You are the queen of dry brushing! I really admire your skill.

Haven't watched much of your video ( I do love the way you paint❤) but I MUST say that Wolfie is an artist in his own right , his views and sound are inspiring; the accomliment to your painting couldn't be better ❤

Sarah, this was a great video. I love how you explained each step and your entire thought process in so much detail. Your camera angle painting the beach part was perfect because it was very helpful to watch you mixing as you talked about your color choices and and reasons for each step you took. This was a super helpful video. The coastline of Scotland is gorgeous and the combination of cliffs and ocean are stunning. Thanks so much for the video. I always look forward to them!

Thank you so much, Sarah! I love the way you broke everything down and explained your entire process and why you’re doing what you’re doing. This is so helpful Gouache is one of those mediums you need to know how to work with to get it to do what you want and give you the results as lovely as yours.

Sarah, your videos are always refreshing and encouraging and inspiring to go out and paint as well!!! -God Bless you! I vote for more of these videos! You could sit and paint Anything, and it would be interesting to me! I'm 57, a self-taught artist, wife of 25 years, and mom to a 19-year-old son who just joined the Navy on an aircraft carrier! We live in the state of Washington- anyway, I love to draw and paint, and it is challenging to me to do landscapes here- water, clouds, rocks/cliffs- but I am learning, thanks to you! Thanks again!

I so love your videos, Sarah! It's so soothing to see these beautiful landscapes you paint and also hear you walk us through your thought process and how you tackle different challenges. Your choice of music is also absolutely spot on and just your whole channel is an epic, binge-worthy and action-inspiring art adventure I love following along. Thank you for all your amazing content here, on Skillshare, and on IG. You're one of my fave artists to learn from and get inspired by every time you post.

@bobbiegraham7729 Год назад

Being new to your channel this is the first plein air I've seen you do. I have to admit I laughed out loud when you said there needed to be some water spray on your rocks and POOf , one stroke and there was! Beautiful work. I love your narration . and I never knew that drybrush can be magic. Thank you!

Yes, please! 😊🌊 I've just started drawing again after several years. I'm working to improve my drawing skills to eventually do paintings again. Watching you helps things crystalize in my mind and I get a few ideas I hadn't thought about before. Thanks for the inspiration 😊🙏

@wendyvancamp1738 2 года назад

This was a beautiful video. I loved how you explained your color mixing choices, techniques for the cliff, water, and sand, and tips on working with gouche outside in the environment. These are all wonderful for a budding urban sketcher such as myself. I noticed you did an underwater shot! Your cinematic flow is certainly wonderful and I enjoy your mix of closeups, wide shots of the environment you paint as well as the aerials to give a sense of place. I hope you choose to do more of these in the future.

@SarahBurnsStudio 2 года назад

Thank you! Funny thing about the underwater…I dropped my phone while recording, freaked out, googled it, and discovered it’s rated to go underwater for a short amount of time (not super deep). So I said screw it, let’s get some more shots! Though I’m still paranoid about the salt water…probably won’t do that often.

Enjoyed this very much! I'm just starting with gouache plein air (from watercolour) so this was helpful. We have a similar coastline here in Nova Scotia ("New Scotland"), only our sand is more of a cool grey instead of rosy. Lovely work on your spread - you captured it so well.

@perinilan4364 2 года назад

Super demo! The more I practice doing dry brush with the gouache, the more useful it becomes for a variety of textural effects. Could you post a demo with just dry brush exercises for those just beginning? Actually the brush “pinch” technique would also be a good technique to practice…maybe a “How to make textures with brush tricks for gouache painting” demo!!!

Def want more videos like this! I'm watching this while drawing anatomy study. This is my fifth anatomy sketchbook. Your videos always encourage me to go outside and paint. So far, I did it twice and I can say it's really hard to make the right colour. Like, it could look fine on the field, but once you look at the painting at home, the colours are so off and muddy. And the values are just so wrong in so many spots 😭😭

@SarahBurnsStudio 2 года назад

I understand! This is very common. It’s why we call it training. We are literally training our eye to translate what we see in 3D with moving light to the paper. We also learn to make artistic choices along the way for a ‘pleasing’ result

@colleenmcchesney1482 2 года назад

Okay I just realized why some of my seaside/beaches/oceans paintings are missing the yellow tones of the water because of the tossing sand in the water. Your water has so much movement in it with watching the various colors you add to it that I didn’t realize before. 😁I’m finding out that I really have a fear of using purple in my skies, seascapes, and landscapes/mountains, which is definitely what is seen in all of subjects. 🤯 It’s comforting to see that I’m not the only one struggling with keeping my watercolors/gouache wet when painting outdoors. I forget to keep my eye on that while I’m painting. Once again thanks for sharing your time at the beach, inspiring us to paint & especially enjoy the moment. This is definitely a gorgeous painting.

@wenwake7584 2 года назад

Hi Sarah. I've been subscribed for some time now and haven't commented before. I just listened to a Carl Olsen show that mentioned you towards the end, and I was so happy to hear his comments about your artwork, and couldn't remember you speaking about being an introvert, let alone relocating several times in Scotland. I understand that so well. Anywho, I clearly have a good eye for the few artists I subscribe to and have time to follow on youtube 😁 Always love your beach paintings, especially locations you revisit and noting the differences in season and colour palette, and loving all your gouache paintings as I've only recently been experimenting and enjoying this medium. I even bought the empty rectangular palette due to your use and it keeps the gouache moist a treat. Look forward to more pleinair adventures from you. All the best 💚

@SarahBurnsStudio Год назад

Hello! I love his podcast!! I have received so much value from those interviews. I love playing them in the background while I work. Thank you so much for your kind words!

@wenwake7584 Год назад

@@SarahBurnsStudio Yep. I love it too. Sooooo inspiring. I've listened to about ten so far, so luckily have many more to catch up on. Yet, I know for sure, I'll be repeat listening. These podcasts are a treasure trove. It's like a great book that needs revisiting to pick up precious nuggets that were missed on the first pass. I hope others that view this comment will look Carl Olsen up because he is seriously underated on youtube looking at his subscriber numbers. And, he has such a lovely voice, heart, and passion for art. He ticks all my boxes 😁 Like you, these podcasts are now a regular in my background as I practice and improve. I love the kindred spirit of artists that share, so thank you Sarah for being the inspiration for me to get out in the local neighbourhood and observe. It's scary early days for me, yet has been lovely. It's usually the kids that make me smile with their unedited thoughts and open my old eyes more. Gosh, kids are so educational to adults who listen, lol!

When I look at my first tries in my first sketchbook and where I am today, I can honestly say that drawing almost every day, watching great artist like you on RU-vid, looking in books and following courses on Skillshare has helped me so much.
