Some Days in the life of a Plein Air Painter in Scotland ✶ summer

I love these type of videos you do, taking us to your group plein air meetings, seeing the different locations (beautiful) and how the others are set up and their "takes" of the views. I am all set up now for painting outside but just at that awkward stage of getting started, feeling comfortable with it, finding the groove, etc. Sarah, you are so inspiring! Thank you!

I've enjoyed your journey through the rocky landscapes, colorful boats, and architecture. I love to watch you paint.

I live on southern Vancouver Island in Canada. I think you would love painting here! Our coastline is heavily forested (as I believe Scotland once was?) and the rock formations and moss- and lichen-scapes are so beautiful and interesting, much like those in your videos. My city has more mossy oak trees than you could ever paint! I end up with a phone full of pictures of rocks and tree bark. If you're ever looking for a destination painting trip, look us up! 😊

I like how you attached your view finder to your easel. Great idea!

Your tree is absolutely gorgeous!

„Paint us, Sarah“, the rocks were calling, „paint us!“ 😀

No matter the style, urban, etc. your painting is awesome and inspiring!

Lovely and relaxing video. I learned a lot just from watching. Easier for me to pick up techniques and ideas just observing you then it is to actually have someone tell me what they’re doing. So this was a perfect video for me.

This is so gorgeous, what an amazing country scotland is ☺☺

It is very kind of you to share some of your plein air painting time with us. And I thank you for sharing some very stunning painting sites from your beautiful Scotland as well. I would love to visit there again one day. (My husband and I biked around some of Europe in 1985 and got to experience a baby bit of Scotland & loved every minute of it.) As we lived in Alaska for many years I love boats/docks/water…really love your boat and rock paintings.😊

Something about watching you paint those rocks brought to mind the Boulder Flatirons.

Just LOVE the architecture..you are entitled to ...in Scotland...and love how your rendition evolved...you are an AMAZING draughtsman/person...you just plop in those shapes...so perfectly in proportion...and then POOF...lovely gouache/watercolour added in ...after your sketch....gives a graphic...urban sketcher vibe to me...thanks for showing us all...what you have been up to...and about at!...Janis

Nice to see such a variety of locations where you got to paint! Beautiful paintings from each spot 😊. Very cool that a couple of YouTube viewers stopped to say “hi”.

Hi Sarah. Jim from Madrid, Spain (a fellow artist and a New Yorker expat living abroad). It's been a while since I posted in your YT channel due to some health issues, but I always watch your vids, they are extremely inspiring. So much so that I used to only paint in Watercolor on "Plein Air" but you've inspired me to also use my Gouache and, even though it's different and requires somewhat of a learning curve, it's a wonderful medium for plain air and urban sketching. Due to my work life, I've traveled extensively throughout the World for over 25 years (most of Western Europe, including the UK, and a bit of Eastern Europe, some countries in North Africa and Dubai, Latin America, and the US and Canada), but I've never been to Scotland nor Ireland, which are both in my bucket list, as well as Asia and Australia, though I'm not sure I'll ever be able to visit them anymore. So, your videos take me there in a way and doing what I most love... Art & Photography. So... Thank you very much! Your vids take me there virtually and I enjoy them very much! Hope the best for you and help me keep on discovering! Cheers from Sunny Spain! 😁👍😎✌

What a treat. Thank you for taking us with you. Loved all your sketches and the sound of the sea as you painted. Loved the granulation of colours on the tree. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the summer.

I live on the west coast of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 we have a small harbour and so many places to paint this inspired me so much ! I would absolutely love to see all the beautiful coastlines we have here . Honestly our country is such a magical place when you take the time to go see places . Thanks for another great vlog ! Always learn something here ❤

Excellent video and paintings - 50 sleeps until I'm back in Scotland and I'm definitely going to be bringing 10% clothes and 90% art supplies :)

I love the tree painting! Thank you for sharing your life as a plein air artist.

Thank you for taking us to your paint a long group🥰 Love all the boats!

As usual, an excellent video! I just wanted to say Sarah that I love the brushes that I’m getting in the kits every month. I tried gouache once back in about 1991 and hated it. I didn’t realize it was because of the brushes. It’s so much more fun now. thank you for the wonderful brushes and wonderful kits to work with. Have a lovely week.☮️❤️🙏
