Episode 67: My Kit and Kaboodle - And Have I Found The Reuben Solution?

Hello lovely listeners! In this episode I tell you about my upcoming course, and also share an update about my Sketchpocket and how it’s coming along. Enjoy!

This is just a once-off episode to bring you up to date with my brand new sketching bag that’s just going into production now. I would love to do more podcasts but all my creative energy odd going into YouTube and my wonderful students! I hope you enjoy this one.

I went to France for four days to attend the famous travel sketchbooking festival that is Rendezvous du Carnet de Voyage. I wanted to broadcast from my hotel room each night but it was way too intense for that! So this is a day or two after the event: I hope you enjoy it. I hope to record occasional podcasts again in the future when I have a day to do so!

This is it folks - for now, anyway. Editing YouTube videos takes FOREVER so that’s where my creativity is going at the moment - why not join me over there, and subscribe to my channel? I give you at least two videos a week to keep you from going sketch-hungry so I think you’ll like it.

This week I make my (dog’s) shame public, as I describe his unpleasant behaviour within the sanctified walls of my home - and offer a solution. As well as that I describe a method for drawing from old photographs and a few recommendations for some great kit. I’m taking a break over Easter so I’ll see you in two weeks! Happy Easter everyone!

In this week’s episode: being rejected by ALL and SUNDRY and coming up smiling; the joy of supergranulating paints (again) and when the sketch therapy session just doesn’t cut the mustard… and why!

In this week’s episode, I invite you along with me as I sketch some of the lovely St. Patrick’s Day decorations bedecking the streets of Galway. I talk about stealing strangers’ likenesses (ie. sketching them) on the train, and how fun that can be, and today’s Top Tip is to get yourself some glitter gel pens and capture crazy colour with confidence!

This week I wear the ear off a very nice man from the US who is interested in the connection between landscape and the artists who are inspired by it. That was fun. I also took part in the 100 people challenge! I tell you about them because that’s the whole point of drawing people - it’s interesting! Grab them while you can.

Listen, it’s that time of year again, March 6-10th, when the Draw 100 People challenge comes upon us once more. I’m going to do my best, which may not be great seeing as I live in the middle of nowhere! Also: I’m flooding YouTube these days…come and see my yard!

In this week’s episode, spring has sprung in Co. Galway and it’s good to be alive. I’ve been gallivanting along the country roads going about my job as an art farmer - harvesting beautiful scenery in my sketchbook to serve to you, fresh at the Sketch With Roisin marketplace…not sure how far I can take this analogy but so far I’m liking it!
