Oh yes Helen, please do a small video of the camping setup of your car camper. Definitely looks & sounds like a great fun camping & painting adventure. This is a beautiful painting & your updated photograph with new glasses 👓 is gorgeous too. Thanks so much for sharing this great video!

What a great set up in your car! Would love to see more of it. I agree it’s quite relaxing and enjoyable to just loosely doodle. And as always, I love your splodge and scribbles. Didn’t get chance to comment on your last video from Spain, I really liked the pieces you did there, especially the window painting. Thanks for the video. And I love your glasses, they look great on you.

Hi Helen , welcome back from beautiful Girona , I'm sure you enjoyed your time there with your daughter . The car looked really cosy and yes please , a vid show a bit more would be lovely . I've always felt that a charcoal pencil and a Sharpie are briliant stress busters but after watching your videoes have now added tempera sticks to that list of essentials . As ever , many thanks , Mike in Exeter xx

Yes, I would like to see your car camping set up too! My current car is a bit too small and the seats don't lay flat so I can't overnight in it (hoping I can with the next vehicle). What I have right now is a day trip rolling locker I guess ;-) During the pandemic, I even got a bucket toilet and pop-up shower tent so that I basically had my own portable bathroom (all the rest areas and public facilities closed and I didn't want to be constrained to trips/timing where a handy, private piece of woods was nearby lol). When it rains or snows, I just go "plein car" painting ;-)

@margaretpinsent6388 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for this. From plein aire to en voiture! I love the one you did last from the van. The pink was perfect. I wonder could we see how you use the pencils sometime, along with watercolour, pen, and I think you used a pencil. Do you activate them, or just leave them be? Your set up looks wonderful! I think just stopping somewhere in the car, to draw and paint is a great idea. I stopped on a farm track today, and 20 minutes of bliss, engrossed in my sketch and paints.

My husband just got made redundant and I’m semi-joking considering selling the house and moving into a van (a friend suggested a decommissioned double decker may be a better choice given my art supply stash lol). Looking at your car, complete with hot choccy and comfy blanky, I think I could happily live in there instead Helen 😂.

I'm really sorry to hear it - a worrying/stressful time... I very much hope you find the best way forward. One of my not particularly guilty pleasures is watching van life videos on KZfaq. There are some amazing people out there!

I got rid of inktense before i even bought any other art supply i hated them that much. 10 years in with £15k of art materials and i still hate them and wouldn’t use them again. I never enjoy anything from derwent really. It’s a shame they don’t improve the look and feel of their materials. I do however like their crazily expensive artists pencil range drawing paper.

@helencryer 2 ай бұрын

I'll give them another shot first! I do like my Derwent Lightfast and Derwent Drawing Pencils a lot, plus I think the Graphitint pencils are nice. I haven't tried their paper though!

Is it safe to use a propane burner in a close vehicle? Am I misunderstanding what that appliance is?

@helencryer 2 ай бұрын

It's butane, but as with all gas burners, you need to be sensible with them and know they give off Carbon Monoxide. I always have windows opened for ventilation when using in the car (and keep a fire extinguisher nearby).
