How exciting!!!! Adore the kits you’ve put together for everyone, such a special idea that filled my heart with artist joy, wish I was going on this trip! Have the best time, safe travels and can’t wait to see you again 😊 🎨

Sophie!!! More of these please. It was like getting a nice little chat with a really good friend who was trying to just reassure me that it’s ok to play or even just to try. You inspiring me so much and now I’m off to think of a name for my current art journal ❤

Loved the explanation, the choice of colours, the different angles for the portrait, the idea to insert plants, to play with the hair.. loved loved loved. The same time that each colour and little pieces in the sketching looks very organic and natural, it also looks it was really thought about it. A mix of talent, dedication, lot of practice during the years and a lot of emotion/heart put into each page.

Wow! Wish I was going, looks like you are all gonna have SO much fun!!! I can’t wait to see what you fill your sketchbook with!!!! Have a super fun and inspiring trip!!!❤️🎨❤️

Have a wonderful holiday with lots of sketching in Ireland and Scottland!

Sophie, it was painful to see you break your crayons, for sure. I know I should break mine for ease of use, BUT…..

Hope you have an amazing trip! 😂 I’m definitely an over packer x

the self-made palettes 😍😍😍 the breaking montage 🤣😂🤣 laughed so hard while twitching every break, didn't laugh like that in a long time (can't even remember, so thank you💛) you are perfectly prepared. your group is the luckiest in the world. and i wish you a wonderful time in Ireland and later in Scotland. you will be missed all the wihle:)

this was so so cozy, i wish i could go on the trip with yall

You should check out jam art factory if you’re in dublin they’ve got prints by loads of different Irish artists

This was such a joy to watch, Sophie! You did so well deciding on Tombow markers, I'm such an overpacker when I take art supplies away! Hope you have the BEST trip to Ireland and Scotland!

The gummy green, is it „green earth“? I have the same issue with earth colors, like green earth and others. Also when there are in a pan, it‘s difficult to activate them. I also make watercolor paints myself and I made green earth and like sienna and they have the same issue. I think it’s just the way the pigments are. I have experienced this with a lot of earth colors (home made and bought)

It’s so exciting about the trip I’m sure it will be loads of fun but I know that if I was going somewhere I’d most likely save a bunch of extra money to take with me and then hit up whatever art shop I could find to buy art supplies from that country that I wouldn’t be able to get where I live.

I LOVE the kits you are giving to those attending your art trip to Ireland! Also loved seeing all the art test supplies, giving me so many ideas of things I want to get 😂 I've never used Neocolors but I love the Caran dAche brand so I may want to check those out.

What a special treat your traveling gang has in store! So fun! Have a lovely trip!!!🥳(And take good care of our sweet friend Sophie on that looooong plane ride💕😜)

I swear you are the best sketchbook salesperson; I always want to buy any sketchbook you show us 😆. I can’t wait to follow along this trip online! If you ever do another one, I would love to join your group!

HAVE THE BEST TIME! 🤗💖✨

Everytime an Australian talks about their Kmart, I get jealous. Your kmarts sound way classier than ours ever were. Sounds like your kmart is akin to our targets🎯 maybe? Do y'all have targets there too?

Hi Sophie, I love the little notebook you put together to help others find somewhere to start when sketching . I see it’s only for your travel group . Unfortunately I live in US if not I would have definitely tagged along . However I’m so interested in that advice in the booklet . Any way you can have it in pdf for purchase like an ebook style ? ❤

I got my first Stillman & Birn sketchbook in 2017 and fell in LOVE. The Beta series is my absolute favorite ❤️

I just want to say, those gift bags are so thoughtful and well out together. Very sweet to see.

I had suuuuch a nice time watching you talk about your art supplies and honestly I'm so excited for you that I bought myself a Stillman and Birn sketchbook so that I feel like I'm coming along even though I'm not ahah. I hope your trip goes well!! ❤ this was such a lovely video Sophie!! ❤

for sure going to watch, but first... coffee !!

It's so lovely that they provided so many sketchbooks for your trip! the alpha is my favourite too 🥰

How do you get the gouache not to crack out of the palette?

It hurts every time you break them😂😂😂

If you need art supplies in Ireland, Evans Art Supplies are the go-to

I love that with this video I don't feel alone bringing lots of art materials to my holiday every year hahaha 😂😍 Can't wait to see a video of you painting in Ireland and Scotland 🤭

Such a dream trip!!! I hope to go one day 💕

What is the name the icy blue holbein gouache color at top right? 😍 Also, I may have to add some Winsor and Newton Opera to my collection. 😂 Enjoy your travels!!

aw gosh I was so tempted to book this trip, hope you guys have an amazing time over here! I'm in England but Scotland and Ireland are sooo gogreousss

I’m looking forward to traveling vicariously with you! Fingers crossed for a Scottish collaboration with Sarah Burns!🤞🏼

thank you🩵🩵🩵

So so sooooo excited to see your adventure in Ireland 🥹🥹🥹✨✨💖💖

Hey I live in Scotland! I hope you have a great time 🫶🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💗🌷

The gummy green is probably the binder and pigment separation, it's normal and actually happens pretty often - stirring the paint in the tube with a needle or toothpick should fix the problem, sometimes you can also massage the tube, it just depends on how separated it is😊

I wonder if there is a pencil extender that would fit those Neocolors? Splitting them definitely makes sense for traveling. Have an amazing time.

Have a wonderful time!

Once you love a greyhound….❤ you never go back

Hope you have a nice time!! I did with your video🎉🎉🎉🎉 love it so much!❤❤❤

I hope you have the most wonderful, magical time! So much art time and fun filled magical travels. Can't wait to see the videos and the artwork you do! Safe and happy travel arting. 🌈🎨🍀☘

I can't wait for you all to have the trip and I am so excited to see what everyone is going to create! Mentally I'll be with you 🩷🥰 Have a lot fun!! Also in Scotland! Dreaming to go on trips like that 🩷 Also got the impulse to pick up a sketchbook and watercolour tin like yours haha!

Hope you all have a wonderful scribbling holiday in sunny Ireland 🇮🇪, safe & happy journeys to you all xx
