Sarah...I live in wet and misty Wales . Often frustrated by the weather but watching this video has just let me see the opportunities I have let slip by. I too feel trapped by winter months but you let me see I can find the light and stop grumping. Frosted sheep is pure joy. Thank you.
IMO There is only consciousness and the act of observation maintains and creates our physical reality. there is nothing more important than diligently minding your perspective and what you feed your mind. lovely and thoughtful vid Sarah.
Love your fog paintings . Using watercolour and gouache together omg they are perfect match for misty winter scenes for that subtlety of light. Love love love.
Oh my Sarah! We are so thankful you have this platform as well. Thank you for sharing the gentle beauty in life. You are such a talented artist in so many ways. Thank you again.
That kind of constantly grey and drizzly weather and incessant dampness can really make a person feel miserable. it's like it seeps into your bones. It's like that on the west coast of Tasmania. I don't know how they survive the winter. Here in the highlands we are in a rain shadow, so the winter is filled with crisp cold rozen days with blue skies. When it rains it rains properly, but then we get a respite. Down in the valley it is foggy all winter. Add into that wood smoke from people's homes and it gets pretty awful pretty quickly. So, I feel for you. On a positive note, these foggy scenes are just gorgeous. It's amazing to me how a few abstract wet in wet marks suddenly become distance trees through the fog to create a magical winter landscape.
I'm close to the coast, so we are often hit by the arctic winds from the north, which blows freezing air into our valley and sort of clears things quickly. However that means the wind makes it so much colder 😅 But I do wonder in the lowlands if they have bad pollution in winter. But yea there are many days of grey, and I will fly my drone up to see the sun...it's like a little reminder that the light is there and eventually it will come back to us!
I always enjoy watching your process of painting and expressing this in your sketchbook or on paper!!! You talk about struggles at time but you seem to paint so effortlessly!!!
You’re such a rebel, watercolour into gouache to tint, gouache into watercolour to cloud, glaze a sky glow last…demonstrates the play and versatility of the mediums. Can’t wait for spring !
I love how you always combine really useful tips and suggestions while sharing gorgeous atmospheric scenes and music!! It’s both soothing and inspiring and helpful all at once - thank you!!
I absolutely love your winter foggy scenes! Absolutely gorgeous. Each video you post feels like a love letter to nature and you can really feel the peaceful appreciation through it. Thank you for sharing
I just love both of these paintings! You captured the vibe of the landscape perfectly. Absolutely beautiful! The sheep are my favorite. I am amazed at how effortless you make it look. I really want to get to a point where I can paint loosely like that and actually get something that looks good. I toil over every brush stroke, it seems.. I should probably just dial up a bunch of your videos and have them playing while I paint because they are so relaxing to watch and listen to. Thanks for your Saturday morning posts…they are a great way to start the weekend. ❤
Another brilliant video and amazing artworks. Your 'reverence of nature' is palpable and you capture it so well. Relaxing and inspiring at the same time; this has set me up well for the day! Thanks Sarah :)
This reminds me so much of the San Joaquin Valley in California in winter. I used to think there wasn't anything interesting about all the fog and gloominess until I found a photographer, Michael Frye, who photographed scenes of fog there. After that, I appreciated so much more the beauty of a foggy morning. Your paintings are so inspiring and beautiful. Frosted sheep--ha ha, so cute!
Thanks for a beautiful video. The photography is stunning. I also usually feel shut in in Winter. I hate the cold and don't like to go out when it's snowy and icy. Brrrrrr! But this video shows me the good side of Winter, how Winter is actually beautiful. And, as a fairly new fan of yours, I've basically binged watched your videos over the past few months and I have noticed that you have made a lot of progress. Especially with the use of colour. Wonderful! Looking forward to the next one. Stay warm!
Gorgeous paintings! The whole time I’m watching, I’m thinking, how did she get that lovely foggy look?! Thank you for sharing your talents. So excited for my subscription box❣️
Such a peaceful feeling your paintings evoke! I wish I could teleport into them lol and get away from our cold Canadian prairies (calling for -40 to -50c windchills).
Excellent and enjoyable video Sarah greatly appreciate you sharing your talent and explaining your technique for creating this painting with such detail colours and depth, I appreciate how you achieve within your videos the whole journey is very inclusive and wellbeing in the whole process. Thanks greatly appreciated stay safe and healthy
Oh my goodness. "Frosted Sheep" is so so beautiful. I almost teared up. It is now one of my favorites of your works so far. So lovely. 😢 Wish I could own it! ...or paint that well myself. Working on that. 😊
It's always lovely seeing more of Scotland! When I visited in August it was freezing so I can't even imagine how cold it must be now 😬these paintings are so gorgeous! ❤
Sarah the photography and your paintings are fantastic. I went to purchase Frosted Sheep and it was already sold so was thankful to be able to purchase a few prints instead. Love your work and found this video very calming and also inspiring…thanks for all the effort you put into these videos. 😻
Great sentiment in the video! Learned a lot from a video making perspective since i am doing 100 days of landscapes! I am also looking to share these kind of moments and sentiments with people, since they are so unique and beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
@@SarahBurnsStudio Well I onlt do 15min paintings but as you know i cant paint outside everyday in winter. With minus degrees and watercolor, it just doesnt work! (havent tried vodka in the water) So yeah, lots of days with cold hands and/or rain and snow xD I really liked the first piece btw, "frosted sheep". Really well done with the colors and the subtleties!
This is one of my favorite videos of 2024 so far. I really got the feeling of being on those frosty foggy hillsides. I'm so enjoying the wintery content! 😊❄❤
In Ohio we are in the thick of Winter. Gloominess for days and now arctic blast. However I’m still embracing winter the soft light in the house. Keeping the house cozy knowing there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Your scenery is amazing. I miss the mountains you are truly blessed. Happy painting Sarah also hi to Wolfie
Sarah, this video fed my soul….it wasn’t just the beautiful video to graphs, but also your audio guide to your thoughts and feelings. I am so grateful that I found you.
I can see why you’re inspired, Sarah - is there any time of the year when Scotland *doesn’t* show off some unexpectedly incredible beauty?! 👏 We have fog here in California, too (not quite the same, but still), so I’ll be trying the techniques you described 🎨 Thank you for another wonderful look into your art journey (yay Frosted Sheep! 🐑 )
Same here in Russia - we have winter for 5 months and we only have sun when the temperature is within the range of -30 and -20 degrees:( If it's something above, it means there will be weeks of gloomy grey skies... pretty hard to find motivation for something, so I can relate so much to that. It also resonated when you said that you painted without paying attention to brands or types of paints you were using. I personally noticed that I've finally started growing only when I stopped caring about what brands I was using and basically just grabbed whatever I had near my hand at that moment. Beautiful paintings as always!
I love the sense of peace that fog can bring and I think you captured that in your paintings. They definitely transported me back to the foggy footage you shared.
I LOVE this painting w fence posts, Sarah! Omg! You captured it! I tried using one of those glass dip pens for my frisket - worked pretty darn good, and easy to clean - by comparison to a brush....
Hey Girl!!! You captured the elusive fog. Always a challenge for me. Love how you don’t belabor the brushstrokes. Keep it fresh. Lay it down and get out. Also, the video quality is much higher (editing). I noticed. Is that Wolfies work? Big props and tell him hi for me. Peace.
@@SarahBurnsStudio Well then you’ve gotten very advanced with you editing chops. So I’m stateside and it’s so refreshing to tag along in Scotland. So freaking beautiful. I really like the random life bits in your other vids too. If you ever have any doubts about “is it interesting enough”, don’t. It’s a rare and personal glimpse into daily life and random thoughts. Top notch content.
Thank you Sara! Your videos fill me with such joy, peace and magical wonderment! Your paintings are mystical and beautiful!😊🧚☃️❄️🍄 I’ve got to go and paint now!🥰
Is there some type of RUclips footage award thing? Sorry if this is like a stupid noob question, but the footage that you film and put into your videos is like none other! And it deserves recognition! I mean your artwork is underrated too, but that's a totally different subject!
Thank you for sharing the different moods of Scotland with us. One can easily see why you love it so much. Your painting always inspires me. I love the soft beauty of winter captured in this video. The photography is outstanding and the accompanying music works perfectly. The video is a work of art in itself. So well done.
Those drone shots from above the clouds are so beautiful, I could watch those for hours! The paintings are so good too! No doubt they sell very very soon! Amazing video as always, thank you and Wolfie for making these!
10 am central time in Illinois. I can't wait to see how you paint the fog. We have a lot of sblowing snow, and it's cold. The sun is shining so it's beautiful. My happy place at the moment is watching your video. Thank you, Sarah!
The paintings are so beautiful Sarah. I use gouache and I use watercolour but I very often find I just have to add in some gouache to my watercolour pieces. The more robust gouache seems to amplify the subtleties of the water colour and make them glow more. Where they were humming now they are singing. I just bought some Kuretake Gansai Tambi and have been playing with it for a couple of days. Already I’m itching to use watercolour with it to see how they play together. No doubt gouache will be coming to the party too. Happy painting
Some say it is between gouache and watercolour but so far it is like opaque watercolour to me. I have only done one painting that includes it with my watercolours so far, so I have used it more like watercolour. I think the layering properties feel more like gouache though. Still getting the feel of it. @@SarahBurnsStudio
I struggle in the heat give me autumn any day and perhaps spring, I have pictures from a friend that travelled Indonesia ,Philippines and he had some magical pictures of being so high up in an area that you could see the clouds in the trees I guess the highest ones , I'm not sure how to paint it.
What are ye using for a board to stretch your paper on ? Also how do ye stop the paper from buckling when ye spray it down with the water ? Thanks ... beautiful work :)
oh my god, the frosted sheep painting is so gorgeous!!!
Thank you!
Frosted Sheep...So Beautiful!!!
The paintings were awsome, there will be lucky owners.
Frosted Sheep is brilliant! So beautiful.
Your masterful use of water based paints is inspiring. I am in awe!
Thank you so much!
I just love how the painting came out with the sheep’s , you captured the fog really well.
Also...the granulation in the fog...I love that texture!
Sarah...I live in wet and misty Wales . Often frustrated by the weather but watching this video has just let me see the opportunities I have let slip by. I too feel trapped by winter months but you let me see I can find the light and stop grumping. Frosted sheep is pure joy. Thank you.

I love 'Frosted Sheep'! The technique you used to create the fog was very effective. Thank you for another inspiring video!
This is so awesome and beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just Beautiful! I love the foggy scenes😊❤
love the video as always and the foggy scenes are very ghostly and ethereal as they should be - excellent
I always enjoy watching your process of painting and expressing this in your sketchbook or on paper!!! You talk about struggles at time but you seem to paint so effortlessly!!!

Haha I didn't know paint rebel was a thing 😅
AND - beautiful paintings!
I’m so excited for your gouache box lessons, I hope you have fog in the lessons.
Your videos bring me so much joy. There’s no one like you on RUclips. You are so talented.
These paintings are absolutely stunning! I love soft, still landscapes and you captured them so beautifully!
I love how you always combine really useful tips and suggestions while sharing gorgeous atmospheric scenes and music!! It’s both soothing and inspiring and helpful all at once - thank you!!
That's exactly what I'm going for 😊
Lovely video and paintings. Thanks for sharing with us.
These are beautiful Sarah, greetings from Australia 🇦🇺, reminds me of where I grew up in Tasmania in Winter.
Love your videos…you and Wolfie make a great team. I’m so looking forward to the Craftamo gouache box and VIDEO.
beautiful pictures
Love this painting!
Just beautiful 😊
This was so beautiful! I love painting foggy landscapes and adding white into the wet watercolour is genius, I may have to steal that :D
I love your work! Lovely!

Thank you so very much :)
Beautiful landscape, it would be a fun series capturing fog in several different paintings.
Yes there are lots of different strategies for painting the fog, and it's been fun to explore that with my recent inspiration
So beautiful! The scenery, the paintings, all of it! Thanks for taking us along🙏🙏🙏
Oh my goodness. "Frosted Sheep" is so so beautiful. I almost teared up. It is now one of my favorites of your works so far. So lovely. 😢 Wish I could own it! ...or paint that well myself. Working on that. 😊
I'm so glad! I ended up adding prints of it to my shop too 😊
Beautiful video! thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely stunning work, I have been watching for at least a year. I do believe the work you're doing now is my favorite.
Thank you very much :)
It's always lovely seeing more of Scotland! When I visited in August it was freezing so I can't even imagine how cold it must be now 😬these paintings are so gorgeous! ❤
Haha August was lovely!
I LOVE how you captured the misty feel. I've been wanting to try that and have been wrestling with my end results. You have inspired me, for sure!
Keep going, it might take many pages but eventually you get it!
Looking forward to getting the subscription box... it’s been a long month waiting for the first one to ship.

We are so very lucky that you take the time to share the beauty all around you. And to let us into your beautiful paintings.❤️
Enjoy “your “ winter Sarah you’re missing -20 here in Colorado right now lol!!!
Ouch!
"There will always be light. It just depends where you look."
Great sentiment in the video! Learned a lot from a video making perspective since i am doing 100 days of landscapes! I am also looking to share these kind of moments and sentiments with people, since they are so unique and beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Scotland has a way of looking stunning in all weather and light 😊 It's just a matter of braving the elements to find the views

Sarah, love your work and your videos. I just looked at your site and believe you need to raise your prices for your originals! xx
Prices are based on the materials and time
10 am central time in Illinois. I can't wait to see how you paint the fog. We have a lot of sblowing snow, and it's cold. The sun is shining so it's beautiful. My happy place at the moment is watching your video. Thank you, Sarah!

Stunning video Sarah love the drone footage, have you ever screen shot a drone video you made and do a painting from it a Birds Eye view painting.
Yes I've painted a couple of things from birds eye view, it's a little tricky and mostly it means the details are tiny
I struggle in the heat give me autumn any day and perhaps spring, I have pictures from a friend that travelled Indonesia ,Philippines and he had some magical pictures of being so high up in an area that you could see the clouds in the trees I guess the highest ones , I'm not sure how to paint it.
So inspiring Sarah. I just love those frosty trees. Is Stillness sold?
Thank you! I just checked and yes both originals have sold
I love your landscape paintings and your gouache reviews❤. Would it be possible for you to try out the masterclass gouache paint by nevskaya palitra?
Beautiful intro!!
🥰🤩😍
Zinc white is transparent white i suppose...
Yep
Hi Sarah, i was wondering do you use a drone with a camera to do some of your videos? They are beautiful pictures in Scotland :)
I recently upgraded to the DJI Mini 3 Pro (previously used the first gen Mini)
What are ye using for a board to stretch your paper on ? Also how do ye stop the paper from buckling when ye spray it down with the water ? Thanks ... beautiful work :)
It's just a piece of grey plastic board. Anything sort of thick will work. Just taping all the edges down keeps the paper flat
@@SarahBurnsStudio Thank you :)
Not that it matters, but: First! 😂
Is frosted sheep available?
Never mind. I see it’s already snatched up!
Yes it went super quick! I ended up adding prints of it though 😊
