Hands-Free WATERCOLOR Plein Air Setup ✶ SCOTLAND COASTAL ADVENTURE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2024
- Let's go to the coast! In this video I take you along on my first big plein air adventure of 2021 to paint crashing waves at one of my favorite coastal spots. I will show you how I use my new Portable Painter, a clever little hands-free watercolor kit, while demonstrating two seascape paintings. Along the way I'll offer thoughts about the Portable Painter, and plein air watercolor.
Edit 1: Portable Painter sent me a replacement palette. Now THAT'S great customer service!!
Edit 2: As of 2023 I am now a Portable Painter brand ambassador!

I'm using a Silver Black Velvet Brush and these are my colors: fearlessbrush.com/2021/04/17/the-portable-painter-in-action-a-hands-free-watercolor-kit/
Fantastic video thanks for sharing,
I have never related to a TH-camr more than when you stood up panicking about ticks haha!
Haha oh god 🤣 it's the worst!! And believe it or not yesterday during a patreon stream, in my studio, a tick was crawling on my hand!!! I could not believe it...I have no idea where it came from except maybe my cats, but it was horrifying 😱😭 I felt cursed by tick demons
Thank you for making these plein air videos. I really enjoy them. They are inspiring to watch. It's like travelling without leaving home.
Awesome!
You inspired me to make several of these diy sketchbooks, I love that I can use the paper i want and best of all it's helped me over my fear of messing up a painting in a sketchbook. If it's too bad, I can just remove it! Thank Sarah for these videos, you have become my biggest inspiration and best tutor!
That's awesome!! Mine is just about full..I think I'm going to make another one soon but try a different binding! I've never been good at sewing though lol

Love your plein aire painting adventures! Here’s a bucket list item for me- go to Scotland, find Sarah, knock on her door, ask her if I can go with her on her next plein aire journey, bribe her by telling her I will inspect area for ticks before she sits somewhere to paint, sit quietly and paint alongside the master! Thank you for these videos and all the work you put into them!
LOL! I have a better idea: Sarah plans a plein air adventure, everyone meets up for three days of painting at beautiful locations, drinking whiskey and wine, eating fresh foods, painting our hearts out 😁
I’m in, Sarah!
Ugh, ticks. They really are the bane of many NJ plein air painting locations. Tiny ones= Lyme Disease carriers!
Never knew they existed in Scotland. Hopefully not any sort of disease carriers .
Safe and painting! I love all you do to help your admirers/fans. You are wonderful.
I also find that the Portable Painter fits nicely around the arm of my living room armchair for lazy evening painting!😀 And is handy for painting in the car.
Ohh nice idea!! I am sure I'll have some living room painting soon 😁
My favorite videos is watching you paint outside. I'm having health problems that make me exhausted all the time. But watching these makes it feel like we're out there with you and enjoying the wonderful weather, enjoying your craft . Thankyou !
It makes me so happy that you feel like you are there with me :)
Absolutely love this video, the painting, the struggle, and how you manage to juggle everything to give such an honest and valuable portrayal of your day. By th way I love the portable painter palettes, thank you so much for introducing them ❤❤
Fantastic review, the Portable painter looks really useful. That aside, your videography is excellent !! Love the drone shots and the painting demos are great. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love seeing you do plein air paintings and the views in Scotland - both are so beautiful 😍
Thank you! This place in particular is so breathtaking 😍
that second painting has such great water.. you can feel the wind blowing when you look at it!
That was definitely a fun painting!
I really like watching plein air painting. You give good hints and just the fact that you reinforce the fact that this style of painting is to have fun & enjoy not just in painting a masterpiece. So thanks for taking the time to record this.
Glad it was helpful!
LOVIN the production details. Looks & Sounds like the opening theme to a Hollywood adventure movie!
Ah, the ticks! Blood-sucking insects are the joy of Scotland! Doesn't help if you are sitting on the ground, but in general, I wrap duck tape sticky-side out around my ankles to stop the ticks coming up my legs. Midges are a whole other thing, but midge repellant made from bog myrtle works reasonably.
Yep I’m definitely learning about all the beasties as I go 🥲
I love the landscapes of Scotland that you feature in your videos.. and your artworks are amazing 👏🏼
Thank you so much 😀
Love the video, as usual! I have a portable painter and really enjoy the design. I noticed you tucked the clip under the band during use. The metal clip actually fits perfectly ON the band for storage during use. It took me awhile to figure that out :) Just stretch the band a bit and push the clip on- then put the band on the water container.
Oh thank you!
Singing in the car - I sub immediately! 😊 No, not only that, I like hearing you talk about how and why you paint and do what you do!
Haha! Thank you!
Your life is beautiful, nature, art, what else a human being needs for happiness?
Sharing happiness makes it real 💜
For the first time in my life I’m wishing for more thumbs, even to be all thumbs!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 How I love your willingness to take us along! You’ve made this girl’s day, over and over again!!! Thank you so much Sarah!
You're the best!
Es primera vez que veo a un artista incorporar en sus vídeos la búsqueda del lugar que va a pintar. Mostrar esos cautivadores y hermosos paisajes es maravilloso. Eres muy talentosa y agradable. Te felicito bella niña!....me suscribo a tu canal. Greetings from Punta Arenas-Chile.
I know this is 2 years late. But. You've done more than a "sketch" here, I think. There's a nicely executed breaking wave as a focal point, beautiful light and shadow in the sea and the rocks and interesting variegated colors everywhere. All it seems to need is some definition/color in the sky and it's a frame-worthy painting. Also useful to know how the Portable Painter works 'in the field'.
I would love to see you do plein air paintings of various Outlander locations!! I would be so jealous! Hoping to visit Scotland in the next year or so!
Haha that's a cool idea! I used to live in Inverness so I could have more easily done that.
I LOVE your videos! I am grateful that they are long enough to really see what is happening. Your voice is beautiful and relaxed even more of a skill knowing how anxious you are what recording. I am not familiar with Scotland so that is really a treat. I am a very old professional artist and now that I rarely venture outside, I am so grateful that I found you creative work!
Hello and welcome! So glad you like them! I love sharing the beauty of Scotland and connecting with other artists :)
I'm living out my fantasy fairy tale life through your music choices
Haha I'm glad I can help :)
I have Scottish ancestry and think it would be fun to visit Scotland, so I appreciate seeing some of the scenery there. Sometimes I follow Scots Willdcamper they go backpacking around Scotland. These days I doubt I will ever make it. Guess I'll have to settle for the CA coast, it looks very similar with the rocky bits out in the water.
Edit: Oooohhhh I really love the second painting. colors are just stunning
Thank you!! I will definitely check out Scots Willdcamper - thanks for the recommendation!
Your videos get better and better! They must take you so long to edit! I'm a YTuber so I know. But it's really worth it for us viewers! Thank you! Brilliant painting too! 🙂
Thank you so much!! Yes they take quite an effort to edit, but I have discovered a passion for editing/video storytelling. I have to take lots of little breaks because of wrist pain, so I schedule my days in chunks, which helps a lot. Bwt, your art is beautiful! I never seemed to get along with pastel but I find it fascinating.
@@SarahBurnsStudio Thank you! I can't get along with paint and a brush. But I need to resubscribe to your Patreon again and get to grips with gouache! I see from your video you learned to drive on the other side of the road. I'm from the UK and came to the US and did it the other way around!
@@ruthballardart4115 Yea, that takes a lot of practice doesn't it! But now when I see videos of people driving on the opposite side, I'm like THAT LOOKS SO WEIRD!!
Beautiful, I could watch you paint for hours.💕I love your panoramic views and also the music you choose is spot on.
Your joy and excitement at being back to the coast is so genuine! I was in awe of the wonderful drone footage, just breathtaking! Your art, commentary, and the work you put into your video is much appreciated! Thankyou🙂 (also, I share your feeling regarding ticks, echhhh!)
Thank you so much!! I thought I went a little overboard with the drone this time, but I was SO excited for my first big plein air adventure of the year, and felt it deserved celebration!!
@@SarahBurnsStudio did you film from a drone yourself? That was an awesome addition to the outing! So beautiful! Thank you! I never have heard of the hook on leg rig! Pilots use something similar.
@@sharonmcmichael4690 yes I use my drone in a lot of my videos 😄
@@SarahBurnsStudio very nice addition to our enjoyment! So professionally done!
I’ve been off work due to disability-and it’s gotten pretty bad-but watching your video has inspired me to get my paints out-Thankyou-beautiful video!
Take it slow, enjoy it and let nature help your mind :)
Thanks for sharing your joy in this day. Your paintings capture the beauty of the spot wonderfully.
Thanks for joining me 😄
I really appreciate the time & effort put into your videos - it has allowed me the privilege of learning how do watercolor painting - at my time & convenience! Your effort is my treasure!!! - thank you so much 🙏
I just purchased this portable painter for painting outside. We are going on a trip to Cape Breton in Nova Scotia Canada. It has similarities in landscape to Scotland. I’m new to watercolor since October 2020. I love it.
Such a beautiful area…I see why you love going there, and painting there. Thank you for sharing.😊
Everything is so wow!
Beautiful work!
Great! Love your watercolor paintings
So very helpful on many levels.
Thank you for the review of the portable painter! Because of it I asked my husband to get me one for my birthday and he did! So I had to get back to you and tell you what a good promotion job you did. I really, really enjoy it, no more problem sitting in the car painting and worrying about spilling water all over. I mixed Gouache and watercolour in my palette, I use the limited plein air gouache palette you showed some time ago in a video ( so versatile and paints I never would have thought would work so well together, thanks!) in the upper row and some of my " must have" plein air watercolour paints in the second row, it actually works out very well. Next time I come to Scotland to visit my dear friend ,who is lucky enough to live there, I will ask her to take me to the coast so I can have a go at painting waves and cliffs too! I live in rural Sweden and here there is no sea and no cliffs, just lakes and forests, nice but not dramatic;-). Thank you again for all the stunning landscapes you let us see and for allowing us to go with you on your great painting journey. You are such an inspiration!!
I'm glad my review helped you! I know the feeling of struggling with supplies, and how GREAT it is once you find something that really works for you. It's a game changer. I wish I was sponsored by them LOL
@@SarahBurnsStudio You are a great ambassador for their products!!
Gorgeous!
Loved going on this sketching adventure with you. Thank you for filming this for us x
I so enjoyed the experience with you!
Love it Sarah. 👍👌
Beautiful!!!
Just seen this. Wow. Painting the sea in watercolour!!! That’s brilliant Sarah.
I remember reviewing the portable painter back when it was still a Kickstarter. Things are better than they used to be. I to.d him that it is too easy to lose the metal lock and I see now they have added a rubber band. He also had half pans that fit inside the slots and they wiggled all over and would come out with the brush. I had to put sticky tack on the back of the pans to hold them in place. My other problem is that I hate half pans. I find it is a good way to ruin my expensive brushes. So I don’t use mine much at all. I think that’s my big drawback. Because I liked the water containers and the ability to rest it on my leg as well. I usually do most of my mixing on the paper so the trays aren’t too big an issue for me. Those were pretty paintings btw. 😁
Fair points! I have been looking at modifications, apparently with a dremel it's easy to grind down the dividers in the mixing area (for a big open mixing area), and even open up the half pan area to full pan or larger wells. I'm intrigued and I might try it, because I love the whole design!
Sarah you are so blessed to be in Scotland.......thanks for sharing!
I agree, I feel so grateful every day :)
Great job, I've enjoyed it a lot.TY
Just got one of the portable painters, can't wait to try it. Love your videos and your art x
Another good one Sarah
Wow, love it. Thanks for sharing
Just Superrrrrr ! Hats off ...
Thank you for your videos...so inspiring! And what a beautiful area!
Thank you Sarah, I really enjoy your videos and awesome talent! I live on the coast too, and love your landscapes/plein air painting.
I enjoyed your video, and look forward to seeing more.😊
Gorgeous 🌸
Always remember... don't wear dark clothes were you might expect ticks. Also, using DEET and/or wearing clothes pre-treated with permethrin can be beneficial in heavily infested areas.
I've never experienced ticks on the coastal rocks before. It was a lesson learned! 😱😱😱
I loved this video, and your paintings. Learned a lot too😊
This is so beautiful, you're so talented 💞
What a wild beautiful place to paint. Thx for a wonderful video!
Oh Sarah, first the drone, music, and editing are gorgeous. Well done. Waiting for CO to decide it’s not winter to get out and paint. Can’t wait. Finally, oh. My. Gosh. TICKS! When I lived in the mountains they totally were a threat and gave me the heeeeeeeebies!!!!! Love watching you paint😍
You never know what could happen when you are painting outside 😅
Magnificent scenery! Beautiful painting too!
I just love watching you paint. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for taking us with you.
Your art works are so beautiful!!! I enjoyed so much watching this video. Super inspiring for me!:)) And this view of the sea and cliffs!😍😍😍 Thank you so much for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Wonderfull painting. BRAVO
Thank you so much for sharing the views of this beautiful scenery. 😊
Lovely paintings.
Very enjoyable video and beautiful painting.. thank you for sharing !!
I enjoyed watching you paint. I like how you used your palette to catch all the colors of the coast. Scotland ought to hire you to promote Scotland. You do a great job showing the world just how beautiful it is.. I need to get out and start painting plien air again.
Thank you so much Robert! Scotland is magnificent...doesn't take much effort to show its beauty
I panic about ticks too😂Beautiful painting👍❤
Beautiful and awesome touch.
Wish you the best.
Glad the kit is working for you! The drone footage is great too/tough to beat that scenery.

Thank you for making the effort to film your painting trips. I’ve learnt a lot along with your videos, how difficult painting en Plein air can be, also how satisfying and the best way to improve. Please keep it up!
What a beautiful and inspiring video! Your talent and enthusiasm shine through! I hope you can continue to share.
Thank you for watching!
👌 Man, these paintings turned out amazing! God bless! 👌❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort for making these videos. I personally haven't tried plein air and I wasn't interested, but I just love watching your videos it's so calming and relaxing.
I loved this video, even the tick drama ( i would be like that to by the way) great to see that you are normal like the rest of us Sarah ! you so lucky to be near the sea !
Thank you for making this video, I'll have a beautiful weekend now. It really set the mood for me. 😊💖
Great to hear 😄
