How to start travel sketching - with over 20 tips

[@carolinepoole7392]

Thank you for sharing your Devon memories - it was a joy hearing about how you created your sketchbook. A detailed seascape video would be great!

[@LizChadertonArt]

Thank you so much! Will get onto it

[@karlab9557]

Wow! Yes, Please,would love a detailed seascape video. The tempera sticks are intriguing, too. Looked like a bit of shimmer when you moved the sketchbook.

[@LizChadertonArt]

there were some shimmer ones in the box!

[@stampinturtles]

Your sketchbook is amazing! We may need a video on how to make one! Your quick line and wash paintings are stunning. I can watch these type of videos all day. Thank you for sharing.

[@LizChadertonArt]

this is how to make the actual sketch book kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoC9pIOYg82jmLs

Beautiful collection of memories! How amazing that you got to play with Tolga and the hose!!! I remember watching feeding time for a pair of otters some years ago (I think that was in Devon, or maybe Cornwall). As the keeper dropped individual bits of food into their enclosure (mussels maybe?) the boy gobbled each one straight down, but the girl took it to the water and washed it before eating it, every time! So cute to see the personalities!

[@LizChadertonArt]

they are such intriguing animals.

How lovely! I live where you had your holiday and have walked the Beer to Branscombe path many times.Wish I had bumped into you. I belong to a local plein air ladies group who meet up once week to sketch all these local places

[@LizChadertonArt]

ooh - next year? we have been ever since the kids were little. what’s the group called?

[@kristin.1124]

Thanks sooo much for these tipps. They make sketching so much more approachable 😊 And I'm also looking forward to the Tempera Sticks video. I'd really like to get then, too. And your spreads with them look stunning 🤩

[@LizChadertonArt]

exactly! sketching is such fun and really doesn’t have to be a drama. Will get on to the seascape tutorial.

[@le2382]

That was such a fun sketchbook tour! I loved all the drawings and paintings you created. Also, “you are not a donkey” is great advice for life in general! 😂

[@LizChadertonArt]

indeed it is!! 🫏

[@hopetn]

Fantastic! What a great way to capture memories. And yes, I'd love to see a seascape tutorial. :)

[@LizChadertonArt]

Coming soon!

[@jude6752]

Fantastic Liz - thank you! I would love some seascape tutes please :)

[@LizChadertonArt]

Coming soon!

[@leighrogers1383]

Liz, thank you for sharing your sketchbook…really inspiring. I loved seeing the gingko leaves. I lived in Korea for 20 years, where the trees are native. I’ve always loved the shape of the leaves, they are a brilliant bright green in spring, bright vibrant yellow in autumn…and the fruit is incredibly stinky 😂

[@LizChadertonArt]

glad to say, no stinky fruit here!

[@joellewatercolour]

Thank you for sharing this, Liz. Your sketchbooks are such a joy! This one in particular as I was on that very stretch of the Coast Path in May. And yes, I would love a seascape tutorial!!!

[@LizChadertonArt]

of course you did some of the path. It’s a lot of up and down isn’t it?

[@joellewatercolour]

@@LizChadertonArt it really is, I remember Beer being especially steep!

[@shirleygreaves9650]

I love this and I love your art, it’s how I aspire to be! X

[@LizChadertonArt]

oh thank you so much

[@kandifish8942]

😍Love these quick studies. Could you also use the neocolor 2s and tombows? Have you done any videos with these two mediums? I would love to watch you do a tutorial using these mediums!🥰

[@LizChadertonArt]

I’m not a massive fan of Neocolors, not sure why, so sorry I haven’t done much with them

[@user-wk1mw9nj3i76]

I sure do enjoy your sketchbooks! Wonderful art and contagious enthusiasm, all in one video. ❤ subscribed!

[@LizChadertonArt]

Thank you so much! and welcome

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Liz, I enjoyed the trip update! Your so very good at the onsite drawings and paintings too! I know it takes practice, yet I believe in talents and for some it is just easier for some people! i have the most trouble with Speed and working faster! It truly does not matter how long I practice I just have one working speed and it just has not gotten any faster in the years and years of me trying! Glad to watch someone who has it down!

[@LizChadertonArt]

I know I emphasised speed here. It’s because I was with people and wanted to respect their time, but slow drawing can be so relaxing and mindful. Speed isn’t necessary unless it’s about to rain

[@mjpete27]

@@LizChadertonArt well a certain amount of speed is essential in any location painting/drawing/art creation! I am methodical and well I am just slow. I have just never been able to turn that corner and gain speed, I am currently working with soft pastels trying to be looser and leave out details? I have been working for 3 years now, yet I am a plodder and I just enjoy going at my slow pace and I suppose that I will always need that photo to remind me of the details I am unable to get down on my paper/canvas! Digital photos have become an essential tool for me. No more developing film and printing out references! I must have over 100K+ negatives to be scanned from the days when I had my own darkroom and developed my film and made prints. I bet 30K is just flowers! Thanks for the space to ramble on, your an amazing person as well as a wonderful Artist!

[@blueviolets2022]

I love the beautiful artwork in that really neat sketchbook! What a great idea for travel!

[@LizChadertonArt]

Thank you so much!

[@LulybelleLullaby]

So much interesting information here! Thank you.

[@LizChadertonArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@janeoliver6379]

Thank you. Fascinating! I will try some of these materials

[@LizChadertonArt]

links I. the description 😊

[@eloradanan1837]

Brand new subscriber here and was so impressed with your variety of videos, including the one I was looking for "watercolour on canvas", I went and purchased your book on Amazon. I have never tired tempra sticks....please do a video on those when you have the chance. Cheers from Seattle, Washington State, USA.

[@LizChadertonArt]

Welcome! thank you for subscribing

[@GuyArab]

A really fascinating visual and verbal story of your holiday and the demonstration too. You obviously made the most of the mixed weather. Our family enjoys playing Mőllky too. Bring on the seascape tutorial.

[@LizChadertonArt]

Molky was fun, I plan to get a set of our own. Did you know there’s a scoring app you can download?

[@GuyArab]

@@LizChadertonArtI wasn’t aware of the app, but my daughter and in-in-law probably do as it is they who have the game.

[@sararamer-dean7846]

i loved that! Personally, I am not big on ink, but I found some pens that bleed into watercolour can be fun! Thanks for sharing.

[@LizChadertonArt]

Thanks for watching!

[@susanclancy-kelly9319]

I love these sketches! could you do a lesson on drawing tractors and other large wheeled equipment?

[@LizChadertonArt]

funny - that’s on my list. Have you seen Ian Fennelly offers an entire tractor course?

[@TR-rz1xt]

Beer battered fish and chips - what fun!! ;) I do so love your holiday sketchbooks, thank you for sharing!! ❤😃

[@LizChadertonArt]

I love looking back at them too. Full of memories

[@daniellebates-o3u]

Gorgeous painting at the end of your sketchbook. It's like a grand finale! I can't believe you accomplished that with tempera paint sticks. I always associate tempera with stinky, messy elementary school painting.😊

[@LizChadertonArt]

they are SUCH fun! A bit bulky to carry, but worth it

[@charlottemalone7375]

I love this! And would love a seascape tutorial!

[@LizChadertonArt]

Coming soon!

[@marcydrake9159]

Would love a more detailed seascape tutorial if you’re offering! 😊

[@LizChadertonArt]

I’ll get onto it!

[@nicky_stevenson]

Very interesting video and tips, thanks. I've got a request for you, if you wouldn't mind. Could you put your extra info, the sentences of tips, etc. on the top of your videos rather than the bottom because I read the subtitles and they happen to appear right on top of what you have written. It would be much appreciated. 🙂

[@LizChadertonArt]

sadly, I don’t think my film editing software allows for that ( I just use iMovies on my iPad) but it’s a really good point and I will take a look

[@marymccaslin1690]

Quick question- I apologize if I missed this detail, but does the Stabilo 88 soften after it dries well?

[@LizChadertonArt]

not at all - good question. yes, it will soften, but once you’ve wet it once, it won’t move again. Somehow the water ends up fixing it.

[@marymccaslin1690]

@@LizChadertonArt Thank you!!

[@swyntopia]

?????? In part 2 you call it "begin", in this 1. part you call it "start" ! ???????? I wonder what ´s the difference ???? ( You remember I´m no native english speaker ? ) Best greetings from the kontinent ! 🙂

[@LizChadertonArt]

begin and start are the same… also commence, get going, embark, initiate etc etc. the joys of English!
