Thank you Roisin. I'm made the decision to learn how to draw properly and paint with watercolours at the beginning of this year. I have made a habit of carrying a little sketch book with me everywhere. I have watched lots and lots of YT videos on people's sketchbooks but none have inspired me like yours. I love how your book is about your life and how evident your humour and joy is in everything you have done. I hope one day I might be able to produce sketch books as interesting as yours.

Thanks so much for your lovely words Ms Dembones. I am so happy to hear you are starting your journey in this beautiful activity - and I’m honoured to be part of it! Good luck and bon courage! ❤️

What a fabulous sketchbook! It’s SO vibrant and full of life and your narration is very entertaining. I loved the recipes and the goggled blackbird too! And Kinvara and the cliff walk and Bray sea front - you’ve captured them all so evocatively. Love the terrier on his back too…the picture of contentment! Just gorgeous. 👏👏👏😍

What a beautifully-put description! Thank you so much, it really means a lot that you noticed all these things. Are you new to my channel?

Roisin, Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring sketch book….I LOVED the googles on the blackbird…and the idea of shrews eating mushrooms made me smile😊. I have started to do plein air sketch/drawing over the past few months and can feel how different it is from drawing from photos. Even if the subject is a coffee cup in an airport….you look differently and you remember where you were and how you felt….maybe it’s that taking time and observing…I’m loving it.😊….thank you so much for your inspiring videos.

Preach!!! Leigh you’re putting into words so succinctly what I found myself also. I am thrilled you too have discovered the magic of drawing from life - it’s so much more than just drawing, isn’t it? It’s experiencing all the tiny things that make life so full of wonder ❤️🤩🥰

The animals cooking could be a fun cookbook for kids. I have your Dublin sketch book it’s fantastic I absolutely love it. I used to live in Dublin so it was a nice trip down memory lane.

That’s so nice to hear Nik! I did think about a kids’ cookbook but I’d have to make it easier! So I’m thinking more of art playtime for adults at the moment! It makes me very happy to think you’ve enjoyed my Dublin book ❤️

Aw, I could've sat watching that all day! Love all these techniques, and the personalities that shine through. I had a cartoon strip when I lived in the Outer Hebrides... the characters didn't cook, but they played musical instruments! A bit like myself 🤔😄

Got so wrapped up in the fun of the drawings, I forgot that great recipes were to be tried out 😂 not forgetting your personal dictionary.. “sqirrelyness”. I just love it. The indelible picture of your grumpy family at Gatwick😂. I could go on and on. Your drawings are the best.

Thanks a bazillion Marie Louise. I had a blank page that cried out for that drawing at Gatwick. I was also last off the plane (because I hate the crush) and the steps were taped off, only the mobility-impeded lift was there and I said “I don’t think I’m supposed to be here!” - finally got off the plane, cue more furious family tramping towards the exit…

I'd never heard of pygmy shrews until this video
