Sketchbook Tour ✨Animals, Flowers, Belgium, Art Material Experiments & Fall | Strathmore Mixed Media

Welcome back - I’m so happy you’re here! 🎨💛 Today I’m flipping through the entire 64-page Strathmore Mixed Media sketchbook I finished last week. I usually reach for a budget sketchbook, but this one felt just right - lovely paper, not too pricey (about €25–28), and it handled wet media beautifully. In this flip-through you’ll find color experiments, travel sketches from Namur and Ghent, ink and gouache play, plein-air pages, charcoal studies, and lots of personal little paintings and tests. If you enjoy mixed media, travel sketching, sketchbook hacks, or cozy art videos, this one’s for you - come pick your favorite page with me! 💬✨ Many of the pages in this sketchbook were created during previous YouTube videos.
