Watercolor CLOUDS ✶ Taking plein air inspiration back to the studio

Sarah, this video production is absolute perfection. Such a balance of so many beautiful things, including you. It is an honor for me to watch your content, be a supporter, and patron of such skill, talent, perseverance, consistency and passion for life. Thank you so much for creating beautiful things to share with all of us.

That landscape... wow I got goosebumps even watching it on a computer screen. I also have these kind of moments when I am just so in awe of everything in front of me that I want to paint it, but also not miss it. However, the moments I paint are more vivid in my memory after and the more I paint on location the more I notice I start to take in the world differently even when I am not painting.

So refreshing to see fellow “appreciate nature deeply types.” My poor family gets so tired of my comments on the way the sun hits a tree or whatever else! True to this video I think taking a class helps me get back into my flow state or back to painting in general. I get too hung up on what to paint or wanting too much for a painting to be perfect etc. I find taking a class cuts those things out until I can get back on track/winter ends. Amazing landscapes as per usual girl!!

Life has to be so enjoyable & satisfying when you can find beauty in the simplest of things. Thanks for sharing this video

I love to watch your video’s. They always want me to start painting or drawing no matter how tired I am. Thank you so much for your video’s.

I am very new to water color at age 75. I followed along or tried to on painting number 2 on a post card scale size, was too small. I had the “ Let’s see what happens” experience. All is not lost, as I will do it again on a large watercolor paper. I went back in today and used ink to draw in the castle ruins. You are so very encouraging and love your videos, Update, I have a reminder note on my art desk by some famous artist, forgot who. It says “ Don’t wait for inspiration. It comes while one is working.”

I love hanging out with you, Sarah. Your videos are so well done. Beautiful camera work, great lessons, pure inspiration. Thank you for sharing with us. Absolutely spectacular!

Emotional impressions are important....and good for the soul...

I don't think I have "flow state" yet. Still starting out, trying to move past the "just do it!" These are SO beautiful!

Thank you, Sarah! For me, the flow state comes when it comes. I can't explain what happens. But I do know when I am NOT in it. If I'm tired or painting because I have to or some such, I struggle so much more. But I'm trying to honor those times too. I think that's the hardest thing. Honoring my worst painting as much as my best.

Hi, Sarah! I came across your channel looking for videos on creating your own palette, but noticed you were based in Scotland so had to keep watching other videos. I just made my first visit to Scotland a couple of weeks ago, and my life is forever changed. Your videos are gorgeously produced, so thoughtful, both in thinking about all nature has to offer us, as well as made me contemplate how painting truly is a way for us to reflect on the beautiful things of our world, and how we can be more whole and more human by simply noticing. Thank you for being you. I can’t wait to watch more! I am touched. Warmly, Ashleigh

With your recent great news (visa) your new adventures and all the beautiful things happening in your life, seeing you with that beautiful rainbow and amazing sky. I thought; Wow how appropriate another sweet reminder of the goodness the Father gives. I am so happy for you!

Thanks Sarah for your video content Love your watercolour and gouache works. ❤❤❤ and sharing your travels in Scotland. So inspiring to me!! and others. I have problems with my hands so can't text much anymore. Used to paint water, sky, rocks, and trees in Ontario canada lakelands in acrylics but loved the outdoor studies the best. Was so inspired by short trip to Scotland years ago... so I am so relaxed and happy watching you on YouTube!!! Thanks again and take care of your health!! 😊❤

Sarah, I know that you are building and managing a business. I know that the videos, photos and paintings are your bread and butter...but I truly hope that you can put all of them away from time to time and just "BE" all there and drink all of the beauty in for yourself, for Sarah. Sarah and Wolfie, holding each other and making beautiful memories and bringing them into your heart and allow them to heal you and equip you for your future. I truly believe that once an artist FEELS and EXPERIENCES and brings all of that beauty inside of them that their work is an overflow that comes bubbling forth from the heart. That is where the difference is between a very good painting and a masterpiece that takes the breath of the observer or client. Sending you my Love ❤️. Quiet

Love all the paintings Sarah! What I do to find my flow state is I listen to music it helps get me going and sometimes I want to silence the world and thats what helps me. Keep up the grate work👍

Thank you soooo much for sharing this beautiful, beautiful landscape! OMG! Stunning ❤❤❤

Love the ear muffs. Very fashionable!

Once I began meditating in earnest, I found it much easier to enter flow at will. ❤ painting ALWAYS gets me there

So beautiful and flowing. Each painting makes me want to paint. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing. I just get the paints out, put colors down and then doodle to what shapes I see in them. Sometimes I see flowers, animals, clouds, trees, etc. It helps with the neuro condition I have just seeing the flow of water, colour mixes and drawing neuro lines. Though passion is to be able to paint landscapes will get there eventually, for now, just love watching your amazing work and enjoy others who share your skills so unconditionally. Thank you. Very grateful 🙏

Ah, quite the conundrum. It is spectacular!
