ALL CAUGHT UP…Finally finished all the current 2025 SketchBox monthly boxes…!

My goal this Summer was to finish all 28 months of SketchBox monthly subscription boxes I had accumulated. Yes…I’m proud of myself for reaching this goal, and I did it before Summer was officially over. (Actually finished last Tuesday, Sept 16th). So here we go…

#SketchBoxJuly 2025 was a great box of goodies…


Sketchbox Signature 12-set Professional Travel Watercolors (Canary Yellow, Pumpkin, Lipstick Red, Beet Red, Payne’s Grey, z Berlin Blue, Caribbean Blue, Eggplant, Imperial Purple, Emerald, Yellow Ochre, Chestnut Brown), Sketchbox Signature Long Round Brush (size 4), Caran d’Ache Neocolor II (Dark Grey), Hahnemuhle Zig Zag Book

This is a great set of travel watercolors, and brush. The Neocolor crayon was new to me, and works so well for sketching. The accordion travel watercolor zig zag book is a great addition to my travel supplies.

We live in a the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, so there’s always great scenery to paint from.
Loved the silo and red barn peeping out of the foliage around the field below.

#SketchboxAugust2025 was interesting. I haven’t done much work in utilizing “vanishing point”, which was the prompt for this month.


Sketchbox Signature 6-set Acrylic Brush Markers, Karin Pigment Real Brush (lilac, ochre), POSCA PC-350 Brush (gold), Prismacolor Vol-erase (pink), Clair-Fontaine Bristol Pad (4 x 6, 205 /gsm, 10 sheets).

The marker colors are so vivid, and loved the sketching pencil.

This is a takeoff of train tracks in a rail yard with some curvy switching tracks involved.
This vanishing point is another abstract of a city street with a tunnel at the end and possible buildings and windows along the way.

#SketchBoxSeptember2025 was too much fun, and I think I have a new favorite brush in the SketchBox Signature wedge brush…it can do most anything…so versatile! This month’s prompt was “in flight”.

We watched eagles feed in the field behind our house right before I started on this, so very appropriate.
And a loosely done hawk.

Thanks @getSketchBox for a fun 28-month’s-worth art supplies and tutorials. In the future, I will only blog for the current month (unless I get behind again.) Ha!
