NO LONGER SCARED! | Working loose & getting over the fear of the sketchbook | Essee watercolours

In this video, I'll talk about finally allowing myself to work in two different styles (tighter/more precise with a lot of detail vs looser) and how I managed to get over the mental block that stopped me from doing this for so long. I'll also share the value of working in a sketchbook and how I've gone from being someone who felt very intimidated by sketchbooks to someone who couldn't imagine being without one! I hope that you'll find this video useful or inspiring, and I'd love to hear your thoughts about working in sketchbooks in the comments section below.
