QUICK Watercolour Sketches on a River Boat || Unlock Your Creativity

Рет қаралды 6,023

Күн бұрын

My good friend, Gudi, was visiting from Germany and we took a river cruise on the Dart River from Totnes to Dartmouth. Along the way I created quick, loose watercolour sketches of the breathtaking landscape. Join me as we visit the Dartmouth Museum, create a quick sketch in town, and paint the journey.

Thank you for showing us what is possible with just a few colours, a waterbrush and a tiny piece of paper. The three little paintings and the filming of your day out are captivating, and always love to see Poppy, what a great little dog 🐶 🤗

Thanks! It was so nice to be in the open air splashing about some paint. It was a lot for Poppy though; she slept for 24 hours afterwards! 🐶

Ahh! This was so lovely. I woke up early and having my cup of tea at 5.30 am I’d save this to watch and I wasn’t disappointed - what a lovely relaxing and informative journey you took us on. This brought back a lot of childhood memories too as there are many links for me and the Mayflower as a recurring theme. My dad was doing his national service in Harwich when he’d travelled to London and met my mum. Within 6 months they were married and had emigrated to Canada for a better life, and we ended up in New England, Cape Cod. I remember it so well. Our travels eventually brought us back to Europe and I came full circle when my work brought me back to Harwich a few times a week. To see where my dad had been in his youth and where the Mayflower had begun its journey to the New World is such a strange thing. It was lovely to see another link in the chain of that amazing journey and those incredibly brave people who made it. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.

I’m glad I could provide a little extra bit of context for the Mayflower. I wish I’d had more time at the museum. It’s definitely someplace I’d like to go back to in the future. 😊

Thanks for taking us along! I think watercolour sketches like these are great for practice sessions as well learning to focus on capturing the scene at the moment. I’m always too focused on the sketch and I end up being nit picky about the details that I often forget to enjoy myself while painting.

I really enjoyed your video because I loved tagging along for the experience and because your journey reminded me of the days when I had a one hour train commute. I carried a small sketchbook, a pen and some colored pencils and drew the whole time in both directions. The bumps from the train were just a part of the drawings. During that period, I was drawing at the table at a friend's house when another friend kept bumping the table. My friend admonished the bumper, but I actually didn't consider it a problem because incorporating vibrations was something I was totally used to by then.

I wanted one for sooo long and once I finally got it I didn’t really like it. It’s adorable, but the palettes are so small and fragile (my daughter broke one of hers). I’d recommend their pocket box instead. It’s a terrific starter box!
