Thank you so much, your videos are so inspiring. 🙂

Whoop whoop lots of fun times ahead!!!

I think you are amazing. Making something beautiful out of a blank page. Hope you had a warm drink when you got home.

Hi there, what was the wee printer model you spoke about?

Thank you! I love your art! The feelings of a winter day ! ❤

love what you do

It is wonderful to watch. What colour was your Inktense looked like blue but was it indigo? I like the second one

Really enjoyed your sketches, the way you create and your positive attitude to your image making. I need to get out sketching en plein air more and this inspired me. Thank you!

...and where did you get those nifty alphabet stamps?

Have you seen the tinted graphite? Im addicted. Thanks for a lovely, restful vlog. Jo in France 🇫🇷

You definitely were suffering for your Art! Thank you for sharing this beautiful scenery. I live in Florida, so I don't see snow and ice very often! Just marvelous!

I love Inktense pencils too. Loved watching you at work. You have inspired me to get out and about. Thanks x

Beautiful end result Colin - full of movement & texture… It’s been interesting to see how you develop your way of using acrylics, which looks quite different to the more common ways I’ve seen people use it. We can definitely see your love for w/c shine through… 🙌🏼🩵💚💛🤎

Hi Colin…I’m a brand new subscriber and really enjoyed your inspiring demonstration. Your cold toes bothered me though and I wondered if you have shoes or boots with a genuine shearling lining. Mine have made a real difference to me when I’m on an outdoor field trip with my camera. If that’s not an option for you, sitting with your feet on cardboard can help. Thanks for making me consider taking my inktense outside…love your results!

Love your attitude, thanks for sharing

I've had a pack of the Faber Castell aquarelle and never got to grips with them but I now have a better idea of how I could use them - thanks! Love the Inktense too, I think I may grab a couple of those to try.

Penniless porch is in the market square Wells Somerset😁 It’s part of the walls surrounding the cathedral. Love your watercolours.

I've a fallen tree in the woods behind my house that my mind translates into a dramatic pose of a woman, verklempt. I can see it from my upstairs window. I've been wanting to sketch it since it fell three years ago. It's winter here. I can go out and sketch it from the side yard, near the parking lot. Hopefully, no one will bother me. I've been wanting to go out around here to sketch but I feel embarrassed. It's wicked cold out; maybe, that'll keep everyone else inside. Watching you is very encouraging. Thank you for your gentle coaxing. I think I'm going to give it a go. ❤

I love ❤ this a lot 😊 I also do this with my waterpencils box ❤😊 Such a great and good. From Hungary, Budapest 🇭🇺 😘

Wish it was snow here........38° Aussie Fan❤

Thankyou Colin for your explanations on how to,is a great.

l have sat out side and sketched with pencil and when lam parked up some where l used to get the gear out and l do and have always loved nature,seeing you remind me of where l need to go to and if one doesn't do it then they deny themselves the pleasure and the beauty of nature,thankyou for your inspiration, love em both,

Love the Derwent Inktense one.

When I’m drawing in public sometimes I’m doing it spectacularly badly, like really really bad. It’s quite entertaining to see what people do when they come over for a nose and then feel compelled to find something nice to say, sometimes it’s because I’m doing some kind of experiment or responding to a silly challenge that won’t make sense out of context or I might just be making a mess. Other times I think im Doing a decent job and I get the exact same comments. It’s a bit of a leveller. It’s given me more confidence because most people we come across feel a compulsion to communicate and comment and will do do regardless of what I’m working on. Occasionally someone comes past who knows what they are talking about and that can be a nice change. But really it’s quite nice to just get on with painting. And to be honest if I get in the zone I don’t hear them and then people think I’m rude. The hazards of working in public. Such a lovely video, thanks for sharing your trip.

I love my Inktense and in particular the Indian Ink one. You have inspired me to take it outside. I only wish mine stayed hard like yours. Mine go soft in the Australian heat.

I love the pencil and want one. Hello from Iowa, USA

Absolutely gorgeous and no mistake! Thanks indeed for sharing. I would the company of a dog. Personally I use watercolour /Inktense /graphite /fineliner.. All in one picture. I love the process/mindfulness element so very much. Might join one of your courses some day.

I actually prefer the Faber-Castell version. Both lovely wee sketches considering the gloves and cold. I love to go out to mountain environments like Spelga Dam and work in the comfort of my wee car. Keep up the great work and thanks indeed for sharing.

It’s beautiful…I have some of the same pencils and never really used them… going to give it a go because of this post. Cheers!

Lovely painting! ❤❤❤❤🎉

Beautiful! I have a 12 set of Inktense pencils and a set of water soluable graphine pencils. I love them. I enjoyed watching you Sketch. It is very cold here in Pennsylvania, USA. So, I am not interested in plein air sketching at this time. 😂 Have a good weekend.

Colin I live in Southern Ireland near Cork. I would love to come to Belfast if you hold any workshops. I love your style and learn a lot from you on Utube. Please let me know. Thank Patricia Bradley. .

That was beautiful! I enjoyed watching you sketch that forest in the cold. Although the ground is similarly covered with snow here in Virginia USA, I think I'll sketch the woods behind our house from the window, instead of going out in it. I like both of your sketches; they each have their own appeal. The Inktense is vibrant but the graphite seems more delicate.

Loving this Colin, youve given me inspiration to go do some watercolouring, thankyou and just love watching all your videos they're so good, also love your style of sketching, im giving that a go too! 👍💜 xxx

Which DJI drone did you use?

Thankyou Colin - 😊 How do you fix / varnish acrylic paintings that have oil pastel embellishments? Or do they have to go under glass?

I really enjoy ink and water work. Great job

I have a good set of inktense pencils and blocks but have never got to grips with them. Your video has inspired me to really have a go at using them. Thank you.

I tried to order this paint set via your link for Amazon - just in case you were affiliated - but the link doesn't work for me. Thanks for the demo though, looks good, but that might also be your lovely piece of art....

I got these in blocks instead of pencil,that way i wouldnt waste any when sharpening but gawd,my fingers get covered. So,for anyone getting the blocks,use a latex glove or put something round the block. But regardless,i love love love these. They do have an inky look which is lovely.

I’ve only just discovered your channel. Nice to see your sketches, I have a couple of Derwent products, eg the Urban Sketching pan set. Nice drone footage too!
