Thank you for joining us. Honestly I think I really wanted to get this up so I could enjoy a chin wag in the comments. It’s not much of a video but its nice to chat xx love to all
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one that always gets sick at the end of the year. Every. Single. Year. I guess people's defences are lower when they know they can stop working and just relax for a week or two. Finally, there's time to get sick! 😕 Re. the drawing ideas... How about a polyptych or a four-part seasonal series with a "Where's Mabel?" theme? It could be one panel with Mabel's face concealed in a field of daffodils for spring, or peeking out from behind a sand castle on a beach for summer, or from inside a pile of leaves in autumn, and one with her face visible looking wistfully out of a narrowboat window with rain running down it for winter - or with her face 'hidden' amongst a pile of blankets. Just an idea - or four... All the best for a healthy and happy 2025!
Oh yes I agree it’s always when we stop! When I was dancing I would be on 100 miles an hr, if I stopped for a second that was it 😂 oh that is a fantastic idea! I love it. Almost a book idea ❤
@Artinthecorridor A fun book or even an extra calendar concept if you a created a 'Where's Mabel?' illustration for each month - and a big market with so many border terrier owners in the Uk.
Take care and get well soon! As far as a drawing is concerned, I’d love you to draw a beautiful Kingfisher along the canal. Kingfishers, Hummingbirds and Crows are my spirit animals and I love them! Many thanks & Happy New Year. ✨🙏🏻🏴
Hope you both feel better soon.. it would be great to see a Hannah style drawing of Tenby harbour or maybe a drawing or Lino print of a swan as I absolutely love swans 🦢 great to see your video of our neck of the woods we are not far from Swansea.. take care from Sharon, Chris and Basil the pup xx
You will not regret getting those pencils, I have the same ones in a 72 set. They are lovely colours and wonderful for drawing flowers and birds as you can get such fine detail of stamens or feathers. You will need a good sharpener and I use sandpaper to get a good point. Why not make yourself feel better by focusing on Spring and warmer weather, snowdrops, daffodils, tulips, pansies or violas. All colourful and fun to draw. Sending you both a big hug, take care of yourselves, hope you feel much better very soon.
I always use good quality paper, a heavy weight cartridge, the best I can afford and buy usually when it is reduced. I also use 200lb water colour paper as I often do a watercolour painting and then use my pencils to enhance the detail and create deeper colours and shadows. It is often more effective than many layers of paint where you risk overworking it. Hope that helps.
Get well soon. I think you’re right Hannah, it is the Christmas socialising that gets you. Make Sue you take the time to recover fully despite the creative urges.
Oh I'm so sorry you were poorly over Christmas 🫂... Yesterday we saw two hares running across a field.. can you incorporate two hares in your next drawing Hannah? Take care and get well soon, love Tash x
oh dear i feel your pain, wayne and I are the same - i started just before christmas whilst wayne started with it on christmas day (great christmas present for him) thanks for taking the time though to vlog still x
So sorry you’ve had it too. I started Xmas day too then Ant went down the next day. It’s a really weird one hopefully we are all on the end of it. Thank you for watching and feel better x
So sorry you've not been well over the Christmas period. Hopefully, it won't be long before you are at full health again. Drawing suggestion, poorly little girl in bed, dreaming of what she will do when she better. Xxx
Get well soon….idea for drawing….fireworks shooting into the sky and then landing as spring flowers to remind us that after the winter the spring will follow x
Lovely Vlog . Suggestions that you wanted might include some lovely still life interiors of your beautiful boat and that way you don’t have to go anywhere! I use a viewfinder to edit things out Which you can make yourself
Thank you. What a good idea. Then my space becomes less of a cabin fever fuelled place and something to create on paper. Thank you for that idea ❤ love to you
I can honestly say Hannah the only times I’ve ever caught a cold is when I was bus driving… 24 years as a live aboard and besides Kidney Stones ( which I still have and suffer with) I’ve never been ill… since I retired 4 years ago I’ve never had a cough or cold… “it’s the bloody public” that spread germs not us!😂… as a suggestion for a drawing.. how about bringing to life “ your dream country cottage” or what you would like it to be if money wasn’t an object? would it have animals? flowers? lots of veg? Get well soon and keep warm… Happy New Year to you both! and Mable of course😊🥂🍾
Thank you Shirley. We have some daily vitamins. I don’t absorb things very efficiently unfortunately but we will keep shoving them in 😂. Thank you for being here ❤ lots of love
Polychomos are great initially expensive but you can replace colours individually and you can add to it individually as well. They are oil based and you can use them with watercolour as a liner underneath or ontop also feel better ❤
so sorry you are both unwell had flu bad last xmas and felt like a zombie ,how about drawing the birdlife you see from the boat,hope you start to feel better soon
My sympathies! I was sick too, lost my voice (Christmas miracle 😅) Draw a christmasy scene and put it away to surprise yourself next year (and hopefully won’t be sick). Something with fairy lights? have a happy healthy new years 🥳
It may sound boring but if you travel in close proximity to lurgies, I suggest wearing a mask. Get better soon, you two. Strangely, I'm going to buy some of those pencils today! 😊
Hope you feeling better soon. New year will wait for you. We had Christmas Day on the 26th as one of our crew was in hospital on 24th and 25th. Here's hoping for a healthy 2025. For the drawing challenge how about using the lifeboat card as inspiration. Whatever you do it will be awesome x
Thank you for taking the time to make a vlog for us, especially as you are feeling well. I hope you are better soon and wish you a Happy New Year. I have a suggestion for what you could paint, maybe a lovely cabin in a wood, on a night time, with the light from inside of the cabin and all the stars and the moon in the sky.
Oh that’s a great idea thank you Rebecca. I did a cabin in the woods prior but it was not what I wanted it to be. So yes I will try your suggestion. Thank you and lots of love x
Hope you both feel much better soon! It’s rotten being sick anytime, but always horrid at Christmas. I have the FC Poly’s, they’re fab! How about a little portrait of Mabel? Happy - and healthy - new year!
Hi folks So sorry you folk’s being sick, special on the holidays. I was like that always sick and almost 2 years now I start taking NAC supplements. I haven’t had the flu or being sick since. I have a thought of a drawing of child’s and people sliding down a hill or something like that. Hope you folks start feeling better. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you both.
Ow that sounds lovely. I thought about ice skating too. Yes I need to get some supplements sorted I think. Hope you are well and have a happy new year x
Get well soon! I think that was your first outro with hannah on our left! You always sit the otherway round! Can relate to missing Christmas... i was so worried Christmas would be rubbish for bea with me just out of hospital etc.... fortunately it wasnt. Santa came and she got lots of lovely gifts. It was an emotionally charged one for me with things finally catching up with me. Relief that my surgery happened and is done, relief that santa found NanAnns house and delivered an amazing haul for Beatrix. Frustration that recovery is as slow as it is (im terribly impatient) and gratitude to my mum and brother who have taken the reins in looking after Beatrix for me...nagged her to wear her hearing aids, put up with her endless energy levels, played games, coloured in, baked cakes and taken her for walks. Regarding pictures to do.... heres some suggestions from us. Use music as inspiration.... i played 30 years in various orchestras as violinist... so violinist playing out in nature...(now theres a challenge) bea loves your girl in the moon pictures. Its been really foggy, so some eerie misty pictures...is that doable? Were hoping to go home home on Tuesday. Stephen is coming down to look after us and take the strain off mum. Ill be glad to get home to my own bed! Sorry youve been ill over the big C.... look forward to more art n shenanigans as we hit 2025! Happy new year HanAnt and mabel from Helly, Bea and Mr G xxx ❤❤❤😊
Aww, hope you're better soon. There's a really nasty flu doing the rounds, I know loads of people who have also been really sick over Christmas. But New year is nearly here, so many blessings to you both and Mabel of course. Lots of love 💕🦋 xx
Thank you. There certainly sounds like it’s been a bad one and effected lots of people. I wondered if it was covid again but not for us this time. Thank you for your kind words and blessings to you too ❤
I think that is a great idea sue as I go into the new year and throughout. A little sketch book is in order I think. Thank you for being here and I hope you had a good one and a happy new year to you ❤
I got that horrible thing myself a week or so back and I've only just got over it; i hope you both feel better soon.On your drawing suggestions, I would like to propose a cross channel piece of art with you. I would love to send you a pencil drawing of one of my cartoons and have you paint it up, or use the coloured pencils, in your own charming, inimitable style.
Aww guys you poor things, how did you manage to put out a video being so ill! Hope you're over it soon. Hannah could you draw people dancing or maybe ice skating on a lake? Thanks x
My old dog always found his parcels under the tree. So sorry you’ve both been ill, thanks so much for posting, I wasn’t expecting anything. Hope you both feel better soon. Can you draw Mabel playing with her toys with your lovely new pencils Hannah! Happy New Year !!
Mabel had a good day, that’s the main thing. And she has been very patient without proper walks bless her. Thank you and hope you are well and had a good Xmas ❤
For what it’s worth, a jug of ribena, or a glass of lemonade…. Not squash- cheaper than water ….. as hot as you can manage it. Consumed under a blanket.
Have you ever tried to both do the same subject? I thought all of Ant’s motion-art would be great on some curly haired sheep and Hannah could do them in a fanciful meadow scene. See how you interpret them. Happy New Year to you!
Hi, yes we did actually do a video where we had the same brief for a commission. It was a lot of fun. But I love your idea and the way you have described it too ❤
Ideas for drawings Hannah- your special drawers/cupboard with new curtains behind....or draw Ant's Terrarium, or a Christmas cactus???.. Take care and get well soon x0x
Thank you Miranda, your suggestions have helped me to feel a bit happier and look around me out of the lurgy blues. Great ideas, especially Ants terrarium ❤
When you feel well enough I would love to see you draw a beautiful, carefree, young, barefoot dancer with a ring of white daises in her long flowing auburn hair, wearing a long organza dress dancing in a field of wild flowers. I look forward to watching your videos each week and the beautiful artwork you and Ant do. I wish you both a speedy recovery and good health, happiness and prosperity for 2025. xx
Green PVA at that🤢Yes l lost Boxing Day to a virus that evolves quicker than us .As a fellow artist and creative person l can’t wait to be outside again and do a landscape .Food for thought?Get well soon both and a Happy New Year 🥳
Oh no sorry you were Ill too. I can’t wait to get outside. I absolutely hate being stuck in and doing nothing but being crook it drives me insane. We will appreciate it even more when we are all better. Take care x
We’ve had this too🫣missed Christmas and just starting to recover now 😢we couldn’t eat anything with the virus either 🫣absolute nightmare our worst Christmas yet x
Oh you Poor things. I think there has been loads of people hit with it. I think we should all have Christmas in June instead. It’s the cabin fever of it all and the fevers are the worst. I hope you feel much better really soon, sending big love your way x
"Tis the Season to be Poorly, Fa-La-La-La-La, and Achoo!" Viruses are the gift that keep on giving. Hope you both get over this soon. Hope Santa brought extra tissues!
Do you do fireworks in the UK to ring in theNewYear? Perhaps a drawing of Fireworks celebratory over the canal? Prayers for wellness Happy New Year to you three! From NC USA
That’s a lovely idea, I think it be tricky but good idea. Yes we do have fireworks although it was a bit windy so I didn’t hear any. Happy new year and thank you for watching ❤
You could draw the 12 coughs of 2024. One for each month of the year. Tell in a picture what stands out in your memory, or what you think stands out in Mabel’s memory if yours is not too keen on participating.
That is a fantastic idea, it would be rather grim but interesting. Love the idea of drawing a highlight in Mabel’s memory ❤❤ thank you for your suggestions it’s so cool to see how others think x
Is what it is guys, get better soon keep hitting the cold and flu capsules, see you on the other side of 2024 bring it on 2025. I'm looking at doing more creative stuff this coming year as ive just retired (in fact last day tomorrow) and will have the time for the new puppy we have and to get some creative juices flowing. What about drawing an illustration from a book inspiration, whats your favourite book?...anyway have a great new year....Ellis
@Artinthecorridor wonderful 😊 I just recovered from the same and a nasty chest infection by Christmas eve enough to somewhat enjoy Christmas day with my family so I fully empathize. Here's to a healthy prosperous new year for all of us ❤️
Thank you for joining us. Honestly I think I really wanted to get this up so I could enjoy a chin wag in the comments. It’s not much of a video but its nice to chat xx love to all

Thank you for taking the time to make a vlog for us, especially as you are feeling well. I hope you are better soon and wish you a Happy New Year.

Don’t worry about us. We’ll be waiting, so get yourselves better soon
Thank you Marie ❤❤

I'm so sorry you've had a rubbish time😢. Hope you feel better soon.
I would like Hannah to draw the nature surrounding you on the canals 😊
I think that is a great idea sue as I go into the new year and throughout. A little sketch book is in order I think. Thank you for being here and I hope you had a good one and a happy new year to you ❤
@Artinthecorridor look forward to seeing what you create Hannah. Happy and Healthy New Year to you , Anthony and Mabel xxx
At least you had each over. Better than a depressing xmas on your own. Talk about crippling loneliness.
I guess the best is to say get well soon and please take care of yourselves
Thank you and you ❤
I got that horrible thing myself a week or so back and I've only just got over it; i hope you both feel better soon.On your drawing suggestions, I would like to propose a cross channel piece of art with you. I would love to send you a pencil drawing of one of my cartoons and have you paint it up, or use the coloured pencils, in your own charming, inimitable style.
Get well soon guys. Such a shame to be so poorly over Christmas. Hope you get to use your pencils soon! Much love. ❤
I’ve been given so many ideas, it’s really cheered me up and helped me to think outside of the grey lurgy box. Thank you, much love ❤
Same, I’ve had a horrendous cold that started before Christmas and I’m still trying to shift. Miserable. Feel better soon. Best wishes for 2025 x
Aww guys you poor things, how did you manage to put out a video being so ill! Hope you're over it soon. Hannah could you draw people dancing or maybe ice skating on a lake? Thanks x
So sorry you guys had a horrible Christmas. Hope you feel better soon!
Thank you Paul. Hope you are well and happy road to the new year x
My old dog always found his parcels under the tree. So sorry you’ve both been ill, thanks so much for posting, I wasn’t expecting anything. Hope you both feel better soon. Can you draw Mabel playing with her toys with your lovely new pencils Hannah! Happy New Year !!
Mabel had a good day, that’s the main thing. And she has been very patient without proper walks bless her. Thank you and hope you are well and had a good Xmas ❤
For what it’s worth, a jug of ribena, or a glass of lemonade…. Not squash- cheaper than water ….. as hot as you can manage it. Consumed under a blanket.
Oh yes my mum used to give me hot Ribena ! I love it. Thank you for reminding me. Lots of love❤
Have you ever tried to both do the same subject? I thought all of Ant’s motion-art would be great on some curly haired sheep and Hannah could do them in a fanciful meadow scene. See how you interpret them. Happy New Year to you!
Hi, yes we did actually do a video where we had the same brief for a commission. It was a lot of fun. But I love your idea and the way you have described it too ❤
Ideas for drawings Hannah- your special drawers/cupboard with new curtains behind....or draw Ant's Terrarium, or a Christmas cactus???.. Take care and get well soon x0x
Thank you Miranda, your suggestions have helped me to feel a bit happier and look around me out of the lurgy blues. Great ideas, especially Ants terrarium ❤

I look forward to watching your videos each week and the beautiful artwork you and Ant do. I wish you both a speedy recovery and good health, happiness and prosperity for 2025. xx
Look out of the window and draw your seroundings...
All the best to you! Do you ever draw the bird life along the canal? 🤩
Not specifically, but it be nice to focus on. Thank you for the thought ❤

@ Ditto guys 😇happy new year everyone 😇
"Tis the Season to be Poorly, Fa-La-La-La-La, and Achoo!" Viruses are the gift that keep on giving. Hope you both get over this soon. Hope Santa brought extra tissues!
Hehe, ugh they certainly are. Winter ay! At least it’s temporarily. Hope you are well and had a nice time ❤
Search for cafe netting this is ideal for narrowboat windows
Yes thank you. That’s what I’ve been looking at ordering. I was going to make some but decided this will be a better tidier option ❤
Do you do fireworks in the UK to ring in theNewYear? Perhaps a drawing of Fireworks celebratory over the canal? Prayers for wellness Happy New Year to you three! From NC USA
That’s a lovely idea, I think it be tricky but good idea. Yes we do have fireworks although it was a bit windy so I didn’t hear any. Happy new year and thank you for watching ❤

Grab yourself a good quality prebiotic/probiotic combo to build up your immune system.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ❤
Yes we should. I used to take a pre and pro, I’ve slipped . I need to get back up to speed with health. Hope you are well and thank you ❤
@Artinthecorridor wonderful 😊
I just recovered from the same and a nasty chest infection by Christmas eve enough to somewhat enjoy Christmas day with my family so I fully empathize.
Here's to a healthy prosperous new year for all of us ❤️
