Episode 70: Introducing…the SketchPocket!
This is just a once-off episode to bring you up to date with my brand new sketching bag that’s just going into production now. I would love to do more podcasts but all my creative energy odd going into YouTube and my wonderful students! I h
Episode 69: The 23rd Rendezvous du Carnet de Voyage: A Trip To The Heart Of France
I went to France for four days to attend the famous travel sketchbooking festival that is Rendezvous du Carnet de Voyage. I wanted to broadcast from my hotel room each night but it was way too intense for that! So this is a day or two after
Episode 68: Spring Has Sprung - and it’s time to take a break!
This is it folks - for now, anyway. Editing YouTube videos takes FOREVER so that’s where my creativity is going at the moment - why not join me over there, and subscribe to my channel? I give you at least two videos a week to keep you from
Episode 67: My Kit and Kaboodle - And Have I Found The Reuben Solution?

Episode 65: The Luck O’ The Irish
In this week’s episode, I invite you along with me as I sketch some of the lovely St. Patrick’s Day decorations bedecking the streets of Galway. I talk about stealing strangers’ likenesses (ie. sketching them) on the train, and how fun that
Episode 64: Jeff And The Onions
This week I wear the ear off a very nice man from the US who is interested in the connection between landscape and the artists who are inspired by it. That was fun. I also took part in the 100 people challenge! I tell you about them because
Episode 63: Paint First, Then Draw After
Listen, it’s that time of year again, March 6-10th, when the Draw 100 People challenge comes upon us once more. I’m going to do my best, which may not be great seeing as I live in the middle of nowhere! Also: I’m flooding YouTube these days
Episode 62: I’m An Art Farmer
In this week’s episode, spring has sprung in Co. Galway and it’s good to be alive. I’ve been gallivanting along the country roads going about my job as an art farmer - harvesting beautiful scenery in my sketchbook to serve to you, fresh at
Episode 61: Capricious Colour in Café Sketching
This week I take you with me to the 1980s and a happy, crazy, heady year in NCAD. At that tender age, without guidance things can change dramatically for the smallest of reasons. Also: good news! I can’t wait to share a happy project I have
Episode 60: The Sketch Therapist Turns One - A Year Of Improved Sketch Life!
I hate the term “being a Karen” because it’s sexist and racist but this week I couldn’t have fitted the cliché better, complaining in a restaurant. Reuben turns seven and has a great day, I turn a year older too and likewise have a super da
Episode 59: Taking My Turn On The Sketch Therapist’s Couch
This episode comes to you from the East Coast, where I’ve been hanging out with my father. It’s been emotional and I am grateful to you for sharing this personal journey with me - a great many of us have experienced the feeling of wearing t

This week’s episode contains scenes of attempted robbery, narrowly avoided infanticide, a dream (nightmare?) of a business idea and some very dodgy party-killing singing!
Episode 57: A Tale Of Two Terriers…oh and Put That Out Please!
In this week’s episode I complain about my leaky dog (again), and see what I’m sure was a sea monster or maybe a seal or could’ve been a seagull. I share how annoying I can be when I want to. Also: if it’s terminally wrong, just turn the pa
Episode 56: From My Perspective…Drawing Complex Lines through Observation
My Thursday sketch session was no fun! Serves me right for eavesdropping, but I was two feet away. Turns out it’s a downer to listen to someone else’s ailments - note to self - but on Friday I recovered with a more fun experience sketching
Episode 55: Alone In The (Entrepreneurial) Wild
In this week’s episode, I compare the challenges of being an entrepreneur to those of a pioneer in the Canadian outback…where you have only yourself and your cunning to rely upon! It makes me wonder how our darling domestic animals would fa
Episode 54: A Beautiful Year…
Between my lovely listeners, my sketching kit and all the unbelievable beauty, I feel very lucky to be here. This week I talk about the path that led me here, and becoming a member of the gym - with my son Paddy, who also happens to be my b

Just a few minutes to greet you on this Christmas morning. A small break follows but I’ll be back to you in the New Year. Have a good week!
Episode 52: Jack Frost Is An Artist - Sketching A Winter Wonderland in Watercolour
It’s been unbelievably cold this week in Ireland and I’ve managed to get out to capture the beauty of the diamond- shining landscape in watercolour, albeit from my car. I also - as is my wont - mull over the vagaries of luck, of artistic su
Episode 51: The Sketch Therapist Is An Œnophile (That’s A Fancy Wino To You And Me)
In this week’s episode I travel the length and breadth of the aisles of German discount retailers to find a glass suitable to sketch a hot mulled wine for you! No success alas but one was had in a hotel nonetheless, the sketching of which I

A bit of a mish-mash today, with some pretty rambling thoughts about France, some tips for painting Christmas cards and some superhero stories about (me) putting the world to right!
Episode 49: Zut Alors…
I spend a further week in the Auvergne but things go poire-shaped halfway through as I catch a terrible virus. Still, the show must go on and I get the job done! At least the locals are lovely…
Episode 48: Planes, Trains & Automobiles - A Bon Voyage?
This week I share the first leg of my trip to Clermont-Ferrand, in the heart of the Auvergne in France where I attended the 22nd Rendezvous du Carnet de Voyage, or the Meeting of the Travel Sketchbooks (sounds so much nicer in French!) Afte
Episode 47: How Art Transcends Our Meat Vehicle: Meet My First Guest!
In this week’s episode I have my VERY FIRST GUEST - drum roll - my sketching companion himself, my son Paddy. We chat sketching and the nature of creativity, and his upcoming driving test! I explain how to capture frosty and sparkly surface
Episode 46: Seeing Ghosts: Adding People to a Busy Scene
A short episode this week - I think I need to catch my breath! But short can be sweet and this week it’s all about capturing those in-the-way folk who come into your frame of view JUST as you’re drawing something…here’s a way around that!

Episode 44: Thinking Ink - PumpkINK, Pen & INK & INKtober!
This week is all about ink: how to use it as a scribbly sketcher and how to use it when you’re coming up with cartoons. I try as best I can to explain how I come up with, and draw, the cartoons I’ve been doing for Inktober, but only you can
Episode 43: Autumnal Leaves On A Sketch Tip Sunday
This week I share lots of tips, including my choice of ten colours if for some reason you weren’t allowed any more! Meanwhile, I sketch some lovely autumn leaves. Also: you could do worse than throw your hand into the ring and join Inktober
Episode 42: Sketching Coffee, Croissants and Comely Cailíní!
This week I share some really top tips on sketching in a café - including capturing those hard-working waitresses - and how to capture the life and magic of an on-location sketch in a final piece, especially for a commission. It’s also the
