I really like the idea of prompts, think they'd really help me!! Thank you for this last video of the series, I've really enjoyed seeing what you have been painting, and the colours you have used. You have given me some wonderful inspiration!! Think I'm going to go back and watch them all again!!xx

I look back at your work from way back and while I thoroughly adore that period, I have to say that your work nowadays is so bold, confident, and rich. You really represent the places you visit - even in the 15 minute sketch - with such immersion and care... it's really inspiring! The "Coast Colour" piece is just fantastic. Really admiring where you have come to with your art! Just wonderful, Melanie! Hoping you are well! Cheers! ~ Mark

Thanks so much Mark for your comment and encouragement. It's fun to see it all documented here isn't it? And helpful for me to look back and see progress and the direction I've taken. Thanks for checking in!

Love, love your channel and art! Sometimes outdoor prompts are challenging if your landscape doesn’t reflect the prompts, but perhaps there’s room to share sketches from photos? 💙🕊️

Hi Mel, I loved to watch this wonderful video with many familiar places:). I really liked the autumnal colours. The gravestone is looking gorgeous with St. Michaels mount in the background. I'm glad you had a successful and busy year. I wish you and your family a healthy, happy and colourful year 2024! I look forward to new videos from you, and maybe we'll see each other again this year:))🍀 Gabi:))

Thankyou so much Melanie I really enjoyed the tour. I’m going to watch the others again just for the pure joy and relaxation of them. I’ve just returned from my final social gathering for the season and am planning a very low key and quiet New Year’s Eve with my partner and am inspired to start my new year with art and creativity. Thankyou for your lovely videos throughout the year and I look forward to seeing more next year. Good wishes and blessings to you for the new year, take care xx

Even though I haven't used your or anyone else's promts, I find it a very good idea, and I'll try next year to get more out with my sketchbook. I hope you will make spring promts for 2024 🤗👍❤🇩🇰

I saved this for my first (very gentle!) gym workout of the year. You kept me going beautifully, thanks Mel! So interesting that you seem to have spontaneously moved away from the Derwent palette to Kriksis’s custom tin; I guess sometimes our work is influenced by less conscious decisions which I never really thought about before! Also, your ceramic tray and coaster are gorgeous! They even sound lovely! Happy New Year! 🎉

Hello Melanie, it was very relaxing to watch this last video tour of 2023 thru your sketch prompts. Although I have a daily sketch practise, I don’t use prompts. But I may try prompts for January/February when life is very cold and muted here in Canada...sometimes its hard to feel interested in sketching anything when it's so dark...can't wait for snow to improve light levels!😊 Lovely to see the different seasonal palettes together. It's interesting to see how your choices changed thru the year.

Hope you got some snow and it's making your days a bit brighter!

How wonderful to see your process and supplies for each season. Recently I have been thinking of adding different mediums to my watercolor sketches. Loved seeing the mixture of your palette.

@conkrotwife 8 ай бұрын

Loved seeing your color palette evolve! And I love that you didn’t restrict yourself to doing the prompts in the order presented. I love having prompts but sometimes I get stuck, I don’t know why I hadn’t thought to do the prompts when it made sense.

@MelanieChadwick 7 ай бұрын

I'm so glad to hear, yes definitely do the prompts as you see them, it certainly helps to keep you going.

@janinafisher101 8 ай бұрын

Your sketches are just beautiful! And I love the winter gouache colours, which is quite interesting because I really love vibrant, bold colours a lot. You mention that you were given the gouache tin, but you didn't say what kind (brand) of gouache it is. Not sure whether you were given the tin with the paints in it... England has such lovely scenery. We do here in Canada too, but there is just something restful about the English countryside (except, perhaps when the wind is blowing so hard that you barely open your car door)!

@MelanieChadwick 8 ай бұрын

Thankyou! Kriksis I believe mixed them up for me so I do not know the exact colours or brands- it was a personalised gouache tin! Will ask her though as I have really enjoyed using them.

Thank you for sharing this record of your life on the edge of the sea, Mel. I noticed a stack of photographs early on in the video, and wondered what kind of printer you are using for them? Is it a special phone printer, or are you cutting up formatted sheets from a regular one? One advantage of having all four seasons is that the materials do overlap and sometimes repeat, so a sketcher doesn't have to go out and buy all new materials every time. They can supplement and exchange a few.

P.S. Really enjoyed your Domestika course, which I bought over the Black Friday weekend sale. I was surprised how much information you packed into it!

@MelanieChadwick 8 ай бұрын

Thankyou! Yes those photos were bought from an online photo company I think called Inkfinity. I would like to get a small photo printer to connect with my phone as I think it would be very handy for workshops.

Happy New Year Mel! What were those gouache paints? I'd like to try gouache. I do find your sketchbook tours so interesting and peaceful. Jerry

@MelanieChadwick 7 ай бұрын

Thanks Jerry. They were given me by Kriksis so I'm not entirely sure but Daler Rowney designer gouache sets would probably be fine and then mix your own colours.
