Let's Go Out! National Gallery date + mini Haul! ~ Frannerd

[@juicyink]

Sending many good vibes your way!! Mt tape is my favorite 😍 I hope the gouaches are treating you well, I look forward to your next video!

[@Orlovie]

The little kid dragging grandma was so cute :)

[@SparklesFantastic]

You are so absolutely lovely! I love your videos and illustrations! I actually found your channel not too long ago and freaked out because I use your stickers all the time on "LINE" they are my favorite! Your kitties are so cute!! Also I believe every artist feels this way about art supplies and art stores. I know its always hard for me to control myself in art stores, I don't think I've ever successfully come out empty handed. :)

[@FranMeneses]

+Lynzy DeLosSantos YAAAY! thank you for using my stickeeers! :D

[@agnesmanigos3526]

Can you do a sketchbook tour please? Just one. I wanna see your amazing sketches/drawings in one book. Btw, awesome video! Have a nice day :)

[@SandraSaysStuff]

Fran, me encantó el video. Tal vez soy la única, pero me encantaría un video tipo "behind the scenes" donde hablas y muestras lo que llevas contigo cuando vas a grabar uno de tus videos de "Let's go out." Me refiero a el equipo y accesorios que usas para grabar como tal y también qué otras cosas te llevas (bolso que prefieres llevar, lápices, sketchbook, etc). Un abrazo!

[@dreamanddwell]

Thanks for taking us on your date with yourself! It was just absolutely lovely!

[@HollyDunnDesign]

Lovely video Fran! I love seeing your adventures around the city. I also live in London and need to make more of these wonderful resources all around me. The National Gallery is such a wonderful place :)

[@startsevatori]

I'm living in Russia, in capital if Siberia Novosibirsk and in my university pictorial and graphic practice takes place in the museum. We are drowing animals, birds, historical costumes and things of ancient peoples of Siberia. I'm agree - its amazing! Thank you so much for huge insparation

[@noire1oo4]

I loved this video! The London Graphic Centre sounds and looks heavenly

[@TheMarivasc]

My biggest dream is to live in England *-* how can i achieve that? D: tell me your secrets fran!!!

[@angelamwho]

Ahhh I love these kinds of videos! I love your filming style :)

[@coffeeismyfuel]

I'm so happy you took time for yourself and had a lovely day :^)

[@cande2216]

Me gustaría saber cómo hicieron para vivir en Alemania tanto tiempo y ahora en Inglaterra. ¿Solicitaron visas normales de trabajo, tienen ciudadanías europeas, algún programa? En junio me mudo a Dinamarca por un año con la Working Holiday y es una gran opción para los que quieran vivir un tiempo en otro país :) saludos Fran!

[@mariamr3883]

Эх, как бы я хотела понимать, что она говорит (

[@jimer0cks]

Ya hace una semana que estoy viendo los videos de draw with me y practicando dibujo (psst, mejoré muchísimo en pocas semanas). Creo que este finde voy a ir al museo nacional de Buenos Aires ^^ Gracias por inspirarme, Fran

[@FranMeneses]

+Jimena Diewiatajew oh que geniaaaal!

[@jenvcampbell]

I loved this video :) I go to museums for writing inspiration, too. The Tate Britain is my happy place xx

[@FranMeneses]

+Jen Campbell Thanks Jen! YES I want to go to The Tate Britain agaain! :D

[@mimam4747]

I absolutely loved this video, I always make sure I make time for myself for doing things on my own and visiting places which I have a connection with. Please do more videos like this. Your personality is amazing by the way!

[@FranMeneses]

+nomadnama thank you so so much for this comment

[@irmarivera6938]

Hola! Que bonita oportunidad de estar viviendo en London! y que bueno que la aprovechas. Me encantan tus videos y todo tu arte. Eres una gran inspiración. A mi también me encantan los museos siento que me transporto a otro mundo jajaja. Saludos a los dos, que estén muy bien!

[@IsabelGuzman]

Esa sensación al estar frente a un cuadro y sentir que estás frente a una estrella de rock, es lo mismo que me pasa!! El año pasado fui al MET y al MOMA, y sí, pal hoyo, da nervios y después piensas que tu viste esos cuadros en libros, en la tv, cuando estudiabas, que hasta tuviste un poster en tu pieza!!! y ahora los viste ahí, en vivo, no hay cómo describirlo de otra forma, conocer a una súper estrella.

[@CarolinaManiac]

Tengo entendido que se pronuncia gouach (?) y es tempera, pero de calidad (?) ksajhdksadhkasj SALUDOS DESDE PUERTO MONTT! *O*

[@AliceRed]

I'd love to live in London, your date with yourself sounds perfect! The city looks beautiful. I really like the way you filmed/edited this :)

[@mailartlover]

Que buena manera de empezar este día! Disfruto mucho mucho tus vídeos. Me encanta mi ciudad (Concepción, Chile), pero una de sus desventajas es que casi no hay museos de arte histórico o antiguo... pero bueno. Tampoco hay mágicos lugares como esa librería *o* Entré al link de "How to Treat Yo' Self without eating or spending any money" y me encantó. Empiezo YA. Cariños y gracias por hacer videos! Ánimo para abril!

[@LaraMagisterio]

Hola Frannerd. Necesito comprarme un scaner para digitalizar mis ilustraciones. Me han recomendado la gama Epson Perfection. Qué scaner utilizas? estás contenta con él? alguna recomendación? ... Graphic Center es genial :)

[@belen4507]

Me encantó el vídeo!. El otro día me compré tu libro y estoy esperando a que me llegue. Ojalá algún día me lo puedas firmar. Saludos.

[@fannynofunny]

fraaaaan! que hermoso quedó el video, una forma diferente de Let's go out (-: Hoy quería ir al Centro cultural La Moneda.. y justo están montando la expo Antiguo Egipto :'c así que a esperar! que tengas una linda semana, ánimo este mes!

[@guillermosaavedraruiz6930]

aprecio mucho,que,a parte de mostrarnos tud dibujos,materiales,consejos y tíos de ilustradora etc... también nos enseñes cultura,arte,lugares que visitar,cosas que hacer,no se,tus videos se me hacen muy agradables y los disfruto mucho,además aprendo ingles! muchas gracias:)

[@ddreamcatcher2]

That art store looks like heaven on earth. Big minus of living in a small town is no good artsupply stores! And beautiful illustrations as always! Colonel Tarleton looks hella fabulous

[@VictoriaPichel]

aaaghh!!! OMG, london graphic centre!! i almost went crazy in there... so much stuffff... it was a good thing that it was late and i was tired, otherwise i would have spent a fortune there. I really love these videos, out and about in London. I miss London. And I miss Pret. And everything!! xx

[@bmespo]

I love London so much!!! I am jealous but also so happy for you that you get to live there, I would be super excited like a child every time I went into the city too. I miss the national gallery (and the V&A!), which reminds me to tell you to visit the Wallace Collection (free and just off Oxford st) as it is my favorite London museum of all. Thank you for a lovely video and sharing your art and life with us!

[@aurelianoalvarez1901]

Me ha gustado mucho tu vídeo, gracias por compartir imágenes de tu cita contigo misma :-) sobre todo la parte del museo; y tu punto de vista sobre los museos me pareció muy interesante; igual que a ti me emociona mucho estar frente a un Caravaggio, Vermeer, Ingres o Rembrandt (que seguro los viste) mas que si me topara con Madonna o Messi jeje, ojalá nos compartas otra de tus escapadas; saludos desde Mexico!

[@ajane4418]

AH Frannerd! I just absolutely LOVE your work! I have decided that once a week I will treat myself to a gallery / art visit! YAY!

[@camilaubillagodoy4818]

"Weon vivo en Londres esto es paloyo de bakan". Hahahahha reaccionaría exactamente igual si viviera allá Fran.

[@BeeAnimation]

Hey, Fran!! I'm really in love with your glasses *_* would you mind telling me which model and brand they are? I'm looking for a similar model for myself it's really cute!!

[@hannesschievink6598]

DURING MY TRIP TO LONDON I'VE BEEN IN THE GRAPHIC CENTRE AND I SAW THIS AND I FREAKED OUT THANKS CAN I COME LIVE WITH YOU IN LONDON? (sorry for caps, I got excited!)

[@ferllantencl]

Es que amo el National Gallery

[@nataszakura1432]

I was in London recently...wish I could have seen you somewhere :( going to the gallery with you would be amazing. Would you consider meetup with your fans and gallery visit IRL? :) I would happily travel from Manchester to do it !

[@gersanhueza77]

Fran, te sigo desde siempre, desde Chile, tus viajes y travesía a las europas haha Quiero decir que extraño los videos diarios o los blogs que te muestran más en lo cotidiano con Ed, los gatos, tu desorden y tu prensa de café. Saludos desde Conce :D

[@SarahShotts]

Love it! I felt the same way when I lived in London during grad school. :) We only have one art museum here but thanks for reminding me I should go more. I've never sketched in a museum, but you're inspiring me to try it out. :)

[@rcartecorpus]

Nunca había visto un vídeo que nos motive a darnos un tiempo para nosotros mismos visitando tu propia cuidad y sobre todo que presente la visita a un museo y el conocer su historia de una manera tan jovial e inspiradora. muchas gracias por que nos inspira a nosotros también !! saludos desde Perú

[@hannahfleming8840]

I enjoyed this. I work in Museums...great to encourage people to visit and draw collections. I went to The National Gallery for the first time last year. I was so overwhelmed, I cried.

[@EirtaePaula]

sabes? el día que subes un vídeo es un buen día. Tu trabajo me inspira mucho y me motiva. Creas belleza. Gracias .

[@SloppyStitches]

I'm so happy that I found your channel! You are incredibly inspiring. I find myself getting choked up sometimes while watching your videos because your words and art are so relatable and touching. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@kwarcc1]

Looking forward to see your next video! Love your peace. Helped me to calm down..organise and stop panic! If you ever come to Serbia you are more than welcome!!! Wish you grate day!

[@micotaku9068]

this is your I love you video on KZbin aka your 143th video and still I'M LOVING IT ;)

[@TallysDoodles]

The National Gallery is my favourite place in London apart from the National History Museum and Hyde park. The NatGal is so relaxing though ;A; I love curling up in the seats and just watching people look at the paintings c:

[@lizluscomb]

I'm so happy to know I'm not the only one who nerds out about going to museums. My husband, the sports guys, has teased me for 11 years about my museum desires. I don't even have friends who enjoy them! Can you believe that!? And I'm the same way as you when it comes to buying art supplies. I'm also very weird about my papers...any kind of paper. I hope you continue with this type of video. I get a kick out of them. One last thing: You should try the Daniel Smith Watercolor Dot samples. I think you would like them. :)

[@bonjourcamila]

This was so sweet and inspiring! Love how you described being in front of a painting as being faced by a celebrity, I guess I didn't realize it but I feel sort of the same way! Me encantan tus ilustraciones

[@andieoverholt5711]

Fran- I loved this video so much! it reminded me of all the reasons why you are probably 1 of 10 people i actually keep track of on youtube. What first got my intention to you was the pilot g-tec pen! (my favorite) and then I kept finding more things you love that I do as well! (fine brushes, museums, I lived in England for a few years and would feel the same) Anyways just want to say thank you for inspiring so many, and for letting us have a look into your life.. you are very gifted and loved!

[@stern6068]

Hi Fran where did you get these beautiful shoes???? Love from Germany 😘

[@anng.r.687]

I feel exactly the same way in museums. They feel sacred to me. Also, I feel like in the Harry Potter world of J K Rowling's she hit upon something with the subjects of her paintings that move and are alive. I feel like the subjects still 'exist' within the world of the painting, so it does feel like looking at a time machine. I have never been to Europe, so I appreciate you sharing your visits in video. I feel so at home in a museum - or a cathedral - for that matter. It's like I could move in, and make it my bedroom. Ha ha.

[@eawilker]

I always leave museums feeling really inspired, even though I'm not really a visual artist. I actually just got back from Scotland, which is a beautiful and inspiring place on its own, but I think one of the main reasons I came back home feeling really ready to write/take photos/make things is that I went to a bunch of free museums there. It was so great to be able to take in things that other people have made that are beautiful or educational or historically interesting. Anyway, that's enough of my ramblings. Great video! It's nice when you switch things up.

[@raquelpavonfdez]

Me encantan taaaanto tus vídeos y tu arte : ) te comprendo cuando hablas de la sensación de vivir allí pero no sentirte del todo parte de la ciudad... vivo en Ámsterdam desde hace tres años y me he sentido así muchas veces ^_^ un abrazo! :) precioso vídeo!

[@victoriamaria1590]

this was such a lovely video to watch, i felt like i was there with you. i love museums too! they're so... beautiful.

[@moodypanda130]

I just squealed like a little piggy when I saw you made this video! These are my favorite type of videos you make :) You are really inspiring!

[@redsstarrynight]

I always enjoy your videos thank you! Also I was wondering how do you get your drawings made into stickers? like where do you get your prints made?

[@taeyladi3660]

Fran I went for the first time yesterday, that place is so huge, thinking of going again tomorrow or maybe on a Sunday. LGC is lovely too but expensive.

[@helloohel]

I really like this new format of "Let's go out". Keep going, Fran! and thank you so much for your videos and all your work!

[@rahchua]

I love your draw outside videos! You rubbed off your love for museums to me. I visit museums all the time by my self because I just find it so peaceful. Thank you for creating such beautiful content and inspiring me to go out and find beauty in everything around me :)

[@danilevie1914]

I know I'm literally over a year late but i'm also a huge fan of gouache, and i usually hear people say it "guh-wash", or just "g-wash", with a g like in goat. I hope you like it too :') these videos are so cute

[@Krontera]

Today i went alone at the museum for Botero's exposition In rome, after i have ate a big ice cream and took a walk in this sunny amazing day. It was beautiful, everything!

[@irisshcreamm]

Fran creo que vivo en la ciudad con más museos en el mundo, y desde la perspectiva que describes tu experiencia me dan un montón de ganas de visitar al menos uno al mes. Ojalá lo consiga! Un beso!

[@DeepDreamer101]

I should get out more, it would be nice to bump into someone like you fran :) Im glad you took a day out for yourself, London was nice and sunny at times yeah, hope we got more sun though in the coming days. Im loving my Waiting giclee print by the wayyy, sooooo lovely

[@SofiaLhene]

Sería genial que hicieras un review de la pintura gouach cuando puedas! Los he estado buscando para probarlos pero no he encontrado en Santiago... Y mandarlos a pedir sin saber que tal son puede salir caro jaja Y suerte con las deadlines de abril! (:

[@TheSmallestTadpole]

I love these videos, it's so lovely to see how passionate you are about art and creating things! I get the same feeling in front of those massive paintings; it's so crazy to actually think someone painted that...! Thank you for making these awesome videos :)

[@scarlatertisleya2422]

Frann envidio el hecho que tengas esa tienda "relativamente cerca " Q n Q quiero una aca ! jajaja exito en tus proyectos de abril! :D

[@theyellowmailbox7797]

I look forward to your videos so much! They are so inspiring. Keep up the great work!

[@annalubinskiillustration]

Thank you for sharing this! I love doode-date myself in Louvre :D

[@mnnpris]

it's comforting to know that people who lived aaages ago also went through the same problems we do (like frustration, fear, insecurity, etc). i haven't been to a lot of museums, but i get that from literature as well. it makes me see how tiny the human race/history are compared to the universe. and it's kinda nice to realise how small we are, cos that means there's still a lot to grow, right? i love your videos, and you should enjoy london more often! i mean, its london!! do it for us! haha

[@neikaplay]

I have the same feeling too for galleries and museums. I went to Marlborough gallery once in London for a show of one of my favourite artists. Then lo and behold the artist herself walked in. I almost fainted. :)

[@Demeste]

I wish I lived nearer London so I could visit museums. Lovely drawings like always :) I went to visit a castle nearby recently and wanted to do a lets draw but I was too shy ahh 🙈 I still took lots of photos though :)

[@hanaruipi]

Omg just last friday I went to the national museum T_T I live in London for 3 years now and there are still SO much I haven't seen! I need to investigate that art store you mention tho *A*!! I rarely have the courage to go out and go see things for myself ahah -v- maybe I should get the courage and do the same as you! I hope to see more of these videos :3 it was wonderful

[@12happy11]

I regularly do solo dates. My partner works second shift 3pm to 11 pm so I go to dinner and movies many friday nights.

[@evangelinecheng3171]

It's really great to see that Patreon makes a difference and helps you out! 🙂 have that cuppa coffee you deserve girl!

[@plantinhaflutuante7088]

This video was just AWESOME, really

[@weirdgirlinahoodiexo3081]

Fran, I must say you are one of the most inspirational person I have ever known. I'm hoping forward for you to try those gouache. Love lots

[@rococoneko]

The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) has little tables set up as free drawing statuons, with paper and pencil crayons for people to draw

[@roberta3893]

You should totally get a PO box!!! So we could send our drawings or some gifts for you! 😊😄

[@claire-louisevickery4365]

Hi Fran! I was wondering if you could do a sketchbook tour now that you're finished your old one? I would love to see that!

[@ragdollart589]

So jealous of you! You live in THE best city in the world, and get to visit all these cool places :)

[@UGLYFLEUR]

your date with yourself was lovely thank you so much for sharing it =)

[@divinera_]

This video was so lovely! I want to visit London so badly! Ahhhhhhh

[@juliofalkenhagen]

casa de arte, uno por mas que tenga todo . siempre va a necesitar algo y hasta a veces comprar dos cosas de lo mismo por que si.

[@tesnimguesmi6087]

You're so amazing Fran! I love museums too for exactly yhe same reason..

[@darkmerrygoround]

our prof. said that if there's a sleeping dog in a painting, it usually mean infidelity ans if it's awake it means otherwise. So there are other paintings of married people with dogs in them :D

[@starremix]

yay. I am glad you took a day off for yourself. unfortunately I can only do that when I am sick or have some kind of an appointment!

[@MsNinahhh]

Dates with myself is one of the best things ever. It's feels so good to just spend time alone, and re charge!

[@marialooksaround]

I loved this video! It is an awesome message, so thoughtful of you to do a video out of it ^^ Thanks and be well xx

[@ChicaDuarte]

Oh fran esta muy bueno el video, me encanto

[@anuquidditch]

[@andreasmusings]

This makes me want to goto the museum so bad!! I feel the same way in front of a painting ;).

[@Alexis-uv5qj]

I loved this video! I completely relate to the way you feel about museums. :)

[@patriciavilleneuvepicard8023]

It makes me want to go there too! (Except I live in Montreal...)

[@EstebanTby]

Sale mas barato los articulos de arte en Londres que en Chile?

[@lovestruck-dl9kj]

Ahora sé lo que significa esta canción :3

[@minitricia]

Free entry to the National Gallery?? What more can I ask for! 😍

[@SrtaMartita81]

Es maravilloso tener cita con uno mismo a mi me encantan, pero casi nadie lo entiende, jajajaja

Tu vestido es de The White Pepper? :D dime que si

[@valeriaagullo5695]

Siento exactamente lo mismo por los museos! Es como entrar en otro mundo

[@deoko1]
