I love seeing people come together creatively and your participant pack was so lovely.

Lizard Landscape. Your work is lovely. And this is a wonderfully informative video, thank you. I've moved from Oxfordshire to Northumberland, by the sea, with moors and hills around me. You've inspired me to see if there are other sketcher/watercolourists in my area, to form a group, to sketch together. The landscape here is stunning too. In the past, before retiring and taking up sketching, we used to holiday in Cornwall, and loved The Lizard, staying in a B&B within walking distance, for wonderful walks.

Your videos are so helpful for me to prepare for what I could expect and how others go about it all. Thank you so much Mel for letting us see into your world.

Melanie, this video was so interesting and inspiring! I loved seeing how you do all the things that make up your art practice and business. As an artist here in Canada, I'm often quite baffled as to how to get my art "out there" without losing my time to actually make my art. You've definitely given some insight into how it is possible. Thank you❤

It is a balance and I often find it can be a struggle to get right. But start small and once you've done something work out a way to naturally share even if it's first with family and friends.
