Come join me as I flip through my freshly finished Travel Journal sketchbook.
We gathered together in Longford, Tasmania, for a 4 day retreat. We explored the grounds of Brickendon Estate, painted and drew endlessly.
If you'd like to watch a sweet little glimpse into the things I saw and did over the retreat, head over to this video: • My Time at ꕥ Fortuna A...
And this is the video I made when I was prepping for the retreat: • Get Ready For An Artis...
This art retreat is the first one (of hopefully many) created by Thali / thali.demeter

I think you need to change the title of this video from “sketchbook tour” to “ART BOOK tour”. Every page is better then the last!

@SophieMcPike Ай бұрын

Hehe!! This sketchbook defiantly has a LOT of 'finished' paintings, rather than my usual scribbly, messy sketchbooks :)

Your use of white space and contrast is BRILLIANT. Sophie, you are such an amazing artist. Love the donkey

Such beautiful art Sophie and I want stickers of the donkey and the pink bee flowers, they are so fun and stylish!

Such a radiant and silly little blob of goodness you are, sophie. I love how each drawing, each painting, gives me a glimpse into your eyes of the world. It's so inspiring to look at what you've made, hehe! Every little doodle and scribble your brain creates is a goldmine for inspo. Your beauty shines through in your art. From one blob to another, you're amazing and never stop being you!

I see myself as a silly little blob, for sure! haha! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A haha is a lawn with a big drop along the boundary with a grass meadow behind so it looks continuous. It’s called a haha because people would continue walking along the lawn and not see the drop and they would fall over the edge in an ungainly heap making everyone laugh at them!!

@SophieMcPike Ай бұрын

I LOVE THAT! hahahahah!

Wow Sophie this is just GORGEOUS GORGEOUS! This is such an inspiration. Sketchbooks like this are treasures. You’re making us all want to go out and create. But I learned something new today………. You don’t have bumblebees 💔 …… I’ve made a couple of Victorian love letter pockets and trying to fold it was very challenging.

@tasticola Ай бұрын

They're a pest in Australia x

@SophieMcPike Ай бұрын

Thank you so much!! The first time I ACTUALLY ever saw one was in New Zealand when I was 16 and they are so so cute! I've just learned that they are introduced to Tasmania and doing harm to native bees, which is awful :( Bees have it hard enough as it is!! In Chile they have BRIGHT orange Bumbles and they are the endangered ones! Bees are just lovely anyway ❤❤

your sketchbook tours are insanely inspiring! every little line is full of life, and the colors you use are so unique. even the palettes i would never think of putting together, you always make them work and it's all so beautiful! so glad that i've found your channel, it feels like i've found a treasure chest :)

One of my favourite things is to combine weird and wonderful colours together and figure out how to make them work! so fun :) Thank you so much for your gorgeous comment x

What a lovely memory of your trip!! I really love the donkey (and I saw 2 donkeys today too in fact Patrick came over and was rubbing on me so I groomed him with the curry comb) - and I love that pig drawing too. And those chickens! I havent tried to draw chickens yet but I drew seagulls yesterday: tricky to get the shapes just right.. But you are better at drawing loose. I also noticed a page with mossy rocks? That really stood out as rocks are hard to draw, to make them look like rocks (or for me anyway)... I think i would have trouble drawing leaves on the ground too.. Its late spring here.. Flowers blooming. I love bummblebees! I used to see them as a kid all the time but I hardly see them anymore. 😢 i think too many people use pesticide...

@SophieMcPike Ай бұрын

Rocks are SO HARD to draw/paint for me, too! I'm trying to defeat my avoidance of them before I head to Ireland next month, because there are loads of rocks there haha! Thank you for your comment! x

Whew, that was lovely! I enjoyed it very much. “Conblobulation” is a funny new word ala Sophie. Made me lol. You are really, really good with chickens and donkeys. I think you got those animal attitudes just right. I love what you do, Sophie. You always make me feel happy and very satisfied. Thanks! From Wisconsin 🐄 USA where we’re heading into summer. I’m almost done with my flower pots. I’ve found it’s easiest to pot flowers that will surround a little wooden porch. I call it my bower. Bower Flower Power! 🌼🌿🌸

Sophie, gorgeous as usual.... Sadly for Tassie, we have the Bumblebee. But it was carried in illegally or accidentally. Most likely from NZ. They're a pest here. They're a threat to native bees and the environment and to agriculture. Let's hope they never get across Bass Strait to Mainland Aus! As cute as they look, they don't belong in any parts of Aus. Enough preaching lol.... i really adore this wholesome sketchbook x Nell.

I figured they must have been introduced! Seems weird that they aren't on the mainland and only in Tassie. Good to know! Cute fellows, indeed. xoxoox

I love everything about this sketchbook. (I even upgraded my Patreon tier to snatch that print/sticker!) If you turned it into a book, I'd be on that presale list for sure. I really enjoy how many different supplies/styles you used throughout, so much visual interest...and all of the color palettes are sooo soothing. P.s. Conglobulation is my new favorite word.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that y’all don’t have bumble bees in the mainland of Australia?! What? How? Who is doing all the pollinating around there? Fairies? Yes. Of course it’s fairies. Although I also only learned that the UK doesn’t have raccoons or bears. I learn so much from KZfaqrs😂 Anyways… Truly a work of art on every page-finished sketch or otherwise! Those golden hour drawings and all the donkeys and cute fluffy chicken butts!😍🐓🍑

@french-teapot Ай бұрын

Ooooohhhhhh I was waiting for this!! And it doesn't disappoint, as usual. I think the thing I love most about any of your sketchbook tours is the variety of treatment you have on yours pages. So like, on one page you can be so loose and scribbly, and then suddenly the next page has some detailed, layered masterpiece on it! And then you have your swatch pages colour tests... It feels like the sketchbooks are kind of alive and breathing, there are the slow, soft breaths, and then the sharp intakes of delight when a picture makes you go 'ohh that's beautiful!!' And then it's calm again and so on. It's really so beautiful Sophie! I can't help but completely devour every video you do. XD
