This was such a joy to watch, Sophie! You did so well deciding on Tombow markers, I'm such an overpacker when I take art supplies away! Hope you have the BEST trip to Ireland and Scotland!
The gummy green is probably the binder and pigment separation, it's normal and actually happens pretty often - stirring the paint in the tube with a needle or toothpick should fix the problem, sometimes you can also massage the tube, it just depends on how separated it is😊
Yeah, it’s the whole tube unfortunately. I have since mixed it up and squished it around and poured a new pan, but I think I just picked up a dud. It’s okay though, the colour is still super pretty
What a special treat your traveling gang has in store! So fun! Have a lovely trip!!!🥳(And take good care of our sweet friend Sophie on that looooong plane ride💕😜)
Wow! Wish I was going, looks like you are all gonna have SO much fun!!! I can’t wait to see what you fill your sketchbook with!!!! Have a super fun and inspiring trip!!!❤️🎨❤️
I swear you are the best sketchbook salesperson; I always want to buy any sketchbook you show us 😆. I can’t wait to follow along this trip online! If you ever do another one, I would love to join your group!
How exciting!!!! Adore the kits you’ve put together for everyone, such a special idea that filled my heart with artist joy, wish I was going on this trip! Have the best time, safe travels and can’t wait to see you again 😊 🎨
I LOVE the kits you are giving to those attending your art trip to Ireland! Also loved seeing all the art test supplies, giving me so many ideas of things I want to get 😂 I've never used Neocolors but I love the Caran dAche brand so I may want to check those out.
the self-made palettes 😍😍😍 the breaking montage 🤣😂🤣 laughed so hard while twitching every break, didn't laugh like that in a long time (can't even remember, so thank you💛) you are perfectly prepared. your group is the luckiest in the world. and i wish you a wonderful time in Ireland and later in Scotland. you will be missed all the wihle:)
I had suuuuch a nice time watching you talk about your art supplies and honestly I'm so excited for you that I bought myself a Stillman and Birn sketchbook so that I feel like I'm coming along even though I'm not ahah. I hope your trip goes well!! ❤ this was such a lovely video Sophie!! ❤
I hope you have the most wonderful, magical time! So much art time and fun filled magical travels. Can't wait to see the videos and the artwork you do! Safe and happy travel arting. 🌈🎨🍀☘
I love that with this video I don't feel alone bringing lots of art materials to my holiday every year hahaha 😂😍 Can't wait to see a video of you painting in Ireland and Scotland 🤭
It’s so exciting about the trip I’m sure it will be loads of fun but I know that if I was going somewhere I’d most likely save a bunch of extra money to take with me and then hit up whatever art shop I could find to buy art supplies from that country that I wouldn’t be able to get where I live.
I honestly don’t even know what I have in there! A mish mash of colours I’ve collected over the years! I’m not brand loyal, I just choose colours I enjoy 💙
one of my profs at art school cracked a few of my chalk pastels in half when helping me and I had to do everything in my being to not lose it. It was a new set too
Sophie, do you have the watercolor or gouache paints in your palette listed anywhere online? You swatched some colors I think are beautiful and want to know what they are. Thank you!
They are a smoosh of many different brands and I don’t keep track of them. It’s just a bunch of colours I like! I have some Windsor and newton in there, some vintage ones I got second hand, I even have some gouache in there! Sorry I can’t give you anything specific!
Hi Sophie, I love the little notebook you put together to help others find somewhere to start when sketching . I see it’s only for your travel group . Unfortunately I live in US if not I would have definitely tagged along . However I’m so interested in that advice in the booklet . Any way you can have it in pdf for purchase like an ebook style ? ❤
I’m actually putting together a bigger book full of tips and tricks and stuff! I’ve started putting it together but I plan on working on it fully when I get back from my trip :)
The gummy green, is it „green earth“? I have the same issue with earth colors, like green earth and others. Also when there are in a pan, it‘s difficult to activate them. I also make watercolor paints myself and I made green earth and like sienna and they have the same issue. I think it’s just the way the pigments are. I have experienced this with a lot of earth colors (home made and bought)
What is the name the icy blue holbein gouache color at top right? 😍 Also, I may have to add some Winsor and Newton Opera to my collection. 😂 Enjoy your travels!!
Everytime an Australian talks about their Kmart, I get jealous. Your kmarts sound way classier than ours ever were. Sounds like your kmart is akin to our targets🎯 maybe? Do y'all have targets there too?
We do have Target! It feels like they’ve gotten fancier in the past few years. I rarely shop there but they’re quite fun to look around from time to time!
This was such a joy to watch, Sophie! You did so well deciding on Tombow markers, I'm such an overpacker when I take art supplies away! Hope you have the BEST trip to Ireland and Scotland!
Thank you Katie 💖💖💖
It's so lovely that they provided so many sketchbooks for your trip! the alpha is my favourite too 🥰
Isn’t it just the kindest gift ever!? I’m so excited

@@SophieMcPike I've never had a tube of terre vert that didn't do that. I think it's just a feature of the pigment.
I just want to say, those gift bags are so thoughtful and well out together. Very sweet to see.
Aw thank you!! I really wanted to make my travellers feel special x
What a special treat your traveling gang has in store! So fun! Have a lovely trip!!!🥳(And take good care of our sweet friend Sophie on that looooong plane ride💕😜)

How exciting!!!! Adore the kits you’ve put together for everyone, such a special idea that filled my heart with artist joy, wish I was going on this trip! Have the best time, safe travels and can’t wait to see you again 😊 🎨
Also like Stillman and Birn Sbook. I will try the Green one with 270gsm and ivory paper 😍
Hope you have an amazing trip! 😂 I’m definitely an over packer x
I’m looking forward to traveling vicariously with you! Fingers crossed for a Scottish collaboration with Sarah Burns!🤞🏼
Ooooh thank youuu! Ah okay, I’ll look her up!
I got my first Stillman & Birn sketchbook in 2017 and fell in LOVE. The Beta series is my absolute favorite ❤️
They’re soooo good aren’t they!? Just so nice!
@@SophieMcPike they’re perfect! I could never go back!

Hahah!!! Even if I don’t use half of them, the comfort in knowing they’re there feels good!!
The gorgeous swatching 🥰🥰🥰👌 Love it ❤
❤❤❤
for sure going to watch, but first... coffee !!
The correct companion !!
HAVE THE BEST TIME! 🤗💖✨
Thank youuuuuu🌳💚🍀
You should check out jam art factory if you’re in dublin they’ve got prints by loads of different Irish artists
Nice!! I’ll pop it on my list! Thanks
Have a wonderful time!

I will be doing that ALSO! hahahha
Do you have any videos that tell the colors of what you've got in your watercolor palette. Some of them are SO dreamy!
I honestly don’t even know what I have in there! A mish mash of colours I’ve collected over the years! I’m not brand loyal, I just choose colours I enjoy 💙
Also I hope you have Payne's grey and raw umber for Scotland, lol
Sooo much paynes grey hehe
@@SophieMcPike it's the only way , lol
one of my profs at art school cracked a few of my chalk pastels in half when helping me and I had to do everything in my being to not lose it. It was a new set too
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ nooooo not without your permission ☠️
that seems like so much stuff to me!!. I always get anxious at airport security, hope drawing on the plane doesn't make you feel motion sick
haha it is quite a lot for a month away but I feel like my carry on art supplies are quite minimal (for me!) we'll see!!!

Hope you have a nice time!! I did with your video🎉🎉🎉🎉 love it so much!❤❤❤
That’s so nice!!!! Swatching is the best x thank you
I wonder if there is a pencil extender that would fit those Neocolors? Splitting them definitely makes sense for traveling. Have an amazing time.
That’s a really good idea!
there is an extender made just for them, but it ranges from $20-$20 USD, so it's pretty spendy!
@@quinlanelise thanks! I've used an extender for my color pencils and it has definitely been worth it over the years.
Ceramic palette is too cute!!is there anyway people can buy it❤
I have shop updates every so often. So hopefully I’ll be able to do a ceramic update before the end of the year x
It hurts every time you break them😂😂😂
I knooooow!!! Hahah! It hurt my heart too!

That’s really interesting and makes sense!! 🙂↔️🫠🙃
Where can I find info about your upcoming art retreats? I’d love to join one in Europe 😊
I haven’t got anything up atm but watch this space! We’ll see!!!
What is the name the icy blue holbein gouache color at top right? 😍 Also, I may have to add some Winsor and Newton Opera to my collection. 😂 Enjoy your travels!!
It's lovely isn't it? Myosotis Blue G861 in the Holbein gouache traditional colours of japan range :)

How do you get the gouache not to crack out of the palette?
It does crack a bit once it’s fully dry. But that’s okay! It still reactivates and works 💪🏻
thank you🩵🩵🩵
The illustrations on your videos- do you animate them? Where?😍
Also, cant wait to see your retreat video❤
I do!! Either on procreate or photoshop. Some of my older animations are done in TV Paint 🌞
Do you have plain air kits for non travelers in your shop?
No, sorry x cute idea though 🤔
❤
Sophie, it was painful to see you break your crayons, for sure. I know I should break mine for ease of use, BUT…..
