Hi everyone! 🎨

I’m thrilled to share that I’m working on a super exciting secret project with Etchr, the renowned maker of art materials. And I need your help to make a key decision: selecting the cover design for a brand-new sketchbook I’ve developed in collaboration with their team!

I’ve included two options—light and dark—and I’d love to hear which one you prefer 🌟 (the images are attached).

A little about the project: When Etchr reached out to discuss a potential limited-edition collaboration, I was over the moon! My goal was to create something that encourages artists to experiment and play without worrying about perfection. The limited-edition sketchbook is designed to inspire creativity and exploration. It features three different types of paper that are perfect for pushing the boundaries of watercolor and gouache:

100% cotton cold-press paper

100% cotton hot-press paper

Black cellulose paper

Every detail was carefully considered, from the paper choices to the cover infused with my own artwork. I can’t wait to unveil the finished product in 2025!

Please vote and help me choose the perfect cover for this special project. Your input means the world to me! ❤️

Congrats Anna! It always makes me happy to see your success 🩷

Wendy

They are both beautiful paintings. The tulip just seems to fit the context of what that little flap is doing. The fuchsia is also gorgeous, but there’s something that feels a little more confusing about it in the context of the flap.

Starr Loy

I see why you are having trouble. They are both amazing. Congratulations on your success. Love it.

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you Jo ❤️❤️❤️ I am soooooo excited about this one:) My best wishes to you and your family for a happy and healthy New Year! Wesołych Świąt :)

Maria Overlay

Both are so beautiful! The darker cover catches my eye mostly. What an amazing collaboration! Congrats!

Deborah Paradis

Love all of your art work!!! Love the whole new sketchbook idea!!! So much packed into one option, finally!!!🎉🎉🎉

Lisa Kinney

Gosh I don’t know you personally and I’m so darned proud of you and the achievements you’ve attained with your artwork! I love the white option!

Mal Mosely

brilliant Anna ...just to be difficult I like the dark tulip on outside and the white background for the fuchsia on the inside cover...hard to choose as they are both so beautiful

Marisol

Option1.jpeg the other one the crop of the image is not a good.

Lynn Muster

I love the tulip option, especially the inside photo. Just stunning!! 💖

Wildflower

How exciting to be making a sketchbook! I have avoided sketchbooks since purchasing several types with awful cellulose paper. This new Etcher one sounds like one I need to try!

John

I like the darker option. It seems better organized with image and text. Fantastic you're doing this. Proud to be one of your peeps!

Marlaina Capes

I love option 2… just to throw a wrench in things.

Lorrayne Cruz

Such stunning work. Congratulations on your success. No matter which art ends up being chosen, I plan to buy at least 2 sketchbooks.

Judith Light

Good Luck and you so deserve every good thing that happens for you, you are a great artist and a beautiful person, thanks for being my teacher. Both lovely but the darker one has more impact in my humble opinion♥

eli

either way I need one! #teamanna

Grazyna N

I prefer option 1. The flower in this painting is a gladiolus and not a tulip.

Peggy Baker

I love them both but my first choice is Option 1 .

Brenda Vidriales Chavez

Congratulations Anna!!! Both are beautifull, but I prefer the one with the white background, wish you successful in all your proyects allways, God bless you.

Amanda Clayton

Congratulations Anna. Both are beautiful but I think the Gladiolus is so stunning that I have attempted it twice. Its a show stopper!!

Angela

So gorgeous, both options. Congratulations on the collab! I think the dark background with tulip is my favorite, but you cannot go wrong either way. Happy holidays and many blessings.

Patricia Therasse

Both are stunning! I like the dark cover just a tinge more.

Cami W

Many congratulations to you, Anna! Both options are beautiful! I believe I like the dark cover a smidge more. 💖

kim smart

They’re both gorgeous!! But I’m more draw to the dark cover w/ the tulip flower 🥰

Sal

First congrats!!!! And second, they both look great!!!

Lynn

Congratulations! A difficult decision as both are beautiful. Looking forward to purchasing it and the hardcover of your new book!

Erin Watson

Either one is absolutely amazing! You have put a lot of time and thought into this project. I think the darker one looks a smidge more refined and expressive if I can use that as a descriptor. The other doesn’t look cheap by any means! You know how certain packaging can make something look slightly more expensive. ❤️

Janice Meyer

Congratulations!! How exciting. Both designs are beautiful. I liked the dark one just a bit more. :) Blessings for a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Joan flanders

They are both lovely, but I prefer the dark cover.

Cheryl Allen

I am drawn to the lighter one because the white paper always makes watercolor “pop”. Both options are beautiful. I am enjoying painting with you and refreshing my skills after an extended absence from painting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

CynthiaJQ

Love the dark cover! Gorgeous!

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you Erin! Looks like the dark version is the winner:) Happy holidays and thank you for your support!

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you so much Amanda! Looks like its a clear winner and we'll go with gladiolus:) Happy Holidays and my best wishes for 2025!

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you Brenda - same to you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you so much Grazyna! And you are absolutely right it's gladiolus, and I mislabeled it by accident:) Happy Holidays 💖

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you so much Judith! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year 💖

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you John! This wouldn't be possible without the support of this community - I appreciate you all so much 😊 Happy Holidays!

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you! I've been using their cold pressed cotton sketchbook for years and they are fantastic. I am hoping this one I am working on together with Etchr team would be a worthy addition to their collection and most definitely full of high quality cotton - we are testing the papers at the moment and I am very excited 😊 Happy Holidays!

Anna Bucciarelli

Lisa, thank you so much! I truly couldn’t do any of this without the incredible support of this community. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you, and I’m excited to continue creating classes (and now products!) to inspire and uplift the creative community we’ve built together. Wishing you the happiest of holidays and a bright, beautiful new year!

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you, Deborah! I’ve always dreamed of having something like this, so I’m beyond excited to have the opportunity to design it. I truly hope others love it as much as I do!

Rhonda DeHoff

Very exciting! I look forward to buying one of your sketchbooks!

Kirsten

Kia ora (hello) Anna, Thanks for the opportunity to vote and congratulations on this exciting collaboration! Both covers are beautiful. The darker one with the tulip is perhaps more eye-catching and dramatic, so gets my vote. Am learning so much from your tutorials, including how to look at the object intensely to see all the colors. So thank you and wishing you and yours a happy festive season.

Jessica Herrick

I tried to think which one I would reach for first in a store, and the white cover won. Both are of course stunning, but from a marketing standpoint the white one attracts the eye much faster. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share in the decision!

Linda O'Neill

Both options when clicked showed only the white with fuchsia flower. Unknown what I did wrong.

oriole adams-harris

Must be the only one who likes the dark cover. It looks more expensive and cohesive.

Debbie

Hello Anna! I love the dark one. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

haida fdila

I love the option whith the tulip, my favorite flower. The contrast between dark and the white flower is eye catching.

Capa Jensen

I love the dark version-- the blue and pink contrast beautifully. Something that initially drew me to your work was how vibrant the colors in each piece were, and I think that the dark version of the sketchbook feels especially vibrant.... So it's quite fitting!!

Jonie Avila

I think the black makes the colors pop

Ana

I love option A. The tulip flower is so beautiful and vibrant!!

Julie Ash

They are both amazing, of course! But the pink covers more of the art cover paper and so pops out more. So, option A. I'm not quite sure about the 'light' and 'dark' as they both have the same blue cover on my list. The insides are both white. So, not sure how you are categorizing dark and light. :)

Sharon Trainor

Hi Anna, thanks for letting us participate. I love them both but the B option is my pick. It pops and I love the beautiful colors of the flowers. Your knew book is on it's way to me, I can't wait. You are so appreciated as my favorite!

Lorrayne Cruz

Are the pre-orders for the sketchbooks available yet?

Anna Bucciarelli

Tomorrow morning 😊 Thank you Lorraine! I’ll make an announcement post with all the details ❤️
