I’m a self taught artist, illustrator and graphic designer living and working in the beautiful Harbourfront neighbourhood of Toronto with my partner and our 3 fur-babies Simon, Knit & Purl.
My sketchbook is my happy place, where I love drawing and painting from observation. I like to work traditionally with gouache, watercolour, or acrylic ink, often layered with seemingly haphazard scribbles of coloured pencils and wax pastels that results in a vibrant and energized finished artwork.
I also host ART HANG PARTY!, a weekly live hour-ish-long art-making session full of fast-paced drawing and a lot of fun! 😅 Open to anyone and everyone! Every Thursday at 7pm et.

Welcome to my virtual art showcase / exhibition of my collection “Memories from Grandma’s Garden”! This body of work has been inspired by the feeling of running free and wild through my grandma’s garden, eating strawberries and raspberries right off the bush, seeing the colourful rows of flowers appear.

Super fun! The LOOK you gave your bangs though...lol (save it as a gif as a reminder next time you have the urge)
@@aradicaldame I should do that but honestly I’ll never listen 🙃
This is so good ☺☺
@@ChantelleArts thanks Chantelle! 🤗💖✨
This intro is chef kiss 👌💥
@@oficinacaracolinho hehe thanks Teresa! 🤗💖✨
You are SO official with your puffy fluffy mic cover and your definition of ART HANG PARTY! is the best😂
@@debbiedrawsfunny Haha! 🤗💖✨ I had a blast cohosting with you! Can’t wait to do it again
I've never done a true "vlog" - but I might get close to doing on this week. I was soooo interested in your video setup - I've wanted to be able to do two cameras at once (without a huge monetary investment!) - really cool - thank you for that insight! I've been so incredibly overbusy this month that finding something that makes my life eeeaaasier is always welcome. Always enjoy hearing your thoughts! Thank for the great vlog!
@@BoruArt glad you enjoyed and also learned a little something! If you have any questions about OBS let me know. It feels really intimidating at first but really it’s quite simple once you know the basics.
Aw, I really enjoyed this vlog☺️So glad you’re gonna do more of these! And don’t we all make a To Do List of things we think we can accomplish in a shorter time than humanly possible? Well, I know do😂
Thanks Deb! 🤗💖✨ Glad to know I'm not alone in my over-ambition! LOL
ps. love your new haircut!
@@paolafashionista thanks! 🤗💖✨
It was so fun and challenging! I loved the idea of drawing from the description using our imagination! :)
@@paolafashionista we will do imagination drawing soon!
Love the blog and the video set up demos. I’m still trying to figure out where to start filming longer format videos so this definitely helps! Also, it is nice to watch and feel like I’m getting to know you!
Thanks Beth! 🤗💖✨ I think the best advice I heard about filming vlog style videos was from Sandi Hester on a Sneaky Art Podcast episode, where she said to film no longer than 10 second clips of bit and pieces of your process, and then just piece them together. Not saying I always follow that, but it really helped to simplify things in my head and made it feel possible!
I love the Coronation Park painting!! And you're a wealth of knowledge as always
@@Theswordinthesewn thanks Jessica! 🤗💖✨ I’m always willing to share more if you have any specific questions!
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
@@hippofaitdestrucs 🤗💖✨
Cool sewing box! I loved your monochromatic landscapes from the Scribble Brigade. It was interesting to see how you set up for recording.
@@sketchbookscheming thanks Marcy! 🤗💖✨
💗
The Peanuts sweatshirt 😍😍😍
I stole it from Ray 🤭
@@melissamartinart He has good taste!
This was nice and so helpful! Thanks for the insight into your process, you do so much for your followers, all your efforts are so appreciated! ❤
@@Made_by_Reb glad you enjoyed, thanks Reb! 🤗💖✨
Maybe if you put beeswax on the areas in sewing box that stick they might open a bit easier..that's a cool sewing box, fishing boxes or tool boxes are a great place for holding art stuff..
@@nattyw495 oh good thinking, thanks Natty! 🤗💖✨
I have wanted to know what your side of the screen looks like during a live for ages but was to scared to ask 😂😂😂
@@louisealchin7435 ah! Well there you go! 🤗💖✨ I have another vlog from a few months back where I go into a little more detail in setting up for AHP
I enjoyed watching this behind the scenes! Looking forward to more vlogs in the future! 😃
@@isabelledebionne aw thanks Isabelle! 🤗💖✨
YES to more vlogs 🎉 for me vlogs are the perfect company while i work, it's funny that i can't hear podcasts when working but vlogs is OK 😄 it was very nice to see bits of your week 🌷 the sewing box is getting cute, looking forward to see it when you finish it. See you tomorrow art friendzy 🤗
Thanks Teresa! 🤗💖✨ I'm glad you enjoyed, and I'll try to make things a little more exciting than sharing my filming set up 😂
I also agree about podcasts while working. Audibooks yes! Vlogs yes! Podcasts no!
@@melissamartinart the filming gear is part of your day and may help others so I think it's interesting and valuable to share 🙂
I love the sea tutrtles. And your build a camp scene is adorable!
@@DollfieMew thanks Josie! 🤗💖✨
I would like an art hang party with some buldings or landscapes. It is always people or pets/animals.
@@Aurumora it has been a while since we’ve done those! They used to be pretty much the standard! I’ll try to make sure we have more of a mix going forward
I think I’m leaning more into abstract and BIGGER recently. Using up other materials for a change. Had fun tonight.
@@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33 awesome! I’m all for drawing big! Thanks so much for hanging out tonight! 🤗💖✨
I'll have to watch the rest of this later cuz AHP is about to kick off!
@@debbiedrawsfunny hehe! Back to school time! 🤗💖✨
All the artwork was so pretty! My paintings are drying now 😊 I loved the extra time. I ended up being able to work a couple larger paintings! So much fun!
That's great Josie! 🤗💖✨ sometimes it's nice to slow down and really spend some time with a reference (although there are some amongst us that would argue we should go even longer than 20 minutes!)
I enjoyed this video thank you so much for this video I like your self portrait with the pinkish red background that's one if my top favorite I'm still loving the water view of the red safety ring on the poll with over looking water scene..🇨🇦🇺🇲🎨💙
@@nattyw495 thanks Natty! 🤗💖✨
Ugh, I’m gonna break down and buy those watercolors, I know it 😂
@@Made_by_Reb sorry! (Also I think I saw they are on sale on amazon…) 🤗💖✨
@@melissamartinart good to know!
I think it's time to update the AHP description to 2 hour-ish, I can't remember the last time we were less ❤
@@aradicaldame haha that’s so true!
Best two hours of my day and it goes by in a flash! TY to Melissa. ❤
@@lisabarnes5340 haha, that’s awesome to hear, thanks Lisa! 🤗💖✨
I love ALL the stuff you did with watercolors, especially! 💖💖💖
@@XanBlackburn thank you Xan! 🤗💖✨ I I think this month definitely a watercolour month!
I've seen a lot of this before - but it's so nice to have the "digest" version too! Haha! I love the concertina/panorama painting... that looks like a lot of fun. Olympic Gold gave me flashbacks ;) I love that goat.. even if it was a struggle! I really wish I could do more of the drawing sessions that are out there - I'm waiting for my rich benefactor to contact me so I can quit my job, haha! Your watercolor portrait is really nice! Very effective! So many great things to look at - thank you for sharing! (as for favorite - it's hard to choose - but I think the portrait - the pink is so great as a backdrop on that! - and speaking of, I'm taking your cue and I'm doing some daily self-portraits... that's been fun!)
Haha thanks Brian! 🤗💖✨ That goat man… and the Olympic Gold - both challenges! If you find that rich benefactor be sure to send them my way, hah! I’m lucky in that I work for myself, and though I’m not making buckets, I can make time in my day, so I’m thankful for that!
I love your landscapes and the goat is cute. The watercolor selfportrait may be my favorite of the month.
Thanks Hippo! 🤗💖✨ I don’t often feels such a struggle when I’m working in my sketchbook, but that goat was not at all fun to make.
@@melissamartinart It doesn't seems easy to draw, so bravo Melissa 💪🙌🤎
I really loved the underwater animals and that self portrait! Simply gorgeous 😀
Thanks Sheri! 🤗💖✨
Love your work, Melissa! I think my favorite was the concertina sketchbook -- and your underwater creatures. Your objects sketchbook is such a cool idea. I love the objects with those backgrounds. Your animation is so fun. 😃
Thanks Marcy! 🤗💖✨ That animation was so silly. I still really love the underwater creatures and need to do more - that combo of the granulating watercolours with inktense pencils is 😘🤌
@@melissamartinart I'm gonna have to try those granulating watercolors, I know it!
I’ve really enjoyed going bigger too. Liberating. Jackson’s does really reasonably priced A3 sketchbooks. I love your Toronto pictures. Ooooooo your gouache Coronation Park.
Thanks ML! 🤗💖✨ I should see if my art store has an A3 sketchbook. My biggest is the Talens 29.5cm x 21cm but I think A3 is bigger still?
🤣💗 listening to this is a beautiful way to start my Sunday morning. I'm 7 mins in and love it! 🤣. I have LOTS of catching up to do - been way too busy at work and struggling to find balance atm, but now I feel like everything is ok again. 🙏Love you lots my friend 💗🌻xxx
Even with your being so busy we have made lots of art together this month! 🤗💖✨
@@melissamartinart 💗🎨 We have indeed 😍It amazes me sometimes, when looking back at what happens each month. So great to keep some form of digital Art diary (Substack and RUclips). 💗xxx
Bummed that I had to dip out, everyones drawings are so amazing! Thanks as always Melissa!
@@RebeccaBenitez-k4n my pleasure! 🤗💖✨
People with cats must have some paw prints in thier watercolor scetchbook. Had to let that thought out
@@Aurumora 🙋♀️ definitely!
What a great collection of drawings everyone did.
@@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33 absolutely! Everyone nailed it, especially on the ones done from description only! Thanks for joining ML! 🤗💖✨
That was a lot of fun! Thank you so much! I loved the faces and expressions on everyone's animals tonight. Adorable and lots of laughs. ❤
@@DollfieMew it was a fun one! Thanks so much for joining Josie! 🤗💖✨
❤
@@EduardoRodriguez-du2vd 🤗💖✨
Wishing I could jump through the screen to hang out!!!
@@kayleighathena_ yes! I say enough with the ai bs and let’s put some real effort into teleportation already!
Love the looseness of your sketches Melissa and that sakura solid markers 🤩 think i need them in my life 😂 very chilled video, thanks for taking us to the park with you! Also bonus points for drawing while filming with the other hand!!!
@@oficinacaracolinho haha, thanks Teresa! 🤗💖✨
Lovely art and views!
Thanks Marcy! 🤗💖✨
Thanks for outside session! The solid markers are whispering to my ears each time, the chunkiness, the colors 🤩
I’m pretty sure we’ll be going back out again today so I’ll see if I can take you along again 😁 The paint markers are Sakura Solid Markers and they are 👌 but they do have a bit of a smell to them
@@melissamartinart Yeah, I am always ready to follow an outside session 😄 Thank you for the warning about the smell of the markers. I just saw their price, at least in France, that is a second plea for me to not precipitate ordering them for now. Still I love the final result.
What are those markers? Or are they paint? I’m so intrigued! And can I add your channel to my RUclips Artist recommendations list I have linked my channel? I’d love to!!
Oh gosh, I would be honoured, thank you so much Jackie! 🤗💖✨ I was using “Sakura Solid Markers”, they are so fun! Like drawing with lipstick. They are permanent and work on just about any material so I think they are mostly used by graffiti artists, but they are really nice on paper - so smooth and buttery 🤤
Oh and fair warning: the paint markers do have a bit of a smell to them
I love those chunky art supplies! I nothing like that... Very inspiring! I really enjoy your contour drawing of the doggo! Oh and you have those cute black squirrels!! I saw some of those in Michigan earlier this year... so cute!!
We have so many squirrels around here! Before my aunt passed away she told us that if we see a squirrel stop to look at us or doing something cute that’s her saying hi 🥹 so it’s always nice to get so many visits/reminders from her! The chunky paint sticks are “Sakura Solid Markers” and they are so much fun. I think they are mostly used by graffiti artists (they work on just about everything) but they are really nice on paper. Like drawing with a tube of lipstick! 🤗💖✨
Good tunes, nice views, great art! That Gansai Tambai (?) [or Gonzo Tambourine as I like tp call it] one I was so sure you were painting a ninja turtle head or Howard the Duck. It’s all my eyes would let me see😂 But alas I was very wrong. This was a such a nice chill one😌😍 Oh! I have a neat trick for you when twisting the Sakura markers: take the cap, stick it in and twist! I discovered on accident, but it twists so much easier!
😂😂😂😂 they are now forever called Gonzo tambourines
Haha, not my most successful rocks ever! 🐢 🐣 🤦♀️ Also great tip! Twisting the ends single-handed is definitely not doable! Thanks for watching 🤗💖✨
Excellent! Even more so because you did everything one handed! 🤗
Haha! Yes! I have yet to lug a tripod to the park, in addition to two blankets and all the art supplies I don't use 😂 🤗💖✨
Agree: the one hand thing is impressive
