I enjoyed every minute of your tour. Loved the boulangerie as well as the animals cooking. Especially the fox 😊. O and the cups in grey. So almost real. I love your style. Thank you for showing.

The pheasants cooking was hilarious. Love it. Spotted the gulls flying over Mc Donald’s, nice touch. I am so inspired by this video and your sketchbook is wow.

You’re very kind Marie Louise! I do find my sketchbook a fab sort of playground where there are zero rules. More cute animals to follow (that I’ve yet to learn how to draw 🤓)

13:13 Hi Roisin! You can use clear gesso on top of acrylics to get the watercolour to stay put. Alternatively, clear watercolour ground might be a good idea. I loved this sketchbook tour!

Thanks! In the end I put a layer of watercolour on top and it worked, probably acted like a watercolour ground. I didn’t want to make my students have to work that out!

Oh my goodness, Róisín! I’ve just recently subscribed so I’ve a ton of catching up to do but… listening to you makes me realize how much I miss my beloved Ireland (and my ex-mother-in-law, also adored, God rest her). So I’ve also decided to go all-in feet first and joined the VIP club, as it were. I’m a beginner so, this should be interesting. But enough about me!! I absolutely LOVED your sketchbook tour and all the stories, SO fun!! I’ve always admired your sketches (I used to want to be an urban sketcher 😆) and these were just, WOW!! Thank you so very much for this and sending love from the snow-covered (yes, expecting 30cm of the white stuff) land that is Pembroke, Ontario 🤗❤️✨☃️🇨🇦🧣💫

Hi, Roisin! Watching this was wonderfully relaxing - thank you! I remembered some of the sketches from your other videos, but I especially love the way your family (I include Reuben, of course!) pop up so often here, and in your other videos. Those illustrated recipes are absolute gems! I paused each one to see them properly and to read the recipes! If all recipe books were such delight, maybe more people would stop being scared of cooking new things. 🤔😊 Reuben's little habit: One of our cats did this and the vet recommended a pheromone spray to use around the house, and it worked. Didn't hurt the cats, didn't mark the walls or furniture, didn't hurt the environment as it was a spray bottle, not an aerosol, but it did cure the problem. Maybe your vet will know if there's something like that which will help Rueben? 😊

@@roisincure I really hope there's one for dogs, and that it works for Reuben, Roisin. If you did a recipe book like that, I think it would sell faster than a takeaway coffee at morning rush hour! I'd buy it, for sure (as long as I hadn't spent all my not-so-spare cash on art supplies, of course. 🤔 😄!) Seriously, though, I'd love to have book like that, especially knowing the level of imagination, creativity and artist's skills involved! 😊

And surfed to your website listened to half a podcast, sorry about Usk. Have you taught at one before? Another artist I follow also was rejected for New Zealand. I'm quite new to urban sketching (in fact to all of it) and like all niche hobbies comes niche friendship groups I can't seem to chip into (must try harder next time). But love your style and will continue to delve into your lovely back catalogue of videos and listen to your podcasts on journeys (thank you).

@@lizlei_art_and_skip yes I’ve taught at two USk symposiums. The Porto one was a dream from start to finish - ten days away grim my domestic duties, the first since I’d become a mother 18 years earlier. Amsterdam was less fun for me for a few reasons. I discovered why they didn’t accept my application, which is fair enough - they like the proposals to be very city-specific. I “dialled” this one in the day before! So I don’t harbour any resentment! 😂

Ah thanks so much Lisa! Yes it’s kinda random alright!

not sure weather or not you'll see this, but I have a question. On the espresso cups image the white dots on the plate on the left, did you use masking liquid or something with a white pigment, and if it's the pigment what did you use. I always struggle to find something opaque white to go over my watercolours. PS - I love your videos, very inspiring!
