Vlog 2 Making the most of little moments to sketch

I had so much fun doing last week's vlog that I wanted to do another one, and this time to actually film myself and my sketching during the week. In other words create a true 'weekly vlog'.
I really don't like taking selfies, but I challenged myself this week to 'put myself out there' and had a lot of fun putting this vlog together for you. My goal is to encourage you to push yourself out of your comfort zone and get out sketching on location.
Two takeaways:
1. I have completely stopped sketching when I am with friends. While I love giving them my focus, I have been missing having a sketched record of our catchups. So I want to think of a way to do something quick at the time - have an intentional plan.
2. I also have completely stopped sketching when I have a spare moment, Instead I have been using my phone to catch up on emails and replying to Instagram comments. I need to resist the smart phone addiction!

Hi Liz, I truly enjoy these vlogs. They are inspirational and so fun. I enjoy seeing the bible verses...it appears as though that is a daily practice and reflection on the book for you. That is inspiring as well as your drawings. Merci.

I really enjoyed watching this! It was relaxing and inspiring. I just started plein air painting and sketching within the last year and it's been the most enjoyable experience. I definitely get the shyness in crowded areas, but trying to get over that!

This is fantastic, Liz. Nice to see a bit of Australia and follow you as you fit sketching into your busy schedule. I continue to be amazed at how you integrate your pen and your brush, going back and forth while doing a sketch.

Oh thanks Larry!! I really love the flow of alternating...it took a while to achieve it (paint first is the way to go) but now it is instinctive

Thank you, Liz! It is SO beautiful and inspirational to see you "at work", how and when you manage to sketch, your comments and thoughts. And, not least, it is so nice to get to see a little bit of the places where you live! That's what I love about sketching: seeing parts of our wonderful world through the eyes of sketchers from all over the planet. Thank you again, for being so generous in sharing your journey on this Earth through your wonderful sketches and your unique ability to communicate! :-)

Thank you so much for this beautiful Vlog. We used to live in Sydney for over 15 years and now retired in Tasmania. With my health and age, the weather is much too cold for me to sketch outdoors. I used to sketch in the street in Hong Kong in 1970s and love this. I now pick up sketchbook again so it is so wonderful to find you. Love to see your weekly sketches and the video of Sydney, it is very nostalgic.🙏🏼👍🏼❤️📓✍️

Thanks for the Vlog, Liz. Always great to share your experiences. Yes, a lot of the time I'm put off sketching by worrying about what people will say about my work but the more I do the more I improve and this helps me dare to set down my stool in the outside. I've been following you and taking your courses for nearly a year now and once again the cold weather is upon us in Europe, which is another constraint to outdoor sketching making me realise I need to get out more in the rare sunny episodes we may now have until Spring comes around. Very envious of the Australian climate!
@LizSteelArt
@LizSteelArt 7 лет назад
thanks Skass Kass - yes the winters must be tough. We really have no idea what it would be like. And yes, we do spend too much time worrying about what other people think! Hope you can find a nice cafe or two with good views this winter!

Sketching on location can be nerve wracking but overall I find people are more amazed than anything. They just want to look at my drawings and watch me draw. It boosts your confidence. I understand the feeling strange thing when doing selfies. Worried that people will think I’m insane. Lol Loving your sketches btw. Beautiful work. Loved you huge 11 x 14 sketchbook and love the idea of adding extra notes in blue. I loved how you said that the conversation gets encoded into the sketch. It’s so true!

I've been tempted to join in with the Urban Sketchers in Tacoma, WA but feel so intimidated! Anyway, thanks again for the vlogs. It is so encouraging to see your imperfect, lovely sketches. :)

I ADORE your vlogs!! I really love seeing the architecture and the urban landscape - everything so different from where I am, it makes me travel (I'm in montreal, canada). Seeing you draw also is very interesting and inspiring, i love how you mix drawing and painting sometimes like when you did the dome you put paint first! And love hearing about your thoughts on sketching and throughout the day!! looking forward to the next vlog!

I loved this video! Very inspiring. I admire your work ethic and the way you challenge yourself. My main take away from this video is to carry my sketch bag with me and to take advantage of the little bits of spare time I have to do a quick sketch. The answers to your questions you asked at the front of the video are "Yes" and "Yes". I have a question...how many cups of tea do you drink in one day and do you have a cut-off time when you stop drinking tea? I've been wanting to cut back on my coffee intake and substitute tea. Hope that is not too personal. The coffee habit is from pulling too many all nighters in the design studio to meet a deadline. Thanks for sharing.

i loved this early vlog Liz. Your sketches are so generous and well done-remarkable every time I see one! I see you write on each page a quote from the Bible, and I am curious about this lovely touch? Would you write about it plse if it's not too personal a question?

@franny1564 7 лет назад
Uhh I loved this Liz! So happy to hear that you're planning on doing more vlogs! It is just fascinating to see what an independent artists day looks like! :D Keep them coming! Oh and to answer your question: Yeah I'm terrified of sketching in public! I always expect people to think of me as some weirdo and to judge my non-existing skills.. xD And I too hate to take selfies in public or any pictures to be honest ;) It's great that you're facing your fears and that you get out of your comfort zone! Keep going! A friend of mine once said to me: Life begins where your comfort zone ends. I'm trying to implement this into my life a little more :)
@LizSteelArt
@LizSteelArt 7 лет назад
thanks for the comment! The fear of the selfie (being too close to a camera) is similiar to sketching in public. Worrying about what other people think. It never gets easier unless we just start!

I was interested to see you use the dagger brush, which I think is one from Rosemary and Co, and seems to be relatively stiff. I have one made by Princeton and I find it to be far too floppy, rather like a mop.
@LizSteelArt
@LizSteelArt 7 лет назад
Hi Tony - I LOVE the Rosemary series 772 half inch. More about daggers here www.lizsteel.com/swords-and-daggers/ If the hair length is too long I find them too floppy too, but this brush is perfect for me!

Thanks so much for this, Liz! I love the encouragement these vlogs give me. I am slowly working my way through your Foundations course and loving it. Would you consider doing a vlog about these daily Bible verses that I see on your pages? Or is there a blog post that talks about them?
@LizSteelArt
@LizSteelArt 7 лет назад
thanks Gary and so glad you are enjoying Foundations. Hmm, good question, I don't think I have ever done anything specifically about my Bible verses. They are what I read each morning. I wrote about the compostional layout here www.lizsteel.com/trip-prep-sketchbook-strategies/

Hi Liz! I'm loving these vlogs, and seeing your daily sketchbooks is amazing! I don't mind sketching in public so much - but then, I'm already used to doing other things in public (knitting, practicing the ukulele) that people might consider slightly odd. Would you mind sharing what that blue bag is you're using?It shows up at around 08.30.Always on the lookout for a good bag... ;-)
@nette8342
@nette8342 7 лет назад
great vlog Liz, I have a problem sketching in public but I am getting better at it, the funny looks I got one day standing a tree.... but I was able to get pasted it. My question is how do you sketch when you are with your friends, are they artists or do they do art journalling too so they understand or do they just chat while you sketch. I would like to do that too but my confidence is a problem but not only that I don't know how they would react to me sketching too. How about a vlog on you sketching with friends :)

Awesome! I also enjoy seeing your bible verses. Your skill at capturing a subject is phenomenal! Do you prepare your pages ahead of time with the verses then paint on them later? Or do you sketch then write the words around the picture? Also how do you choose your verses?
@LizSteelArt
@LizSteelArt 7 лет назад
Thanks Paige, I write the verses during my morning reading time each day and then design the pages as I go during the day. At the end of the day I add text and the stamped heading.
