In this video, I dive into the July ScrawlrBox and its inspiring prompt "To Infinity and Beyond". Using the Derwent Inktense blocks, Derwent waterbrush, and a Uni Pin fineliner, I created a vibrant portrait of Helen Sharman, the first female British astronaut to go into space. ✨ I loved using these supplies — especially the Inktense blocks! (No surprise I already own a few sets 😅) Their intense colour and versatility made them perfect for capturing the cosmic energy of the theme. 🎨 Supplies used: – Derwent Inktense Blocks (6 colours) – Derwent Waterbrush – Uni Pin Fineliner – ScrawlrBox July 2025 Let me know what you created for this month’s challenge in the comments!

These hand-illustrated designs are inspired by the forest — from fungi and ferns to foxes and more — all in a detailed black and white inked style. Each sticker is printed on high quality glossy paper, cut and packed with care. Shopping small truly means the world — every pack you buy supports hours of drawing, testing, printing, and packaging. Thank you for choosing to support artists like me 🖤 ✨ Find me at StationeryFest Friday 26th & Saturday 27th July! @stationeryfest #stationeryfest #stickershop #smallbizlove #foreststickers #blackandwhiteart #shoppingindependent #artistatwork #artreel #stickerpacks #lucylocksart 🎥 Video Description: Short video showing me printing, cutting, and packaging my Forest Friends sticker packs. The stickers are black and white ink-style illustrations of forest animals and plants, printed on glossy sticker paper. You see close-ups of the stickers being cut, stacks of finished packs, and each pack being sealed ready for StationeryFest.

Come along on an adventure into the heart of the Cairngorms — where crisp mountain air, winding trails, and dappled light through the pines inspired a peaceful day of sketching and painting. With my Etchr sketchbook in hand, I began with pencil lines beneath the trees before bringing the scene to life using Schmincke Aqua Drop liquid watercolours and Winsor & Newton gouache from my trusty Go Draw palette. Watch until the end for a little reveal of the final piece 🌿✨ 🎒 Art Supplies: – Etchr Sketchbook @etchr_lab – Schmincke Aqua Drop Liquid Watercolours @schmincke_official – Winsor & Newton Professional Gouache @winsorandnewton – Go Draw Palette @go_draw ⸻ Reel Description: A calm montage of scenic shots from the Cairngorms — forest walks, mountain views, and riverbanks. Clips of Lucy sketching in her Etchr sketchbook and painting using watercolours and gouache. The video ends with a reveal of the finished plein air artwork: a peaceful forest scene full of texture and colour.

Join me for a quiet moment surrounded by nature as I explore the stunning landscapes of the Cairngorms while camping. This short video captures gentle scenes from my walks, before settling down to sketch and paint a tree that caught my eye — its bark rich with texture and its leaves gently fluttering in the breeze. No voiceover, just the sound of soft, tranquil music and the quiet rhythm of creating. 🎨 Materials used: – Etchr sketchbook – Schmincke Aqua Drop liquid watercolour – Winsor & Newton Professional Gouache – Pencil & fineliner for initial sketch This piece started with a simple pencil drawing, followed by a light wash of liquid watercolour, and finished with my trusty gouache palette to bring out the depth, shadows, and highlights of the tree. Thank you for joining me in this peaceful corner of the Scottish Highlands — I hope it brings a little calm to your day 🌿 Lucy Locks Art Links Website/shop: https://www.lucylocksart.com Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/lucylocksart Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LucyLocksArt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucylocksart/ _____________________________________________________________ Filming and editing: Fotocare 3000GLB tripod / Neewer tripod and ring light - https://amzn.eu/d/5BMksYM UTEBIT Magic Arm - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07KS9VVVT/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_YXCDTEGS4YQ3YRJYKRD4?linkCode=ml2&tag=lucylocksart-21 Boom Arm - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08JCG4V5S/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_ETTC7HMDFHRHNHEA2SN9?linkCode=ml2&tag=lucylocksart-21 Camera: Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV - https://amzn.to/4bfVWVm Digital voice recorder: Blue Yeti Microphone - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00N1YPXW2/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_6GPZG0WFDG8FVG24Z4HX?linkCode=ml2&tag=lucylocksart-21 RODE Wireless GO II Single - https://amzn.to/3SDSj4k Editing: Premier Pro/I-Movie *all links are affilliate links - no extra cost for you, but can give me a little help! #pleinairpainting #cairngorms #gouachepainting #natureart #etchrsketchbook #aquadrop #winsorandnewton #pleinairgouache

Is Bob Ross Liquid White Really Worth It? Or Should You Just Make Your Own? In this video, I’m putting the iconic (and pricey!) Bob Ross Liquid White to the test to see if it’s really worth the investment — or if a DIY version can do the job just as well.

Whether you're a beginner oil painter or just looking to save a bit of money, this video will help you decide what’s best for your painting style and budget. 🎨 Products tested: ✔️ Bob Ross Liquid White ✔️ DIY alternative (I’ll show you how!)
