I recently completed a little square sketchbook and would like to share it with you in this quick video. The sketchbook is from Amazon, but I think it has sold out as I haven't been able to find the same one since I bought it in mid-2024. The brand name is Lightwish, and the paper is 100% cotton 300gsm cold press, 12x12 cm/4.7x4.7 in. The paper surface is rather different to the traditional cold press watercolour cotton paper, but it does hold washes very well, and it is fun to paint on. **My website: https://anastasiamily.com/ **My Instagram: @AnastasiaMilyArt Music: "Soul in Love" by LightMusic from Pixabay.com

If you have been watching my channel for a while, you have probably noticed that a lot of my paintings are created without a preliminary drawing, but sometimes it is so relaxing to actually have a drawing ready and focus on the colours and the values.
