I am a painter from Sri Lanka and now I am in Denmark and sketching. You are sketching in Sri Lanka.What a wonderful world is this. 😊 I left Sri Lanka mostly because the country lost its decipline,attitudes and respect towards nature. But it’s truly a paradise. Specially for people who see it. You are doing a lovely job!!

Hello from Australia! I can see the improvements you are making with your painting - the fisherman study was lovely. As a fellow late bloomer, I applaud your courage and determination. Thanks for sharing.

My husband likes to be on the go while we are out and about traveling. 😅 So I only had time for one full plein air painting on our last trip. I left him at the hotel while I went to watch the sunset. I did some quick pencil sketches and took pictures that I'm using for paintings now that I'm back home and not rushed. Fun both ways! Gorgeous travels and sketches! Thank you for sharing.

Hope you had a great trip. Please share your sketches - I would love to see them. Glad you enjoyed the content - is there anything specific you would like to see more of in future videos? Thanks for the feedback.

@paintandjournal we did have a lovely trip! I plan to share the sketches in upcoming videos and newsletters and/or my community tab. I should do more video clips of mine, but I get so focused on just painting and find it inconvenient to record myself. 😂 Your videos definitely inspire me. I really like seeing the clips of your surroundings where you paint. It's interesting hearing all the background noise since I often think of painting as so peaceful. It's impressive the chaos you sometimes paint in. 😅 I also like seeing how fast you paint. I want to practice that so I CAN do it if I want/need to even though I really enjoy painting slowly.

Thanks for the great feedback. I appreciate it. I look forward to seeing some clips of yours but would much rather you not get sucked into the algorithm and just paint!
