Oil Pastels Sketch in the woods

[@debra5891]

Not sure which I loved more, watching you create the beautiful sketch with your techniques or watching sweet Basil :)

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you so much Debra 😀 Basil will be pleased 😀

[@melissaamyx2196]

#1. I'm in love with Basil! #2. I REALLY love how you work with oil pastels, I've never seen anyone do it like you. I'm going to give that credit card thing a go!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Hi Melissa - Basil says hello (although he is a bit miserable today as it's stormy outside (storm Bert!))

[@JimReid-cb8lx]

Basil looks enthralled…..

[@lisakunish936]

Enjoyed this peaceful and relaxing video w you and Basil! Beautiful colors in your drawing as well. 😊. Thanks for sharing w us!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Hi Lisa - thank you so much

[@suzannemarshall7458]

true dedication love that Basil. Beautiful work under dire circumstances ahaha

[@MsVanorak]

we had a dog who got the 'arfrite-isis' when he got older. he had some medication to make him comfortable, from the vet for quite a few years and it made him seem more chipper. he was a border collie farm dog, loose about the place and sometimes he's set off to go somewhere but his legs would give way and he'd have to be retrieved in a wheelbarrow. :) he lived to be 16, so he really was 'ole shep'. lovely picture, i've been looking at those oil pastels for a new medium adventure.

Very peaceful way to start my Sunday morning, thank you Andrew and Basil 👏

[@mariannelindroos8414]

Lovely to watch you creating again and see how you catch all the tiniest colors of that beautiful forest. Basil 😍was a bit tired this time which made him even more endearing 🥹🥹🥹 Greetings 🇫🇮🌨👋 and Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Many thanks Marianne. Merry Christmas to you too from Basil and myself

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

Always good to see your work - and Basil, of course... not the best weather for plein air, but you seem to thrive on it: maybe Basil not so much...

[@carlalaatje]

That was a gorgeous sketch! I bought myself the same set of oil pastels and I'm really inspired to try them out in my khadi sketchbook. I find it very inspiring to see how you just go on and on and make this such an interesting sketch to look at.

[@aeastman59]

so nice!! love the sketches they are beautiful! My 11 year old standard poodle Virgil goes out sketching with me all the time too, they are the best!

[@hughtempleton8640]

Oil pastels are a fantastic medium. ❤

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Really great fun

[@Wal48]

Lovely colours, I think it worked out really well. Basil doesn’t look very enthusiastic!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you - he was glad to get back home and have his tea lol

[@jancusters2450]

Really good video and your sketch as well. Enjoyed looking! Greetings!

[@markl240]

Thanks for posting. I have just bought myself a set of oil pastels. They are a lot of fun and also much less heavy than my oil painting plein air kit

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

That’s great. That’s why I love sketching so much, easy to carry and move around

[@rosemarymccarron3887]

Just love your videos Andrew.You have given me the confidence to work in oil pastels . Thank you☘️

[@user-wk1mw9nj3i76]

Good dog, Basil, good dog. Thanks for the art and nature.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you. Basil says hi 👋🏻

[@randominternetuser2]

Really good sketches! Inspiring to see you get out there and sketch. (and Basil!)

[@randominternetuser2]

dog walk-plein airs!

[@randominternetuser2]

also i like how you laid the colors down first and then drew more line on top. Really cool!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

thank you

[@murmulefy]

I love this❤

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

thank you

[@sprucehouse9]

Poor old Basil. Maybe you should bring him a blanket to lay on while you sketch. That was a nice little view.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

That lovely thick warm carpet of leaves was quite snug. A blanket is a great idea though 😃

[@MichaelWatts-h3v]

Hi Andrew. Always enjoy seeing you out and about with Basil. Great sketch and location at this time of year. Cheers 😊

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you so much Michael

[@artistmcbrown98902]

Beautiful landscape! Your work here reminds me of a soft pastel Artist named David Greenwood who lived in North Yorkshire. I wish my cat was as patient as your dogger. :)

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you - I will look him up

[@WilliamPepper-h1q]

Great work, I can't say I've ever used oil pastels.

[@mikepetersen7319]

I must say: You've got to paint that beech tree that you were sitting besides. It's quite a character.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

That is a great idea Mike - I'll be back

[@gabischmidt2753]

Hi Andrew, I really love the sketch you did with the oil pastels. I don't use them very often. Wow, this Khadi paper sketchbook is really thick:) Oh, I love to see Basil he is such a cute and lovely boy.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you so much Gabi 😀

[@debrasabalewski9144]

You should take people on walks and show them those what's the areas cuz the absolutely gorgeous and show us where you want to do more pastels of period. Let us pick some spots for you to do.😊

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you - that would be a great idea. I might try and do that when the current storms have passed over

[@svalbardsvalbard4231]

Interesting presentation. I find that the Rubens sticks are a little bit dry. The French Sennelier are very good but horribly expensive. Your use of a credit card is interesting. I use the fingers which probably gives more of a feeling but soon you ….. run out of clean fingers and the in Plein air is rather messy. I see you use a lot the pastel pencils. Very practical . Nice job

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you so much. I wouldn't use anything too expensive for outdoor sketching - chances are I would lose them one at a time!

[@petergates7962]

Oil pastels are definitely not my favourite. It's something I never got used to. That said, good job.😁

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you. Not my favourite either but good fun to try

[@suzannemarshall7458]

Im now wishing for oil pastels and trying your credit card technique You make an ordinary woodsy scene beautiful. Hello to Basil

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you Suzanne - have fun

[@mohanpoondii1988]

👌❤🎉🎉😊

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

thank you

[@paxy2011]

Nice sketch ❤ Basil should have been in the drawing. He was posing for you 😢

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thanks so much. Basil is on my list of drawings to do 👍🏻

[@carolwilliams3599]

Love the way you use oil pastels in your sketchbook. I might have to try them even though I'm sure it's much more difficult than it looks when you use them. How old is Basil? He's such a good boy! Thanks for the video!

[@pjimmyd5516]

Inspirational Andrew, what breed is Basil ?

[@julianneaitch]

Thanks for the video. Love seeing the way u use the oil pastels. That sketchbook looks ace where did u get it from?

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you Julia - the sketchbook was a present. I think it was from a shop in Truro called Uneeka

[@julianneaitch]

@ fab! Thanks for the reply!

[@Countrysidewonderer]

What should we start the bidding at for this picture?

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Anything you like - these usually stay in my sketchbook

[@DannySabraArt]

Great video Andrew! I like the look of your footage. What do you use to film with?

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Hi Danny - how are you my friend? I am using my iPhone 11 here - can't afford anything else lol

[@DannySabraArt]

@ haha. That’s awesome. You know what, I mostly film with an iPhone 11 as well! That must’ve been why I liked it so much! It’s a great video and felt like I was in the woods with you. I might have to try out pastels sometime
