Re: art supply shopping while traveling ... I do the same thing! I often make very special purchases or discover favorites I otherwise might not have ... my first Senneliers were purchased in France (began my love affair with their French Vermillion which has been in a palette for me ever since) ... as well as an Isabey mop (purchased at Magasin Sennelier by the Seine!). I've bought LAMY pens in Germany. I've bought Fabriano paper in Italy. Recently in Mexico I found a dusty art shop in Oaxaca and got a block of rough watercolor paper they had. It was cellulose but actually painted quite well. I think they are incredible souvenirs and keep the trip alive every time you use them afterwards.
Oh dear... what a beautiful video. I feel so inspired, and loningly to be there. And a bit sad of completly not beeing a spontanious person. For me everything has to be planed. I'm happy for you, that you had such a wonderful trip. Such a beautiful place. I don't know how you are able to sit there and see a place. I mean "seeing" it an be able to make something like a frame to decide what to capture. I see 360 degree and don't know what to do with it. How to start and how to skip details. You have done it in a great way. The video is full of stunning views and pictures. If it's ok, I will take one out of it and take if for reference. Sooo inspiring. The music with the guitars and the beautiful landscape was perfekt. I loved this one very, very much. Made me feel lots of things. Thank you.
Thank you sooo much Alex! It is truly a video I hold dear to my heart and I am so glad that it has inspired you - as that was my aim. Please feel free to use it as a source of inspiration / reference :D It is why I included so much! If you do recreate something, I'd love it if you could share it and tag me on instagram or discord as I'd love to see it - but no pressure. Knowing that it has been helpful is joy enough.
Like most things, figuring out what to "see" what to use, and what to leave, comes with practising it a few times - but in honesty, I just usually go for whatever captures my attention most or whatever feels most significant for me in that place at that time. If I went to the same place twice, I am sure everything I would choose would be different - but that is okay. The hardest bit for me was initially picking something, the moment I accepted it didn't truly matter, is the moment I started enjoying it more :P x x
Thanks so much for sharing your trip! Your sister is a fantastic videographer/travel companion! (Loved it when she was directing you 😅.) Such a beautiful area, it makes me want to visit Nice and the surrounding area (and art stores). Good for you for eating what you like/want on vacation; I tend to do the same when I know what I’ll prefer. I always try to have a nice breakfast on vacation and I love checking out bakeries and spots for a “fancy” dessert when we’re away. (I also like checking out a local grocery store to see how different it is 😊.)
Nice art retreat 😊
Very professionally made documentary and well narrated. You shouldn't have been shy about your art with that artist, it's vibrant and full of life.
Thank you so much Karen! :D I really appreciate it lol, I don't know where that doubt / imposter syndrome crept up from lol, but next time - I'll be better about being open about being an artist :D xx
An ideal art retreat would be somewhere easy to get to, with beautiful views, but not a ton of crowds. I don’t mind people being around but I don’t want to be shoulder to shoulder with strangers the entire trip 😅
Thank you Humdrum! I agree, it is part of the reason I love to travel off season :D :D x x
Gorgeous Nice art retreat! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Thank you for watching Kathy! Xx
Definitely like nice packaging too! And that postcard of the ornate fountain is lovely.
Me too!! xx
Nice art retreat. Your paintings were wonderful. I recently went to Paris and went to the Sennelier Shop near Musee Dorsay. Minnd you I'm a 52 year old rural American who has only been there and London two years ago. ,. So it was a fantastic art retreat for me. I painted, urban sketched, and went to a life drawing session. I hope you have many more adventures. I enjoy watching them.
Wow! That sounds wonderful! Thank you for watching, for being an MVP and for sharing :D I hope that you get to have many more art retreats xx
Lucky you! We spent 4 days in Nice last July! Watching this video reminded me how beautiful this place is! After Nice we visited Genova and Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre would be a great art retreat!
Hey! Thank you for watching ❤️ and for sharing! I’d love to go to Cinque Terre ❤️😍
Nice art retreat! Beautiful location... I'm inspired to travel there now!
You should! It’s beautiful! Thank you for watching Shannon 💖
I loved seeing Nice with you. #Nice Art Retreat. I think I’ll plan one for myself. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much Jacki! xx
Such a lovely trip. I also love visiting art shops when in a new place. So fun seeing what they have. And Nice was clearly stunning
Thank you so much Danielle! I hope that you are well xx
I love you asking your sister "can you see what you’re recording?" And her reply. Ah can't half tell you're sisters! Good sister!
Loool thank you Sandfly! In honesty, I think I asked her that a few times through this trip :D :D xx
Lovely and inspiring video, thank you. Beautiful places and wonderful shops! Wanted to see your sister! But she did a great job xx
Thank you so much Elizabeth! ❤️
Nice art retreat. I love Nice but I am still intimidated by the idea of creating an art retreat for myself. I am currently in Mexico for one week. I brought watercolors and some neocolors and a brand new sketchbook with the plan of for the first time documenting my trip with sketches...lots of photos that "would make a great sketch" but no sketches yet. I admire when you sketched in the park. I think first I need to get over my fear of "ruining" my sketchbook with a less than perfect painting. As you said, the act of painting during my trip will itself be a special memory regardless of the quality of the painting I produce. Thank you for all the encouragement you provide with your art travel vlogs
Love, Love, Love this video of your trip to Nice. Great footage and commentary was excellent. You captured the beauty in every way. Loved how you took us along with you and showed us what you sketched. Loved seeing the great connection you and your sister have. You out did yourself again. ❤
Ooooo thank you for taking us along and sharing your lovely trip! It looks beautiful and I can see why you would want to take an art holiday there. 🙂 Seeing these art stores reminds me of my favorite one in my home town. It was a family owned business that had been there for 50 years, but the owners decided to retire so they closed the shop. Perhaps someday I will see lovely stores like these again.
Lovely video, Sketches. I enjoyed the journey vicariously through you! Nice art retreat!
Thank you so much Miranda 💙
Lovely 😍, great inspiration. Big Up to Sis, She's such a trooper. Her work is awesome. Ya'll keep up the good work.
Thank you so much RKDiva! She really is :D x x
Nice art retreat! 🏝 Thank you for sharing, the video was wonderful.
Thank you so much for watching, being an MVP and your lovely words Snow! x
This was so good and inspiring. What a beautiful place and I love your art🩷🩷🩷
Thank you so much Alex!! 😀
Woah, such a spontaneous trip! Having to pack in such a short time would probably stress me out lots 😅
You bought a lot of pencils along! And your sister is a good stalker :P I see lots of supplies that i’ve never seen before…
It’s so interesting that they sold the half pans naked like that! What a Nice art retreat and I love the jibes with your sis! It’s clear how close you two are! 😂 That very last sentence 😂😂😂. Putting that in was the absolute right choice, I had such a great laugh!
I love to travel but love to plan. Your band sketch is joyful. What a great memory. I have yet to take an art trip. I'm at the beginning of my journey and find you and your work so inspirational. It seems like no matter where you go your travel art pack will be different because each place is so different! You're awesome. Thanks for sharing. Nice art retreat! Yes, I watched until the end but I watched the video in separate parts. Beautiful work.
Nice art retreat.
Thank you so much 😀 x
Nice art retreat. Really enjoyed the video and the sites/painting
Thank you so much Lulabelle x x
Amazing! Nice art retreat! So enjoyable; what an incredible opportunity to spend 3 days there on a whim, relax, eat, shop, laugh, and paint! I too, love this kind of travel. Have a destination in mind, a home base in a central location, a few landmarks to see during the trip but spend most of the time just enjoying what's around me! I am interested in what your bag is to bring all those supplies. I end up bringing a variety of travel palettes, sketcbooks, travel brushes, pencils, and eraser. Now I'll probably include some Neocolor II and pitt pens after seeing your travel kit. I now HAVE to find the art stores wherever i am now! FUN. More travel videos with you and your sister. I understand your need to paint that hill even if she didn't haaa. I'd like to do this in Spain and/or Italy!
Nice art retreat. I think I'd love a retreat in New Orleans 😊
Thank you Lisa! New Orleans would be wonderful xx
I love that you went on your own art retreat! And you’re sister is lovely ☺️
Thank you so much Jesswood! x x
We’re doing a European tour in the summer by motorbike, so my sketching kit will need to be very minimal! I’ll have to check if any of the places we’re going have art shops. In terms of a mini art retreat, Valencia has some very interesting architecture, both older and modern, plenty of green space, next to the coast and has a fab market! Nice looks lovely, thanks to you and your sister for sharing!
Nice art retreat!!
❤ what a beautiful place and beautiful art! Seems like you have fun!
I wouldn’t have been able to leave that last art store with all those pigments in it! 😍
Thank you so much CL! It was hard to leave :D Do you make watercolours too? x x
Lovely art retreat! Looks like a fun adventure.
Thank you so much Tabitha! xx
What a wonderful trip! I love that you took the time to go paint. It is so funny to me that you were intimidated by that artist because I was just thinking how impressed I am by your color choices in your sketches. You ARE an artist! Own it.
This is perfect timing for me - I’m going to Europe for 3 weeks & definitely need to put some planning into which supplies I’m taking!!!
Ohhh that is so exciting! Where abouts are you going ? xx
Lovely Video. So fun and inspirational. Good job.
Thank you so much! xx
Nice art retreat! Incredible! All the art you created was beautiful! Love the way you rendered the jazz band! I really enjoyed this video! ❤❤❤
Aww! Thank you so much 💙💙💙 I’m so glad you enjoyed it xx
You like to tour the way I like to tour. I like to walk about and see what shows up. So many wonderful discoveries you might not find otherwise. And yes, always on the lookout for art stores. Hoping to find one or two in an upcoming trip to Vancouver and Alaska.😊 Your Castle Hill climb reminded me of the 435 (about) steps hubby and I climbed in a tower in Sienna, Italy. Pant, pant... You've made me want to go to Nice. Nice art retreat!
Nice retreat en Nice - tres bien faite !
Merci! xx
Nice art retreat! I’d love to go to Europe someday and have a little art retreat too.
Thank you so much for watching! I hope that you do that too DC! xx
What fun! Your sister did a great job filming ❤
Thank you 🤗
Nice art retreat! Thank you for the vlog, such a wonderful time you and your sister seem to have. Beautiful place and gorgeous art you created form it. 😍💜☀🎨
Thank you so much Zoe! I really appreciate it, we had a wonderful time x x

Thank you for watching Anna ❤️
Nice art retreat! 💛

Yayyyy Linda!!! I am so glad, thank you so much for watching and your super kind words x x
This was lovely to watch. Very inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much xx
Wow Nice Art Retreat👩🏻🎨!!! I love 💕 when you take us along on your traveling 🧳 art adventures. It’s so nice to see your Sister in the video with you too. Art videographers that are family members are always priceless to have. I too am finding that out. Loved all the art stores, the wonderful views, subjects to paint, 🎨 & really enjoyed the virtual tour. Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience with us! Looking forward to seeing your videos of your art supplies soon!
Awesome spontaneity! Good for you Sketches, I can't believe how warm it is so close to home, you look beautiful in yellow, I might take screen shots, your paintings and everything looks fabulous omg! Thank you both so much for sharing this gem of a video, Say hi to Sis ❤️ "nice art retreat " 💖 💕 ❤️ ✨️ 😊 ♥️
Nice art retreat! ❤
Thank you so much Laura ❤️
Such a fun video! It didn't even feel long at all. Beautifully shot and edited. Everything was stunning. I'm definitely going to be pausing to paint that castle and some of the street shots. :O Wow.
Awww!! Thank you so much Laura! I am soo glad you enjoyed it. This video really meant a lot to me and I've been editing it non-stop lol but really wanted it to be enjoyable for you and a source of inspiration! So I'm really glad. If you do recreate something, I would love it if you could share / tag me on instagram so I can see it :D - though no pressure. It would be amazing to see all that this video inspires x
@@SketchesnScrubs I will!
Nice art retreat 🥰
Thank you so much Samantha! x x😀
you found some lovely scenery to paint! i am all for leisurely travelling, taking in the sites and colours but Nice has also some cool, inspiring art museums. i'll be going to Bilbao in a few months and though i'm going to just enjoy the trip and not rush around looking for touristy sites i wouldn't miss the Guggenheim. i think one can combine the two. in Nice my personal favourite is the Chagall museum. he's use of colour is so breathtaking.
Very nice/nice video and trip.
Thank you ❤️❤️
This looks like heaven ☺☺
I'd love to do the same! And your video travelogue is so good. I love the sketches, and I agree outdoor painting is wonderful. I've just come off a one week tour in Italy. Not a long time to sketch but what I did, I love and, like you say, they bring back the memories. I'm in northern England, so Nice is a trek, but Amsterdam is just a 1/2 hour flying time for me. You've given me the idea! You might look at Pisa, Italy (direct flights from London, and a quick train ride to Florence, cheaper to stay) for another quick sketching holiday. It's very easy to get around and there's so much to see in both places, very picturesque. And delicious food!! I'll keep watching to see where you go next! And subscribing.
Maggie in Northumberland. 🌷
Thank you so much for watching and sharing Maggie! Italy is one of my favourite places but I am yet to go to Pisa, thank you for the recommendation. I don't go up North much either.. but the lake district has me tempted lol
Thank you for watching, your kind words and subscribing! I look forward to catching up in the comments and hearing about your adventures in Amsterdam! xx
It's so lovely seeing your face! Nice is so beautiful and seeing it through the eyes of an artist is something I never knew I needed. I saw the yellow car and immediately thought you'd have made an incredible sketch of that. Loved this vlog, can we have another?! Hey lil sisssssss, thank you videographer of life. 😄I laughed at your banter, the same way I did when I first met you both.
Thank you so much for watching MissMaryMak :D :D I am so glad you enjoyed it! My sister put in a shift with some of the angles lol.
It'd be lovely to catch up and meet again :D it was a lot of fun
Though I think Princess has moved to Nigeria? Lol x x
@@SketchesnScrubs yes we need to meet again! I’ll be in touch about it, abit busy the next 2 months but we’ll make it happen 💞
@@MissMaryMak 💞💞
Nice Nice art retreat
I see what you did there 😂❤️ thank you x
Greetings from 🇨🇦! Thus was such a delightful and inspiring video - thanks so much for it. I too make finding art supply stores the centre of every trip, along with sketching. You’ll laugh when I say my favourite place for doing that: your own beautiful London! I did a visual diary of my December trip there in a Royal Talens sketchbook and really cherish it ;and the memories). You are a vibrant artist and a real source of inspiration - thanks for all you do!
What a GREAT vid and so joyful to watch , I love to see your technique and the great supplies you take with you. Great choice Nice.. love it there , Love from Amsterdam Holland ✨
A nice art retreat! I couldn't cope without a long in advance plan! It is of course a lot more planning from Australia - so good to be able to hop across the channel to Europe! I think it would have been too hot for me there. I am going to an art retreat on Iona in a couple of weeks - I hope to be as inspired as you were :)
I hope you have a wonderful time on your art retreat x
And I’ve been to that perfume factory! I don’t think it’s possible to get out of there without buying something, lol.
Loool, I agree, I got two perfumes :P xx
I just loved this vlog. I took a ton of ss so I can paint the scenes myself! Thank you!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Carissa! If you dod paint anything and feel like sharing it on instagram, please tag me, I'd love to see it xx
Wow so nice! I love art and travel vlogs as well❤
Thank you so much Maria! 😊
omg last year when my parents went to monaco they went to that perfumerie and did the thing where they got to create their own perfumes and brought them back for me and god i would love to do it myself!!! i'm so jealous you went there and saw the factory 🙀
nice art retreat -- and nice and monaco are now at the top of my list of places to go to paint oh my god the colors!!!!! the ocean and the plants and the buildings!!!! i would die
Nice art retreat! I really like your vlog, it’s so full of happiness, joy, beautiful landscape and buildings, thank you for the inspiration! I definitely want to go on a art retreat too, don’t know where yet, maybe Copenhagen? Just visited Slovenia, which is also beautiful! Got so much inspiration there, still drawing from pictures that I took there :)
Thank you so much 😀xx
Overall your artwork is very pretty, this taking into account that you aren't a professional. You can always show your artwork and ask for advice, opinion or say that you are trying to make some compositions whenever you have time. Thank you for upload, pretty hair lady 😊😊
YESSSSSS!! NICKEL AZO YELLOW!!! The quin golds I love are PY150 and PO48 so I have Nickel Azo Yellow in every brand that makes it with PY150! And I also have stocked up on Quin Burnt Orange (Daniel Smith) and Quin Rust (M Graham) So can mix my own Quin Gold in the percentages of each pigment that I like. Quin Gold is literally the color of light, everyone always asks me how I can get it to look like there's actual light radiating off the page and all I tell them is "It's not me, it's just the paint"🤣🤣
Edit: Oops1 I forgot to add the "Nice Art Trip" at the end!
Nice art retreat! You and your sister make a great team 😄
Thank you so much 😀❤️
Best Western is a chain of motels and hotels all over the world so like McDonald’s is a franchise except the individual motel or hotel has their own name. When you go there you just Byatt under the franchise name. It’s one you can become a member of that, then you get deals for When you go away. We even have them here in Australia.
Absolutely beautiful footage. Thank you so much for sharing.
Very inspiring...
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

❤❤❤
❤👍
Thank you ❤️
Where are the art supplies… Love it! Thanks for inviting us on your trip. Had a great time watching. Bon retour 😘 😘
Thank you Carole!! :D I had a wonderful time and I am so glad that you enjoyed it x x
I love you spontaneity! And thank you to you and your sister for videoing and sharing your trip, so fun. Do you have a video of the paints you took with you? I love the idea of a grab and go bag, I’ve been trying to curate two this past year. A small back pack ready to go for either studio work or urban sketching. Just essential kits so I’m ready at any point to go make art x
Thank you so much Suzi&Piper! I am glad you enjoyed it. I share all the supplies I took with me ( and what I ended up using) in an exclusive video for my art club members next week.

Can't wait to see how you use the linel, not a lot people talk about them on yt but they are the one I have since they're less expensive that other brands in France 😊 I definitely need to do a art trip soon I just love your video so much ❤️
I think Charvin are more known for their oil colours. I had a hard time finding watercolour information or reviews of them so I gave up.
There wasn't much online for me either, or in the shop to be honest! I am yet to use them as it has been super busy at work, but I will share my impression when I do. Most obvious is that there is no pigment information or wrapping or information in general lol, and they are quite expensive. Were it not for the sentiment of them being from France while I was in France, I don't think I would have bought them lol
I've shifted from buying souvenirs while away, and now buy art supplies lol x x
@@SketchesnScrubs sensible idea. Souvenirs just tend to gather dust unless they're practical. And it’s often cheaper to buy French products like Sennelier more cheaply in France than in Australia. Although it may not be such a big price difference between the UK and Europe.
I'd have certainly come home with Sennelier products from Nice if it had been me. And some Charvin oils to try. I got the feeling from the bit of information I found about Charvin, they didn’t put too much effort into their watercolours as they really concentrate on showcasing their oils.
I also have a feeling it may have been Charvin water colours that were rebranded and sold under a fashion label name with an eyewatering price. I’ll have to go and have a sticky.
Now that’s the way to do things. Ooooooooh sunshine……😮 When I lived in Kuwait I used to do spontaneous flights to places for a couple of days and then night flight back and from the airport back to work ( teacher). Love the bloopers. It’s a shame you couldn’t get that chair/bag. Nice art retreat.
Nice art retreat .Really enjoying your channel and this last minute trip looks superb. Love the art supplies. Very curious how you use the crayons. Maybe they’re not crayons, photographer here and new to these mediums. Just started water colours and sketching.
Thanks for watching and your kind words Colin! They are crayons that can be dissolved with water or left as is with their crayon like texture. They are called Neocolor 2. (There are Neocolor 1 that have the same colours but don't dissolve with water). I usually use them on top of my art work for extra pops of colour - I show close ups of what I mean in this video (at 12:16 - ruclips.net/video/6UtoenTj9LE/видео.htmlsi=XpEaknT7XSA2gFC8&t=737 ). I just think they can be a fun way of adding texture / colour / interest but they can be used in lots of ways. There are a few more pieces with them in that sketchbook tour.
I hope this helps! Welcome to the wonderful world of watercolour :) Feel free to ask questions should you ever get stuck. ... and to make suggestions of where in Ireland I should visit :D Have a lovely week x
Hi. I was already planning a trip to the south of France at the end of June. I am dying to know what you think of the Chavin watercolors because I am toying with the idea of buying a set as a useful souvenir and only bring a very small back up set of watercolors with me.
First!
Thank you awatercolourist! :D :D And for your kind words in the premiere! x x
I couldn’t find your art haul for this trip. Was I wrong that you had a more in depth video?
You're not wrong, I'm still editing it but hope to complete it soon. Thanks for watching x
Lovely video. Can you tell me where you got the little pans on your portable painter thanks
Thank you Lora! The small pans came with the portable painter x
I wish… WISH i could be this spontaneous 🥲🥲
I hope the opportunity presents itself xx
