A Peek Inside My Sketchbooks + Favorites
Hi! I posted on IG last week a little glimpse at all the sketchbooks I’ve filled up over the years (since starting Makewells in 2012), and I got so many questions about what sketchbooks I like to use. So I thought I’d give you a peek inside the latest sketchbooks and a little info on why I like the three sketchbooks I’ve been working in.
Lately, I’ve been working in an Arteza watercolor book - it’s pretty big, 8.3” x 11.7”. Currently, they say it’s out of stock, so this isn’t much help. But I really like the way it opens flat with no spiral in the middle, and it’s great for all sorts of media.
My most often used sketchbook is a Canson mixed media book. I have gone through 12 of them now, and they are also great for all kinds of media. I used watercolor, acrylics, markers...everything in here. And they are super affordable. There is a spiral in the center, so I usually work one page at a time as opposed to creating open spreads.

And the last favorite sketchbook I use I reserve mainly for doing funky floral spreads in. It’s Moleskine Art Sketch album. It’s better for acrylic paint for me, but I’ve still used a lot of different supplies in it. And it’s very flexible and nice that the pages open flat and I can create nice long spreads. I use this one a lot if I put up a time lapse video.
So there you go! My 3 favorite sketchbooks to work in (right now that is…). If you’d like to see more from my sketchbook, check out these posts:

Mother's Day Coloring Page - FREE Printable!
Hey guys! Can you believe it?! I’ve posted on my blog 3 times in the last couple weeks! That’s quite the record considering I hadn’t posted on here since May 20, 2019. Maybe this will be the new norm…maybe not, but I’m happy with my progress.
So I’m back, with yet ANOTHER free coloring page! I am having so much fun creating these lately - they are the perfect way for me to doodle in my sketchbook while Livi plays outside. She’s obsessed with roly-polies and playing in the dirt right now. So, I just sit back in my chair on the porch and doodle away! I’m getting better at balancing this whole “work from home and be a stay-at-home mom” thing.
Anyhoo - scroll down and click the link to download this FREE Mother’s Day coloring page! It’s formatted for normal letter sized paper. And, if you give these to your kids to color, you are guaranteed a Mother’s Day present and finding a way to amuse them during this whole pandemic thing. Win win! Enjoy!
