Painting daily and inspired by travel! ✶ Skye, Scotland 

I don’t think there was one shot in this video that I didn’t see at least one point of inspiration to paint. So awesome

I always get so excited whenever you post another video. I get to live my goals of being an artist living in Scotland vicariously through your channel. 😂 On another note, the Isle of Skye looks so beautiful and filled with inspiration. I love your cat umbrella too!

So many beautiful opportunities to capture!! Your channel is so inspiring and informative. I’m looking forward to watch more videos.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this wonderful vacation, Sarah! from my Mom and Me!

I have gone back to watch your Etchr Slate Mini setup videos several times and would love a similar video of the U.Go setup, even a side by side of the two. Always inspiring to watch your videos, thank you Sarah!

Very cool! But that weather, girl! Scotland is beautiful, but ... I'll stay in South Carolina. I really love to watch your videos and the scenery, though. Thank you for this!

All of Scotland seems to be magical. I see why you love it.

What beautiful scenery…so inspirational😍

This is beyond aesthetic, I love it ☺☺

Amazing work Sarah! And I'm looking forward to the video on gears, especially the pochade box!

One of your best videos. Thank you

I was really looking forward to your Skye video and wow you did not disappoint. Beautiful photography Sarah and great paintings thank you so much for inspiring me once again. You have been so disciplined with your daily painting.

Beautiful!!🥰

Absolutely amazing .thanks for sharing your journey. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list.

I love your videos no matter what you do. You are so peaceful and enjoyable to watch. I've been in a painting slump, but trying to pull myself out and maybe 5-10 mins. a day will help. ~April

Your videos are true works of art, along with your actual art. You live in such a gorgeous area; every scene makes my jaw drop. I really love the sheep painting you did and that stretch of road with the bright yellow flowers is so gorgeous!

WOW 😮 and double WOW 🤩 . Breathtaking 🎉

Stunning everything - scenery, travel, artwork and your joy and contagiously smiley face 😊

Thank you Sarah for such an inspiring video. Such a joy to see Scotland and you painting it.

I have enjoyed seeing your progress through the challenge this month. Thank you for taking the time to share. I hear on the exhausted part. I am so glad there is only one day left.

Thank you for sharing your newest set up. My question is what tripod are you using? 😊

Sarah, I truly enjoy your videos like this one. Thank you. 😊

Loved seeing your Plein Airpril review of the last couple of weeks. Such incredible skies… especially at the beginning when it was bright blue on one side and stormy on the other 😮. Enjoy seeing the range in what you created as well, sometimes it’s hard to start when you think you only have a few minutes and the “why bother?” attitude sets in.

Love your wild skies. Would love to know more about your new pochade box. Oh and can we see more of your new kitty ❤

Your vlogs have an uplifting effect on me, and I enjoy viewing Scotland from your point of view, as I also live on the Moray coast, and are familiar with quite a few of the spots that you are painting and filming, you give me fresh inspiration of the natural beauty in this part of the world.

Skye is so dang gorgeous. Can’t wait to get back there someday.

Dear Sarah, thank you for sharing your journey, the open words and art. I am fascinated about how your paintings are created. And of course the landscape. So in love. I am still looking for an art travel. The gouache box with mountains arrived today and I can't wait to start tomorrow morning =)

Gorgeous views and beautiful subjects to paint. This was very special to me to see today because my daughter is visiting the Isle of Skye & Edinburgh this week for her vacation holiday before heading back home to NYC!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience & inspirational video!

Greatly enjoyed your brilliant video Sarah of your challenges with pleine air sketches and paintings , the weather hasn't settled yet so we put up with four seasons in a day!!. I find your videos interesting and inspiring greatly stay safe and healthy

I love it! Beautiful sketches, scenery, clouds etc. It was nice to see your studies of things. I get it about the bad weather. April was wet, wet, wet here. I hope your weather is better in May. Thank you.

Enjoyed, listening and watching. It’s hard to believe the daily painting is almost over. Had to laugh at myself, one day I tore up what I did then glued the pieces in my book. Look forward to hearing more about your new set up and thanks for all you do.

Hi Sarah. I was just in Skye last week, for the first time: gorgeous. In Arasaig now. Have you been to the Silver Sands of Morar? It's beautiful. Camusdarach Beach too. Thank you for the inspiration.

Oh wow that's beautiful scenery and yes very inspiring 😍❣️😍.

Wow, that landscape…. Unbelievable! I really understand why you have so much inspiration. I live in Germany😔, and well, in the south we also have very nice spots but here near big towns…., there is no forest only fields and no single waterfall or mountain. Therefore I really enjoy seeing the view you have (almost) directly nearby. The weather in this April is also …😣… here, grey skies, wind, rain, coldness…., but today we have a lot of sunshine. I am wondering if small children paint skies in grey meanwhile…. One question: do you still use acrylic gouache as underpainting for example? A few years ago you thought about doing that but up to now I have not found a later video where you mention it. Your cats are soooo cute. I also have two🥰. And I have a dog, so no matter what the weather brings, I have to go outside. And that is good, as I don’t think I have your strength to leave the house without him. Let’s dream of a nice summer with a lot of sunshine. Thanks again for taking us with you…..I learn so much💕 Oh I am looking forward to you sketchbook video. And YES, I enjoy!!!!

1. Every time I watch one of your Skye visits, I leave a bit of myself there. 2. I have the New Wave I Go medium pochade and love it to death!

So happy for a new video from you. Beautiful and relaxing. You are a great artist.

gorgeous camerawork and art as always. I'm eagerly awaiting the next gouache box too

Your videos are as creatively beautiful as your paintings ... lovely pace and letting the story unfold along with the visual beauty - thank you! . I am finishing pleinairpril also, but my first go and I am a very new watercolor/sketch person. Despite posting some awful paintings, I painted everyday and posted all but the top of one painting. I also plan on painting everyday but some/many might be practicing brush strokes, water control or other techniques. The challenge helped me with the habit as well as painting from real life. If not for the challenge, I might have given up on plein air ... it was challenging and I adjusted my kit through the month as well as where and what I painted. But now I am hooked ... although I will be a fair weather plein air painter I think! . Seeing you posts as well as the videos was inspirational to me through the month.

I've enjoyed! Thanks, Sarah Burns.

Hi Sarah, I see why you love Scotland 💖 I was planning to travel there in summer, however I would only be able to see Edinburg this time around. After seeing how beautiful the North of Scotland is, it makes me want to edit my itinerary. Thank you for sharing your creative life in Scotland with us!!

Thank you, Sarah! I look forward to your videos each week. You had some amazing weather on the Isle of Skye. Here in Grand Junction, CO. Good old US of A we have had some amazingly nice weather. However, if you were in the mountains all I can say is you would have still been using a lot of zinc white for Plein April. 😀 Take care.

Just amazingly beautiful and inspireing.🙏🏻🎨👍🏻😄

Awesome! Hey, do you remember what brand of that brown/sepia fine liner you used on that last castle sketch? Sorry, I didn’t see on your list. It’s hard to find a good brown ink, that doesn’t look too dark! Thx Sarah! Very inspiring! 👍🙏🏻🖋🖌🎨

Thank you Sarah - so inspiring. I look forward to your next video (take your time!) with updated supply suggestions.

Great video! Beautiful scenery, absolutely stunning and the kind of thing that is uncommon and can only be found in Scotland. Also the bit of sketching and especially the gouache paintings that you did fit in were lovely to see. You have some real talent so don’t give up. Hang in there and keep up with the painting- that’s the most important thing. Time goes by & before you know it you’re 63 like me! I just got back into painting & finally I’ve forced in a minimum one hour a day. Once you’re at that daily practice for like a month, it seems that your skills improve and things get easier, and your paintings are starting to show the skill. Feels good, doesn’t it??? BTW, I jump into your other RU-vid channel once in a while to see what’s going on. Same high-quality videos. Thank you for sharing a piece of yourself, which cannot be easy. I look forward to seeing your flip through and new supply favorites. I will be needing a brush set for gouache & will check your site for recommendations. I have a ton of WC brushes tho. (Love the new puddy-cat!) Bye for now👋

I hear you in regards to MAKING time to paint. I am an art teacher but also want to practise what I preach. I assign 3 x 1 hour blocks in my week days to set aside for painting. That's what I am doing now as I watch your video. 3 hours is not enough but its better than nothing.

I enjoy your videos so much! You’re amazing!

I'm really looking forward to seeing how your palette is evolving. I've just picked a few new colors of gouache to fill my 16 palette, so now I'm playing with different mixes. Winsor and Newton is the easiest gouache for me to get here but I don't find their printed color chart very accurate when trying to pick new colors. I've ended up finding it easier to see other people's color choices and the mixes they can get and then working from there, so your RU-vid channel and blog are very useful resources to me.

Such a beautiful video, wonderful art, scenery and music. We took our camper up there for 6 weeks the summer before covid hit…I wish I’d made more time for myself painting , hope you kick start my art again, thank you x

At the beginning, you showed streams and little calves with water and I find water can be so mean because it looks so beautiful and inviting you just want to jump in, but then you get the rude awakening of being like a frozen popsicle

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing ❤

Uau!!! Que lugar lindo ! Amo seu seus vídeos e sua pintura ! Obrigado por compartilhar ! 🤩🥰🤗🇧🇷

Was patiently awaiting this! Thanks.. I know your time is very limited & busy…so thanks again!

Thanks so much for the sharing ❤

Thank you for sharing

Keep up the inspiration!

What a wonderful video! The sceneries, the streams with crystal clear water, your drawings and paintings, the changing weather. The Findlater Castle was very interesting. Have people really been living there, or was it more of a watchpost? Thank you very much, this was inspiring.

Thanks for sharing such beautiful scenery.

I put down a tape magnet on my little easel and on my u go easel. If you leave off the water troughs on the sides, it stays in place without the band. I also have the larger version. For bigger paintings. You can get an additional mast it’s deeper claws to hold a thicker canvas or your little books.

Thank you! Skye left me speechless! Have you stopped watercolor altogether, or just for en plein air?

Great video Sarah. Did I understand correctly.. that you use card stock for some of you plein air painting? You do such an awesome job! Keep up the good work!

Sarah, I don't know if anyone else asked, but would you be able to show us your new easel set up start to finish? Thank you, if you're able to do it!

Hey, so can you give that new easel a shot with watercolor? Specifically does the mixing tray fit well enough to mix there, or does the watercolor drain into the cracks around the edge? Though I guess the tray could just be a table. Hmm, I shall think on this.

❤❤❤

beautiful video with beautiful views! in these plein air paintings do you always use gouache? peace!

Great video Sarah! I’m looking forward to your updated plein air gear video! I’d be interested to know if/how the u.go works with a sketchbook or watercolor block. Also, what material are you painting on and what is the white thing it is attached to that is held by the teeth of the easel?

Hi, Ive been looking into making a sketchbook for my drawing but also wanted to try gouache and maybe save the pages for some years in the future (roughing out some future projects to work on). I was wondering between paper weights, if gouache could stand being on lighter paper weights like 80lbs (118gsm) or 90/95lbs (145/160gsm), as I was going to use Strathmore 400 toned Tan sketch paper pads to make some journals/binders since they come in 50 pages at a resonable price. The heavier papers like Drawing, Mixed Media, or Bristol only come in pads of 24 for the same price but I'm fine with mixing and matching paper typed if I have to. Thank you for your time and thank you for all the womdeful in depth information and examples about gouache!

The scenes in this video are stunning. It makes me want to do screen captures and paint all of them. Not sure if you have shared this before but do you have any special or recommended set up when you car paint?

Sarah, which sketchbook is this with the brown paper? I’m sure you have answered this before but I can’t remember? Please once more lol and thank you for this beautiful inspirational video!

I’ve been a subscriber so long I remember that series! It’s one of my all time favorites from you. I painted right along with you. Thanks as always for taking us along to enjoy beautiful Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi Sarah, thank you for another beautifully inspiring video. You’ve inspired me into using gouache myself, especially when travelling. May I ask, “How do you reconstitute your dries gouache? Do you just spray the dry paints before using them?” I’ve been having difficulty getting mine to be creamy instead of dry.

What kind of paper is your sketchbook mostly

Hi Sarah, how does the UGO compare to the Guerrilla Painter pochade box, in terms of experience?

🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

What brand is in the bigger palette?

Quel belle île mais il doit y faire froid.....Brrrrrr.

Are you painting in guoache or watercolor Sarah? It looks so thick. And I’m not familiar with the yardstick you are using. Looks like cardboard.
