Winter time Artist Vlog Sketching Outdoors

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Loved this! So great to see what you've been up to, to see Tony on Camera (he's so funny!), to see our little Robin friend, and to see the beautiful Cornish landscape. The Joy of Sketching is amazing; well done, Mel! xx

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thanks so much, Natasha I don't think he expected me to use the footage but it made me laugh so much. Thanks for your encouragement

[@wlwong1002]

Look forward to watch your new videos on tips and advice sketching on location!

[@dianegregoire5731]

Had to watch this over and over..... thank you!!!!

[@MelanieChadwick]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for watching it many times!!

[@debbievongrabler-crozier2646]

What a darling little robin! And Tony is so funny! I am loving working through the winter prompts...might we have some for spring 🙏😘

[@MelanieChadwick]

So sweet right! Actually if you go to the bonus content on the course you'll see I've just uploaded the spring prompts. Will be sharing here and IG next week so you can have an early look!

[@thuntz29]

Omg that Robin checking your pencil roll is the cutest thing I have seen! ❤ very jealous of your outdoor sketching, I can’t manage more than a few lines with this temperature.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Very cute! It must be very cold where you are, hopefully, spring will come soon.

[@madelynsmith8281]

I really love your bird friend. As always your sketches are so beautiful. I need to work more with some of my mix media supplies. Thank you for sharing your craft events and taking us for a lovely cold walk. I will see you again soon, I hope. Take care Mel. 🙂❤️

[@MelanieChadwick]

He is really sweet! Thank you Madelyn and yes I will share again soon.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Wow such gorgeous coastal views you had! I could sit there for days and paint 😍

[@MelanieChadwick]

I'm sure you would love painting the area Sarah

[@Ltaman1000]

Course is great, it’s definitely going to accompany me into the year and outdoor sketching. That robin is not camera shy and clearly wants a portrait 🪶 great weekend for vlogs from you, Kriksis, Joanna Clay and Sandi!

[@MelanieChadwick]

Aw thanks and glad to hear you are enjoying it. I know it's been fun to upload again and be part of the community!

[@lulabelle33]

Your husband is a scream!!! Love this video. Packed with info and inspiration fun.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Aw thankyou!! 😊 he is funny!

[@annagray4208]

Wonderful vlog. So peaceful, informative and a joy to watch. Thank you

[@MelanieChadwick]

So nice of you to say thankyou

[@C0raBr0wn]

Such a wonderful look into your life. Fun to see behind the scenes of your online course which I am enjoying so much. I recommend your class to anyone who wants to have more fun sketching outdoors. Many of the lessons apply just as well to those of us who tend to sketch indoors.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thank you Carol and really glad to hear that you recommend the class

[@elisacavaliere1446]

Hi Mel, welcome back! I was so happy when I saw a new video of yours 🥰 I loved seeing everything you did, listening to you telling about the projects you have been working on, and anticipating new ideas for the next months. Can't wait to see them all, I'm very excited. Also I love seeing the Cornish landscape in all its different environments, so thank you for taking us with you in your outside explorations 🥰 It is so different from Italy, makes me hope to be able to visit Cornwall someday. I wish I could be there to attend your sketching walks in person, but I am going to take a look at your Joy Of Sketching course. There's something I find quite hard to get used to about online classes. It is very difficult not to feel the actual distance and isolation, due to not being able to interact directly and in real time with people. I struggled with this aspect of online courses during lockdown times. However yours look so much involving and full of inspiring contents, that makes me want to try again. Lots of love, stay healthy and creative💕

[@MelanieChadwick]

Hi Elisa thanks so much and glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I haven't visited Italy but can imagine there are some beautiful areas there too. Interesting to hear about your online course experience, I know it can be odd, but I've tried as much as I can to make people feel connected through the course, with a comments section open on each lesson, and connecting in other ways online as well as a variety of material and opportunity to share your sketchbook pages. If you have any further questions just let me know, you can email me at [e-mail] happy to answer. Thanks

[@lindafranklin3516]

What a treat to watch your newest video...thanks for all you do...its appreciated...oh how I wish I lived near to be able to explore your beautiful area but I also need to start exploring my beautiful area..central California...there are many treasures here...looking forward to your upcoming videos...God bless you Melanie

[@MelanieChadwick]

You are so welcome! I can imagine there must be some beautiful places in California for you to discover.

[@nancistone9530]

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thank you so much 😀

[@murmulefy]

❤ Thank you!

[@trillianlocke1088]

Hi again Melanie. Ive just watched your most recent video and then this popped up before I could comment. Looooove how tame your robins are. The way you create is so inspiring. I have been hesitant to try sketching so to speak but keen to try after watching you. My name Trillian is Cornish. Yes, my folks were from UK and honeymooned there, where they met a girl Trillian and Dad said that would be his daughters name. I was born here in NZ less than a year after they arrived. Haven’t managed to visit there yet. Love Trills.xx

[@MelanieChadwick]

How interesting to hear how you were named and the connection you have with Cornwall. You must definitely visit at some point. And have a go at sketching it is so fun!

[@miablanchesettergren8139]

Thanks for sharing, so nice to "travel" a bit from my kitchen table, great challenge and very inspring. Chers from an also cold and now snowy Stockholm

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thanks for watching!

[@ImaniTolliver]

Beautiful video! So thoughtful and peaceful too. Lovely - thank you!

[@MelanieChadwick]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tjasonwilliams]

What a fantastic video! The seaweed class was so interesting! I alway enjoy seeing the landscape of where you live. It is such a beautiful place. Also your husband is hilarious! Thank you for your wonderful videos.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Glad you enjoyed it Jason and that you found the seaweed course interesting. Yes, he is a funny one and certainly keeps things entertaining!!

[@joannaclaydesign8916]

Such a lovely, calming and inspiring video Mel - thank you for sharing what you’ve been up to over this winter 😍❤️ that robin was so so cute! Xx

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thanks Jo 😊 he was so cute!

[@hannekewiebe764]

So nice to watch another one of your beautiful videos. Thank you. Your artwork and sharing your experiences are very inspiring. I can’t wait to see the next video.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thank you so much and I'm looking forward to sharing more.

[@nicholewade8233]

Your robins are sooooo cute!!!! :)

[@MelanieChadwick]

They are and curious !!

[@ArtistRebeccaLS]

Great video 😊

[@MichaelWurmJr]

Your videos are pure peace and joy. So nice to see you and what you've been up to! Also the robins in England are soooo sweet. We have robins here too but they look different and not quite as cute.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thanks, Michael. Funny I have heard that they are quite different to ours!

[@monicabiashi4866]

What a beautiful video Mel, the robin was so sweet. I enjoyed your sketches and the stunning landscape.Thank you

[@MelanieChadwick]

Glad you enjoyed it, a very sweet visitor.

[@Silvie_youtube]

That robin is splendid! You must have found the secret garden! All that was missing was to meet Mary, Dickon and Colin there as well.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Haha yes! You can imagine it happening with that robin!

[@violettahaven3706]

Hello Melanie! I'm wanting to purchase your course but I have a couple of questions. It says I'll have access throughout the lifetime of the course. What exactly does that mean? Also, will I be able to download it? I stay very busy with my work and this will take me quite a long time to go through....this is why I ask.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Hi Violetta, thanks for your questions - you'll have access immediately and it will last the lifetime of the course. I intend to have the course available for a long while so you can assume at least the next 12 months. You will be able to download parts of the course which include the videos. If you have any other questions you can email me at [e-mail]

[@kriksis]

That robin in the beginning is so sweet and curious. I truly enjoyed how you sketched the prompts and I felt like I am coming with you on this adventure. It is also really interesting to hear your thoughts and choices you make in creative practice. Also had an absolutely amazing time at your place in Christmas time, thank you for having us! Teddy the tortoise is 27 years old now. :) It's so great to see Tonny in this video as person who helps to set up camera. Hope you are having a lot of students for your course, it looks so professional and well thought. I like how it started and ended with robin.

[@MelanieChadwick]

Glad to hear your feedback on the sketching prompts and trip out, I thought it would be nice to bring people with me and speak to the camera. Oh dear I clearly had forgotten the age of Teddy! He's still a whipper snapper then!! Tony had a lot of fun I think pretending to be me!! And really encouraging to hear how people are finding the course, and how it is helping them in their sketchbook time. Thanks Kriksis!

[@deborahmeyers551]

Awe the Robin Red breast again beautiful sketches Mel 💜

[@MelanieChadwick]

Thanks Deborah!
