    Since I made this, I discovered this ingenious and super cheap 'plein air' box which I now carry everywhere - check it out in this video -- studio.ua-cam.com/users/videobW5rSFgpLXY/edit

    Haha, seeing you pushed up against the fence reminded me if the time I sat myself next to a tree of bees. I didn’t realize it because I was so focused on framing 🤣 This was a lovely video. Thank you for sharing. I always enjoy seeing your workflow process

      Thanks Laura!! One of the first outside classes I taught I plonked my coat down on the ground, 3 hours later picked it up and discovered it had been sitting on an ants nest all that time!

      I'm not sure exactly, but there is definitely cobalt blue and scarlet lake. You can check my full palette on urbansketch.co.uk/supplies

    Love this video. I love those house too, I walk past them regularly and it was so interesting seeing how you captured them on the page, what you kept in and what you left out. The second part is what I need to work on, I try to put too much detail in. Thank you for the video, love to see more like it 🙂

      Go and enjoy it 😁 if you're nervous about it, start with pencil sketching - quicker and easier to do incognito. Then progress to bringing out a full set of oils 😜

    Absolutely loved this video Toby! It was fascinating to watch your creative process at work - the finished work was just brilliant! So full of life and character! Thank you so much for sharing - and the setting was utterly delightful by the way. It was lovely to hear the restful ambient sounds and the birds singing. I was born in the UK, but moved to Australia when I was 9. Now my home is in tropical Northern Australia and while I love it here, it’s not very practical to paint outside. It’s always hot and extremely humid, so paper just turns to mush outdoors, plus the nasty tropical biting insects can make life very unpleasant. My "plein air" sessions usually consist of setting up in my car with the aircon running flat out! Cheating a bit I know, but it is what it is … 😜 Thanks again for a super video! I enjoyed it very much. 😁👍

    • @TobySketchLoose
      @TobySketchLoose  2 роки тому

      Hi Jeni - lovely comment thank you so much!
      Haha, I don't think it's cheating - not practical to sit outside in 40 degree heat. Most of my plein air season is 'helped' by added rainwater, or done from inside a cafe. At least I don't get the insects though, I'm not sure I'd cope!

    Thanks for sharing this sketch adventure - as well as sharing the thought process.
    The rendering turned out really nice - I really like the character of the sketch (the linework and such), as well as the shadowing and touches with pen, as well as the watercolor of the sky.
    I still have not jumped back into playing with color - and still trying to get ideas and my mind around it from your videos.
    Congratulations on getting to 2k subscribers...you are actually now well on your way past that!!!
    Look forward to your next video...
