My Sketchbook March to April '23

Here is what I saw and did during the two months from early March until late April 2023. The thing about sketching is that you have a colourful and very creative record, nearoy day-by-day in mnay cases (like mine) of your life. I love to flick through my sketchbooks and relive the places I have sketched. My favourite sketches by far in this book are (as always) the ones of my kids. I guess that will never change.
I hope you enjoy my mini-exhibition. I must add that I am so grateful to have KZfaq to show my work, because as a sketchbook artist I will never have an exhibition of any other kind.
Remember, you can join me in class twice a week, every week, or in the replay if you can't make the live broadcast. I look forward to sharing my colourful and creative techniques with you - and helping you find your own voice as a sketcher too.
Link to my next class, Tuesday 25th April 7.00pm GMT+1:

More cool stuff on the way!

Thanks so much Kerrie. It does bring me so much joy. There was a time I resented not having achieved fame and fortune but then I copped myself on and remembered that I live immersed in beauty through sketching, all the time. After that I had peace (for a while anyway!)

Painters often get very pretentious about how one captures essence and the soul of a person, but you proved that you can do it with anything at 2:47. you can feel the motion of her rolling the dough. You can see she is determined, but the action also is relaxing and you can feel how relaxed and proud the boyfriend is. That is amazing. Your drawing at 0:41 looks amazing. I am a photographer and also like to draw and am hoping that when i push myself i can create the magic plein air sketchers and painters do, but from photos. Your stuff is amazing Roisin.

@roisincure Жыл бұрын

Thank you DeVerne! You’re 100% correct about capturing the “soul” - there’s nothing mystical, all you can do is draw what’s there - and only the most skilful can do that. The only reason I can do that is that I have drawn for fifty years! (Lots get there more quickly!) I also take no prisoners when it comes to being honest when I’m looking and I make micro measurements by eye. No magic involved but loads of skill. I very much appreciate your kind words and I wish you lots of success with your photography.

Fabulous work. Just the feel of pen and wash that I love. Lovely deep tonality too. And your feel for typography is excellent. Looks to me as if you have a graphic design background like me - 40 year career, now semi retired but selling watercolours through my Etsy shop. I came across this video and I've subscribed on the strength of it!

@roisincure Жыл бұрын

Thanks Ian! Oh if only you knew…No background whatsoever other than a year in art college at the age of seventeen. At the end of that year, and forever afterwards, it was wall-to-wall rejection. Takes a toll on any artist and it took me a long time to realise I’d dodged a bullet, because it’s much better to do your own thing, if you can keep your mojo flowing in the face of “no thanks” from the whole world! I have my own little tribe across the world now and we are very happy doing what we love, which is sketching from life.

May I ask which purple colour you use in your pen ? I just came across your channel and I subscribed as I loved it immediately . Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

I'm enjoying your videos. But I'm sad that you think you won't every have a sketchbook show. I only make art in sketchbooks and I've been in at least 6 shows plus I have a current solo show in my local community college. The group shows were organized by the Urban Sketchers chapters to which I belong. We could hang originals or prints. I make my own sketchbooks with a disc bound method. So my pages are loose.

@roisincure Жыл бұрын

My pages aren’t loose and will never leave my sketchbooks. To be honest, I reach far more people through KZfaq than I could ever dream of with an exhibition - and in my case people can actually get to know me through my classes, which are (as you know) priced to be accessible to everyone. I am proud to democratise top-level art, it’s a wonderful way to give back.

@gonecoastalfl Жыл бұрын

I always enjoy your videos Roisin. Can you tell me - is the purple ink waterproof? I wasn't sure if you inked then watercolored or the reverse. Side note- we're having trouble with our 2 Jack Russells males too, who have also decided to compete for territory in the house since a Great Dane female moved in next door. Need to get doggie diapers for them now!

@roisincure Жыл бұрын

Oh Gone Coastal I really sympathise. Last night our boy was clearly distressed, pacing everywhere, because he so badly wanted to mark but couldn’t as he was in his nappy. My husband said “That’s tough” but I feel sorry for him. Ink-specific video on the way. Probably tomorrow.

Thanks Catherine. The kit I use is at the end of all my videos, I didn’t include it with this one for some reason. Check out any of them. I can’t stand Moleskine, it has (or had) some kind of size on the paper that hinders absorption of the watercolour.
