This is a long video as I describe in detail each page, as well as all the materials I like to use. Make sure you're sitting comfortably and have a warm drink in hand to go through this sketchbook with me. If you'd like to just see a quick flip through then hop to - 2:50 and the chatty version go to 6:43

I LOVE YOUR WORK IS LOOSE AND EXPRESIVE AND YOU CAN SEE THE DESIGN ELEMENT AND LOVELY USE OF COLOUR

Thankyou!

Lovely video, so nice to see all the drawings and your voice is always so soothing. One thing I’d love to see are some more process videos of you drawing, it’s always so interesting to see how others use their materials ☺️

So talented❤

Best treat to save for Sunday 😊

I would love to see you reach 10k by the end of the year too Mel! I promise to like and comment on every video you upload till then. Love your sketchbook xx

Thankyou that's very kind of you!

Wow❤ so beautiful.

Just watching this triggered memories, my nanna had a tamarisk tree in her garden and hearing you say ‘mizzle’ I’ve never heard that outside of the north east. This has also made me want to re-visit all my Derek Tange books, I’ve never visited Cornwall but it’s always been a dream to ❤

Yes, certainly that's what I think too!

LOOKING AT THE COLOUR PALETTE YOU USE I THINK YOU WOULD ENJOY GRAPHY TINTS AND THERE PAINT BOX SEEING HOW MUCH YOU LOVE TEXTURE

I have lived in Cornwall since I was 14 and I am now 53 and this was beautiful to watch. It just warms my heart how you have captured each drawing … I had to watch this twice as I loved your work so much. I will most definitely buy your calendar Mel, you are such a talented artist. ❤️⭐️🌸

Your art is so beautiful and your videos are a true joy to watch 👌 ❤ I visited Cornwall in September and took so many pictures to use as references for my drawings. Cornwall has such an inspiring landscape; especially the Lizard Peninsula.

Lovely sketchbook pages! I just love your landscapes - they are so whimsical and fun!

thank you so much for sharing. So very lovely and sincere. Enjoyed very much. xx

That was really lovely Mel. Your style has definitely developed since then so that’s fascinating to see. I have the Lyra crayons and really like them and wondered why you switched to Neo colour 2’s?

@MelanieChadwick

3 ай бұрын

I found that I couldn't buy them in in singles and so I switched to Neocolor gradually replacing like for like.

I love sketchbook tours and this is a good one. Probably my favorite is the indoor kitchen at 4:34 but there are too many good ones to choose from. Well done and keep up the great work! :)

Thanks, Mel. Its always interesting to see the development throughout a sketch book. Beautiful work. You've inspired me to give Neo II colours a go and I'm enjoying them so far, although they are messy if you hold them in your hand whilst working. 😂 I have received your 2023 calendar and Godrevy Snowdrop Jug painting and love both. Thank you again.

Hi Melanie, how lovely to find you!! I’m in Cornwall too. This is my embroidery crafting channel. I started a new channel for my art called Kim Thane’s Art channel. I must get back into it but I’ve been so busy painting for the different galleries around cornwall. Subscribed. 😊

Thanks Kim, nice to meet you. Sounds like you're juggling a few creative hats too!

Hi Mel, very absorbing video. Thank you for all your efforts to produce top quality output....your videos are a great balance of art and local interest. I love your work and I'm trying to develop a similar style, although I try to combine watercolour with coloured inks from Diamine. They produce such vibrant saturated images. One thing I'd like to ask; in this video you mentioned several times that you weren't happy with certain pictures. In future could you say why? It would be very interesting. Keep up the great work!

Thankyou! Noted and I will try to, but sometimes it's hard to put a finger on exactly why, and sometimes it can be down to how I feel at the time. I can be a harsh critique of my own work.

Lovely sketchbook. I liked hearing about the experience, but your remembering uneasiness at being out and about is very triggering. Healthy people should never have been quarantined.

Thank you. Yes it is quite shocking to think about it really and the fear that was spread. Sadly I'm sure the repercussions from that time will be felt for years to come.
