I love painting in sketchbooks, but they don’t always work out like I want them to. In this video I test 4 different sketchbooks using acrylic paint and give you my opinion of which one I like best. I also paint some sweet lemons and chat about how sketchbooks help me with my own art practice.
Want the free download I talked about in this video? It’s a book of 24 Painting Tips from my own experience as an acrylic painter. You may find it here: https://tinyurl.com/2p9ryxhy
