If you'd like to take the course yourself then click here :www.domestika.org/en/courses/2008-illustrated-recipes-making-delicious-art/melanie_chadwick Hope you guys enjoy seeing this behind the scenes, I very much enjoyed the whole process, and it was made all the more special by the crew who looked after me in Madrid, so a BIG thank you to Sara, Ruben and Marcos. Thanks also to Laura who designed the set and Irene who took all the photos.
This is amazing, Melanie! I’m here filming my second one right now, and you’d think having done it once it would be much easier. But it is as nerve-wracking and intense as ever! Watching this video was so reassuringly familiar, to hear you expressing everything I’m going through each day. You come across so well in your course and it looks beautiful. Congratulations, and thank you for your honesty.
Hi Laura! So lovely to read your comment thank-you for watching and so glad to hear it's been an encouragement for you, whilst you're filming again. I'm sure it will all be well but that doesn't take away from those nerves of the first few filming days. So glad to hear you're back in Madrid though and hope the remainder of your time you can enjoy.
This was crazy fun to watch!! I can't believe I'm just now getting around to seeing this. Thank you for the shout out and it was nice to see that I "kept you company" a little while you were away from home. I LOVED seeing all the behind the scenes - great job!!!!!
I just finished watching your course and really enjoyed it. I still need to do the projects, but that's what winter is for. I loved seeing how involved the crew was with setting up your veggies and art supplies. Everything looks effortless in the final videos. I'm looking forward to being in your new sketchbook class in January.
Lovely to hear. Yes so much is unseen in these productions, it's a bit like a Swan looking serene on the top but below paddling furiously. Thankyou for watching and see you in class!
Hi Mel, I purchased your class a few weeks ago and have got part way through it, I found this so interesting to watch the behind the scenes, I had no idea how much work goes into a class. Well done for doing something out of your comfort zone, you came across very friendly and class is really good I am finding out lots of new things. Blessings from Australia
Thanks Michelle. It is surprising how much goes into it- I hadn't realised how much prep was done on Domestika's side too, so it's been a learning experience for me as well.
Hello! I'm new to your channel but have really been enjoying your studio vlogs - they keep me company in the studio 😄 also I have to say I LOVE maps, I collect old maps of Scotland and beyond and I've attempted to paint a few, but I super love your map illustrations
Hello Sarah! Welcome, glad to meet you, and that my vlogs have been keeping you company. And to hear you are a map lover too- there's something special about looking at a map particularly old ones. Thanks for saying hi!
That was so lovely to see. I had no idea how it was made. Thank you❤️ Someone suggested me to try to do this too…I am 58, wrinkles all over…I don’t have the nerve to do it😂
Hi, Thank you for making this video! I am traveling from Los Angeles to Madrid to film a course for Domestika next month. I was supposed to film in New York in January, but they closed that studio right before I was supposed to film and I have been wondering what the experience will be like. You come across as very relaxed and centered in the video and I'm sure that you do in your course as well.
Glad it was helpful! Hope your preparations are going well. They will take care of you. Interesting to hear of the studio closing, I was due to make another course last year but my producer was made redundant and it was never rescheduled so I'm glad they have made it happen for you in Madrid.
Hi, it was great to see the behind-the-scenes! About the filming the course, I have a question. How did it look like? Were you filming only the introduction parts and painting-live parts with the technical recorded separately by you by screen recording? Or was it all-all filmed in the studio?
Thanks for this amazing video! I’ve seen your course on Domestika and will definitely add it to my purchase list. Funny thing, if you had produced a course on map illustration I would have already purchased it a few months ago when I was searching Domestika for just that. Maybe you can return to make another?
Thank a lot, glad to hear. I am returning to and currently preparing another course but it is on landscapes and sketchbooks with mixed media. I did suggest a map illustration one but it wasn't picked up!
I’m not very into food illustration but I’d love a course on map making by you! Specially in a sketchbook since I don’t really do digital art. 😊 will keep my eyes peeled in case you do! 🤓
Very well put! Thanks for the detailed journey ❤️ I wonder if you are paid per student? Or is it a fixed payment done by Domestika? Do you get a certain percentage of each payment your students do? I’m thinking pf contacting Domestika and thought to check all the details first! Thank you ❤️
Thankyou. They pay a fixed advance payment once you've filmed the course and then once published you get a percentage of student sales, however you only get sales once you've reached the amount you were paid.
No, they don't require a vlog or similar ( if that's what you mean),I thought it may be helpful to others who may be teaching on Domestika to see behind the scenes. Domestika does handle the teacher's accommodation and travel costs.
Production definitely feels at a high level. One minor thing - language. I would prefer more English language and dubbed to English courses. I am just not fan of hitting pause every five seconds to read subtitle. But overall great learning platform.

I’m so glad you filmed all of this, Mel! Fascinating to watch. :) x
Glad you enjoyed it Natasha, I always like seeing behind the scenes, so I thought others would too. xx
What a delightful video this was.
What an amazing experience! It was really interesting seeing behind the scenes too.🤩
Yes it really was! Thanks Jess, I'm glad I decided to film as I went, it's a good reminder for me too.
This was crazy fun to watch!! I can't believe I'm just now getting around to seeing this. Thank you for the shout out and it was nice to see that I "kept you company" a little while you were away from home. I LOVED seeing all the behind the scenes - great job!!!!!
Any time! I know you did indeed keep me company. xx THANKYOU!!
What a nice insight into this whole experience!
Ah thankyou!

Thanks for sharing this Mel! Also, I'm glad you sorted the kettle out, I was alarmed when you showed the kitchen bit of the hotel room!
Haha, yes it was a bit odd when I saw it as I really didn't know what I was going to drink if I couldn't have tea!!

Fascinating to have a peek at the process. Melanie shares a wealth of tips and tricks in her Domestika course. And it's fun!
Thanks Lyn! You've been so encouraging to have on the course too, glad you signed up.

Mel this is such a great video, I felt like I was with you. I actually felt quite nervous for you having to endure all of that filming. X
Thanks so much Carly!There were definitely some trying moments along with some really good ones too xx
That was so lovely to see. I had no idea how it was made. Thank you❤️ Someone suggested me to try to do this too…I am 58, wrinkles all over…I don’t have the nerve to do it😂
Thankyou! I would not have believed I could a few years ago, but little by little I built my confidence on camera. I'm sure you can too!

@@MelanieChadwick Hi Melanie, Yes, I heard that they closed studios in New York, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Paris...
@@davidsimon5252 that is interesting possibly growing too quickly...
thank you so much for this video! I am leaving to madrid to shoot mine in 2 weeks and this has helped me a lot to prep mentally as to what to expect
You're welcome Stanley 😊 glad it's been helpful- and all the best with your filming too.
Awe well done Mel! This was interesting ♥️
Thank you!! 😊 Glad you found it interesting too!
Hi, loved your video. What company helped you record the course?
Thankyou! Domestika did everything which included the filming and production.
Hi, it was great to see the behind-the-scenes!
About the filming the course, I have a question. How did it look like? Were you filming only the introduction parts and painting-live parts with the technical recorded separately by you by screen recording? Or was it all-all filmed in the studio?
Thankyou! Yes the Ai instruction was created using screen capture in my studio and the painting/trailor/etc was done in the Domestika studio.
Thanks for this amazing video! I’ve seen your course on Domestika and will definitely add it to my purchase list.

Hello, is this something domestika requires you to do? And is it handled by domestika the cost and everything
No, they don't require a vlog or similar ( if that's what you mean),I thought it may be helpful to others who may be teaching on Domestika to see behind the scenes. Domestika does handle the teacher's accommodation and travel costs.
So Lovely
Thanks
Is there a teleprompter made available?
Not when I was there, we had to memorise chunks of what we had written which is why I was finding it hard at times!
Production definitely feels at a high level. One minor thing - language. I would prefer more English language and dubbed to English courses. I am just not fan of hitting pause every five seconds to read subtitle. But overall great learning platform.
I think they are working on that, and introducing more english speaking teachers. I will be running another course this year too.
Does domestika pay you to teach?
Yes
