I love painting from life! Sitting outside in the park and painting or drawing what’s in front of me is my absolute favourite thing to do in the summer
@@melissamartinart That's great! I would like to do more of it. I have tried a little with pencils or other dry things, but I found it complicated with paint (and trying to film a little too). Tricky!
Yes, I do all my sketching from life. It has a very different quality from painting done later from a photograph. I especially like "urban sketching" when I travel as a way to capture my memories. BTW your sketches turned out so well
Yes! I love painting from life and love being outside. Painting in the studio is great, but painting outside and from life is such an incredible experience - I think it teaches you more about depth and colour too. Always best on days that are not too freezing or hot though (and no flies or mossies here in Aust would be ideal😂😂) xxx
The atmosphere of the Scottish Highlands is simply enchanting, even despite the challenging weather conditions! Your video beautifully captures the breathtaking landscapes and the incredible beauty of the region. It's amazing how the rugged coastlines and dramatic skies continue to inspire creativity. Sarah Burns is an extraordinary guide in such picturesque locations. I’m thrilled that you had the opportunity to experience plein air painting in Scotland - it's truly captivating and unforgettable!
Wow how absolutely cool! I think taking classes in unique places really helps us to remember things and probably heightens our awareness even at the time. So great! Your paintings turned out beautifully - expressive and energetic! I'm super excited to watch your next Scotland video too - such gorgeous country up that way, from what I see in photographs, anyway. I think its really great you got to do a workshop while traveling abroad... i need to look into that sort of thing!
Thank you so much, Brian! I get so much inspiration from traveling, and Scotland is truly gorgeous. I have a lot of photo and video references that I think will continue to inspire me -- but I think you're right that being there in person heightens everything. The quick and faint paddle-boarders, for example... the sketch is mere scribbles (they kept moving! ha ha), but it takes me back to the wind and the mist and the laughter when I look at it. My husband and I had been wanting to take a vacation to Scotland, and then I saw Sarah's workshop, and it worked out great to build a trip around it. 😃
Wow you captured the energy and atmosphere of the weekend so well. It was a really fun group and we even had a day of sun! I'm so happy you came. I loved your enthusiasm and energy. It looks like you had an amazing two weeks here with a wide variety of weather. I hope it was wonderful 😄
Thank you, Sarah! I really loved your workshop! Scotland was incredible -- my husband and I traveled all over amazed at the beauty, and the people were so nice and welcoming too.
Hey Marcy, what a fantastic video, and art trip.. so inspirational, and your paintings really did turn out lovely, it’s always a challenge painting outside, but the more you do the better you get,. Really loved the colours you used for your beach painting and the sea. Great video really well put together. Looks like you had a great time 😊 Johnny b
Thank you so much, Johnny! It was a really great experience. Loved Scotland! It was my first time in the UK, and I will have to get back to visit England some day 😃
🩷 This was excellent! Thankyou so much for sharing this with us. I would love to do a workshop with Sarah in Scotland one day. Painting outside takes a little practice (and to not be shy in front of others also takes practice). Well done. 👏xxx
Marcy, this was incredible! I can’t wait to see the Scotland travel vlog in full, what a beautiful teaser this was! Your paintings and sketches look amazing, that workshop with Sarah Burns must have been so fun. What a special experience😁so excited for you!!!
Thanks so much, Deb! It was an incredible experience, and I am still letting it all sink in. The vacation alone was fantastic -- my husband and I had always dreamed of visiting Scotland -- and then to attend Sarah's art workshop as well was so great😃. LOTS of video footage and reference photos, too, so I feel like I will keep getting inspired from it all.
Do you like painting from life? I would love to hear your thoughts or questions. 😃

@@mistikomakes Thank you! I usually use photo references, but I really enjoyed painting on location -- much more immersive, but more challenging too.

What an amazing experience Marci 😍 can't wait to see the rest part of your vlog from Scotland!

Cool, I just got back from two weeks in the UK too. My trip was to the south of England, and I took a whole load of workshops
Oh, how great! It was my first time in the UK. I definitely want to go back!
Wow, this made me want to go back to Scotland. Beautiful! And it was cool that you were able to take a workshop.
