- In this video I share with you my recently finished Moleskine Sketchbook. It's a large sketchbook, A4 in size and I began using it back in 2020. I have tended to use this mostly for outdoor sketching, so apart from a few pages at the beginning that is what you are most likely to see.
This is a long video as I describe in detail each page, and let you know what materials I use. So make sure you're sitting comfortably and have a warm drink in hand to go through this sketchbook with me. If you'd like to just see a quick flip through then use the chapters below.

I LOVE YOUR WORK IS LOOSE AND EXPRESIVE AND YOU CAN SEE THE DESIGN ELEMENT AND LOVELY USE OF COLOUR
Thankyou!
Lovely video, so nice to see all the drawings and your voice is always so soothing. One thing I’d love to see are some more process videos of you drawing, it’s always so interesting to see how others use their materials ☺️
Best treat to save for Sunday 😊
I would love to see you reach 10k by the end of the year too Mel! I promise to like and comment on every video you upload till then. Love your sketchbook xx
Thankyou that's very kind of you!
So talented❤
Such a great tour! Thank you 😊 I cannot wait to receive my calendar ❤
Thanks Josyan! Should be with you soon x
Wow❤ so beautiful.
Love your sketches Melanie. I am a beginner but I'm hoping to take your wildflower class!!!
Thankyou and that would be wonderful!
Just watching this triggered memories, my nanna had a tamarisk tree in her garden and hearing you say ‘mizzle’ I’ve never heard that outside of the north east. This has also made me want to re-visit all my Derek Tange books, I’ve never visited Cornwall but it’s always been a dream to ❤
Wonderful to hear. Thanks for watchin.
LOOKING AT THE COLOUR PALETTE YOU USE I THINK YOU WOULD ENJOY GRAPHY TINTS AND THERE PAINT BOX SEEING HOW MUCH YOU LOVE TEXTURE
The most beautiful part of sketchbooks are the memories. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, certainly that's what I think too!
I enjoy your videos so much, thank you!
I'm so glad!
Nice video, very beautiful sketches!!😍
Thanks Blanca 😊 🙏
Gorgeous paintings Mel. I really love your Mullion house on a hill, when you first tried out the apricot Ecoline, beautiful light and shadows on the roof!x🤩
Thanks so much Jessica! That was certainly an enjoyable one to sketch 😄
Your sketchbooks just make me smile. ☺️. Thank you so much for sharing your work; it is always inspiring.
My pleasure 😊 thanks for watching
MELANIE, YOU INSPIRE ME. THANK YOU. BEAUTIFUL WORK
I love starting my morning watching one of your wonderful videos.
Thanks so much
I have lived in Cornwall since I was 14 and I am now 53 and this was beautiful to watch. It just warms my heart how you have captured each drawing … I had to watch this twice as I loved your work so much. I will most definitely buy your calendar Mel, you are such a talented artist. ❤️⭐️🌸
Aw that's so lovely to hear, thankyou for saying 😊
Way cool!!! You live in a lovely place. You paint lovely landscapes
Gosh, this is so relaxing. Thank you, Mel! I needed that today. :) Your work is beautiful and it's lovely to hear the stories behind the pieces.
Glad to hear Natasha and enjoy you time in Suffolk.
Lovely video and beautiful sketches, this is so relaxing and nice to view at the end of a long day, thank you Melanie.
Thanks so much and glad to hear 😊
Lovely sketchbook pages! I just love your landscapes - they are so whimsical and fun!
Beautiful
So fun! I especially love you interior of the air b&b. Great detail.
thank you so much for sharing. So very lovely and sincere. Enjoyed very much. xx
So far I’ve watched the flip through and it’s such a powerful collection of drawings. Congratulations on a brilliant sketchbook. ❤ I think your confidence really shines through in the compositions and gestural marks and I love it!
Thanks so much
Your art is so beautiful and your videos are a true joy to watch 👌 ❤ I visited Cornwall in September and took so many pictures to use as references for my drawings. Cornwall has such an inspiring landscape; especially the Lizard Peninsula.
Oh thank you Megan. Yes, so many beautiful views to sketch hope you continue to be inspired by your photos.
I enjoy watching your channel at the end of the day your art work is amazing and the stories that go with the sketches are wonderful
Thanks so much and glad to hear.
Beautiful sketchbook!
Beautiful sketches ❤
Beautiful art in your sketchbook! ❤
I love sketchbook tours and this is a good one. Probably my favorite is the indoor kitchen at 4:34 but there are too many good ones to choose from. Well done and keep up the great work! :)
Thanks so much. I do like that one too!
Thanks, Mel. Its always interesting to see the development throughout a sketch book. Beautiful work. You've inspired me to give Neo II colours a go and I'm enjoying them so far, although they are messy if you hold them in your hand whilst working. 😂
I have received your 2023 calendar and Godrevy Snowdrop Jug painting and love both. Thank you again.
Thanks Christine! And wonderful to hear your package has arrived in Australia safely 😊
That was really lovely Mel. Your style has definitely developed since then so that’s fascinating to see. I have the Lyra crayons and really like them and wondered why you switched to Neo colour 2’s?
I found that I couldn't buy them in in singles and so I switched to Neocolor gradually replacing like for like.
Lovely sharing your sketchbooks with you. I so wish I could get your 2023 calendar in the US. You don’t sell through Amazon, do you? Thanks for the beautiful glimpses of Cornwall!
Thankyou! I do ship my calendars to the US Just through my online shop here www.melaniechadwick.co.uk
Hi Melanie, how lovely to find you!! I’m in Cornwall too. This is my embroidery crafting channel. I started a new channel for my art called Kim Thane’s Art channel. I must get back into it but I’ve been so busy painting for the different galleries around cornwall. Subscribed. 😊
Thanks Kim, nice to meet you. Sounds like you're juggling a few creative hats too!
Hi Mel, very absorbing video. Thank you for all your efforts to produce top quality output....your videos are a great balance of art and local interest. I love your work and I'm trying to develop a similar style, although I try to combine watercolour with coloured inks from Diamine. They produce such vibrant saturated images.
One thing I'd like to ask; in this video you mentioned several times that you weren't happy with certain pictures. In future could you say why? It would be very interesting. Keep up the great work!
Thankyou! Noted and I will try to, but sometimes it's hard to put a finger on exactly why, and sometimes it can be down to how I feel at the time. I can be a harsh critique of my own work.
Fabulous artwork and sketchbook
You'll easily get 1000000 subscribers.
Keep your eyes on the prize (as my mammy says)
:)
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful sketchbook! Can I ask if you treat your sketchbook pages with a fixative?
Thankyou! I don't use a fixative but use scrap paper in between the paper pages.
@@MelanieChadwick thanks :)
Lovely sketchbook. I liked hearing about the experience, but your remembering uneasiness at being out and about is very triggering. Healthy people should never have been quarantined.
Thank you. Yes it is quite shocking to think about it really and the fear that was spread. Sadly I'm sure the repercussions from that time will be felt for years to come.
