Video

Hi Sam! We just got WiFi back after almost 3 months without, and though I was able to watch your last episode, I couldn't comment ( my CZcams app is weird like that sometimes.) SO I'm commenting on this episode even before watching it, because the app is letting me do so 😂 But I know I will enjoy the episode, and I wanted to say hi while I can 🤗🤗🤗

❤❤❤

Muy genial✨

Hi Sam, I did indeed like the format of this video and all of the subjects you filmed were very interesting. I loved the burgundy colour of your Billy pullover and plan to knit myself something for the winter in that colour too. I do not have a television in my house as I find most of what is broadcast contrived and banal. I much prefer to watch Utube while I am knitting or to sew and read books with the rest of my indoor leisure time. I too mostly read fiction - life is too short to read books you do not enjoy, but I also read books on nature and travel. Your family live in a stunningly beautiful part of Italy and you must really look forward to your visits back home. Best wishes for your channel 😊

Where can you get this

So pleased to see your new video Sam, settled down with a coffee and enjoyed every minute! Love the pictures from Italy, definitely like to see more of that. Also loving the books review and other interests. As well of course the knitting. Hopefully the dentist appointment won't be painful, in the mouth or wallet! Have a wonderful weekend ❤

Nice sir 👍🏿🎉

Sam I loved seeing your paintings! I’ve seen some of them in your short videos. I love watercolour and Iam slowly learning how to use them. I really enjoyed the footage from your trip to Italy! It was interesting to hear about what you’ve been reading. It’s very enjoyable always to see what you’re knitting ! Thank you so much for sharing more of your interests and artwork with us as well as videos of your travels. God bless you. I really enjoy your podcasts! Live, Katie from Maine USA.🩷🌹🧶

I have just discovered your channel and loved the variety of creative discussion in your video 😊

Your Billy Pullover is amazing !!! You do such beautiful work!!! I’m not sure what you’re more talented in, knitting or painting. I love your watercolors, one is better than the next, even though you are not quite happy with them. Thank you so much for taking us with you to Italy, that was a very special surprise. Looking forward to your next video.

Sam, I enjoyed this podcast....the knitting, the mountains, and the books. I smiled when you said you heard that life is too short to read fiction. I heard a different take: life is too short to keep reading a book you don't like! Also, I want to wish you luck with the portrait contest. If you make it to the finals, I'll be happy to vote for you.

Your Billy Pullover is gorgeous. That deep burgundy is a spectacular color. Great to hear about your projects, as always. Great to see the scenes from where you live in the Dolomites. I had saved an episode where you showed views of the Dolomite Alps in winter and snow, but now I can't find it. I'm a winter person and suffer in the heat of summer. I look at photos of winter scenes, videos of falling snow, Nutcracker ballets and even listen to Christmas music. Anything just to feel cooler. If it isn't difficult, could you tell me the episode number that has vistas of the snow in the Dolomite mountains? Best wishes for more July!

Welcome Back!!! Luv the Italian Interlude!! Please do more of that! As usual your video is interesting and lovely to listen to.

Nice sir 👍🏿

Sir muj se nahi banta😔

Wow! Really nice painting! Hello from Ukraine!

I have a Lamy and it's faulty, there's something wrong with the ink flow. I was thinking of either getting a TWSBI Eco or the Sailor Fude. Which one do you like more in terms of ease of use? Which one has a better nib? I am scared that if I get the Sailor it will get broken and then I'll have another pen that doesn't work. 😅I do watercolour as well so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What an enjoyable video-- I love watching you express your talent -- and making the picture come into view with such detail. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Sam you are such a beautiful person with soooooooo much amazing talent. I love your watercolor work-- especially the Venice Gondolas-- WOW !!!!!

👌nice your art but my drowning is not good sir 😅

I would love to hear more ideas for knitting for Ukrainian refugees, or for anyone in need. The war on Ukraine continues with all its horror. It would be great to share ideas to put our skills to use in ways that encourage others.

Hi Sam, I'm a huge fan of the straight stitch machines Singer sewing machines. I have a lovely singer 1951. Love it! You might want to take a look at Tin Can Knits "Marshland". It is a well written pattern and a lovely color work circular yoke sweater. Would make a great cardigan. Enjoy!

My art not good 😢you can check

Wow sir😮 nice

Love your paintings definitely need to see more

What is this sir🤔

That’s beautiful Sam. Only an artist could choose to depict a rainstorm in this way.

Thank you so much for all your sharing-- I love your videos!!!!

You have a very relaxed style but there is no doubt about what you have created and it leaves a very pleasing image, which is all anyone can hope for. Well done. ☺

Oh that was neat Sam - to learn how you shade things without making everything grey. I believe I'm going to pass this along to an art teacher I know. Good to see you on my screen!

Oh, wow. I just painted this same image, or a very similar one, just a couple of weeks ago. 😊

Thank you for the helpful review

Nice sir 🎉

Amazing 🧐👍 sir

You asked if we knew about any other fast drying paints. In fact, I do: Sennelier Rive Gauche oil paints. All the colors but titanium white will be dry in one day (if not used too thickly), titanium white will be dry in two days. Sennelier Rive Gauche dries to a satin (or rather matte) finish. You could swap the titanium white with Gamblin Fastmatte white (an alkyd oil paint, but without the nasty smell of liquin). It will have the same matte finish. Gamblin Fastmatte white will dry in one day. There you have it: All your colors will be dry (or almost dry) in one day. It's my preferred way of painting, because you can start your next layer the next day and always paint on top of dry paint. Please know, however, that Sennelier Rive Gauche oil paints are quite opaque, so they aren't the right paint for glazing. But you can paint out your mistakes the next day, as if you painted with acrylics.

Very good,i love strudel its my favourite dessert 😊😊😊
