A Campervan and Painting Trip Around a Scottish Island

[@anermila6325]

when i need something therapeutic, and like to see beautiful scenics (my homeland is a busy city! ), your touring videos are my go to! I love that you talk through your adventure；I find I learn a little more everytime 👏

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

That’s really great! I’m so pleased that you enjoy our journeys. We’ve had a little break recently, but we will get back to it soon. Best wishes, James

[@chamus4068]

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful trip . I love it. You are a really good team. 😊

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Chamus, Our pleasure. I’m glad you enjoyed it so much. It’s always good to know that people enjoy coming along on our adventures. Thanks for watching, James

[@NapoleonDynamites]

We were right behind you/side by side, as we turned off for the bridges and seen the camera set up in the front of the van 😀 small world 👍🏽

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

That was a coincidence. Did you recognise the van?😊

[@NapoleonDynamites]

@JamesPotterAboutArt No, it was a mistaken identity. Actually, we used to own a van the exact same as yours. Even the number plate was similar. So I drove close to see was it the couple we sold it to. Then we seen the camera setup.

[@puppetsnippets6830]

You do show Scotland off so well thank you. By the way Tyndrum is pronounced Tinedrum, (rhymes with nine), emphasis on the ‘Ty’. Scotland is full of wonderful names.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi, Scotland is a beautiful place and it’s a lot of fun trying to video it. Thanks for the pronunciation of Tyndrum, it’s complicated thing pronouncing Scottish words and places. I’m sure it won’t be the last time I get it wrong! Best wishes, James

Just back from spending 2 weeks on Iona sketching & painting and went to some of the music festival, what a lovely wee place, reminded me very much of our time spent living on Fair Isle in the shetlands. The Nunnery hooked me big time, love a bit of stonework in pen & ink.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Ann, That must’ve been great spending two weeks on Iona. It must’ve been great to have stayed for so long. We did walk past the nunnery a few times on our visit, really we were trying to get to North Beach as we had only a short time. Hope your paintings came out nicely Best wishes, James

[@k.b.1996]

Scotland is so amazing, glad you both had a great time! I also really hope to go in the next years, the country looks so pretty!

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

We did have a great time, thank you. Scotland is beautiful. There’s so much to see. I hope you manage to get here and hopefully when you come, the weather will be kind to you Best wishes, James

[@jaclee6]

Thanks for sharing your travel and painting. I have enjoyed following you on your journeys and your beautiful paintings!

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

My pleasure. I’m very pleased that you’re with us on our adventures. Best wishes, James

[@jimsmith3653]

Lovely video Tanya and James, we are so envious of your travels it makes us wish we still had our campervan. We set off to Devon on Saturday from here in Lincolnshire, about 6 hour drive, but the iPad goes with us so look forward to your painting. Thanks

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Really great that you enjoyed the video so much! Maybe you’ll get your campervan back one day. Hope you enjoy your trip to Devon,, I’m sure you’ll get much better weather down there than up here. I hope you enjoy Sunday’s video Best wishes, James

[@dorimikszta6463]

I’m loving the touring videos!!! We were scheduled to go to Scotland in 2020. As you can imagine, we didn’t make it. Hoping to get there in 2025 to celebrate our 30th anniversary…and might even catch a gallery showing of your wonderful paintings! Until then, the highlands of North Carolina will have to do!

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Dori, Glad you’re enjoying our touring videos. We had a trip planned to New York in 2020, which like yours never happened. Hopefully will get there in the end. If you see me in Edinburgh, say hello . Best wishes, James.

[@meastwood9509]

What a great way to start the day! I love watching your travel painting videos & I love watching you paint Pleine air.. You make it look so easy! I’ve never been to Scotland … thank you for taking us along. Such beautiful scenery.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

I’m so pleased you enjoyed that one and had a good start to your day! Scotland is a fantastic place with epic scenery. I’m sure we have lots more trips for you to come along with us. Thanks for watching, Best wishes, James

[@lyswn7052]

Watching this is a lovely start to to the day. Looking forward to other gems. Thank you both.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Lyn, I’m very pleased it started your day off well. We have lots of trips planned and it’s nice that you’re going to be coming with us! Best wishes, James

[@stephenfoster1818]

Hi James, thank you both for sharing and creating a glimpse of beautiful Mull. You both project your love,passion and joy sharing your road travels and painting. I feel I'm part of your trip and enjoy being on board. Thank you both. Ps just back from a few days wonderful in beautiful Windsor , straight into having a new drive laid. Hence why my sketching and painting is slow, thinking about it ...I should of sketched whilst in Windsor...I need to get in the habit? Steve

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Steve, Glad you enjoyed Mull it’s a great place. It’s good to have Tanya in the videos more as well. Glad you’re trying to keep up with the drawing. Remember the drawing doesn’t have to be perfect, as it’s not the end result but a stepping stone to the painting. Best wishes, James

[@stephenfoster1818]

Thanks for your valued reply, I accept things cannot be perfect. I will carry on with my watercolor journey with you.

[@alisonwickett3156]

Thank you James and Tanya I really enjoyed watching your trip Beautiful scenery Looking for to see the painting today (Sunday)

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Alison, Our pleasure! Mull is a beautiful place, full of amazing views, even when the weather is not at its best! Hope you enjoy the painting. Thanks for watching. Best wishes, James

[@alfhorlock9307]

Wonderful brings back happy holiday times there. On a coach trip i had to decide on a boat to Iona or Staffa ,not enough time to do both,

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Alf Glad you enjoyed the video. I haven’t done that boat trip yet, I’m sure I will sometime and I hope you’ll be going with us. Best wishes, James

[@roberthoward3723]

Even on a grey day light on that west coast is still rather dramatic. Thanks for the trip and drone coverage, I look forward to the painting

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Robert, It is a very dramatic place Scotland. We really feel we getting to know it a lot more now, although there are so many new places to see. Glad you enjoyed the drone. Best wishes, James

[@sandycols4870]

I love your tours around Scotland. Beautiful place, we've never been there but I'm looking at a cruise from Florida that ends up in Dover, then we could rent a car and tour around. I'm looking forward to the painting on Sunday! Thank you. Sandy, North Carolina USA

[@sandycols4870]

The drone footage was great too!

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Sandy, That sounds like a great idea! You could drive up via the Lake District, which is lovely. I will be doing some videos there sometime .then you could do the big tour of Scotland. I hope you enjoy Sunday’s painting. Best wishes, James

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

@@sandycols4870 Glad you enjoyed it. It’s fun to do!

[@robinleech3278]

WOW - sunglasses required, at least for one day! Love the drone video! And love beautiful Scotland! Keep these videos coming …

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Robin. The first day was wonderful! We did have some nice weather after that, but not the same. Glad you were enjoying the drone work, it’s a lot of fun to do. Lots more videos to come. Best wishes, James

[@hdub8093]

I live in Calgary!... Canada 😃

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

That’s funny😊 I’m guessing that’s where your Calgary‘s name came from ? It’s a very small place here. Best wishes, James

[@jennetbowdridge]

Marvelous video & looks like a fantastic trip! I see why all the Scottish immigrants felt at home when they arrived and called NS, "New Scotland". Just looks gorgeous!

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Jannet, I’m so pleased you enjoyed this video! It was quite an experience and we saw so much. The beauty of Scotland just goes on and on and on. What an amazing journey the Scottish people had when they came to New Scotland. I’d love to come over your way one day. Best wishes, James

[@garygreen1782]

Tobermory is a collection of compositions designed by an artist. I'm convinced. Beautiful. Haven't been north for some time. Great to see and experience it again through your painting vlog.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Gary, It really is a beautiful village set in an awesome location Maybe it will inspire you to venture North again Great that you enjoyed the Vlog Best wishes, James

[@Georgeolddrones]

Brilliant love the video thanks guys more please❤👍😂🇬🇧

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi George, Great that you’re enjoying our video so much! More to come Best wishes, James

[@martyncozens5654]

Hi Both. Wonderful vidio of Mull, I also Enjoyed the recent one walking around Edinburgh, looking forward to Sunday, hope the weather picks up again.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Martyn , Glad you enjoyed the Mull and Edinburgh videos. The weather continued to be a mixed bag, but we did have some good moments. Best wishes, James

[@baileythompson7040]

I love it!! What beautiful scenery! Tanya, you have done such a wonderful job of filming. And I love the drone shots. They really add to the visual experience. James, what a gorgeous scene you picked to paint. How wonderful to find such a perfect spot. Can't wait to see the full video of your process as you paint the entire scene. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Tanya is doing a great job with the filming! The drone shots are surprisingly fun to do. I hope you enjoy the painting video on Sunday! Thanks for watching. Best wishes, James

[@paulappswildlifeart]

You guys have whetted my appetite to come that way sometime in my Clarabelle and paint, I have never been to Scotland for more than three days, so I have enjoyed visiting Mull with you. Enjoyable. If you ever get the chance to show your camera filming setups for painting and in the van, it, for me would be great to see. Always trying to refine my own endeavours. All the very best to you both, cheers Paul

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Paul, That’s really great that you’re thinking of coming up to Scotland. It’s a great place to travel with your campervan. It’s a pity you can’t guarantee the weather but whatever happens you’d have a good time. Tony has been talking about doing a review on the campervan at some point and I’m sure we could also pop in something about our videography. Hope all is going well with you and your channel. Best wishes, James

[@johnkerr6826]

I love these videos James, except they make me homesick! It has been 40 years since I was last in Oban. Keep them coming.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi John , Great to know that you’re coming with us on our videos. Hopefully you’ll be inspired to come back sometime! Lots more to come Best wishes, James

[@maxineatiyah1524]

What a lovely video, so nice to feel part of your travels!

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Maxine, Glad you enjoyed the video and it’s really nice that you came along with us! Thanks for watching. Best wishes, James

[@mikepreston6048]

Got so excited when you headed north. Oban is so beautiful with so much potential for an artist. Only been to Mull once and not explored much, so thank you for showing us around. Look forward to the next instalment both painting and touring. Thanks to both of you for sharing your adventures.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Mike , It did it is very exciting heading north. It does feel like a big adventure every time! Mull was great and surprisingly big, with some great views. Lots more Scottish and foreign adventures to come. Best wishes, James

[@petergates7962]

Gorgeous up there with some lovely places to paint.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Peter, It is wonderful in the highlands. It’s a great wilderness with so much to see. Thanks for watching. Best wishes, James

Scotland is very beautiful!

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

It really is beautiful. It always surprises me.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Lots of them😊

[@paulineshelley4421]

Wonderful! We have done that trip a couple of times. I always thought of Mull as the island of rainbows as the weather was always mixed. Thank you for the trip which has evoked many happy memories. I look forward to the next video of Iona. Incidentally, one of my favourite islands off Mull is Ulva, which is now uninhabited. You can get across via a little ferry boat which can be summoned from the mainland by showing a red signal board. The ferryman sits outside the restaurant on Ulva, then comes across when he sees the red board. Ulva is a great place to walk around and see the White tailed eagles diving into the sea. ❤😊.

[@noelnicholls3622]

Another excellent video of your travels. Loved the drone clip, such beautiful green valleys with two small figures obviously working the drone! Looking forward to seeing the completion of your finished painting James, always the amazing use of colour which you do so well. I got a bit keyed up to be about to step on the ferry to Iona which we did in about 2001, but the filming ended! Never mind at least I know it is still coming. Enjoy your own stay on this special Island.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Pauline, Great that you’ve been to Mull, I’m sure it was fun to see some familiar sites. The weather is so changeable there! I’ve never been to Ulva, we did pass the ferry. Maybe a future trip. We did see lots and lots of bird watches, with some serious cameras and telescopes. Thanks for watching, Best wishes, James

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

⁠@@noelnicholls3622 Hi Noel, Great that you enjoyed the video! The drone flying is a lot of fun and you could see us by the bridge trying to control it. The video was getting a bit long, so I hope you enjoy Iona next week. Beautiful place. Enjoy the painting on Sunday. Best wishes, James

[@awatercolourist]
