I had the biggest grin watching you and Sarah - you are two such beautiful souls 🥰
Awww! Thank you!
Amazing footage and art works by Urbanites!😂 I would choice watercolor( a mix of DS, Sennelier and QoR) and pens. Glad you had a fun time with Sarah and group! 🥰🤩💜🤘🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for the tips & for watching !!
So much beautiful art. It looks like a fun day. Thanks for taking us along with you!
Thanks for watching x
What a wonderful day with like minded people and so lovely to see you and Sarah together..I love both your channels ..beautiful art from all of you ❤😊
I’m amazed you made such a lovely vlog with all the clips you took! I thought for sure we created madness 😂 but it was so much fun!!!
And your sketches were so fab!
Thank you so much Sarah! I had such a lovely time lol as you predicted it was a lot of videos of either laughing or figuring out the camera :D but a wonderful glimpse into an awesome day nonetheless x
Thank youuu x
Sarah, your workshop had to be so lovely, how jealuse I am!! I would like to ask you if you could share the name/IG of the artist who shows her sketchbook at 10:08? I love those landscape. Thank you!!
What a great time. I love it when at the end everyone lays down their work side by side.
Me too x
Ball point pen + Watercolor👩🏼🎨 and outdoors in the cold is tricky but fun heating handwarmer🔥 and hot drinks ☕🫖
What a great time! I love how the wind was giving its own sketchbook tour 🤩 Watercolor, gouache, and pen and ink are always my go-tos. I've been getting into tinted graphite lately.
Lool I quite enjoyed that too :P ahhh, I haven't used tinted graphite - thank you for sharing x
Oh my god that looks like so much fun 😭😭😭😭😭 I haven’t seen so many humans in a public area not on their phone since before Covid lol
Thank you! It was truly wonderful x
I belong to a local sketching group, and I love the feeling of cameraderie. I love seeing all of you having fun together, and the work everyone produced was wonderful! Thanks also for the tips about the magnetic strips to hold the travel paintbox. Very helpful!
Hey….I just met Sarah Burns at the Seattle plein air meetup…….but what is weirder is I just found your channel about 4 days ago and subscribed. So my worlds are colliding. Beautiful art and Sarah is great!! Thank you.
Oh, I really love this video! I, also, Love Sarah!
What a great urban sketching meet-up... beaming smiles all round, irregardless of wind-factor, had me smiling. I love Sarah Burns and I'm working my way through her annual gouache subscriptions boxes... lucky, lucky, me! 😊 I remember your original Tower Bridge sketch, Sketches... I've still got those magic multicolour pencils on my wishlist two years later, haha! All the spreads are beautiful... I so love the fun and laughter when you all do the laydown side-by-side. Very inspiring and love that you are a 'fair weather sketcher'... I feel you! I'm a 'through the car window screen' sketcher for 4-5 months of the year!!! Superb, fun, informative, inspiring Vlog! Loved every second of it! 💕💕
I am fairly new to gouache and I'm loving it. I think I'll probably start using it for Plein air when I get outside more next year. Thank you for sharing your day!
You and Sarah in the same video, thats amazing!!! How did I miss this one?!?!! Love it!
😂😂 I hope that you enjoyed it, it was a lot of fun x
The supply I’ll use sketching outdoors is Tombow brush pens + Caran D’Ache mixing palette + water brush. But I’m curious to buy & try the Koh-i-Noor multicolor pencil like you showed here!
I really enjoy it - a really playful supply. Thank you for watching x x
This vlog is amazing and it makes me smile while watching because of all the laughing people and the good mood of your videos. Thanks to Sarah that I found your channel ❤ and I’m excited to watch all your videos now🎉. Greetings from Germany 🙋🏼♀️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching and your kind words Mell!
Hello! I am one of Sarah’s patreons and I discovered your channel from one of her recent videos that included this meetup. I love your sketch of the buildings and the gorgeous vivid colors! I’m happy to have another great artist to follow. I live in the US and I’m drawn to artists in the UK. I dream of living in Scotland which is how I discovered Sarah. I mainly paint with acrylic and I’m trying to expand into gouache and water color and really love watching videos of people painting with those two mediums. Look forward to getting to know you through your videos! ☺️
I love seeing the variety of styles that come out of group urban sketching sessions. What a fun time!
I think neocolor IIs would be fun! 🖍 I loved the colorful fluff around her hood on her coat!! 🥰 She was so colorful! 🌈 A woman after my own heart!! 💞 Those blue buildings, while very different and striking against the historic buildings around them, are beautiful and artistic!! 💙 I love that you used the multicolor pencils to sketch with! 😍 Where to use them is a challenge for me, but I adore the color combos!! 🤗 That sketch turned out stunning! 📚 You all created awesome and unique art pieces!! 🎨 How fun, and thank you for sharing scenes of London!! 🫂
I really like watercolour pencils, crayons and anything that’s water soluble to sketch with.
Thanks for the vlog. Looks like it was a fab time. ❤
Thank you for watching! It really was x
Wow, what fun to tag along (via TH-cam) on your adventure. Thank you for sharing this!🙂
Such fun to see the two of you together, laughing, having fun, and freezing. I don't often do plein air or urban sketching but when I do I enjoy using two small palettes from two different creators on Etsy, ArtstoEmbers (with Daniel Smith WCs) and StaceyRomanArt (for my A Gallo WCs). I usually use these as my travel palettes also. Thanks for sharing.
That looks like such a fun day - thanks for letting us (TH-cam) tag along 😊 i always bring far too much with me if I go outside to sketch, but ink and maybe watercolour is usually what I end up using 😊
Never watched you before and that was fun ! You made me laugh and on a Friday night after a busy week that was needed 🤗
Awww! Thank you so much for watching and your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed it - here's to even more laughter and an awesome weekend x x
ohhh I have my Roman Szmal travel palette that I love to use! Urban sketching kit + a few other RS colors + a gold. Loved watching you and Sarah!
So fun to see you and Sara too. Nice sketches by all
Thank you! 💙
The whole group is SO CUTE! All the laughter and the Ooohs and Aaaahs! Great sketches! Thank you!
I love watching Sarah and your paintings! Ty for making this vr.
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words x
Pentel Aquash Brushes are an absolute must for me now when painting in location
I enjoyed this so much, and perhaps it's no surprise but what made me really laugh was the clips of you and Sarah just laughing into the camera for no apparent reason. 😂
Yes, fellow overpacker here. I'm still bringing my entire etchr field case with watercolors and such even though I've only been using a single pen and tiny sketchbook... That's not even in the field case. 😅
Here it's the opposite... It gets hotter and hotter the longer you sketch. 😅
Also love that dreamy, pastel, rained on painting that she did. I could have sworn the rain made it better! 😂
Great video, always nice to see your uploads.!
Please give the other artists some credit as well. They deserve it like any other more famous ones.
Thank you!
How lovely to join you and Sarah and the fun you had. I feel so inspired to go out to sketch, but, its cold!!!!! Thank you for including us.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching x
Love all of the different styles! My go to supplies for on location sketching are an ArtToolkit demi palette, water brush, mechanical pencil, and waterproof fountain pen. I’m practicing laying down sketches in pen first though so I can just nix the pencil.
I think my favorite sketching “tool” was the dance, with the laughter a close second! 💃🏻😂💃🏻
😂😂😂 x
Good choice! xx
This looks like so much fun! ❤
I joined an urban sketching group in our area and love it. My current favourite items are ink pens and watercolour. I love to see at the end how everyone’s looks so different and learn so much
That is awesome! :D I totally agree. Hope you and your loved ones are well x
I admire your ability to draw and paint buildings with such ease. I'm trying to get better at it myself. I just love your painting style 💜
I've been following Sarah Burns two TH-cam channels for several years now. It's because of her post about your video on her Instagram that led me here. OMG, Sarah got to draw a portion of Shakespeare Globe Theater! That's so cool! There are so many awesome sketchers represented here. i am now a Subscriber to Sketches.n.Scrubs. I cant wait to see more of your content 😊
A wonderful day out with your friends and the bridge itself is a very inspiring location for a beautiful artwork. Mrs. Burns's paintings have really improved, they are very impressive, like the other sketchbooks too. Thanks for upload, pretty hair lady😊😊
This is so inspiring! ❤
Aww what a fun day 💓 great vlog
Thank you 🤗 xx
Such a fun urban sketching vlog I’ve been experimenting with a 32 landscape palette of Copic markers this month and would use those! hi Sarah!
Such a fun video! Loved seeing everyone’s sketchbook art! Hmm.. I’d love to try using a fountain pen with either sepia or black ink outdoors. Then painting it with watercolors. New subbie to your channel! Love your videos! 💜🥰
Thank you so much for watching & subbing Sasha! And I agree, sepia would be lovely too x
Kremer watercolours or Shinhan Pass. Loved this video especially the bit where you discuss your set up, as it gave me for the first time an idea of what might be useful for me. I have watched a lot about Urban Sketching but am in a wheelchair and haven’t got a great lap! I have watched Teoh for quite some years, especially during a period of being bedbound, when acquiring supplies kept me connected to art, so now I am trying to use what I have! My views at home are not great unless I am in the garden, this year has been sooooooo cold and rainy! So urban sketching is calling me again. I think you may have been using a fude pen if so it’s my favourite! I have two and recently saw them in pink white and brown and like the idea of carrying them with different colour inks.
Great video with lots to think about, including Sarah’s work on toned paper, really lovely, and your other sketchers.
What a wonderful day with like minded people and so lovely to see you and Sarah together..I love both your channels ..beautiful art from all of you ❤😊..I was gifted the Roman Szmall urban palette for my birthday last year but haven’t plucked up the nerve to try painting in public or outside 😂🫣
Love this video!,, nice work everyone 😊,greetings from Mexico
I limit myself outdoors extremely. Usually just a pencil, maybe two brush pens. I tried dried gouache once but it's just too much hassle, especially if I am alone. Small hardcover sketchbook, preferably not bright white paper.
It was fun watching Sarah's video and going like "hang on, I know that girl" 😂
Loved this.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I would love to use a combination of my Watercolors, Gouache, & a Black Ink Fountain Pen. Looks like you all had a blast & wonderful day together. So thrilled to see both of my favorite gouache artists get together for a Plein Air adventure! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!
I love it! It looks like so much fun! I wish I could have made the one in Seattle, but hopefully there will be other opportunities. 😊
Great video, what fun! Lovely to see my old hometown❤, your sketches are remarkable, and your colour choices are to die for. so good to see this meeting of like-minded people. All are fabulous in their own right. If I did do urban sketching, which I don't 😅 chances are I would take a suitcase full of just in case supplies 😅❤ btw I took some screenshots. Thanks for sharing ❤
Before your next sketching trip to London, make an accordion sketchbook. It is so easy and you can chose the paper. You can make amazing panoramas. Love your videos.
That's a great idea! x
Oh that looked like a lot of fun!! Lately charcoal pencils or an ink pen. Just sketching.
I'm a new subscriber🎉! I heard about you over on Sarah's channel. I'm delighted to have found you and I look forward to following you along with your 🎨 🖌️ art journey 💞!
Aww thank you so much for watching! I hope you enjoy the journey x
that mustve been so much fun! I need that pen your using!
Here it is: amzn.to/4dJElFd
Thanks for watching x
Two of my favorite TH-camrs together! Looks like you had a great time!
Looks like a fun day. Glad you enjoyed yourself 😊
soo many giggles😀 and so much great art from everyone there!
Thanks for sharing! I was the one that left early because I was soon cold. I enjoyed the day out though, and great to see such amazing art work
Thank you for watching! It was so lovely to meet you and I am still impressed by how quick you were, and that it was your first time. I hope you are well x
Lately enjoying charcoal and pastel pencils in Kraft sketchbook. 🙋🏼♀️🌻🇨🇦
Thank you for watching and sharing! ❤️
I love the laughter and everyone’s beautiful art! I’d take a pencil, a fountain pen, and a small watercolor travel palette. 😃🎨♥️
Aww such a fun vlog, you all done some amazing art. 😍😍😍😍
Two of my favourite urban sketch artists! I think my favourite thing to use to sketch outdoors is a pen - micron or a fude. Mx
I love your voice, it’s so soothing ❤
Also, I love Sarah, I’ve been way her for years now
Awww! Thank you x
Looks like fun!!!
It really was! x x
Honestly, I hope I’d be disciplined enough to just bring a couple of uni pens or fountain pens (in case one craps out), my little Cotman travel set and my biggest brush pen. I am not much of an outside sketcher atm, and I find that I get easily overwhelmed and my old, avoidant perfectionist is never far away 😂
Limiting supplies limit my excuses and my tendency towards decision paralysis 😅
What a lovely day you all had!
❤
❤❤
I haven’t yet tried sketching outdoors, but I think I would stick with pencil or water.soluble graphite to start. I want to try plein air sketching with gouache at some point, though!
That's a great idea! Thank you for watching & sharing x
☮️💙🙏
Pencil, since I have not done outdoor sketching yet 😂
This was great. Inspiring. I follow you and would like to look at Sarah's stuff too. Do you have a link for her TH-cam videos?
Thank you! She’s linked in the description - you’ll really enjoy her channel x
WOW were is the phone box with flowers ?
Near St Katherine’s Dock (I think it was called, by the pirate boat ) x
First!
Thank you so much! :D I am so glad you enjoyed it x
@@SketchesnScrubs Always do!
Love from Kuwait 🇰🇼
Can u please tell me what colors are in ur pallette?
Bet the new camera was a pocket 3
It was! ❤️
Im so jealous of all the groups of sketchers i see!!! I have searched for groups in my area and can never find any. Maybe ill start one myself.
P.S. anyone in the chas wv area?
I have the same problem. There’s a group in my area but they seem to only post at super short notice if they bother at all. Often it’s after they’ve been out. If you start your group I would recommend a widely viewable calendar, not one hidden behind Facebook or something. A calendar that can be added to, and with long range events events you may need to cancel , is far better than one where you only put an event up two days before and no one is ever free.
My observation is, urban sketchers are very sociable people. They enjoy getting out of the “isolated “ studio. Just sayin💜💙💚
Very good point :P lol though I think that even though most of us were probably introverts, there's something nice about spending time with other artists from time to time. Thank you for watching Karen x
