As we’re easing in Autumn here (if you haven’t read this, here’s a blog post: 25 Ways to Celebrate the Arrival of Autumn), today in this video I’m sharing the takeaways from my recent trip to Italy, along with a flip through of my small Royal Talens travel sketchbook, which I purchased very last minute before I travelled. I sketched with ochres and pinks and reds but what I’m remembering is the blue!!! And now I have so many ideas of how I could develop a collection of work with those colours, I just need to get painting!!
In the second half of the video, I’m sharing what I brought back from France. You can see clips from my travels and sketchbook pages in the previous video. September is such a great month for that back-to-school feel of stationery and treats. In this video I talk a bit about the snacks that are so nostalgic to me. Do you have some too? I’d love to know, when it comes to mid afternoon snacks, do you like candy and sweets, cookies and biscuits? Or are you more of a fruit kind of person?
