I tried Hahnemühle Toned Watercolour Paper Sketchbooks! Lots of Artworks

I've used toned paper before, but not toned WATERCOLOR paper! Around Christmas I picked up these two little sketchbooks from Hahnemühle, and today I am going to try them out with artworks using different mediums; gouache, watercolour paints, and Graphitint pencils. Does the paper actually hold up to wet media? Let's find out!

Also the brown sketchbook is toned beige paper, and not toned tan, which I kept calling it throughout the entire video, doh!

I bought the books at Senior Art Supplies, which have retail stores in Melbourne. Here is their online store with all of the books: https://seniorart.com.au/index.php?ma...

Hey, cute haircut! Spot-on with saying that you're "going to anyway!" with regards to starting a new sketchbook, hahaha. I agree 100% and that's why we have so many sketchbooks... and I love them all! When I moved my studio, I took a peek into my old subscription boxes and didn't find any Art Graf blocks, darn it. Oh well. Oh my goodness, I can't believe how many paintings you did in this one video - wow! While I like all your paintings, I especially like your watercolor ones. 😀

I like these sketchbooks or rather I love the tan but the grey is meh. I wish it was darker in value so white would pop. The grey tone is more like newsprint and dingy. I do love that tan/beige tho!

That cow is hilariously grumpy!

I love that you drew so many different things! Love the greyscale window, cow, and love how that birds at sunset one turned out

I love that you include the pieces you consider failures and that you explained why. It’s nice to be reminded that the YouTubers who do art are not always perfect with their pieces. It’s a good reminder for us beginners that not every piece turns out perfect. Altho I thought the snail turned out well. The cow was my favorite (even thought I don’t like cows).
Have you thought about using a blow dryer or a heat gun to help dry your work faster between layers? It cuts down a bit on waiting times.

New subscriber from Tokyo, very happy I found you 😊

Oh wow, this has to be the most artwork you’ve done in a single video if I’m not mistaken!! I am thoroughly impressed. I have to say my favorites are definitely the unamoosed cow(lol), the palm tree silhouettes and the eye in graphitint. Eyes are one of my favorite subjects, but yes they take forever! I feel this way about tutorials also because it makes you feel like you shouldn’t be experimenting/learning yourself, but in reality, that’s what we all do as artists all the time argh! I think your new sketchbooks are off to a great start Becky😊

Great tip about the ink! I have these sketchbooks and don’t love them for watercolor (since it;s transparent), but now have a great option for Inktober! Thanks for being so upbeat, even when things don’t turn out, and all the FEARLESS experimentation -it’s so encouraging and inspiring. You’re quickly becoming my favorite art channel!

You were really on a roll. I love the cow-she is so funny. Over all I like the grey-toned book the best. It's more soothing to my eyes & you did really interesting things in it. The window was very cool!
