Do you guys like messing around in your sketchbook like this? Sometimes it's fun just to make art to enjoy the process - that's why I love exercises like these!

@lillysartstudio4726 Год назад

So in love with this. I had a sit down for the first time after a really long time just procrastinating and actually managed to get some colour onto the paper. Thank you so much for sharing :) Uploaded the final result onto Instagram and tagged you.

Ahh that’s so nice to hear Lilly! I just saw the post on IG, you did a lot!

@MemoryOfGravy 3 года назад

Wonderful! I had no idea how much fun I could have just drawing patterns on watercolour blobs. I felt more creative than I have in a long time! Thank you!

@monkeymintaka 3 года назад

Awesome! So happy you liked the warmup ideas :)

@seeannedesign 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing these warmup ideas! I just got started learning watercolors and keep trying to get to something finished, whereas there is so much value and learning with just playing. Thank you again! Will try these out!

@monkeymintaka 2 года назад

I’m glad you found them useful! I love playing and experimenting, it’s definitely the fun way to learn :)

@delmastrodesigns 3 года назад

This was exactly what I needed. Love these little pieces.

Love your honesty and willingness to share your ideas!

@monkeymintaka 4 года назад

Thankyou 😁 Will you/have you tried any of these before?

@iadenicole931 2 года назад

Wonderful!!! I totally love it. You’ve given me so many ideas when I’m stuck. Thank you.

@monkeymintaka 2 года назад

That’s great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it :)

What a wonderful journal page and examples of circle’s and rectangles. I loved all of what you showed us of your watercolor journal. I hope you will do more abstract watercolor demonstrations for us. Thanks for sharing this with us.

@izzy8949 2 года назад

This is the first video of your work, and like you, I’m OBSESSED with ceeeceecreations!! I love patterns but like you, don’t know what to create, so I will have to try this as a warm up and hopefully then my brush will flow. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.xx

@monkeymintaka 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed the video!

@JanetOConnor 4 года назад

These are great exercises. I can’t wait to try them. I like the limited color pallets and different doodles. Sometimes I get stuck with doodle lines. I do the same ones over and over. Thank you for sharing.

@monkeymintaka 4 года назад

I'm so happy you found them useful! I really loved experimenting with watercolour last year!

Very inspiring 😊

Thank you!

@pennymeyer3416 Год назад

Just found your videos. LOVE, Love, love these exercises. This really helped me get over that hump of learning something new. I could use another one, maybe, please. 😍

@monkeymintaka Год назад

That’s awesome! I don’t really use watercolours anymore but maybe I could think of similar exercises for different mediums 🤔

@pennymeyer3416 Год назад

@@monkeymintaka That would work. Thank You!!

@heatherhuggins5888 2 года назад

These are also great ideas for days when you need/want to paint but don’t have the energy to do anything really involved. Also, re: the person who commented about “waste,” you never need to justify using your supplies to trolls on the internet.

@monkeymintaka 2 года назад

Oh yes definitely! I don't really use watercolour much now, but these are nice for other materials too. I know, I probably shouldn't reply. That was the first and only mean comment I've ever gotten though, so I'm pretty lucky :)

@hawraahusain578 Год назад

😍👏🏻

@awesomeroarsome3894 2 года назад

Those pattern pages are SO pleasing to look at! Definitely going to do some of this next week 😊

@monkeymintaka 2 года назад

Thanks Rhian :) This video is so old it took me a sec to remember, but yes, they are fun!

@helen31louise10 4 года назад

I’m yet to try these but I love watching creationsceecee - she’s got a ton of such drawing practice videos. I think you did wonderfully at that last one (my fave being the one on the left page), but I get what you mean: there’s a thought process behind putting the colour on paper that’s not quite hard but it’s not as easy as it may seem either 😉

@monkeymintaka 4 года назад

Yes, she's really great! I haven't done any watercolour this year, so this would be super hard for me right now to do 🙈

@ItsLizV 4 года назад

I love all of these :O I might give these a go but with inks instead. I keep telling myself I need to use my inks but I never do. This'll be a good way to do that ( and, it looks nice!).

@monkeymintaka 4 года назад

That's a good idea! I think all of these exercises would translate to inks really well 😂

@magalysuarez3233 3 года назад

@monkeymintaka 4 года назад

@terryrunyan 4 года назад

Thanks for following! Lovely to connect!

@genevrasiciliano5773 3 года назад

Loved this video. I'm a beginner and now I feel super willing to give your techniques a go. Can I ask about what equipment you used to film your video as well please? Thanks!

@monkeymintaka 3 года назад

That's great to hear! For filming I just use my camera - Canon G7x Mark ii. And then a manfroto magic arm. It's pretty simple :)

@leestone7663 Год назад

Can you share the color names please? Love the swatching…all I’ve seen so far

@monkeymintaka Год назад

I'm sorry, this video is so old now, I wouldn't remember 🙈

@smilingsunlight 3 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing these inspiring tips, I can’t wait to explore them! By the way Willa watercolour link is not working, is there another link please?

@monkeymintaka 3 года назад

Glad you liked the video! Looks like willa watercolours isn't on instragram any longer if the link is broken :/
