Here I am in Lanzarote, trying to stifle the tears that fall like rain when your kids grow up and go on to exciting new pastures. All three kids are grown now and are sometimes home, sometimes not...and it's all heartbreaking, unless you have someone to whisk you away somewhere wonderful to distract you!
And so we're in the Canary Islands and it's just glorious. The Cactus Garden in the north of the island is beautiful - I love cacti and agaves of all kinds - and our visit there provided the perfect excuse to film my SketchPocket in action.
The SketchPocket has:
- fountain pens (I use fude pens)
- water brushes
- paint boxes (X2 in my case)
- white gel pens
- ink refills
- A6 sketchbook
...and lots of other bits and pieces that you can't travel without, like a phone pocket and somewhere safe for your passport and bank cards, but this video isn't about them. It's very simply about doing the whole video, start tp finish, standing up!
I hope you enjoy this video: I could have finished the sketch a bit more thoroughly but I was gasping for a cup of coffee! So fuel up before you launch into an on-location sketch session...
SketchPocket should be available from Spring '24 and I hope to have a pre-order once I kow the delivery schedule, so do make sure to like and subscribe - not forgetting the notification bell - to be amongst the first in the world to have one. There has been an unbelievable level of interest so don't be disappointed.
See you next time!
