🎨 Sketching outside with Neocolor II
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- A great sketchbook idea for plein-air beginners or anyone trying to get creative in your sketchbook. I'm using Caran d'Ache Neocolor II water soluble wax pastels in a minimal outdoor sketching kit. Sketch along with me as I complete a few pages of my Moleskine sketchbook, and try painting outside while filming for the first time.
I had a lot of fun with this and I hope you enjoy watching the full process.

You had a lot of great advice today Heather and I enjoyed being outside with you! I’m only halfway through your video right now but I wanted to tell you that you did a great job with your first piece. Trying to create something out of that view of trees and branches didn’t look easy to me, yet you made it look very interesting and detailed. It was even prettier and better than the real life scene! ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it! And glad you enjoyed being outside with me! ❤️😊👍
Such a fun video! I love watching you use your neocolors. I get overwhelmed with the detail outdoors. You did great on these sketches!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! It definitely took a while of looking at the areas before I started sketching. I think blocking out the background was helpful. There was way too much detail in the backgrounds. 😊👍
My OCD was SCREAMING when u went to break them! 😮😂
I’m so sorry! I’m glad I sped up the footage. 😅👍
@@artbyheather 😜
This is so good, I love my neocolours ☺☺
Thanks! The Neocolors are so much fun! 😊👍
I draw outside AND in the car all the time (road trips) and I did something similar with my crayons in a tin the same size. (although mine fitted lol, so no breaking) I also took out the similar colours too. It's so much fun and love what you did! ❤️
How did you film? Gopro strapped in?
No GoPro. Just hugged up to a tripod. I think finding even ground was the hardest part.😅 That’s nice that you didn’t have to break yours! I should definitely try sketching in the car on my upcoming trip! 😊👍
I'm feeling nervous for you in the breaking! LOL!
😅👍 You and me both!
Loved this video. It looked very difficult to stand and draw with the book in your hand - no idea how you were doing the camera as well. Thank you. I loved the sketches too.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! I basically had to hug my tripod while sketching. 😅 it was challenging but in a fun sort of way. 😊👍
Boss Ross tin is a nifty idea.
Being outside in nature is always a good thing, no matter your industry.
Thanks for sharing, and you always seem like you’re having so much fun. 😊
Now I can carry Bob with me! I love it! Thanks for watching! ❤️😊👍
I know lots of artists break their Neo 2’s but I couldn’t break mine , so I bought a smaller tin of Neo 2’s to take with me. If I know what I plan on doing outside, I can always swap some colors around. I found a tiny Bob Ross mint tin that I use and it is the perfect size for my kneaded eraser. I love your art!
That’s great! I definitely get not wanting to break them! I would probably do the same if I already had a smaller set. Thanks for watching! ❤️😊👍
This was great. I have that same tin and can’t get rid of it either!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s such a cute tin! I’m so happy I figured out a good way to use it! Now I can take Bob with me to sketch happy little trees! ❤️😊👍
girl, what do you mean?! they turned out amazing!!! I love painting and drawing outside too, it's so fun!
also with the tin thing, I totally agree. I have so many little tins saved to put watercolours and pens in. the log drawing is my favourite btw❤
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked them! The woodpile was the most fun! I think I was feeling a little insecure that day. Thanks for your kind words! ❤️😊👍
@@artbyheather I totally understand the insecurity! I feel you on filming outside too, it adds so much pressure, but just drawing is totally fine for me! love your videos, I hope you have a lovely day:)
Love your style!!!!!
Thank you so much! 😊👍
Merci ❤❤❤ j'adore dessiner à l'extérieur et pour m'entraîner je dessine tout ce que je croise en ville ou en bord de mer, c'est la meilleure façon pour progresser 😀!
I agree! It’s so fun and great practice! I’ll definitely be doing more sketching outside. Thanks for watching! ❤️😊👍
Oh wow Heather, this was such an awesome video and was so wonderful to watch this morning. You have such an incredible way of sharing your artwork and style well talking about it either before or after. You make Art feel so approachable and possible. I love your honesty and talking about how it is really not easy to do this and yet you made it happen, including talking about others who film their plein air work and giving credit to them. I really appreciate all that you do and say. Not sure if you could hear me while watching your video.😂😂 wondering where you are going on your trip. Whatever it is you do, I hope it is awesome and I’m sure you will figure out getting in your art time. I love the tin of neocolors as well, you were very brave breaking them on video 😂. I love the idea of having the small paper towel and brush under the elastic in your sketchbook, I’m always scrambling when I try to go somewhere with a “few things”, really appreciate your showing us how it is a possibility. Really looking forward to your upcoming video of two minute bird sketches, I am a big fan of birds.❤❤
Thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I like sharing my experiences. The good and the bad. Sometimes art can feel intimidating and I’m happy to show the doable side. I love the new mini travel setup. I’ve already been putting it to good use! Thank you so much for your kind words! More to come! ❤️😊👍
This is so impressive! Absolutely gorgeous! And no bugs landed on you. If I was doing this, and a bug landed on me or the paper, my neo’s would have gone flying! Excellent job! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! A few gnats wanted to land in my eyeballs, but I was surprised the bugs weren’t a nuisance. Bees love hitting me in the face or flying past my ear, so the Neocolors would have definitely gone flying! ❤️🤣👍
Thank you for this idea! I have the same mints and a few neocolors I was hesitant to use
You’re very welcome! I hope you enjoy using them! 😊👍
I intentionally snap my neocolors too so I can take more colors out in a small container. Plus, it just removes the anticipation of them accidentally breaking (and they do!) and sometimes makes them easier to scribble with. I love going plein air with my art. Such a fun video!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I love having the probable minis! And you’re right, they snap so easily anyway. ❤️😊👍
Use a clip to hold your tin. Love your videos! I got myself a 40 CT set of Neo 2s after finding your channel!
Oh! I’ll have to try that! Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy the videos! Are you enjoying the Neocolors? ❤️😊👍
I love my Neo 2s. My first love was crayons when I was 5. I fell in love with watercolors as an adult and sold a bunch. Now, as a crotchety old lady, I'm learning colored pencils and other media, but I'm really enjoying my crayons. I first watched a 2 minute session. I absolutely LOVED those. I started using my sketchbooks (19) with a whole new attitude. Thank you so much.😊
That’s so good to hear!! I was big into crayons as a kid too. Never really got into drawing, but I love coloring and painting. I definitely feel like they are the best of both worlds. You’re very welcome! More to come!
Liking these sketches. ❤🇦🇺
Thanks for watching! ❤️😊👍
No breaking for me 😊. I love your channel exploring the use of neocolor Thank you 😊. The eye video was great 👍
I totally get not breaking them! 😅 Thanks for watching! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos! I’ll have to do another one like the eyes video soon. ❤️😊👍
Tin out of tin. Would tin again.
For sure!! 🤣👍
Beautiful setting to sketch in!! 🌳 Being in nature can be so calming!! 😍 I'm glad you found your Neocolor IIs helpful! 🥰 It would have been sad if you broke them and then were frustrated by them!! 😮 I would be careful about leaving them that way in a bag in a hot vehicle. They might be a cool art piece when you go to use them... 🌈😅
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! That would have been terrible if I didn’t like using them small. I think because a few had already broke, I wasn’t too worried about it.
Oh Yes! The melting is real. I should have expressed that more in the video. I tried using them in the hot sun a few weeks ago and they get very melty. 😅 I won’t be leaving them in a hot place for sure. Thanks for saying that! ❤️😊👍
Thank you for mentioning that about not leaving them in a warm area, I might not have thought about that otherwise. On the other hand, I’m sure it would make for a really “cool” art piece.😂😂
@@artbyheather You're very welcome!! 🤗😍 Enjoy the Neocolor IIs in two ways now!!🌈😍
@@suzyhomemaker6240 Yes, very cool sculpture!! 😎 🌈😂
It would be like those rainbow multicolored pencils in the shape of a tin. 🤣
I just bought tins also but do have to break mine in half to fit also. I have not broken mine just to put in tins either lol
Beautiful🎉 artwork! I just bought a Bob Ross tin.
Thank you so much! What a coincidence! 😊👍
@@artbyheather I know. I watched another artists video and she was gifted the tin. I purchased mine on Amazon.
Oh I see! It’s such a cute tin! I love that it comes with “happy little tree” mints! They don’t taste great, but super cute! 🥰
@@artbyheather I don’t like to waste things so I’m sure I’ll eat the mints to get to the tin😂
🤣👍
I wish I had the confidence to do videos of me sketching and painting. How do you get passed this to do this. I enjoy your videos
It just takes time and practice. I think having fun and enjoying whatever you do is the key. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos! 😊👍
Aaaahhhhh..... It hurts!!! I can feel everyone!!!!!
🤣 I’m sorry.. I tried to rip the bandaid off quickly.
Thanks for taking us along on your practice. The only part of sketching in public that I wouldn't like is curious people that want to come stand over your shoulder...so maybe the camera/filming situation would keep them from approaching?
I agree. I’ve never had anyone standing over my shoulder before and that does worry me a little too. I almost think the camera might make what I’m doing look more important. So it might attract curious eyes. It’s an interesting experiment I’ll have to test it out… once I’m not too scared. 😂👍
What kind of set up do you use to record outside?
I’m just using a tripod. Nothing fancy. 😊👍
Instead of vandalising your neocolours why not purchase a small tin of neocolours.
It did feel like a criminal act to break them. 😂 I like to use what I have. I don’t feel like they are unusable just because they are shorter now. I’m really glad I made a mini set out of them. It’s been very useful! Thanks for watching! 😊👍
