Felicidades !!!!!!!! Felíz Año Nuevo. Gracias !!!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Andrew, I have a bit of a problem with the color blue. It is a cold color in itself and all seascapes, water, sky look rather cold to me. Recently I painted, unfortunately from a photograph, a hot summer landscape. Cloudless sky, calm sea, sand, pine trees and their very beautiful shadows :))) And I got stuck because I couldn't capture the hot air in colors. I live on the Baltic Sea and it's a cold sea. Could you advise me what colors of blue to use to make it hot, but not like in the Caribbean? :)) Only on our northern seas? It's easier for me to paint a storm than heat, unless there are people on the beach, but without them, I can't. Warmest regards!

So beautiful , I wish I could do this , happy new year and many smiles wished for you xxx❤

Nope. Not allowed to use you fingers for blending, or a rubber, or powder. Just a pencil, 2b,4b,or 6b. But hey that was highschool in the 1980s.😂😂😂

Beaautiful, u gained a subs❤

Oh dear! Neil is lucky to have you as a friend who can fix his canvas! Great job! 😃

Love the casein demo. So fun to watch. Thanks!

Interesting. I wouldn't have had a clue but now I know. You're a good friend. Thanks!

Now you’re going to get those Baumgartner Restoration viewing numbers.

Good idea. Have to remember that. Happy new year!

Reminds me of my days putting a patch on a inner tube. Good job 👍

Good job!

Thank you for introducing me to Casein! Excited to try it out in my sketchbooks ❤

Just recently caught your channel and I like it very much. With the charcoal drawings, do you fix it shortly after the drawing is finished? How exactly do you do that? Thanks.

I just got charcoal art supplies for Christmas, should I be drawing landscapes?

Those ears sure were flapping! I love your water! You motivated me to go paint outside tomorrow.

This was so wonderful. It taught me so much about my oil pastels. Blessings

My goodest studio dog 🐕 name is Basil too. He’s a border terrier though

Basil's ears 😍 Merry Christmas!!!

Just gorgeous!!!! Merry Christmas!!! 🐾

Hi Andrew! You were sandblasted and I get SNOWblasted!!! Bottom line is, this is where the magic happens--outside! Every Blessing to you and your family for Christmas and every joy in the New Year. Hugs from the Canadian Rockies.

Basil does not care for that doggie coat...good sketch day-minus the terrible conditions. Merry Christmas ⛄

oh man that is epic! Basil’s face was too funny

Nice! And very windy🌬😬 Basil lay there like if the tide had brought him in. Merry Xmas to you and your loved ones 🎄

Finally! A drawing of Basil! Will there be a painting too?

Love your work! Thanks for keeping me inspired and entertained this year! I hope to be in Cornwall next year at this time! Merry Christmas!

true dedication love that Basil. Beautiful work under dire circumstances ahaha

Phew you certainly had your work cut out trying to sketch in that wind! Not easy when you are being blasted with sand too. What a great beach, so vast. It reminded me of when we were up in Bamburgh this summer and it was rather like that there, being buffeted about with strong winds and trying to stop the sand being hurled into your face. There was no way I’d be able to sketch in that. Hats off to you for persevering with it and videoing it too 👏 Brilliant. Love the oil pastels 😍 Have a super Christmas and I look forward to more videos in 2025!

Season's Greeting from Heather and myself. Enjoyed your videos throughout the year. All the best for 2025. Cheers 😊

Inspiring! The art's far more interesting than the dog.

Thank you Andrew, very inspiring and instructive to get to my own Neo pastels. Have a lovely xmas👍greetings from a very very mild Denmark, absolutely no snow in sight🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🌺🌺

I bet the pastel box was full o sand at the end…

Nice work, your landscapes, especially tjose along the sea coasts really do capture the very essence of the British landscape. Well done.

Lovely sketch! So nice to see M and Basil in today’s video. As always, so impressed and inspired by your en plein air weather adventures! Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday this week! 😃 xox

I only now got a very real feeling of what the difference is between having a dog as a pet, as opposed to a cat as a pet. My cat would NEVER follow me to the beach blasted with cosmic speed winds so I can sketch... Awesome sketch, amazing artist and a Super dog (especially when the wind flaps his cape) ! Was it your daughter, who filmed this? That's what I call dedication, well done! Thank you for the video and Merry Christmas and a very happy and productive New year to you and your family!

Awesome. You really captured the conditions. Merry Christmas!

now home for a hot cup of tea!

❤

Poor Basil! What a trooper. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Heroic sketch in extreme conditions! Kudos to you and Basil. I enjoy all your videos and hope you have a Merry Christmas.

Will the oil sticks destroy the paper over time?

That was exhilarating! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year x

Just love this, Andrew! 😍 I could watch your videos all day long, and that sketch is absolutely wonderful! 🎨 Your videos are such an inspiration to me. And Basil’s ears... 😄🐾 I made a video recently in the wind on the 19th Dec-nowhere near as good as this, of course, but it was a fun challenge! 💨 Have a fantastic Christmas and all the best for 2025! 🎄✨

Love your extreme outdoor sketching adventures and it’s always a treat to see you use oil pastels. Wonderfully windswept scene! Merry Christmas 🎄

What a fine way to mark the end of the year and the beginning of light returning! Having a beach to yourself is like having a cathedral to yourself - Creator and creator meet! The wind blown sand reminded me of a visit to Brittany in 1981 after a cyclonic crossing to Roscoff with a school trip. Walking along the beach you needed the sort of goggles Rommel had in the western desert! Many thanks for all the posts this year!

Good work Andrew and well done by your video maker.

Always good to see you and Basil braving the elements. I went down for a walk to the sea today - didn't take a sketchbook, did take a camera: mountainous would describe the waves, it remains to be seen whether I can paint them - I know you'd have a go, so I might try...

omg basils ears, lol!!! what an invigorating sketch location! lovely colors!

All the best to you and the sweet pup...

I had trouble just walking in that wind let alone trying to paint! Absolutely amazing. Total hero. Merry Christmas to you and basil from a windy isle of wight.
