me to block in the big shapes fo the drawing first.

I'm so glad :) that really means a lot to me.

It’s just part of a drawing exercise. I don’t care about it being “secret” anymore but part of the exercise is that you pick one sketchbook no one is allowed to see. Then you’re more likely to draw more if you don’t have to make perfect looking sketches. Less pressure

Yes that is such a good idea. Do you keep the sketchbook in a big drawing comunity. Red is a colour that jumps inbeteween lots of black books it is a signal colour greetings 😊

@@christianebehr138 that would be a neat idea. Its just a drawing practice I have done over the years to improve and always recommend to students. :)

So thanks for your notice. It is time for me to start a sketch book have a nice sunday greetings 😊😊

I am dying to!

I wouldn't know who to contact to go but if I did I would because I adore Alaska and would love to paint there again. :) Especially teaching! :)

It is a reference to a video I did on a drawing exercise I have done for the past 10 years involving picking 1 sketchbook no one can look at and drawing only from life with ink fountain or roller pens. There’s a link to the explanation in the description

​@JaredCullum The link doesn't work though.

@@isabellabrodowsky9618 thanks for telling me- I’ll try to fix it

@@isabellabrodowsky9618I added it to the “related video” so it should link. My apologies to all! I’m not great with UA-cam stuff. Thanks for your patience

Was a gift from a friend - sorry

@@JaredCullum I wasn't asking you to sell it to me. Joseph's wife Lisa will sell the book and I just want an idea of how much it will cost

@@PaulOniel534 I didn’t think you were, Paul. I was saying I don’t know. I wish I could tell you- my friend got it and sent it to me. I don’t know what it cost. I bought the last one and it was 125 I think.. so my guess would be around there. It has less pages but a nice slip cover. I would be on 125-150 and then shipping but I could be wrong. Sorry im not more of a help on that

@@JaredCullum thank you so much, sorry for the misunderstanding

I have a couple in Chinese like chien chung Wei’s book. I just use google translate with the audio feature and it translates and reads it out loud like an audiobook.

It was produced for an exhibition in China going on at the moment.

@@JaredCullum thanks for letting me know. Do you know if it will be released in English too?

Thanks for watching! :) I’m always around to offer help on your journey. It takes patience but anyone can learn to improve drawing.

Thanks for watching!

Azo yellow, yellow ochre, cad red light, alizarin, ultramarine, burnt sienna, burnt umber, lilac, rose pink although I didn’t end up using it.
