  • Camping in the wild to paint watercolours

    I spent a beautiful two days in Björnö nature reserve back in June. I used my new hammock to sleep between two trees. I got a good night’s sleep and did some great sketches the following day.

  • Painting Outdoors in Ploubazlanec

    It’s episode number 14 and this time I am in Ploubazlanec in Brittany, France.
    My wife grew up here and I am lucky enough to visit this magical place once a year. I always find it inspiring. While my wife spends time with her wonderful Mum I walk around Ploubazlanec and neighbouring Paimpol looking for something to paint. I have a lot of time to myself but I also find time to be social plus enjoying the local food and the great hospitality.
    I hope you enjoy the video, comments are always appreciated.

    Cheers,
    David

  • Watercolour Demonstration Ep.11

    From the Finnish archipelago, Ep.11

    Here is my latest demonstration video on YouTube. I spent a whole month sailing around the Finnish and Åland archipelagos with my wife and two close friends. I spent lots of time sketching and taking reference photos for future use. While on the island of Ekskär in the Finnish archipelago I managed to do a demonstration painting which is featured here. The day was incredibly warm and the windbreaker I had behind me made it super hot because it stopped any breeze reaching me at all. It did protect me from the harmful sun rays though.
    The painting was a real challenge in the end, I could not get into a comfortable position, I was sitting which I now realise isn’t ideal for doing demonstration paintings. Ah well, lesson learned – next time I will stand which will make filming so much easier.
    I hope you enjoy the video, I am happy with it even if I seem to be moaning at bit. Ignore me and watch it, let me know what you think.
    Cheers,
    David

  • Plein air watercolour demonstration

    I am happy to publish my latest watercolour demonstration. I have been frustrated by how long it has been taking me to produce this videos but now I think I’ve found a format that works. By works I mean that they are easier to film and produce. I hope you find this demonstration both inspiring and educational. If everything goes to plan I will be producing these videos more often in future.
    We are sailing north of Sicily at the moment, this video was filmed in Salina, one of the seven Aeolian Islands.

  • Meldrum Art visits Singapore

    It took a while for me to complete my third YouTube video. I could write several pages of text explaining why but I won’t.
    I had a great time in Singapore, watch the video and see how I got along.
