I am enjoying so much seeing the beauty of Scotland through your lens. Your snowdrops are wonderful. I really like the drama of the contrast in the second painting. Thank you for taking us on your walk, Sarah!
Sir Jack is living his best life with you two. Thank you for this video. You give us time to relax, show us beauty where we didn't see it before, and you let us just be...with you....Sir Jack has other plans though, lol. Oh my word! I love that pup! He puts a smile on my face whenever I see him or think of him. Thank you for taking us on another lovely walk. I look forward to your videos every week.
Thank you Julianne! I'm so glad everyone else seems to love Jack as much as we do - we couldn't imagine life without him and his boundless energy and enthusiasm. Sarah x
Your paintings are lovely! I enjoy watching you paint so much! It was a beautiful day for your walk and of course Jack was fun and energetic as always! Love him!❤️ I couldn’t decide which painting I like the most, I love them both!
You and Willie live in such a scenic place. When you go walking it’s like following along as you walk through an idyllic fairytale land - except, it’s real! Beautiful landscapes and your artwork is such a thrill to witness come to life. You could easily be a renowned natural science illustrator/artist.
Thank you Christopher!! That’s so lovely of you to say. We feel very lucky to live close to all these beautiful places, so it’s great to be able to share them with everyone here. Sarah x
I've never seen snowdrops, but when I was a kid in North Dakota in the 50's, I got to see plenty of crocus coming up through the snow in one of the parks.
Stunningly beautiful Sarah. Could almost smell the woodlands and the glass houses. A beautiful episode. Thanks for lending Jack Spaniels for all your episode's. He is just awesome. My grandchildren and I love him. Thank you Sarah and Wills. 🥰🥰🥰
I very much like the painting of the three Snowdrops; I find the black outline is too hard, it might look better to feather/fade it out. Certainly enjoy the scenery and Jack.
I absolutely love your videos.. And the appearances of Jack Spaniels is a bonus, what a happy pup. I love the classic painting the best but like the boldness of the larger painting. See you next week!
You are such a talented painter Sarah. I envy you your snowdrops, we just got another 20 cm of snow, and all my spring flowers are buried and snoozing until May. Sigh…
Thank you Richard! Definitely get out there and find some snowdrops to paint 😀 They were a challenge for me, as they are a white flower on white paper 😅 but very enjoyable 👍 Sarah x
@@shewalksshepaints I think I follow your art page on instagram from my art page, but I do oil paint on old wood, so the colour kind of helps in that regard 😂
Sunshine, flowers, and a rowdy dog ready for Sarah’s walk! Glad the piggies breed is still going, piglets are adorable. Bet it was cold, biting wind, but such abundant signs of Spring….thank you for sharing your outing. Think I drooled like Jack seeing that fine lunch to warm up with. Both paintings are appealing…two different effects, they are a set snd belong together, I like them both equally. Sarah, Jack Spaniels, and Willie have a happy and peaceful week, see ya next time.
Thank you Greg!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. The wee piglets were a surprise but a lovely one. Jack was more interested in the sea and the river though 😀 Thanks for watching and commenting! Sarah x
Sarah, such a delightful episode this week! I am a landscaper by trade and I absolutely loved the walk through the gardens and the wonderful glass greenhouse! You could almost smell the flowers. Willie's music in your films has such a calming effect. Of course Jack Spaniels stole the show, he has such great eyes especially on the beach when he brought the stick! I enjoyed both the paintings, each one gave your eye something unique to view. The close up with the dark shadowing was almost like a photo making the flower pop. The other painting was more natural the shadowing on the petals and the green of the leaves, so life like. Very talented Sarah, thank you for sharing and keep them coming!!
Thank you so much Cassie - your comments really mean a lot to me :) I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos and music. I'm resigned to the fact that Jack will steal the show most of the time - he's too cute not to! Sarah x
Thank you for another gorgeous video, I love that you painted snowdrops, I love seeing them when they come into bloom, I saw some a few weeks ago, and I was hoping it was a sign of warmer weather - then we got a storm 🙄😂 I loved the shading you did on your second painting, it really made it stand out vibrantly. Also - the drone shots are stunning, and I always play a game of 'where's Willie' instead of 'where's Wally' 🤣 but I never do see him, he's awesome at taking shots of you from far and wide and staying out of shot, I imagine him hiding behind trees controlling the drone 🤣 Love to you both and Jack, from Karen and Buster 🐕 in Port Glasgow 🌫💛
Thanks Kazza! I'm so glad you liked the video :) That's a great game to play - he is getting very good at hiding in bushes though. Maybe I should be worried...He might be a bit easier to spot in the next couple of videos, as his camouflage doesn't work nearly so well in the snow....Sarah x
Loved the walk around the gardens, it's my kind of place! I couldn't choose a favourite painting they are both gorgeous! It's wonderful watching Jack, he really is the happiest adorable dog 😃💗 x
Thanks Amanda! It was lovely there - we will have to go back in the summer, as the walled garden looks stunning with all the different flowers. Sarah x
Both are very well done, but if I had to choose, I'd pick the 2nd one. I kinda like the way the darker outlining accentuates the flower. Brings it out better. Safe journeys!! 💖🦴👣🌺
Your photographs, videos, music and the paintings are exquisite. I’m in love with your country and the two of you. Your talents compliments each other’s. What a “Belter “ of a life. Indeed.
Thanks Tina!! It was very cold yes, but beautiful so worth getting outside 😊 plus I always have lots of layers and my trusty bobble hat to keep me warm! Sarah.
These Snow Drop flowers bear a strong likeness to my family favorite, Lily of the Valley. My Momma loved them and had them on the north side of their home. She gave me garters and I now have them all alone the north side of my home also. I have shared these with several of my family and friends but given them a warning that they are very easy to grow and spread fast. My driveway is next to the flowers so that Kees them in check from going north. I give away the ones that venture east and west. 😊 Your walk today was wonderful like always and your paintings were beautiful! Please stay safe and be careful!❤️❤️
Thank you Mary! Your flowers sound wonderful too. My mum is also great at growing plants and flowers, but it didn't seem to pass on to me...maybe that's why I love finding them while out walking so much! Sarah x
All your walks are amazing and all your paintings are stunning. I definitely liked the first one more. Just placed my first order of three of your paintings so very excited to receive them.
Ol' Mr.Spaniels is happily propelling you along! I love him so much! He really enjoys being with you! My dog tips his head like he's trying to understand me, too. He's a mutt, named Harry, adopted from an animal shelter last Summer. Such a loveable goof!!!!
@@rebeccahatcher-kaiser225 Thank you Rebecca! I really appreciate you saying that :) Harry sounds like a great companion too. We like to think that Jack really understands everything we say - he just chooses to ignore us when it doesn't suit him! Sarah x
Wonderful. Jack is such a joy. Looked like a found a stick just to his liking. His enthusiasm is such a treat to watch. Beautiful country. The paintings of course were wonderful. (I can't pick which I like best, nor would I want to.)
You will have me convinced soon that Scotland has brilliant and sparkling sunny days... all the time. Maybe all those authors made up "grey skies, blustery winds, driving rains" to keep Scotland's beauty to the Scots!?! And, of course, in my warm house I don't feel the bite of that wind! Thank you for your artistic views on your walks.
Haha! I do sometimes worry that I am giving a false impression of Scottish weather 🤦♀️ But we do get lucky occasionally and when the weather is good, it is usually really really good. Plus even when it is grey and rainy, it still looks beautiful 😍 (not biased at all…) Sarah x
I want to go there very badly! What a gorgeous place to walk. Access to the beach, woods, nice paths, pigs, and a café. It has everything. I have been wanting to visit Scotland for quite some time but you are showing me all the places I want to visit when I finally get there. It was so much fun! I love both of your paintings, honestly I couldn't pick a favorite. I like both styles equally. Willie's music was beautiful and the videography was amazing as usual. Thanks again!! :-D
You’d be welcome to Scotland any time! I hope you get to visit someday soon. In the meantime, I will keep providing you with inspiration 😀 So glad you enjoyed it! Sarah x
I liked the walk…a bit of structured garden, some wild garden, and then the wild sea! The snowdrop paintings are both lovely…the multiple stems are delicate and pretty, and the single stem against the dark outline is not usual but, a great idea, and very pretty, too. And, I can’t choose one over the other.
Thank you! I loved this walk - had lots of elements to explore. May have to go back in summer, as the walled garden is apparently stunning with lots of different flowers 😍 Sarah x
Thank you Daniel! Fortunately for us, Storm Eunice was a lot milder up here in the north so we didn’t have it too badly. A lot of friends and family in the south were affected but all fine thankfully. Sarah x
Hi Sarah , I always learn something new with your amazing channel, I always thought snowdrops were just one variety of plant , I would never have imagined there were over 300 varieties. And how sneaky 🤣 You chose the snowflake to paint ,can't blame you it's what Willie would call an absolute belter😂 Such a beautiful little flower. I noticed quite a few different snowdrops though and there were some gorgeous double petal varieties too. Of your paintings it was hard to choose but the close up was the winner for me . Love to you all . ❤️😁
Thanks Linda! I think you might be in the majority with that choice. I loved doing both - it's just interesting to see what people like. I never knew there were so many varieties either - I love getting out and learning about these things! Sarah x
Mother Nature starting rebirth. I have snow drops on my front yard. A dog and his stick(s) Love Jack's side eye before you let him off leash. Love the instrumental Willie.
Another very enjoyable video! Your videos are very relaxing and enjoyable and I am looking forward to seeing them each week. The music Willie has done for your channel also complements the video nicely Of course I loved your paintings and I always like your choice of subjects to paint. Keep up the good work!
Beautifully rendered Snowdrops Sarah and musically pleasing accompaniment Willy. Reminded me of "Dear Prudence" towards the end( Souxie and the Banshies vetsion) You both are just Uber talented Love it 😎
Thank you for this lovely springtime walk! We are experiencing the usual February cabin fever here in Vermont, and spring is months away yet. I so look forward to seeing the snowdrops in our woods sometime in late March!
Ah no - I hope the time passes quickly and you get your spring flowers very soon! We know what it's like to be stuck inside with bad weather, so we make the most of every nice day we get :) Sarah x
Beautiful Sarah, I love both of your pictures but the single snowdrop really does stand out.. the uprooted tree and vertical wall of snowdrops was amazing.. x
Scotland and your paintings are very beautiful. Yourself of course and Jacks adorable. Uh oh! I'm allergic to hyacinths! But they are very pretty. I would really love to hear more of the natural sounds (sorry Willie) during the walks. Wind through trees, ocean waves, waterfalls and streams etcetera.
Thank you! Good thing the hyacinths are just on the screen for you then!! I do try and find a balance between natural sounds and music, although sometimes I can’t use the real audio (eg when the wind was so strong on the beach - it would not have been pleasant to listen to!) I’ll keep working on it 😀👍 Sarah x
What do you mean it's not all about Jack?! 😂 Another beautiful walking location and a bonus we get to watch you do two amazing paintings. If I had to choose, I would preference the first one more, but do love them both
Sarah, I love the 2nd one with the dark shadow behind the blossom. I cant paint. I don't have the depth perception, but I love showing my husband your art and it encourages him to try more things. My art is needlework. Stitching and embroidery. I do birds especially. Oh, and I love the music that Willie has made. I cant wait for an album?!
Thanks Mary! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 No plans to release any music at the moment, but we are more than happy to send you some of the tunes via email if you want to listen to them offline! Sarah x
So beautiful, so peaceful and calm. Even Jack. I think you did tire him out. Did you find any sea glass on the beach or shells. And the snow drops are such a sweet reminder that spring is coming. A very nice contrast between the two paintings. Different techniques are fun to experiment with. Thank you. Loved the second one.💗
Thank you Wendy! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 We didn’t see any sea glass on this beach, although it is hard to search for them when Jack is so excited!! Sarah x
Aww! I hope they get to experience a beach romp someday. Happiness is a spaniel let loose at the beach. Or the woods. Or in a river. Or a muddy puddle. Or anything outside or where he can get covered in dirt 🤣 Sarah x
I watch these on my computer & the visuals and colors were very sharp and bright on this episode!---I started to ask if Jack got to keep his stick when I realized it was gone...aww!---I loved both paintings, for different reasons, but the larger one held my attention longer.---The painting music was right on for the 1st, but I turned it down during the 2nd.
Thanks Alana! I really appreciate your feedback 😊 Jack never keeps a stick for long - there’s always something else to distract him. Usually another stick…😅 I’ll keep working on the volumes 👍 Sarah x
I just love Jack!! He’s such a sweetie. Beautiful walk. Love the Tamworth piglets. They were adorable. Lovely little snowflake and snowdrop flowers. I enjoy hearing the nature sounds and the crunch under your feet as you walk. I also don’t mind your narration. Peaceful. Your painting is always so impressive, Sarah! I can’t decide which style I prefer. I think they are beautiful as a collection and should be sold that way. 🥰
@@shewalksshepaints That mama piggy was big! 😅I would have a hard time resisting trying to pet them. 😁 BTW, I wouldn’t mind watching you talking to us about your choice of paints and paper/brushes and a little more about you and Willie. 🥰 Take care, Sarah, and see you next time you turn the camera on!🤗
Thanks Debbie! Although I didn’t realise until I did of research at home that the snowflakes were a different plant! Always learning something new 😊 And just means I get to do some more paintings of snowdrops too 👍 Sarah x
I was surprised when you didn't stop at the toastie shack, but the food at Cambo is great too! Another pair of great paintings. I prefer the composition of the first one, but both are very impressive
@@shewalksshepaints oh its definitely worth a visit. They have the one on Kingsbarns Beach, and there's another at East Sands in St Andrews. Great for a snack after a good walk 😁
They are both beautiful; however, I like the one with the black the best. I had no idea that there are so many different types of Snow Drop plants. Do they grow from seeds or bulbs? I have not seen anything in bloom here this year. It is still about a month until Spring. I hope no one was close when that tree came down. You find such beautiful places to walk. That was interesting about the pigs. I have seen pictures of them in magazines; but, they were not the same as the ones that my Grandfather raised. You have such a good dog. He must be lot of fun to walk. Thank you so much for this very interesting video.
Thanks Arvetta! Snowdrops grow from bulbs and they are usually the first flower to come up in spring. They were quite early this year I believe, but we did have a very mild (but windy!) winter. I’m glad you enjoyed all the features in this video 😊 Sarah x
Another great video. What an absolute amazing place. And not to far from us so definitely added to the list for new walks, so thanks for that. Lovely paintings. Love the feel of the loose one. Ps does Jack ever slow down 🤪 Pps. Love the music Willie made for you 😀👍
Hi Billy! Thanks for your comment. I hope you get a chance to explore Cambo - the gardens look amazing in spring/summer, so we may have to go back again! Sarah
I have painted Jack one yes - as a present for his doting grand-ma! It was a couple of years ago now, when I was just starting to use watercolours, so I'm sure I could do a better job now. Maybe I will have to do another one - those eyes just call out to be painted! Sarah x
Hey Sarah - Another great video!! I prefer the 2nd painting because it seems more dramatic. And, I wonder what kind of training you had to do such beautiful work. Also, what do you do for a living? Are you a full-time artist?
Thank you Marian! I love the second one too - I was worried it would be too dramatic, but I think I got the balance right! I did study art at university for four years, but never did watercolours. So I am finding my own way with this medium at the moment! Up until recently I was working for a historic castle, but I left my job to focus on my creative pursuits. A bit scary but very exciting!! Sarah x
We look forward to Sundays lineup of shows. I recently drug out my paints and brushes that have been packed for over 10 years. All of it was trash. All dried up and moldy, brushes are bent and not good. I need to replace my supplies. Looking at all that is out the is a bit daunting. May I ask what paints, markers and brushes you use. I love the colors and the results you get. Your art work is lovely. Thank you for sharing it with us. 💕
Hi Shanna - thank you so much for your lovely comment! Great that you are feeling inspired to get painting again :) I use a lot of Windsor & Newton watercolour materials - pads of paper, brushes and paints. But the watercolour pens I use are a brand called Dyffle (you can find them on Amazon). I really like them, but they take a while to get used to! Sarah x
The things or the ones that give you the most joy in life are the ones you should concentrate on and that is what Jack Spaniels knows :) , anything else is just noice . And has ment to ask you before, what type is the pens that you use, watercolourpens :) ? And last timestamp 13:28 do you know the name of this variety of snowdrop ? I mean was there anykind of sign around to tell what sort ? It really is a beautiful one =). Thanks again for the walk and paint =)
Hi Solveig! Jack Spaniels has definitely got the key to finding joy & happiness in life! The pens that I use are by a brand called Dyffle. I think Arteza also do a range of watercolour pens, so I will probably try them at some point too. I think that particular type of snowdrop is a double-flowered one (Galanthus Nivalis?). It was amazing to see the underneath of the flowers. Sarah x
Thanks!! The avocado thing is a coaster, which I use to mix/dilute the watercolour pens. It works really well as it has a smooth shiny surface. I mainly use it as it was on my desk for drinks and I had it to hand. I should really get a plain one or a white tile to use 🤦♀️ The avocado design is one of my paintings too 😊 Sarah x
Jack Spaniel found something greater than any treasure - the perfect stick! Thanks for the gorgeous photography and painting Sarah.
Haha! Jack thinks every stick is the perfect stick!
I am enjoying so much seeing the beauty of Scotland through your lens. Your snowdrops are wonderful. I really like the drama of the contrast in the second painting. Thank you for taking us on your walk, Sarah!
Thanks Peggy!! I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos of Scotland. It’s too beautiful to keep to ourselves 😊 Sarah x
Sir Jack is living his best life with you two. Thank you for this video. You give us time to relax, show us beauty where we didn't see it before, and you let us just be...with you....Sir Jack has other plans though, lol. Oh my word! I love that pup! He puts a smile on my face whenever I see him or think of him. Thank you for taking us on another lovely walk. I look forward to your videos every week.
Thank you Julianne! I'm so glad everyone else seems to love Jack as much as we do - we couldn't imagine life without him and his boundless energy and enthusiasm. Sarah x
Brilliant yet again. I always feel that once the Snowdrops are about,we've turned the corner and the weather can only get better.Well done.😀
Exactly Richard! Spring is finally on its way (although someone needs to tell the weather here…😅) Sarah x
Your paintings are lovely! I enjoy watching you paint so much!
It was a beautiful day for your walk and of course Jack was fun and energetic as always! Love him!❤️
I couldn’t decide which painting I like the most, I love them both!
Thank you Kay!! I’m so glad you liked this video. I loved doing both paintings, so glad you appreciate them both 😊 Sarah x
Jack is so precious 💕 he brings me so much joy to watch his total happiness with his mom, dad, the water and always a good stick 🥰🐕💕🙏🇺🇸
You and Willie live in such a scenic place. When you go walking it’s like following along as you walk through an idyllic fairytale land - except, it’s real! Beautiful landscapes and your artwork is such a thrill to witness come to life. You could easily be a renowned natural science illustrator/artist.
Thank you Christopher!! That’s so lovely of you to say. We feel very lucky to live close to all these beautiful places, so it’s great to be able to share them with everyone here. Sarah x
Love both of them! I have them in my garden and it is the flower that always signifies spring is coming to me!
They are stunning flowers! Such a hopeful sign of things to come 😊 Sarah x
I've never seen snowdrops, but when I was a kid in North Dakota in the 50's, I got to see plenty of crocus coming up through the snow in one of the parks.
Love the walks. My favorite is the second one. It pops right off the paper. Thank you for doing these videos.
Thank you Barbara! Glad you liked it - I was afraid it would be too dramatic but I think it worked well 😊 Sarah x
I liked the bigger painting. I think it was prettier thanks for the garden walk
Thanks Teresa! I loved doing them both 😀 Sarah x
Jack playing on the beach looks like the epitome of joy. And all those snow drops (and snow flakes) are gorgeous!
Thanks Shanna! Yes, I think Jack shows us what pure happiness looks like 😅 Sarah x
Stunningly beautiful Sarah. Could almost smell the woodlands and the glass houses. A beautiful episode. Thanks for lending Jack Spaniels for all your episode's. He is just awesome. My grandchildren and I love him. Thank you Sarah and Wills. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Alison!

I didn't know that about the green tips on the end of the snowflake flowers...interesting...thanks...I've learnt something new today! 😊👍💗

Beautiful as always! Love Jack's energy and I kept thinking he and his stick pretty much define hope. I prefer the first painting for it's airiness.
Thank you Barbara! Jack is never happier than running around with a stick (or three) in his mouth. Simple pleasures! Sarah x
I liked the walk…a bit of structured garden, some wild garden, and then the wild sea! The snowdrop paintings are both lovely…the multiple stems are delicate and pretty, and the single stem against the dark outline is not usual but, a great idea, and very pretty, too. And, I can’t choose one over the other.
Thank you! I loved this walk - had lots of elements to explore. May have to go back in summer, as the walled garden is apparently stunning with lots of different flowers 😍 Sarah x
Thanks for sharing the beauty of Scotland & your dazzling talent❣
Thank you Joy! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Just made the end of Sunday for me Sarah. Beautifully filmed video and music. Like both paintings & got to love Jack. Thank you.
Thank you John!! I’m so glad you liked to 😊 Sarah x
Those little piggies are adorable! We still have 4" of snow on the ground. I am aching for the spring melt! I love the second painting!
Ahh - the snow is beautiful too though! And we aren’t quite out of winter yet…just wait and see what next week brings 👀
Love them both equally. Thank you for another spectacular walking adventure!
Thank you Barbara! I have a hard time picking between them too - they were both fun to do! Sarah x
Both paintings are beautifully done, but I really like the first one best! 🤍
Thank you Penny! I think I agree with you but it was very fun doing both 😊 Sarah x
Another awesome adventure! Thank you! 💕💕WV🇺🇸
Thanks Lynette! So glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
It is so nice to see that there isn't any garbage on the beaches. Lovely trip today...
Can't decide on which painting is the best...
It was a beautiful beach!
Absolutely beautiful Sarah. Love them both equally. Thank you and have a lovely week !! 🥰
Thank you Karyn! Sarah x
Your snow drops are beautiful. Both painting captures the flowers.
Thank you Rhonda! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Simple and elegant! Thank you Sarah!
Thank you Robin! Glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
I love both of them equally. Awesome job Sarah.
Thank you Carol! I loved doing them both too 😊 Sarah x
I wouldn't be able to just pick one of your paintings they're all very beautiful thank you for your videos
Thanks Tina!
I hope you and yours made through the Storm Eunice safe and sound.
Thank you Daniel! Fortunately for us, Storm Eunice was a lot milder up here in the north so we didn’t have it too badly. A lot of friends and family in the south were affected but all fine thankfully. Sarah x
Both paintings are beautiful. You have an amazing talent. Thank you all for another brilliant video
Thank you Sylvia! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Hi Sarah , I always learn something new with your amazing channel, I always thought snowdrops were just one variety of plant , I would never have imagined there were over 300 varieties. And how sneaky 🤣 You chose the snowflake to paint ,can't blame you it's what Willie would call an absolute belter😂 Such a beautiful little flower. I noticed quite a few different snowdrops though and there were some gorgeous double petal varieties too. Of your paintings it was hard to choose but the close up was the winner for me . Love to you all . ❤️😁
Thanks Linda! I think you might be in the majority with that choice. I loved doing both - it's just interesting to see what people like. I never knew there were so many varieties either - I love getting out and learning about these things! Sarah x
Mother Nature starting rebirth. I have snow drops on my front yard.
A dog and his stick(s) Love Jack's side eye before you let him off leash.
Love the instrumental Willie.
Me too! He could hardly wait to dash off like a mad thing to the beach!! Lovely to see the signs of spring appearing :) Sarah x
Another very enjoyable video! Your videos are very relaxing and enjoyable and I am looking forward to seeing them each week. The music Willie has done for your channel also complements the video nicely Of course I loved your paintings and I always like your choice of subjects to paint. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Lynn!! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Beautiful day for a walk love the scenery and your paintings enjoyed it very much
Thank you Dawn! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Sarah,
Light and delicate. much harder to capture,
but you did it!
Cheers,
Rik
Thanks Rik! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 Sarah x
Beautifully rendered Snowdrops Sarah and musically pleasing accompaniment Willy. Reminded me of "Dear Prudence" towards the end( Souxie and the Banshies vetsion) You both are just Uber talented Love it 😎
Thanks Travis!! Glad you liked it 😊
thank you for a beautiful channel , i love all your videos , jack is lovely , such a fantastic dog 😀
Thank you Andrew! Jack is wonderful - so enthusiastic and happy 😊 Sarah x
Thank you for painting my most loved flowers .
Love from RINI
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching & commenting 😊 Sarah x
Thank you for this lovely springtime walk! We are experiencing the usual February cabin fever here in Vermont, and spring is months away yet. I so look forward to seeing the snowdrops in our woods sometime in late March!
Ah no - I hope the time passes quickly and you get your spring flowers very soon! We know what it's like to be stuck inside with bad weather, so we make the most of every nice day we get :) Sarah x
i am a watercolor artist too, and i love your first painting. So real you feel like you could pick them.
Thanks Sue! I think I agree but I enjoyed doing both
Beautiful Sarah, I love both of your pictures but the single snowdrop really does stand out.. the uprooted tree and vertical wall of snowdrops was amazing.. x
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it :) Sarah x
Scotland and your paintings are very beautiful. Yourself of course and Jacks adorable. Uh oh! I'm allergic to hyacinths! But they are very pretty.
I would really love to hear more of the natural sounds (sorry Willie) during the walks. Wind through trees, ocean waves, waterfalls and streams etcetera.
Thank you! Good thing the hyacinths are just on the screen for you then!! I do try and find a balance between natural sounds and music, although sometimes I can’t use the real audio (eg when the wind was so strong on the beach - it would not have been pleasant to listen to!) I’ll keep working on it 😀👍 Sarah x
What do you mean it's not all about Jack?! 😂 Another beautiful walking location and a bonus we get to watch you do two amazing paintings. If I had to choose, I would preference the first one more, but do love them both
I mean it is really all about Jack, we just try to pretend otherwise so he doesn’t get big-headed 🤣 Thanks for your comment 😊Sarah x
Sarah, I love the 2nd one with the dark shadow behind the blossom. I cant paint. I don't have the depth perception, but I love showing my husband your art and it encourages him to try more things. My art is needlework. Stitching and embroidery. I do birds especially. Oh, and I love the music that Willie has made. I cant wait for an album?!
Thanks Mary! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 No plans to release any music at the moment, but we are more than happy to send you some of the tunes via email if you want to listen to them offline! Sarah x
So beautiful, so peaceful and calm. Even Jack. I think you did tire him out. Did you find any sea glass on the beach or shells. And the snow drops are such a sweet reminder that spring is coming. A very nice contrast between the two paintings. Different techniques are fun to experiment with. Thank you. Loved the second one.💗
Thank you Wendy! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 We didn’t see any sea glass on this beach, although it is hard to search for them when Jack is so excited!! Sarah x
My 3 year old black mini poodle is very envious of Jack’s romps off lead on the beach. We have nowhere near here that Charleston can do that! Lol
Aww! I hope they get to experience a beach romp someday. Happiness is a spaniel let loose at the beach. Or the woods. Or in a river. Or a muddy puddle. Or anything outside or where he can get covered in dirt 🤣 Sarah x
Your not afraid to try anything Sarah that's wonderful. Loved the video great stuff!! :) :)
Thanks Arlene! I'm so glad you liked it :) Sarah x
Such a lovely video. Your painting is stunning.
Thank you so much!!
I watch these on my computer & the visuals and colors were very sharp and bright on this episode!---I started to ask if Jack got to keep his stick when I realized it was gone...aww!---I loved both paintings, for different reasons, but the larger one held my attention longer.---The painting music was right on for the 1st, but I turned it down during the 2nd.
Thanks Alana! I really appreciate your feedback 😊 Jack never keeps a stick for long - there’s always something else to distract him. Usually another stick…😅 I’ll keep working on the volumes 👍 Sarah x
Gorgeous.
Thank you!!
So pretty and we have gorgeous lands on the East Coast of New England in the USA too similar to Scotland in some states too.
Sounds lovely! Hope you get to go out and enjoy them 😀 Sarah x
Beautiful.
Thank you Anna 😊
I just love Jack!! He’s such a sweetie. Beautiful walk. Love the Tamworth piglets. They were adorable. Lovely little snowflake and snowdrop flowers. I enjoy hearing the nature sounds and the crunch under your feet as you walk. I also don’t mind your narration. Peaceful.
Your painting is always so impressive, Sarah! I can’t decide which style I prefer. I think they are beautiful as a collection and should be sold that way. 🥰
Thank you!! I’m so glad you liked it 😊 The piglets were a lovely surprise to find! I wanted one, until I saw how big mama pig was…🤣
@@shewalksshepaints That mama piggy was big! 😅I would have a hard time resisting trying to pet them. 😁
BTW, I wouldn’t mind watching you talking to us about your choice of paints and paper/brushes and a little more about you and Willie. 🥰
Take care, Sarah, and see you next time you turn the camera on!🤗
Beautiful walk and awesome Snowdrops! Well done Sarah. Willie told me I would get a look at more Snowdrops last week. I like them both!
Thanks Debbie! Although I didn’t realise until I did of research at home that the snowflakes were a different plant! Always learning something new 😊 And just means I get to do some more paintings of snowdrops too 👍 Sarah x
@@shewalksshepaints Yes ma'am, it does.
I was surprised when you didn't stop at the toastie shack, but the food at Cambo is great too!
Another pair of great paintings. I prefer the composition of the first one, but both are very impressive
Thank you!! I have not heard of this Toastie Shack before…and now I feel like we need to go back immediately!! Sarah x
@@shewalksshepaints oh its definitely worth a visit. They have the one on Kingsbarns Beach, and there's another at East Sands in St Andrews. Great for a snack after a good walk 😁
can you can Jack's energy .. id buy a couple lol... what a beautiful day you had for a walk. the paintings are awesome as always x my fav is the first
Oh, we’d be millionaires if we knew how to bottle that energy!! 🤣
They are both beautiful; however, I like the one with the black the best. I had no idea that there are so many different types of Snow Drop plants. Do they grow from seeds or bulbs? I have not seen anything in bloom here this year. It is still about a month until Spring.
I hope no one was close when that tree came down. You find such beautiful places to walk. That was interesting about the pigs. I have seen pictures of them in magazines; but, they were not the same as the ones that my Grandfather raised. You have such a good dog. He must be lot of fun to walk. Thank you so much for this very interesting video.
Thanks Arvetta! Snowdrops grow from bulbs and they are usually the first flower to come up in spring. They were quite early this year I believe, but we did have a very mild (but windy!) winter. I’m glad you enjoyed all the features in this video 😊 Sarah x
Another great video. What an absolute amazing place. And not to far from us so definitely added to the list for new walks, so thanks for that. Lovely paintings. Love the feel of the loose one.
Ps does Jack ever slow down 🤪
Pps. Love the music Willie made for you 😀👍
Hi Billy! Thanks for your comment. I hope you get a chance to explore Cambo - the gardens look amazing in spring/summer, so we may have to go back again! Sarah
@@shewalksshepaints commented on your IG post. Looks like a cold but beautiful place for your next video ✌
So talented
Thanks!
So beautifull paintings. I think you have practised, ha ha. Lovely, crispycold walk with the best Jack Spaniels. I wonder, did you ever paint Jack?
I have painted Jack one yes - as a present for his doting grand-ma! It was a couple of years ago now, when I was just starting to use watercolours, so I'm sure I could do a better job now. Maybe I will have to do another one - those eyes just call out to be painted! Sarah x
@@shewalksshepaints Thx for answering. Would love to see those deep brown eyes
Hey Sarah - Another great video!! I prefer the 2nd painting because it seems more dramatic. And, I wonder what kind of training you had to do such beautiful work. Also, what do you do for a living? Are you a full-time artist?
Thank you Marian! I love the second one too - I was worried it would be too dramatic, but I think I got the balance right! I did study art at university for four years, but never did watercolours. So I am finding my own way with this medium at the moment! Up until recently I was working for a historic castle, but I left my job to focus on my creative pursuits. A bit scary but very exciting!! Sarah x
@@shewalksshepaints Thanx for sharing. I've been wanting to ask, & then forget to!
We look forward to Sundays lineup of shows. I recently drug out my paints and brushes that have been packed for over 10 years. All of it was trash. All dried up and moldy, brushes are bent and not good. I need to replace my supplies. Looking at all that is out the is a bit daunting. May I ask what paints, markers and brushes you use. I love the colors and the results you get. Your art work is lovely. Thank you for sharing it with us. 💕
Hi Shanna - thank you so much for your lovely comment! Great that you are feeling inspired to get painting again :) I use a lot of Windsor & Newton watercolour materials - pads of paper, brushes and paints. But the watercolour pens I use are a brand called Dyffle (you can find them on Amazon). I really like them, but they take a while to get used to! Sarah x
I like them both...
Thanks Larry!! That’s ok - I enjoyed doing both of them too 😀
Its acctually lorry and im a woman lol my dad had good sense of humour ,but thats the spelling on my birth certificate...I get that alot
I’m so sorry Lorry!! I wish I could blame it on technology, but it was probably me just not paying attention 🤦♀️
@@shewalksshepaints No harm done lol,its an odd spelling I get it alot...
Snowdrops & crocuses in the graveyard behind the Med. Ctr./Hospital, Portree.
Thanks for the heads up 😊
Liked them both. Have not ordered from Etsy yet because I cannot decide what to choose.
Aww thanks!
The things or the ones that give you the most joy in life are the ones you should concentrate on and that is what Jack Spaniels knows :) , anything else is just noice . And has ment to ask you before, what type is the pens that you use, watercolourpens :) ? And last timestamp 13:28 do you know the name of this variety of snowdrop ? I mean was there anykind of sign around to tell what sort ? It really is a beautiful one =). Thanks again for the walk and paint =)
Hi Solveig! Jack Spaniels has definitely got the key to finding joy & happiness in life! The pens that I use are by a brand called Dyffle. I think Arteza also do a range of watercolour pens, so I will probably try them at some point too. I think that particular type of snowdrop is a double-flowered one (Galanthus Nivalis?). It was amazing to see the underneath of the flowers. Sarah x
Correction on misspelling surroundings .
Curious- what's with the avocado chart I often see?
Great adventure today! Thankyou!
Thanks!! The avocado thing is a coaster, which I use to mix/dilute the watercolour pens. It works really well as it has a smooth shiny surface. I mainly use it as it was on my desk for drinks and I had it to hand. I should really get a plain one or a white tile to use 🤦♀️ The avocado design is one of my paintings too 😊 Sarah x
@@shewalksshepaints Ha! Thanks ; )
We have had a terrible winter here in Ohio and i an not wait for spring.
Oh no Sue - I hope spring comes quickly for you!
Get a waist dog harnesses that you wear, so you can have both hands free, people who have husky dogs wear them,
Gosh - I think I’d be too scared to wear on of those with Jack…he’s very strong from all his mountain climbing haha!
@@shewalksshepaints it trains them not to pull
