Roisin you are a scream. I love your videos, never knowing what is coming. Here in sunny Scotland we call blackberries, brambles and you are quite right when you go to draw/ paint they've disappeared from the hedgerows... I'm thinking it was maybe a harvest mouse or similar that was probably more terrified of you than the other way around!! Bless you and thank you for your delightful approach to all you bring to your youtube channel xx

@@anneonimus7204 no I saw the rat and it was huge! You mightn’t guess it but I’ve lived in the country nearly all my life, born and raised in the mountains. I can’t get used to rats - and everyone around me knows someone who’s had Weil’s disease, but it’s not even that, it’s visceral. On the other hand I have little mice in my ceiling cavity. They’re “leaving” too! And…thanks for your beautiful words ❤️

I had a rat run at me in my backyard years ago. I ran inside. It chased me to the door. It took a long time to feel safe in the backyard. Your sketch is beautiful.😊

@@JoAnneSmith-di8ok wow! People are full of positive things to say about rats but at the end of the day they will do whatever they need to do to survive. I respect and fear them and I certainly don’t love them. They have been in my studio (once) and all around it when I had a bird feeder, which of course I stopped. I never use poison because it’s cruel and poisons the food chain but if it enters my territory, it’s leaving in a box!

I’m now equipped with a 55 degree pen and need a demo of what you do when you say ‘I turn it, so, to do such… for this effect…. Have you prepared such a lesson? Link ? If not, would you consider doing so, please.? I hope to learn how to use this tool . I picked Blackberries in wild patch, growing up in Santa Rosa California blossoms, green, red and deep purple berries all together in one bunch as you sketched. Sweet warm blackberry juice collecting in the bottom of a cooking pot. Encountered my first snake too. Small, harmless , up within the vines, he was probably more horrified to encounter my response than I was to see him. Nether of us stayed to observe! Mary

Oh Roisin, you're too funny. You're fearless with your art, but a big scaredy cat when out in nature, lol. Here in Canada, when I'm out in nature, I keep an eye out for coyotes and bears mainly. But honestly, they're more scared of you than you are of them. Be brave and please continue your lovely videos of your outdoor sketching and painting adventures. I love them!

Love your painting! This month, I also painted blackberries here in southern Germany. But your encounter with the rat...hilarious! 😂 I have had rats when I was younger and they are really loving animals, very intelligent and I find them cute. Their tails aren't really naked, they have fur on them as well, so the tails have a soft touch to them.

“I love nature . . . in theory . . . “ 😆. I can relate!!! But if I have to see a rat I’d rather it be on a sunny day near a hedgerow full of blackberrys than on a NYC subway platform. Years ago when I worked in Manhattan a rat the size of a cat ran onto the platform accompanied by shrieking, hopping and creative dance moves by my fellow subway passengers. He was more afraid of us I’m sure but I’ve never forgotten that fat rat bastard - scarred for life.

I Agee about the rat leaving in a box. I loved rats as a child. My brother had a pet rat. That day, the rat chased me it was in a trash bag of yard grass that I was throwing away. I am fine about them being around. I just can't handle them chasing me! Lol. 😅 I do whatever I can not to attract them. I did have a bird feeder when that rat chased me. Thank you for the interesting conversation. Take care. 😊

I’m sorry but your rat story really made me laugh! Rats are no fun but our imagination of their and other dangers(foxes, badgers etc) really can get carried away. Happens to me too! Are you considering also to sell the bags empty maybe in a later stage? Because I already have all the contents and really do not need doubles but the bag itself is very interesting indeed!

@roisincure Ай бұрын

@@addasenta you’re so right, it’s all about our imagination! And yes the good news is I’ll be offering the bags empty as well as full. The next video will be about the bags and hopefully I’ll have a preorder form up very soon. Sadly this is going to be a genuinely limited edition as the cactus leather people aren’t going to continue with the leather I love so much. But there’ll be bags for all my students and anyone else who’s quick off the mark 🥰
