This video was designed to be informative, friendly, and accessible for beginner artists interested in nature sketching. The goal was to present each tool clearly while keeping the pacing upbeat and engaging. I edited the video with clean cuts between sections, added titles and on-screen labels for each item and included subtle animations to enhance visual interest without distracting from Susan’s reccomendations. Ending the video with a overlay of clips from Susan’s new art retreat “Inspired By Nature”, that she wished to promote within this video. The final edit successfully introduces viewers to sketching tools clearly, inspire them to start sketching with confidence and slowly advertise the upcoming sketching retreat, hosted by Susan.
