  • 🎉Happy National Scrapbook Day to all my scrappy peeps! 🎉 I've shared this little doodle a couple of times over the years, my job for today is to scan it and turn it into a printable so that next year I can post a coloured version! After that. I'm going to catch up on some scrapbooking 😊⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #iNSD2020 #NSD2020 #nationalscrapbookday #nationalscrapbookingday #internationalscrapbookday #kawaiidoodle #doodles #doodleart  #sketchbook #doitfortheprocess #creativelifehappylife #carveouttimeforart #instadoodle #katehadfieldsketchbook #scrapbooking #kawaiiart #handdrawn #instaart #makearteveryday #makersgonnamake
  • I really enjoyed revisiting this old sketchbook doodle and turning it into a colouring page! There's something really meditative and soothing about just focusing on colouring in the page and seeing the design come to life.⁠ ⁠ If you fancy colouring these cheeky Easter characters, you can download the colouring sheet over on the blog (see the link in my profile!). There's plenty of space to add extra doodles or lettering, you could even turn it into an Easter card for a special someone. 🐇🐤 🥕⁠ ⁠ However you use it, I hope you have fun! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #kawaiidoodle #drawingoftheday #kawaiiart #kawaiidrawing #coloringpage #coloringisfun #colouringforadults #coloringforgrownups #eastercraft #grownupcolouring #coloringaddict #creativelycoloring #coloringtime #colouringpage #doodleart #instaart #colouring #coloring #madewithlove #colouredpencilart #katehadfielddesigns #katehadfieldsketchbook
  • In an effort to keep both myself and my kids entertained, I'm going to be making some more colouring pages over the next few weeks! Here's the first one (created from an old kawaii sketchbook doodle) - a group of cheeky, juicy citrus fruits hanging out together.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ You can download this over on the blog (link in profile!). If you do colour it yourself, I would LOVE to see your version so please tag me. (Extra points for wild and wacky colour combinations.) Stay safe my friends 🧡💛💚⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #kawaiidoodle #drawingoftheday #kawaiiart #kawaii #kawaiidrawing #colouringpage #coloringpage #madewithlove #colouringtherapy #coloringtherapy #doodleart #instaart #colouring #coloring #coloringforadults #colouringforadults #katehadfieldsketchbook⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
  • Today I have been having fun playing with some more goodies from the lovely folks at @artezaofficial! They sent me a set of Real Brush Pens along with their watercolour paper pads and this is what I came up with! . The watercolour pad was more much textured than I would usually use (I do love a nice smooth paper!) but I surprised myself by how much I enjoyed the texture. There was a bit of buckling but I did flood the paper with a LOT of water. The pens are lovely - they are nylon bristle brush tips (hence the name - Real Brush Pens!) with water based ink so they are more permanent when dry than watercolour. Which is great for me as I enjoy adding lots of layers and washes! I used the pens on both wet and dry paper, and I also dipped the nibs into water and then went straight onto the paper to build up areas of colour from light to dark. If you are used to watercolour you might have to work a bit faster with these as they do tend to dry a bit quicker than traditional watercolours. ⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ These aren't an alternative to Tombows but more an art journaling / fine art type of pen, you probably won't want to use these in your bullet journal as they will bleed through the thin journal paper! My only criticism with these was that I would have liked to have had more colours at my disposal, so I think I will have to treat myself to the full set of 96! I found them really freeing to play with and to experiment with washes, layers and blending the colours on the paper. ⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Let me know if you have any questions about these pens or if you try them out yourself, I'd love to see what you create! Many thanks to Arteza for sending me these pens to try.⁣ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Materials Used:⁣⠀ 🌼 @artezaoffical Real Brush Pens and Premium Watercolour Pad⁣⠀ 🌼 @tombow_uk black calligraphy pens 🌼 Inspiration from the #funkyflorals class by @makewells⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #gifted #artezaofficial #arteza #artwork #flowerpainting #flowerart #artezarealbrushpens #artsy #artoftheday #doodle #sketchbook #instaart #artjournaleveryday #sketchbookexplorations #doitfortheprocess #mixedmedia #creativelifehappylife #carveouttimeforart #katehadfieldsketchbook ⁣⠀⁣⠀
  • The lovely peeps at @artezaofficial sent me these watercolour pencils to have a play with! I've been pleasantly surprised by these babies, they're budget pencils (£28.99 for a tin of 72) but they're very pigmented and really fun to use! I picked a few of my favourite colours and cracked open a watercolour sketchbook to test them out.⁣ Here's what I found: they're all pretty highly pigmented (apart from some of the lighter colours) and they layer and blend well together. With the exception of a few of the pinks, the barrel colour is a great match for the lead colour which makes picking the right pencil really easy. They're comfortable to hold and lay down colour well. It does take a fair bit of water to activate them so you probably won't want to use them wet in your bullet journal (unless you like the wrinkled paper look!) but for art journaling and mixed media work on suitable paper they would be a great set for someone getting started with watercolour pencils. You could use them dry in your bullet journal, they don't blend as well as other coloured pencils but if you're looking for an affordable set of pencils that will allow you to work wet and dry, and to add pops of colour to your bujo then these would be a great choice!⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Let me know if you have any question about the pencils, or if you try them yourself - I'd be interested to hear what you think!⁣ Thanks to Arteza for sending me these to try!⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Materials Used:⁣⠀ 🌻 @artezaofficial Professional Watercolour Pencils⁣⠀ 🌻 @moleskine watercolour notebook⁣⠀ 🌻 @kuretakezigjapan Fudegokochi pen⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #gifted #artezaofficial #arteza #artezapencils #funkyflorals #watercolourpencils #watercolorpencils #doodle #sketchbook #instaart #artjournaleveryday #sketchbookexplorations #doitfortheprocess #mixedmedia #creativelifehappylife #carveouttimeforart #katehadfieldsketchbook ⁣⠀ ⁣
  • My word for 2019. Surrounded by pretty, soothing blue flowers because nothing remains undecorated for long in this journal! Inspiration for the word from @aliedwards One Little Word wordshop, inspiration for the flowers from @makewells Funky Flowers course.⠀ .⠀ I think I am going to keep a separate journal for the OLW workshop prompts, but I wanted to add a nod to my word in this journal too as I often flick through the pages. .⠀ (It's also worth noting that I'm very proud of myself for stamping o.l.w. and not owl which is what I have been writing Every. Single. Time. I've tried to use the One Little Word acronym so far..... 🦉)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #onelittleword #onelittleword2019 #olw #wordoftheyear #funkyflorals #bulletjournal #bujo #journal #artjournal #creativeplanner #dotgrid #bulletjournalart #bujojunkies #bulletjournaljunkies #plannerdoodles #plannerdoodles #bujoideas #bujodoodles #showmeyourplanner #bujoinspire #bulletjournalcommunity #plannerart #katehadfieldsketchbook
  • I treated myself to a set of Mermaid Markers (and the Paperchase ink pens too - gotta have all the pens!) this week, they're very messy and also lots of fun! I used them here to create some more realistically coloured sea-urchin circles - going to keep the background white this time after going for the deep blue background for my other sea urchin / pointillism skechbook page! .
