Hey guys How are you this morning? Why am I upside down again?  I thought I figured this out last time Am I upside down for you guys or am I right side up upside down? Okay? I'm gonna try not to make y'all real sick, but I'm gonna switch the camera around hold on See if it makes a difference.  It's probably an update issue I didn't make any difference did it? It didn't we yeah, thanks. Hey, Art Sherpa. Yeah, it didn't make any difference. I'm still upside down You know, there were like I didn't even look to see what apps updated last night, but there were eight or nine updates last night So sorry about that. We'll have to Work with it the way it is. I will Flip the picture around I'll flip I'll flip the picture around when I put it up on YouTube You really want me to change it around or just leave it. It's okay. All right So here we go. So we're gonna do a fish today. So we're gonna use a couple of art.  I've got a cough drop in my mouth actually It helps control the cough the coughing in them. You cuz that's probably TMI this morning. Anyway We're gonna work on this fish and we're gonna work on a Stand on your heads Aaron. You're so funny We're gonna work on a couple of different techniques to do this fish I've gotten one of my books out here and I opened it up to this picture of this flying fish It's called a spot fin flying fish. Good morning So I thought he was interesting so that we would do him and I've got one that's kind of ready to go here that I've already done my sketch on and I've done a little bit of a Background and I'm gonna show you guys how I did that I wanted to do it ahead of time because the background takes a little bit of time to dry and there's really no way to speed it up So we're gonna put that to the side And grab our pencil and I'll explain what this is As we go along Yeah, I love the orangey reds. He's got some really pretty dark colors in here You could use a brown you could use of course pains gray I'm wondering what violet would look like is the dark shadow color in this fish Paint a butt. Okay, seriously You know two seconds in we've got somebody wants me to paint a butt at least they didn't ask to see my boobs this time block He's gone. Yeah, so if you guys see somebody like that if you can block them, that's great if you can't Let me know I'll try to catch them All right, so the first thing that you want to do is if we want to just do our sketching To get our basic shape and layout on here and again, you want to just do light pencil strokes You don't know digging any holes to China with your pencil. Yeah trolls trolls are everywhere All right, so the first I'm gonna start with his head here. I'm gonna make sure you guys can see him there we go if you don't have any like books of You know animals then, you know, you definitely can Go to the library, but you also can And I'm gonna zoom in just a little bit. Let's see You can definitely also There we go Go to Pinterest. I love Pinterest Okay, so I'm going to Put his head in and you definitely can do this by just making shapes So his head's kind of a funny shape so I'm gonna something like that not quite a Circle and I'm gonna put his little eye right here I'm not sure if it's another eye or a mouth or but there's something right here another piece of anatomy So we're gonna kind of sketch that in Then we've got this sort of long teardrop for his body And again, we're just doing a light pencilly sketch. Yeah We're gonna start to put some of his fins in the first one over here starts about right there and again We're using the book for inspiration. I Don't expect you to copy it completely and You guys have watched me long enough to know that when I'm doing these if it, you know My image runs off the page unlike the one in my reference photo or reference book. I'm not so concerned about that I'm gonna put in the other There's a fin in the back here. I'm gonna just put that much of a line in Yeah, I definitely can So normally I wouldn't do it this dark But you guys are having trouble seeing I don't want you to do it this dark do it lighter This is not a stabilo. This is a Faber-Castell Jumbo to be pencil. I like it because it is Nice and fat and when my hand my arthritis is bothering me it's easy to It's easy to hold on to and Definitely if you're somebody who really is concerned about drawing to exact scale This is probably not the way to sketch for you. You probably want something that's a lot more precise I am I'm more interested in an artistic impression usually Then I am drawing exactly to scale And I kind of like the fact that he's kind of running off the page here and that his his Other fins are not gonna actually all be on the page Yeah, I love this pencil and it you know, especially for those of us who have you know issues you have any issues with your hands And as we get older we do Then this big fat pencil is really easy to hold on to I know there's lots of like attachments You can stick on your pencil, but this is easy easy for me Okay, so once you have your sketch then we want to work on The background because the way that I did the background on this one Takes a while to dry and yeah, there's lots of fish on Pinterest. So definitely go to Pinterest and You know just put in fish and see fish pictures and see what pops up and use one of those for inspiration Now I'm going to put some water on here. And as you notice I Evidently this brush was a little dirty because the water is clean And I guess I didn't clean all the paint off of it because you notice the little bit of yellow that's on there That's all right. We're going to go with that I've got some light blue here in the lid of my palette and I'm going to just use what's on here For this picture. I don't want the color to be very dark. I want it to be light But the darker the pigments are the paint is when you do this the more that it It shows up. We're going to make it grainy. I'm going to put some green I did blue and green in the other one. This is coming out more yellow because evidently there was some yellow paint on this big brush You want to get the page really wet if some goes into the fish. I'm not so concerned about it. It did in the other one, too Then This is just plain ordinary like generic table salt In fact, this is Albertson's brand and we haven't had an Albertson store in my area of California In like ten years, so I've had this thing of salt for a while. This is a royal langnickel one inch flat Zen brush I got this on clearance at Michaels They were having a big clearance and it's actually I think it's actually an acrylic brush But I like it for doing washes and watercolor. I don't remember how much I paid for it But I'm pretty sure it was clearance either at Michaels or I'm pretty sure it was Michaels Okay, so I want you to just get some table salt ordinary plain old table salt And you're going to sprinkle it where you have all the water and the paint. Yes, this can be messy Too much salt.  So you guys are gonna be able to see all right So as this dries the salt's gonna hey Hey, Allie the salt's gonna pick up some of the pigment and it's gonna leave a grainy texture and I'll show you The one that's dry So this is the one that's dry But I did yesterday and Can you see like here this way? No this way Oh boy There we go by my finger the grainy texture there in the paint That's from the salt when the salt dried it picked up some of the pigment and it left this grainy texture in the paint And it's just gonna give this kind of watery watery Watercolor background of this fish and it really interesting texture and give him some extra life Now I have salt all over my table All right So now I'm gonna take some smaller brushes because that one is too big and we are going to wet our Pallet of paint Hope you all are having a good week You're having fun playing with your watercolor paints. I hope all right I'm gonna use kind of a medium round medium for the ones that I picked This is a Princeton select round number four and I'm gonna start with New Gamboge Which is this one here and I'm going to referring to my picture of my fish I'm gonna Start with you know my lightest color Work my way darker because unlike acrylics. That's what you want to do I'm gonna lay in some pigments If you have any parts of the fish that you want to leave That you want to be white you either have to leave them white Or you have to go back and add Chinese white or you can add Sometimes I go in with a gel pen So I'm gonna lay a bit of pigment and then I'm gonna just come in with this is just water And I'm gonna spread my pigment around Started to see a lot of you doing watercolor painting and you're doing fish and birds Good afternoon, and I'm so excited Has everybody seen Cindy's udders two birds on Facebook that she's been doing she did a duck and up I Think a pelican and I think Cheryl haven't you been doing some birds, too And I'm gonna stick with the new Gamboge for for right now when it comes to these fins I want to blend some of this line these lines a bit But I don't want to blend all of them because if you notice in the inspiration photo He has these ridges So we want to blend some of that but not all of it because we want those ridges to be there Yeah, I have to stop buying watercolor paint. I keep saying that but my drawer where I store all my tubes is full I have to stop buying I have to stop it. Hey, hello from Italy Grandmother and grandfather were from Italy, Oriano You're Luca So we're gonna just go around our fish and I'm barely right now barely barely touching the paper I'm I'm referring back to my photo which is off camera because I got want you guys to see more of what I'm doing then I want you to see the photo and I am putting starting to put in some of these lines and then I'm gonna come in with some water I'm gonna blur them just a bit not too much So a little tip or trick if you let your pigment dry just a bit Before you come in with the water It's gonna still move, but it's not gonna move as much and so you'll be able to spread the color out a little bit But you're gonna still have that line and sometimes you want that So let's come over here and let's do the same thing over here And as we're going along, of course, if you guys have any questions, let me know and also When you're doing something like this You know the more water you put on the more it's gonna blend And maybe you don't want that maybe you want it to blend less so then you put less water You also of course can go in with a rag and do some lifting if you get it too dark Water is the big key. You know some watercolor artists will tell you the kind of water you use I use tap water Some artists only use bottled water. There were some big debates about that. I just use tap water He's looking pretty good. I Want to put a little bit of something down here on his tail Not too much because his back fin is in the photo is pretty white You know what would be a fun fish to do is one of those They called angel fish those goldfish with the big big wings All right now. I'm gonna go in with some nickel as nickel as a yellow Geez, I can't speak this morning Which is The sort of golden yellow less orangey a dollar Cooler yellow knows the new gambos is very warm and bright Okay, so we're gonna go in this is where his one eye is and there's a dark spot here There's a dark spot here. I will of course post this up on Facebook It takes me a few days as you all know to get him up there They take a little bit more video editing And if I don't take time with my video editing then we have issues like what happened this morning where I had to take down watercolor Wednesday because there was a video editing error and Fix it It's reloading right now though FYI Cuz you know I hate video editing and I'm honestly I'm not that good at it I can paint you pretty pictures, but don't ask me to do some fancy video editing So again, we're working our way from darker to lighter Right now. We're working with nickel also nickel as a yellow Okay, so once the watercolor is dry, that's a great question Once the watercolor is dry, you can choose to do nothing to your painting Know that that if it gets wet the water will reactivate the paint You can also though Set your watercolor or seal your watercolor just like you would any other painting and the best way to do that is with some sort of a spray like Krylon's workable fixative which you then could work over again with more watercolor or other media Or a matte finish spray or some kind of a spray varnish I would recommend an aerosol because I think you're gonna have an easier time It's drier and it's not going to reactivate the paint I Would let your watercolor painting dry really well for a day or two and make sure it's really really dry before you do any of those There's some really great YouTube videos by different artists out there that Go over how to seal your watercolor paintings. I do recommend it. I have an old It's actually like an acrylic pen and ink and watercolor Piece that was done by one of my aunts when she was in college and it was never sealed I did actually as an adult go back and Seal it in a frame so no oxygen can get in there But the ink started to fade and the watercolor even the You know top-of-the-line brands At some point granted that point may be you know a hundred years from now But at some point they will start to do that, too So you do want to seal it especially if it's something that you really enjoy and that you really want to keep and You want your you know children to keep and all that so I'm just going around with my you know slightly darker color And I'm adding it into You know different spots on my fish. I love using Pinterest for inspiration It's a really great source So I definitely do recommend it Especially when you're on a budget and or you just want to live in your house I mean we'd all love a ton of art books, but you know they take up a lot of space Yes, can you hear the air conditioner come on?  I just don't get it. Thank you for all the hearts. I Haven't switched paint colors yet. I'm still using the one color Okay, he's already looking interesting All right, so now we're gonna go in with another darker color think I Am going to I'm real I'm gonna listen to my instincts and I'm gonna listen to what my Creative part of me is wanting to play with this morning, which is quodachrodone gold now Daniel Smith has two colors of quodachrodone gold Quodachrodone gold and quodachrodone gold deep. We will probably use both on this fish with some quodachrodone sienna And I have no idea if I'm saying that right by the way Probably not So again, we're gonna go in and we're going to Work into our darker spots Yeah, see I'm I'm more of a cold weather girl. I'm happier when it's cold just And you know in California, we don't usually have so many of these super hot days. This is not normal for us So I'm going to blend some of this.   And suggest shapes rather than actually paint or draw them in that's totally up to you and you have to decide as you're painting what you want and You know play play just play and and try it a couple different ways and see what makes you happy Probably blended that a little too much right there I have family in texas I talked to them online. I don't actually I don't I haven't been to texas as an adult I won't say I've never been to texas when I was a baby. I have been a couple times, but I don't really remember too much Only time as an adult I've been to texas was at the airport On my way to germany. Dang it was hot even inside the air conditioning But you know they have jerry's arderama in texas And I'm thinking someday I have to go to texas For jerry to see jerry's arderama. I just you know I think I have to Oh, those of you who are in some of the western united states And I guess georgia I oddly enough If you have an erin brothers art and framing near you and if you're not sure go to their website They're only in a few states including georgia and idaho at texas um, washington, orgin and uh They're having a big sale right now Yeah, there's jerry's in a couple of states So I'm thinking I'm going to have to go on vacation These watercolors are daniel smith my favorite watercolor brand Um, I'm building my palette. They're a little pricey erin's art and framing Cells of course framing supplies, but they are a subsidiary of michael's arts and crafts And they right now are having a buy one get two free canvas sale Along with a buy one get one free paintbrush sale, and I think also their Generic brand of paint is on sale But it's a good time to stock up on canvases and paint brushes because they've got some they carry the princeton select brush So just keep going around your fish with gradually darker colors Referring to your photo to make sure you're putting those darker colors in the right places You know, I've said this before in different videos, but when I'm painting Especially when I'm painting and talking to you all I sometimes lose track of where my shadows are or where my sun is so um I have been known to especially on canvases on my easel to put a post-it note to the side that says sun So that I know which way the sun is coming from and I don't get confused Especially if I paint a little bit and then come back That's what this is. These are out of the tube and then I just let them dry And then I reconstitute them with some water I'm I'm building up my palette. So I'm I need to add some true blues and a couple of reds I want to get some prussian blue in particular and some ultramarine blue and then probably alizarin crimson and Probably cadmium red Those are the colors that are missing out of this palette. I do have my van go palette not too far away in case I decided I need some of those colors so I Am not super picky about my brushes, but I do have to say I prefer synthetics um He's looking pretty cute the Princeton select. I believe is a synthetic brush um, I do have some natural um Bristle brushes. Oh, there's fuzz on my brush Um, and they are nice and all and they hold a lot of water, but they're very expensive um Most of the time when I'm painting with watercolor I am painting with a Around brush about this size about a number four Two a six that seems to be my favorite size Um, I will share with you guys something. I just got um as for traveling in just a minute When I'm painting with acrylics I prefer a filbert brush I do use them occasionally in watercolor, but not as much as I do in um acrylic paint You can get away with just having one Round brush. I would make it a medium size something about this size um Because you can do a lot with that You can do fine points and something fatter by just pushing on the brush a little harder um If you can afford a little bit more, I would suggest Something bigger and flatter like this one inch flat so that you can do washes So that's already looking cute, right? Let's go in with Let's start to add in some reds because our fish is looking a little bit like a goldfish Not that I have a problem with that and we could switch the colors up use some artistic license But let's add something more red into him Um And I think I'm going to use the red that's in the lid of my palette And I think I'm going to just add some catechord on gold deep to it to make it a little bit less crimsony And make it a little bit more orangey So he doesn't turn out to be a really pink fish. Okay. I think that's a good color All right, so again, we're going to start up at the head Now he's got these like spots It almost looks like a heart shape on his head So I'm going to just I'm barely touching the um paper. I'm just using the tip of my brush He's got kind of a spine Line that comes down this way now I'm going to put that on there and then I'm going to get my brush wet with just water And see how that just blends really nicely I'm going to just blend the one side and leave the other side as straight as I can get it Because there is a line down his back in the photograph Now in the photograph This is pretty stark So I'm going to blend it a bit, but I'm not going to blend it too much Yeah, I You know in my crafty days. I did a lot of one-stroke painting. In fact, I have a friend who's um A master one-stroke painter Although she doesn't do it. I don't think too much anymore Um and she's she taught me a lot and it's really fun And I still find myself occasionally using those some of those techniques um For doing leaves and flowers With just a basic flat brush all right, so now we're gonna I'm going to Go and I'm just looking for where I see kind of a darker reddish orange color on my fish in the photograph And again, I'm going to choose to blend some of it But not all of it and you will notice that you get a different effect If you do it on dry paper and then wet it versus wet the paper first and then do this So I encourage you when you're doing these paintings, you know, try both ways and see which one you like better See how you can get thank you see how you can get you know your technique What works for you and each painting will be different and all paintings Have an ugly duckling stage So just keep working the paint. It doesn't matter whether you're working with acrylic Or you're working with watercolor They all have a stage when you think holy crud. What did I just do that is really hideous They do they all do So that's why you should do some of the practice cards because then you get past that point where you're scared Of doing the water first or any of the certain techniques You you just work through the ugly duckling stage until you get something that you like Remember with watercolor unlike acrylic paint, you know, the color is going to stain you can lift it a bit, but it's going to stain Um So it's harder to correct mistakes, but it's not impossible. There's always a creative way around Something that you perceive as a mistake Um, and maybe that mistake happened for a reason because something else needs to go there Now you can always go over your acrylic your watercolor paint with You know white gouache, which is an opaque watercolor um I'm just starting to use some of this darker color as um Kind of putting in the shadows here I'm barely again. I love this brush because it has such a nice point on it and I can just get these sort of lines on here Without trying too hard Yeah, the quidoch would up some colors will lift really really well and some colors won't Some colors have more staining than others so The darker generally speaking For me at least what I found is the darker the color the more it stains the lighter colors lift pretty easily So i'm just going around my fish With my dark red color that I created And I know it's off-camera now Yeah, I like their um Quirochrono yellow. I also like their Hansa yellow Which is a great color The Hansa yellow I own is Hansa yellow medium And generally speaking it seems to be that when I'm buying a color like Hansa yellow Whether I'm buying it in acrylic or watercolor. I seem to gravitate towards the medium rather than the light It's more lemony for me and I can lighten it up With what I can lighten it up with water or of course by mixing it with Chinese white Um, but I like the bright lemony yellow color So you notice I left this for a little bit now. I'm coming in and adding some water It's not going to all blend out, but that's what I wanted The flying fish has these wing like fins So I really want to try to capture that in my in my painting now right out here around his head In the book he's in a um Black background But here we've got the white background. So I'm going to do a little bit of sort of outlining Which is not something I normally do, but you notice I'm away from him a little bit Yes, you can give me a second. Um So that I leave some white There we go And I'm also going to do the same thing down here Again, I'm I love this brush. Like I said, I'm barely touching The paper and then I'm going to go in with some water Towards the inside of the fish And just blend some of those lines in towards the inside of the fish So it blends with that, you know color in his body A bit At the same time he starts to pop out from the page around him. Okay, that's without any super darks in there This is a hundred and forty pound Strathmore watercolor paper. It is the Um Red pad, what is it 400 series? And this is my Daniel Smith watercolor palette. It's in an empty schmink box I'll show you guys real quick and then we'll go back to the fish. We'll let him dry for a second. Um, this is the schmink um 48 pan watercolor box you can actually get 52 pans in because you can squeeze one extra one in each row you notice over here That I've got one empty one and this whole part comes out. You could actually use the whole inside of it to blend Um, and you can't really tell from this too much what the colors are Which is why I always do a color key. We talked about charts on on monday with deco art I always do a color key when I get new watercolor paints You can tell I splattered some paint on here um And this is the these are the colors I own and you can see by looking at it If you know anything about painting that I I've been collecting the colors and I'm Obviously almost complete here, but I need um a couple of true blues and I need a couple of true reds So that's going to be the next thing I buy I have to you know, save up for them because that right there is like 40 or 50 dollars worth of paint so All right, so let's go back to our fish So far we haven't used a smaller brush. We're still using the number four round Um, so now I'm going to start going in some really dark with some really darks And you know, I'm really intrigued by the idea of using a violet And I have this color That is called rose of ultramarine Which and one of the things I love about daniel smith is they have these paint colors like look at this upper pink And then they have moon glow, which is this purpley gray Order yours from jacksons. I didn't know about the ones from jacksons when I got the empty schmig palette If I had known I would not have the empty schmig palette. I would have gotten it from jacksons So we're going to use old rose of ultramarine and then we may use some moon glow too For our really dark parts. So let's do rose of ultramarine first And again Yeah, it's so much cheaper at jacksons even with shipping.  It's tangy Try to think when you're painting about using an unexpected color for your shadow color Just because your shadow color in the picture is a black color doesn't mean you have to use that for your shadow color Think about using a violet or a dark prussian blue That's one of the reasons I love paints gray This dark color see you have to have some darks And and lights or some neutrals to make those bright colors really pop um It's really important Yeah, I love this color. It's one of my favorite daniel smith colors along with moon glow And because it's sort of a You know a reddish color It goes great with the fish I'm just again. I'm going around My fish. I'm using the Photo in my book for inspiration of where to put the colors, you know where the shadows are in the photo Instead of using black. I'm using this dark rose of ultramarine As I said earlier this video will be up on youtube in a few days um It will also be on periscope for 24 hours for playback Um, so you guys can play and you can watch the nice thing about having it on youtube is you can pause I don't know that you can really do that on periscope Because honestly, I've been doing more broadcasting than I have been watching so I haven't I haven't had a chance to watch too many Now you can see that Um, there's a rose of ultramarine.  So we're good with it Not too much It's all right, but I did to be honest. I don't remember Um, I know that I show my schmink palette on youtube um, I did a long video with um, one of my friends and um fellow crazy island family members um Where I actually show this schmink palette my daniel I show almost all my palates Um, but I don't remember if I actually did an unboxing. I don't think I did I I do know there's somebody on youtube that did do one. I don't think it was me Thank you.  So I appreciate that. That was how I caught it because you know I would not normally catch it So we're just we're adding in, you know, our colors We're blending of a bit that we're using the rose of ultramarine by dan We're using daniel smith watercolors this morning for those who are just joining us Oh, they do look at that So i'm gonna go into a few places and i'm going to add in some darker What am I trying to say? I don't know darker um Stripes of pigment especially in the fins Um, that I don't really blend out so much. I may blend them a little bit but To really start to you'll notice that if you do this and you're not, you know, just Kind of smudge them rather than blend them too much It's going to start to give him some really some character make him pop Give him some life now at some point You know, you're going to want to still have the reference photo out But at some point you're going to do what I want to do what's best for the painting Rather than what's in the photo Those are sometimes two different things And remember we're being inspired by the photo. We're not necessarily trying to copy it exactly Oh, thank you so much This fin down here needs some help. So let's see what we can do about this down here I'm still using the rose of ultramarine. I haven't switched to any other colors yet I do think I will but I haven't yet Thank you One thing I do with periscope when i'm broadcasting and when I do watch although I haven't had time lately um And I do with both the ipad and the phone fyi has started doing it When we had that latest that last update that screwed up periscope the facebook. I mean the ios update I go into my general Settings and I turn off the auto lock that makes it go to sleep Um Otherwise I just seem to have nothing but issues That's pretty good. I'm thinking I want to do Let's see I'm going to grab some moon glow and we're going to give it a try The moon glow again is in the probably violet range, but it's a blackish grayish Color i'm going to put it in the darkest parts of our fish Now some water colorists are very anti adding like white gouache to your painting To bring out the highlights if you forget, you know, or you lose the white spots I am not like that. I don't Find I don't have a problem with that I like to add the white But what I usually do is dry my painting first Because I usually want to control the white a lot more than I have wanted to control the other colors Right now I got to be honest with you. I'm not looking at the book that much I'm looking more at my fish and what I think works for him. I'm going to go in with just water now this color moon glow this does stain quite a bit and you can move it around but Um, if you don't catch it right away, you can't move it too much Not really going to also. Let's see. I think that's a complicated question for me Yes and no Um, I like using them when I'm working with like my intense pencils or my stabilo pencils Um, but when I'm painting I prefer A brush like this And to that end for my travel kit. I just got some uh some new Brushes I'll share with you before we go off the air here And they're synthetic For somebody asks Okay, so now I'm going to come in with um, something really dark Probably paints gray Which is almost black. I'm going to put a little bit of that in Which will really make the other color pop Um, my preferred Water storage brush, you know water brush that has the storage in the handle is the pentel water brush Um, the koi aren't bad, but again, my favorite is the pentel Probably because the handle is nice and fat and it's easy to hold Um, so I own a lot of the pentel brushes Uh, I do have a couple of the koi Um, and I like them But my favorite again is the pentel. It's also, um, you know, fairly affordable and it comes in, um, three sizes Um, the koi is nice because it um Comes apart and has that nice plug in the handle for when you're traveling Okay, so his tail is Fairly white. My fish's tail came out fairly dark And I left some white, but some of my fish is a little dark. So this is where you come in with your Chinese white Make sure that your brush is clean and that the water you put in here is from the clean side Of your water.  You know what? Let's dry it first Now let's go in with our white.  You only used it twice and it died. Your heat gun died. Take it back I've had mine a long time. I bought it to do it back when I was still doing, you know as we all were more scrapbooking and greeting cards and Yeah, who knew it was going to be my favorite paint tool I had no idea So I'm adding white highlights Using the book page as inspiration for where those highlights should be Just using the paint brush and the Chinese white to basically just draw some lines on the fish I'm barely touching the brush to the fish so that I get a nice thin line I love the kind of life that the little pop of white gives your watercolor painting It just gives it gives the gives it some life the little pop Yeah, no, you know as I'm always telling my students No digging any holes to china with your paint brush or your pencil I'm just going around and making sure I've got You know highlights where I want them. I think that's pretty good. Blend this one just a bit. I see where I'm waiting I Teach with crazy island university And then just doing this You can go to crazy island university.com. I haven't done any watercolor classes for them yet I'm a little behind in my filming for stand-alones, but I teach with their um year-long journaling crazy island style course I'll never see yours. So there is my fish my flying fish now these are the two New things I got for my travel kit recently now. This is my favorite castel And look at this. It's a portable water pot and it folds up small And these are by mitis touch. These are synthetic Um, these are I know right. These are paint brushes. I know You know, I don't know for all girls here or not this morning, but and there's only nine of us right now Okay, to me they look like tampons It's kind of an odd shape for a paintbrush, but I gotta tell you Look at this I know right so you get a round and that thing is the handles are nice and thick and it's a nice big paintbrush You get a round they're synthetic They're you get a flat there is another set by somebody else that's natural. It's uh twice the price And then you get a filbert And then I have one really small one that came with my Windsor Newton travel set. Um, that is a really tiny A point like this one. And so between the four now these are perfect travel brushes And they just fold up Into the handle. These are called mitis touch midas touch And they come in the set of three With the little holder I can't decide actually if it looks like bullets tampons, I don't know it reminds me of tampons I used to have a little case like this to hold them at my purse Amazon and I'll show you the other brush that I have. I have a spare one. Let's see. Oh, let me get the one So this is my travel paint palette. These are great portable things. This is um Um I travel paint palette and this is the other brush that I have and loving this brush spurred me on to Uh, especially for traveling on to a search for more proper travel brushes I do keep some regular brushes in my kit But sometimes it's nice to just have something tiny that folds up And I did misplace this for a while and I contacted Windsor Newton and asked them, you know, do you just sell the brushes? They said no I honestly think that's a marketing mistake. They should sell just these And while the handle is a little bit short, it has a nice small round tip on it And it folds up really small and fits really well inside the handle So I went to amazon and just typed in travel water brushes and I found these And um, yeah, I love them. So between this one, which is really small And then the three larger ones. It's perfect My bristles were a bit splayed probably from the last time I used it Now it's all nice The only problem with these is you have to be careful how you put the brush end into the handle when you pack it away But most of us are pretty careful. So and then this is a small Same kind of box is the big one. This is the little one that's supposed to hold I think six half six full pans or 12 half pans. I took the insert out Um that came with it and I put my paints in the pans With magnets on the back um And then I could get see and then I could get more pans in here And for my travel set, I have a mixture of coy And daniel smith And this is a good. This is a good Color range selection to travel with because I can just take this anywhere and paint pretty much anything And then I just have this rubber band to keep it closed just in case so when I'm traveling or flying nothing pops open I don't really need it. It's just a precaution So I hope you all give your fish a try and I'm I saw somebody posted they never do figure they never did figure painting Well, I hope you give it a try. Of course, you don't have to start with this do some basics and just do some Experiments where you're not freaking yourself out trying to paint anything, you know, just do like this is watercolor We talked about this in the first episode. Oh good. Good good to know So put that in your like Shopping cart and then wait until the price drops and then then buy it And I could see me wanting another you know two of these because when you're water coloring You want one for dirty and one for clean water and this I mean how handy is this So do some of these practice cards for those of you who are too intimidated to do anything like a fish or a bird And this these are just playing with watercolors what you can get them to do and not do You know blending different colors scratching into the color Playing and you know, I want it we're going to start using one of these techniques in our paintings every week Like today we use the bit with the salt For the background and you can see if you look at the fish, you know, of course He pops out from the background, but there's this interesting kind of watery texture that just lends itself so well to The whole composition and makes it interesting Thank you so much so don't forget to support my youtube channel as well as periscope and You know, I I don't have lots of online classes that I teach except for periscope and youtube But my youtube channel is monetized so I can try to make some money on it and there is a fan And funding something on youtube you have to go look I don't know if you choose to do that you don't have to but you know Go check it out What subject matter next week? I don't know. What do you guys want to paint? You let me know I should stop picking we should start painting what you guys want to paint We can do more birds and fish or we can do something else. Oh, I was going to show you what I was going to do with this See we're not done yet Flowers we can do flowers. So one of the things you can do with your watercolor paints. These are some of my Oh good. These are some of my stamps I have watercolor wednesday playlist on youtube. So we can do flowers next week. Let's do flowers So these are some of my stamps. You can buy them in my etsy shop I stamped them on this watercolor paper with Waterproof ink. This was archival. I think ranger's archival ink And this is hot press and I'm not a big fan of watercolor and hot press paper because I like the texture of cold press um, but If you're going to do this you want to get a nice clear stamped image These are um, okay, so I'll answer that in a minute erin So to get a nice clear stamped image. You don't want the texture on the paper. So I chose the hot press And these stamps are done in deep etched red rubber They come unmounted sheets in sets of there's two sets. They're they come individually in wood mount or individually in clean mount Um now so these I stamped these last night. So this is good and dry And when you have some of your leftover paint or you have to wipe your brush off you can go in here and just like with your other paintings This the ink from the stamp is not going to move But you can color it in with your watercolor paints And get some practice pushing your paint around and seeing what your pigments will do and not do By painting in a stamped image I almost forgot I had these off to the side because you know, I moved them out of my direct line of sight. So Things happen Yeah, we can do a flower and then we can do a feather and so work on Yeah, and we can do we can work on shading So I just laid in some pigment now. I'm just spreading it out with water just like I did before with the fish Hey, you know what if you guys are friends with me on facebook um Either p.m. Me the list of suggestions or make sure you put it on the um video when it goes to youtube Or start a list over in my facebook group Any of those Because i'm only going to remember flower I can tell you that right now So you can just have some fun painting in a stamped image and then you're not pressured To worry about so much about the drawing Yeah, I know you guys like the live so and I know not everybody does periscope But I have so many problems with you stream I and periscope is easy for me. Thank you carol Yeah, one of the ways you can support me and keep me on periscope and youtube is by shopping in my etsy store If you just go to etsy and you type in gina b errands, I should show up Yeah, if you don't belong to the group a life of art and self expression go over and join Will admit you jerry's going to start a list over there and um We will have everybody put suggestions in of what you would like to see Just like with any other watercolor painting you can layer your colors right on top of each other Because they're watercolor and they're translucent And they're you know water activated they're going to blend and mix But that's okay You're going to get these interesting fun You know new secondary colors that you didn't anticipate And some of these suggestions I've done on a taped Version of watercolor wednesday that's already on youtube, but I didn't do it live and I don't know that I gave lots of explanations So it might be good if we're going to keep doing these live lessons to revisit that and do it again And so we'll do that And I'll I'll probably start the video by showing you what I did the first time If I've done that subject matter already But I like to do flowers Flowers and birds I like to do fish too, but I have something with birds right now Remember when you're saving up for your art supplies or you're trying to you know buy art supplies like right now I'm saving up for my daniel smith colors. I'm missing You know use your coupons when you have them save up your money and shop the sales all of your big box retailers Have apps and all of the apps have coupons in them now a lot of the big box retailers For craft supplies don't have tons of fine art supplies, but they have just enough that will make us happy Let's see And I'm going to add a little bit of this turquoise color. I think So you can do these little you know Stamped images you can get some practice color blending and shading And then you can cut them out and you can use them embellishments as embellishments on greeting cards Or tags or in your art journals It's a great way to get some practice Start light and work your way to dark until you're happy Stamp the image in black So that that is always going to show And there you go, isn't that cute? Yeah, you can totally use it for birthday cards or oh, I'm going the wrong way. Totally use it for birthday cards or There we go, thank you cards anything So think about doing something like that too. Don't be intimidated by the watercolor. Just play. That's how I learned I have never taken a proper watercolor class ever Acrylic, yes watercolor. No, I only know from doing A few books couple of dvds. That's it. I recommend Janet Rogers Her husband Steve Rogers and Jean Haynes all of whom have books and or dvds And they're fabulous and they're all expressive watercolor painters and they teach you a lot about color and light All right, I think that's it for this morning guys We're already a few minutes over how long I thought we would be so next week. We will do flowers go over to a life of art and self-expression on facebook and add your suggestions to the list And if you have recommended teachers for watercolor classes online or in person we have a list for that in the group and add the list and put a review with the with the name We would appreciate that because that's one of the things my facebook group is about recommending great teachers to our fellow artists All right, that's it for right now. Everybody have a great wednesday And I will it's on facebook area. It's called a life of art and self-expression and um Everybody have a great wednesday. Have a great week and I will see you all next wednesday here on periscope. Bye

Knock-a-Ball. Over and making whole gates then. For me, I think he could chip it out, but he doesn't just edge it out for a corner. And they get a corner from a position where we should have been putting them on the back foot. They score from that corner. Because of our own making. And so you're thinking, you know, I was gutted, I'll be honest, I was gutted when the goal went in cos I thought they don't deserve a goal. It should have been another clean sheet of gutterson. And it wasn't. And I was gutted. And then I thought, please don't play. I mean, I couldn't believe the referee hadn't blew his whistle when the ball went in to finish the game anyway. But you're thinking, don't give them any opportunity then. Everything. Just share out is dead easy. And what do we do? You know, no professionalism. The manager you can share is, you know, gesturing to the corner. And Dave rolls it back and Delph just flicks the ball up in the air and they go and win a free kick from it, which gives them the opportunity to put the ball in our box. It should have had two men over the ball on the halfway line. These are professional footballers, grown men. They should know how to close a game. It should have had two men on it. Roll it. The old editing 80s kickoff. Roll it or even three. Roll it. One stops it and the other one smashes it into the corner flag and you box the team in. Because then to get the ball from their corner flag up into our box it's going to take one hell of a ball. And we don't. So even if they didn't do that, when Dave has knocked it to Delph, he should have stopped it, played it back to Pickford and Pickford should have fired it forward and the referee would have blew his whistle and he didn't. And we give the goal away from it. They get a free kick, we can't defend it and it ends up in the back of our net when it should not done. I should be standing here now talking about a really good performance another three points, Everton flying up the table, doing really well on the anti-lotty confidence build and I'm not, I'm studying it gutted because we blown again that was ours. We dominated that we should have won by five or six and it's so frustrating because it was avoidable. It was so, so avoidable. Let's finish on a positive. Moise Keane, who people have given stick to some people this season. It's only his fit start tonight but he got his goal, his first goal for Everton and it's a big, big thing. He was excellent tonight. He really worked his socks off. He put tackles in. He was a threat. Scored his goal, you know, a couple of other opportunities. He's had an opportunity that he maybe should have scored in the second half and he's kicked it but he was a threat at the header on target as well. The Brab can make a good save from him first up and he looked a real handful tonight to him and Dominic Halbert-Lewin. I was delighted that both strikers scored a goal and, you know, just really pleased for him because there's something there without a shadow, the strength, the pace is there. If he can just, you know, keep working on his game and getting the right areas, he will score goals for Everton and he'll become a better player and he'll be someone who can add goals in this squad. That doesn't score enough goals. He's the first person this year, as in, you know, or the first person since Duncan took over, I think, to score other than Halbert-Lewin or a charleson. So that's a big thing as well. We need more goals and this team's not enough in it. You know, Bernard should have scored tonight, Yeri Mina should have made it 3-0 headed at wide, you know, and we have to learn to close these games out because otherwise, we won't get where we want to get.  But Liverpool are the best teams, so let's take them to Duncan and walk in it but never have considered those goals. If they considered one, they'd make sure they didn't consider second. The great United teams don't think City, when they're at the best, wouldn't do it. You know, and it's something we've got to learn but tonight Moise Keane, for me, was a big, big plus. And so I wanted to finish on a plus and I thought he was excellent tonight. So let's hope it's the star for him. Let's hope that getting the goal will lift pickers confidence up, show him that he can score goals in the Premier League and, you know, hopefully he'll go from strength to strength. That is it.

The next item of business is a member's debate on motion 1177 in the name of Craig Hoy on Earrington hospital. This debate will be concluded without any questions being put. I would ask members who want to participate to press the request-to-speak buttons now or as soon as possible, or place an hour on the chat function. I call on Craig Hoy to open the debate for around seven minutes, Mr Hoy. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Local health services are a vital part of local communities. That is why it is an honour to be able to open this debate today, because the Earrington hospital is at the heart of North Berwick, one of the communities that I am proud to represent. However, the cottage hospital's inpatient beds and its minor injuries clinic are currently closed. Deputy Presiding Officer, from the outset, I want to stress that I understand the pressures that our NHS is under. In fairness, we need to understand that those pressures are not new and that not all of them are Covid-related. Healthcare staff across NHS Lothian and the East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership are dedicated, but they are overstretched. They want to do the right thing by patients, and I want to thank them for everything that they do. Across Scotland, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to local healthcare provision. The Earrington hospital is a well-used, well-loved service at the heart of our community. For over 100 years, it has served the people of North Berwick and East Lothian. The hospital, constructed thanks to a bequest by Ms Elizabeth Earrington, is operated by NHS Lothian and supported by the Friends of the Earrington hospital, and prior to Covid and its closure, the hospital had nine beds and provided medical care for a range of chronic conditions, mobility problems, rest-bite and end-of-life care. The hospital was staffed by 10 nursing staff, eight clinical support staff and four domestic staff. Fundamentally, the voice of patients has to be heard even during a pandemic, but with no local consultation, on 1 September this year, NHS Lothian announced the closure of the Earrington hospital due to staffing constraints at other facilities. Only last week, it was announced that those services will stay closed for at least another month, with every possibility of its closure being extended further. Six in-patient beds and the staff who supported them have been temporarily relocated from the Earrington to the East Lothian community hospital in Harington. NHS Lothian says that it provides additional nursing capacity and has allowed them to keep 14 beds open at the community hospital in Harington. However, NHS Lothian does not tell the whole story. Writing in the Scotsman, local community practice GP Claire Doldam said that the Earrington was, I quote, a mainstay of local patient care. She added that it allowed us to manage patients closer to home without admission to an already stretched hospital sector. After the hospital closed, I took the decision to undertake a community survey to gauge the views of local residents. I secured the views of 1,929 people and 77 per cent said that they had personal experience with the hospital. 97 per cent of those who were surveyed were opposed to the closure. The community voice is clear. They want the hospital services reopened, and I hope that the minister today will add the Government's voice to the call. The value of the Earrington hospital cannot be measured by NHS managers or ministers on spreadsheets. The hospital provides—I will give way to Mr Woodfield—Maren Woodfield. I'm very grateful to Craig Hall giving way in bringing this very important debate into this chamber today. Would you agree with me that the nuance of the benefit of the Earrington hospital doesn't seem to be able to be reflected in any NHS assessments of the value, which just bases it on number of beds? Craig Hoy. Precisely, and I think that's exactly why so many local residents have been in touch with all members, both from South Scotland and East Lothian, in respect of this, because the hospital provides much-needed high-quality levels of care. Jane from North Berwick told me that my mother spent her final days there. She was so well looked after and, as a former nurse, was happy to be there, unlike her stays at the Royal Infirmary or the Western General. Local resident Linda said, I have used the Earrington since my son was small. The Earrington looks after the community from scrapes to scratches through to respite and end-of-life care. It is our beating heart. Deputy Presiding Officer, East Lothian is the second fastest-growing area in Scotland. Midlothian and West Lothian are growing fast, too, yet health services across the Lothians have not kept pace. Many of the pressures that we see were there before Covid. Had the SNP invested the same levels as the UK Government funding was given to Scotland during Nicola Sturgeon's time as health secretary, an additional £1 billion per year would be being spent in our NHS. Had the Government built sufficient workforce capacity when the sun was shining, the system would not have hit breaking point when the Covid storm hit. In NHS Lothian alone, there are presently 1,011 vacancies for nursing and midwifery and 5,761 across Scotland as a whole. When the minister speaks, it would be good if he can say how the Government intends to plug that gap. Local GPs are also concerned about the closure of the hospital and the manner in which it was closed. Dr Andrew Smith is a GP in Gullen with 25 years' experience admitting to and looking after patients in the Earrington. He says, I was not informed directly of the decision. I contacted the director and received a second hand apology. The community council, the local area partnership and the friends of the Ennington hospital say that they have been left in the dark. Responses to their freedom of information requests are sketchy, redacted or outstanding. They say that hard data is proving hard to find. So today my principal ask of the minister is that you encourage NHS Lothian to consult fully and to engage better with our communities. Can you help to ensure that data about bed use, the minor injuries clinic numbers and the knock-on effects on other services are put into the public domain as quickly as possible? Will you bring forward the date that you plan to meet with local campaigners so that you can hear firsthand their urgent concerns? The on-going closure of the minor injuries clinic is also adding to the pressure at A&E at the Royal Infirmary. The expectation that those injured should be able to make their own way to Edinburgh to receive treatment is unreasonable for many. Furthermore, we were told that moving nurses to hospital whether there were significant pressures would reduce those workforce pressures. Rather than move hospitals, at least one experienced nurse from the Earrington has chosen to leave the NHS. The decision to close respite and palliative care has put pressure on other facilities in East Lothian, including hospices. In her Scotsman piece, Dr Doden said that closing the hospital has been counterproductive. She says that there has been a knock-on effect on central patient services and a loss of more personalised services and associated high staff turnover. So whether it is on staffing levels, on pressure on the care sector, on respite services, on palliative care, the closure of the Earrington hospital is likely to have had a negative impact. All the while, beds that could be being put to good use lie empty and a minor injuries clinic is closed. There is cross-community, cross-party support for the rapid reopening of the Earrington hospital. I hope that ministers will listen. I hope that they will agree to work with me and parliamentary colleagues to meet urgently with local campaigners and to work to tackle the underlying issues in our NHS, so that the Earrington hospital is reopened and its future is assured. Thank you very much. Mr Hoy, could I remind members that the only EU in the chamber is the Presiding Officer and that comments should come through the chair? I call Paul MacLennan, who will be followed by Martin Whitfield for around four minutes. I thank Craig Hoy for bringing forward the debate this afternoon. Four minutes is not enough to talk about the hospital itself, but I will try to cover as many points as I can. First of all, I thank all the NHS and care staff in East Lothian and across the country for their efforts now and in the past 21 months. It has been an incredibly difficult time. The Earrington hospital in North Berwick is an integral part of the psyche of North Berwick. It has been a consistent and lifetime of everyone in the town. There will not be many people, as Craig Hoy said, who have not used the facility, be that the mine and injuries clinic, step up or step down care or end of life care for loved ones. The friend of Earrington group, led by Murray Duncanson, has been a fantastic support for the hospital over a number of years. When the announcement of the time to close of the hospital came through, it came as a surprise and as a shock to us all. At that time, as a constituency MSP, I pulled together a steering group, which consisted of myself, Craig Hoy, Martin Whitfield and all local councillors, friends of Earrington, North Berwick Community Council and North Berwick Health and Partnership. Well-well, we have been grouped local GPs in a local area of partnership. That has worked really well. The cross-party agency has met fortnightly to discuss options to push for the hospital to be opened as safe as clinically possible. At that time, we have the unprecedented pressures of the new Omicron variant and what is the most challenging moment that we have faced in the pandemic. I want to give thanks to all involved to have been quickly opened up the drop-in vaccine centre at the Cormac Strange in Earrington. That was incredibly well put together, and it has opened up today. I know that there has been cues at that already. Of course, we all recognise the reasoning behind the temporary closure. The pressures on NHSs are unprecedented, and Edinburgh, the Royal and Firmoy and Western General are under incredible pressures. The East Lothian community hospital in Earrington subsequently has seen this pressure pass down the line. Only this week, East Lothian Council communicated its issues around social care recruitment and pressures on delivering care packages. Of course, the push for mass vaccinations has had a demand for staff. That pull of staff at NHS carers and mass vaccination staff is being stretched and is incredibly difficult to balance. Last week, as both Mr Roy and Mr Wightfield were aware of, we were told that delayed discharges in the NHS Lothian were around about 400, the vast majority in Edinburgh. The main reason for the closure, of course, was given the overall staffing pressures in NHS Lothian estate. More beds would be available to residents in East Lothian if they were provided at East Lothian community hospital rather than Earrington. I think that it was mentioned about the 14 at the community hospital as against nine at Earrington. However, there is that nuanced debate that has been mentioned by my colleagues in regard to what are the other things that are impacting on there. It is the pressures on hospices and pressures on—there are empty care beds, for example, in East Lothian as well that could be used, and I think that it takes that more detailed look to do that. We were also told of recruitment issues for the community hospital in Earrington, which leads me to an ask of the cabinet secretary. The Friends of Earrington, as well as local MSPs, have asked for staffing figures, staff shortages and criteria for reopening the hospital in terms of the staff establishment. We have all been told that this information is only available through FOI. That needs to be shared and needs to be transparent and openly shared within the group. That is key and fundamental. It is one of the key asks that we have had from the steering group, which met only last night. The steering group has also asked for information on the impact of the closure of the minor injuries clinic. Has that presented additional pressures on A&E facilities in Edinburgh? Again, we were told that we would need to submit an FOI request. We heard from Claire Dalden, who, as I said, is mentioned about the pressures on local GPs. Again, that needs to be taken into the debate and discussed. At a recent meeting of MSPs and MPs, the Earrington hospital was discussed. We managed to secure reviews that would be monthly instead of quarterly, and at NHS, below the chief executive executive, Calm Campbell, would meet the steering group in the new year to explain the clinical reasoning of the temporary closure and answer any questions. In the short time that we all have in this debate, I want to conclude with another ask of the cabinet secretary. Can he give the people of North Berwick the reassurance that there are no plans to close the Earrington on a permanent basis? The Earrington has provided care for many in North Berwick, and he has sold it in one many years. I hope that we can see it open as soon as clinically safe. I am in the unique position, I think, of agreeing with all of the statements from across this chamber that have already been said. That speaks to the heart of what the community feel the crisis over the Earrington has been, but also speaks to a way of resolving this. The Earrington hospital has sat at the heart of every living person in North Berwick having been opened in 1913, becoming part of the NHS in 1948, described then as a cottage hospital. A small hospital where people who were in crisis had a panic, were sent by their GP, could attend to get any service from potentially getting a splinter out of their finger all the way through to dealing with a broken leg. It is in that versatility that the value of the Earrington hospital has warmed its way into the love of the community, a love that is shown by the thousands that have signed the petition, the love that is shown by the hundreds that turned up on a quite cold Sunday to make a heart in the park for their Earrington, to those people who will gather hopefully Covid permitting to celebrate a Christmas carols over the Earrington. I say this not because it's a community that is a hospital that they just love and don't need. The Earrington is a hospital that they need, and it serves a myriad of purposes. From, as we've heard, the nine beds, that when it was moved was six beds but had nine beds in it, but also the minor injuries unit, a hospital that both of those facilities were provided by the same staff, those facilities that allowed people to avoid having to take a train or buses to the nearest hospital that could deal with them or indeed stand outside of their pharmacy to try and get help there. It was a location that people could trust and when they were told at that location they needed to go elsewhere, they took that advice with confidence. The challenge that has occurred over this closure due to Covid is that the way that it has been announced, the way it has been handled has flown in the face of the community's experience of their NHS through the Earrington hospital. They have had to fight to get answers to questions and even at this time of crisis that is unacceptable. They have had to fight for people to come and speak to them to explain, even at this time of crisis that is unacceptable because through this hospital people are making choices about the way they face the Covid disaster that looms in front of us and they need to have confidence in their NHS and for them their NHS is a cottage hospital in part where they can go to with the smallest of complaints or the biggest of complaints with people who live in their community that work at their local hospital and with all respect I do not think any of their asks have been unreasonable. There is an economic model at a time of crisis that says you bring all your resources together but there is another one that if that hospital was supported so much pressure would have been taken off the larger hospital units and the other areas that perhaps the way through this Covid crisis could have been a different way. I know that you have heard of the asks from today about the agreement to meet the freedom of information data which is crucially important because it is their data. It is the data of the people who are asking this and for them to understand the decisions that are being made they need to see this and have it explained. I welcome the agreement of NHS Lothian to meet with the steering group and those people that have petitioned for this and I welcome the secretary's agreement to meet them I hope as soon as possible. So this is an opportunity to say sorry to a community for the way something happened and to start to make roads to make it better but we need to fill those thousand vacancies across NHS Lothian. Thank you Deputy Presiding Officer. Thank you very much Mr Workfield and I call Sue Webber to be followed by Jackie Baillie four minutes please Ms Webber. Thank you Deputy Presiding Officer. I believe that local health services are a vital part of local communities. The Eddington hospital opened in 1913 and has served the people of North Berwick and East Lothian successfully since then up until now. Prior to Covid and its closure the hospital had nine beds and provided medical care for a range of chronic conditions, mobility problems, respite and end-of-life care. I wrote to Marie Todd on 9 November after raising the closure of the Eddington hospital with her at health, social care and sports committee following a visit I had to North Berwick attending the hands-around of the Eddington rally. In my letter I voiced concerns about fears the hospital which provides the palliative care to local residents will be shut down for good and asked if she would contact NHS Lothian and reverse the closure of the inpatient palliative care beds at the Eddington hospital. She replied to say that the East Lothian health and social care partnership and the IJB are agreeing criteria for the safe reopening of the Eddington hospital and are ensuring that staff are engaged and informed and also fulfil engagement and consultation with local communities, community groups, staff and elected members. She also said that the cabinet secretary who is here today will be meeting with the community hospital campaign group soon to discuss their concerns and future plans for that hospital. As my colleague Craig Hoy has said, I think that it is vital that this meeting between Humza Yousaf and the community hospital campaign group takes place as soon as possible. Sadly, NHS Lothian's gold command group met last week to review the decision to temporarily amuse staff from Eddington to East Lothian community hospital in Haddington. The decision was taken to keep North Berwick's Eddington hospital closed. Ultimately, the decision centres around workforce pressures are simply not enough staff. I have been calling for resilient and robust workforce planning, not just a plan but real action, to address the long-term issues with our workforce. They have long predated Covid. Those can be attributed directly to decisions taken by the SNP Government from as far back in 2007 when Nicola Sturgeon cut the number of nurse training places when she was health minister. There is cross-community support and cross-party support for the rapid reopening of the Eddington, as we have heard across the chamber this afternoon. If the Government cared about community hospitals as much as the rest of us, it would have done something about it. There was, after all, no consultation, nothing. Everything that we have faced over the past 18 months should be clear that if we had more services in communities, we could have and would have managed things better. To decide now to close a community service makes no sense. We need to have more services in the heart of our communities. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Thank you, Ms Webber. I now call Jackie Baillie to be followed by Karl Mock in four minutes. Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. Can I congratulate Craig Hoy on securing the debate and, indeed, to all the speakers so far for the content of their speeches? I was very pleased to join members of the Eddington hospital campaign in North Berwick to hear first hand how much they love and value their local hospital. Eddington is, as we have heard more than 100 years old, has been serving the community of North Berwick and its many visitors of which I have been one year after year. The community hospital offers a range of services, whether it is palliative care, whether it is out of hours, but the critical thing for me is supported by GPs, allied health professionals and nurses, and it provides much-valued and safe local healthcare. I am a complete fan of local services. I make no secret of that, but especially so when it is a well-run, sustainable service that the Eddington hospital is. Let us review what happened. We are, of course, alive to the fact that there is a pandemic, but the decision to transfer services away from the Eddington hospital was apparently based on staff shortages. Let us be perfectly clear that it was staff shortages elsewhere in NHS Lothian and not staff shortages at the Eddington hospital. NHS Lothian took the decision on 25 August. It consulted the Scottish Government on the same day. A press release was sent out on 1 September, securing the knowledge that agreement had been reached with the Scottish Government. Six beds and staff were transferred away from the Eddington hospital. Those were to be temporary changes. There was to be a review after three months, which was promised. I wrote to the health board and the cabinet secretary. I asked who was doing the review. Will the local community be involved as they were not the first time around? What are the criteria for the review? I had a response from the health and social care partnership. I have still received a response from the health board or the cabinet secretary. I have to say that there was nothing there about the current review. It is genuinely appalling that there is so little transparency and that local people and local clinicians are not consulted. That simply cannot happen again. Information must be shared with the local community and local clinicians. However, what was interesting is the health and social care partnerships response, because it tells me that there is a work programme to review the long-term model and provision around two care homes and the Bellhaven hospital and the Eddington hospital sites. My goodness, there is even a change board set up to do that. All that I can say to local people in that area is that I have seen some of that before in my own area. You need to engage now, because every instinct of the NHS board will be to centralise services and there is a real danger that more services will be lost. However, the changes that have already been made will have had an impact. Others have described it, but let me just take the minor injuries unit as one example, because many people will have ended up going to the front door of A&E needlessly when they could have been seen locally contributing to the crisis at A&E and in our hospitals. I will not go on, Presiding Officer. I have three asks of the cabinet secretary. First, meet with the campaign group, local people and clinicians to understand how much they value this local provision. Ensure that the health board and the health and social care partnership are transparent and share data without the need for game-playing and FOIs. Please can you today give a long-term commitment to the hospital so that services that are appropriately delivered locally are not centralised and remain in North Berwick? Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I also thank Craig Hoy for bringing this debate to the chamber. I also commend my colleague Martin Whitfield for the work that he has done on this issue and for standing so strongly beside the North Berwick community. Deputy Presiding Officer, when a petition gains thousands of signatures from local residents who care deeply about their hospital and their community, it is often a call for health boards and for government to listen. Clearly, those calls have not been listened to, and the views of the public have been ignored with the continued closure of the community ward at Eddington hospital. I know that the pandemic has put restrictions on the way we have lived our lives, but consulting with the public is something that decision makers are still able to do using different types of consultation, using virtual meetings and other platforms. The fact that the decision has been made without any real consultation as we have heard with the public should be a concern to us all, and I hope that the cabinet secretary recognises that that simply should not have happened. Health services are at their best when they are local, when people are familiar with the settings and environment and have a connection to it. Closing a hospital that has provided over 100 years of good care and service to its local community will undoubtedly have adverse impacts on the community that it has served for so long. In the aftermath of a pandemic, people will and the Scottish Government and the health board should recognise the importance of local community care, but its importance is heightened a bit more when the building in which the care is provided has been a stability of the community for so long, where generations are brought up knowing it and linking many personal memories to it. It is hospitals such as Eddington that should be doing all we can to protect not to close. Deputy Presiding Officer, we all understand the severe pressures that NHS is under, and we know that staffing is an issue in some areas, but, as we have heard, not at Eddington hospital, it is incumbent on the Scottish Government to provide the resources to create new posts and to address staff shortages wherever they are, but it is very important that, locally, people know that their services are valued. The NHS has carried us through this pandemic. It is the very best of our country and our proudest possession, but underfunding and undervaluing of health services by Government has led us to a situation where staff and community care facilities have been moved to centralised health hubs. That should not always be the case. Deputy Presiding Officer, let me be clear that the Scottish Government's underfunding and undervaluing of the health service long predates the pandemic. Lessons need to be and should have been learned long before now. The people of North Berwick understandably feel as though a big part of their community has been torn away from them. They are understandably unhappy at the lack of consultation and they are understandably concerned about the future of their local hospital. They have not been communicated with. I hope that the cabinet secretary can give them some reassurance today that the Scottish Government is doing all it can to secure the future of this hospital and to communicate with the public. I will reiterate a point that I have made throughout this debate, that health services are best when they are delivered locally, easily accessible and serve local communities. That this local hospital has such a history in connection to the people that it serves is an added benefit that should be preserved for as long as possible. The people of North Berwick deserve first-class local services at their doorstep and they deserve to be part of the consultation and listen to. Thank you to Craig Hoy for bringing the debate and thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Thank you very much, Ms Mocken. I call on the cabinet secretary to respond to the debate for around seven minutes, cabinet secretary. Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. After being slightly mean to Craig Hoy yesterday, can I attempt some redemption by thanking him for—he says he will buy me a box of chocolate. That is exactly a way to the cabinet secretary for health's heart. Can I thank him for securing this debate? It is an important debate. If this was a parliamentary motion that we were voting for, I would vote for Craig Hoy's motion. I say nothing in it that causes me any difficulty. I think that he and all members today spoke well. I do not disagree with every single word that was said, but I will come to that. I think that they spoke well. The core themes of each of their debates are issues that I wish to pick up on. For what I thought was an excellent speech by Martin Whitfield, he really got to the heart of why hospitals are so important to our communities, but particularly community hospitals. They are there from, literally, birth often to death. Everything that goes in between some of our life's most difficult moments have been surrounded by nurses, doctors and hospitals. They have often and always usually shown great compassion and care. Again, in a community like North Berwick—a tight-knock community like North Berwick—Eddington hospital, no doubt, has been a central feature in many of those moments. Of course, they celebrate with us—enjoy. There are many moments that I will not forget in my life—the top of those moments when my daughter was born and I got to hold her for the first time—and again supported by the doctors, nurses and the other theatre staff who were there at that time. I think that every member here recognises the importance of Eddington hospital in the heart of the local community, and I want to reiterate that I understand that. I know NHS Lothian and understand that too. A few points that other members have raised that I would like to touch upon and reiterate and give some assurance if I can. I think that there have been three really key themes. If I have missed anything out, members can more than welcome to intervene on me, but the three key themes that I think that people have been asking for assurance on is consultation, transparency and then the long-term future of the hospital. On consultation, of course, in this pandemic in particular, and I think that everybody recognises it, we cannot expect health boards to do the full level of consultation that they necessarily did. I will address the point that Craig Hoy is making from a cemetery position shortly. That is why I emphasised that we could not do the full consultation or the health boards could not do the full consultation. I do not think that a full eight to 12-week consultation is something that can be done in the midst of a pandemic, given the nature of the rise in cases that we have seen through various different variants at the moment, the Omicron variant. However, members are suggesting that perhaps some consultation could have been done. I think that that is a fair ask. It is a fair request. It is a fair issue for the health board to reflect on. I do not think that anybody, even within the community, would have expected an extended consultation, but they would have expected some discussion to be had with them.  However, I think that the points when consultation are well made are not ones that I am going to dispute here. If I look to the present day before I look forward, a number of members, Paul MacLennan raised that point in particular well. He raised it with me when I met him and he raised the issue of Eddington hospital a number of months ago with me, the issue of transparency and data. I think that it is again not an unreasonable ask for the local community and for the representatives to ask for transparency in the decision-making process. That is not always as clear as a matrix. We can use matrix on paper, we can use spreadsheets, we can analyse the numbers, but we also have to take into account, as many members have said, the experiences of the local community. Those qualitative experiences can be as important as the quantitative data analysis that we do. The request that many people have made on me in terms of can NHS Lothian release that data as opposed to it being FOI, I certainly will take that issue up with NHS Lothian. I would like to understand the reasons why they are taking that approach, if there are reasons in particular that are reasonable, but if they are not, then I will certainly ask NHS Lothian to engage with full transparency, because the last thing that we need is for people to mistrust NHS Lothian for the intention of why they are doing what they are doing. I think that they have done what they have done for a very good and important reason in this pandemic. The third is the question of the long-term future, which again a number of members, Paul McLean and Craig Hoy, Jackie Baillie and others, asked about. I have said very clearly in written communication that there are no plans to permanently close Earrington hospital. I reiterate that again today. In terms of what services will be available in the long-term future, I hope that members will understand that at this moment, in the midst of the pandemic that we are in, it may be difficult to answer that question. More than happy to hear. Craig Hoy. Just in case he completes his remarks without answering this one ask that was made, he is due to meet with the campaigners at the end of January, which will be after the next review period. I understand that he was in East Lothian recently visiting the community hospital, but he did not inform either Mr Whitfield or myself and he did not inform Mr McLean, who knows was slightly out of joint, I think. Next time he comes, the kettle will be on, the chocolates will be out and we are very happy to meet with him. Could he please just meet that core ask of the campaign groups, which is to meet them before the next review, so that he can get fully appraised of their concerns? I am afraid that the current pressures that I am under dealing with the immediacy of not just the Omicron variant but the booster campaign, of which, of course, the First Minister took a number of questions. Today, his colleague, the Leader of the Opposition, highlighted just how important that booster campaign is. Those are my immediate priorities. Therefore, what is in the diary for a meeting early in the new year, of course, is a date that I will stick to. I hope that he would understand notwithstanding the importance of this issue and I hope that I have reassured him and the community how important the issue is, but notwithstanding that I have some immediate pressures, which, of course, I have to fulfil. However, I will meet him in terms of going to East Lodian. Of course, if he and other regional members—indeed, the constituency member—were not informed, I do, of course, apologise and regret that. As I say, I do plan—and I will conclude in this planning also—to meet Northbury community council. I intend for local members to be there as well. I hope that, at that point, we will have a clearer picture of where we are at. However, given the difficulties that we are facing with Omicron in particular, I am not necessarily envisaging that much will change, but let us see and let the review do the job that it needs to do. I conclude by saying that I understand the importance of this issue to the local community and look forward to meeting them in the new year. Thank you very much indeed, cabinet secretary. That concludes the debate, and I suspend this meeting of Parliament until 2.30.


Ladies and gentlemen They call me selling Mike Little Mikey. What's crackin guys? What's crackin guys on where you saw your coconut head Omar and doctor Mike cocaine head? Let me try to say the last name history. I tell no Israel Israel Israel Israel is good. We're somewhere in there. Is it is raw or Israeli hotel like Israel? So it's Israel Dmitry's beard on the Borscht goes assistant. Yeah Ask me how to say in Russian today. He guessed it on the first try I feel like you just say it really fast because you don't even know how to say her name.   He's really good secret.  That's like a New Jersey accent. He could speak elf to all right Yeah, that's true. Actually. Did you speak out because you know, but I swear There's something beautiful, bro. A romantic language. Really? Yeah, but it's Rania He saw as a mention at this point that he's half Argentinian so I consider this Yeah, I felt like a more exotic Yeah, but that's basically Italian to the truth like my mom moved here from Argentina But I'm sure her like great great or someone came from Italy.  We're on It looks over you We're all do you wish you wish little Mikey I've actually had Because we're telling and I was like it's pretty time. Yeah, that's good. It's your telly.  I mean that won't that's So I want to talk. I want to talk I want to talk supplements. We're not the weirdest thing that's been said on this couch I want to talk supplements because all I do is live in bass supplements I was the kid like many of these people and probably YouTube You're 18 you want to get jacked you go to the supplement store you buy everything there I spent hundreds of dollars over years and made no gains. I figured out how to eat and train properly I dropped all my supplements in my games who would have thought so I think we can all agree and we'll just blanket state this steroids work steroids are the best and if you can't get those Supplements are only five five percent at most of any success you're ever gonna have yeah, that is exact figure We came up with RP. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah or last or more Someone that's five percent total for all supplements use Right, so that's that's what everything else is working perfect Again, I don't like to take them and I like to give my money to the industry. I've mixed feelings, but You're a doctor So what what's happening in supplement industry? What are some maybe the top three supplements that you perhaps recommend that actually work and let's kick out caffeine?  So besides caffeine All right, we'll just go three then or you can go for three. Yeah for One yeah, we'll have a mystery one for Omar's video the top three. Yeah This is really good timing for this video. Yeah, so I was gonna say and is there any differentiation between hypertrophy perhaps Strength or perhaps endurance with these if not if they're all just decently good fire We're in luck all right because trend works for everything. Wow That's old not a broken not a not a broken heart.  Yeah, no one Trump talk you yours.   You got a big fake account That may or may not have happened to a recent NBA player, but we'll talk. Oh, yeah That's really awkward. It's so awkward. Just let the man speak about supplements, please. Locally. Yeah, I Myself and team of high-level researchers have been developing Supplements, they are called hydroxy methyl beta xzs One and dash two and dash three and those are the top three best supplements you should buy is he kidding?  Oh, that's nothing $19,000 I can find that in a crevice of this couch easy. Yeah, you get to be as jacked as Phil he's not 1997 to 2003 Ronnie Coleman because that's too big or something that can't do that. Okay. Yeah easy jay-colors Jack So I'll take a jay-colors easy five months of using our supplement. Yeah, don't die It's a risk I sense a lifter So here's the deal reality check yeah Creatine monohydrate is an effective supplement. Oh, no means very formal is by no means clear that the other delivery mechanisms are creating work There are some new ones creating hydrochloride But it needs more research creating athelastra and many studies doesn't pass from the bloodstream into the cell Really bad news by the way. You can key in it out. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so look. I said something Canadian Oh So creating works monohydrate you five to ten grams a day every day for a couple of months What about the blow? Everyone complains about blow like a bro. It's blows me is intramuscular Yeah, which means that it's not like puffy face post Chinese restaurant blow Yeah, we can wake up the next day after trying to be a fan of it. Yeah, it's which I love.  Yeah So so creating works creating works by basically replenishing your muscles like DP stores just a little bit faster and more thoroughly So it gives you a little bit more skill in her. So basically if you usually fail a rapid fail a set of 10 reps for the certain way with creatine after a week you might be able to hit 12 reps and Creatine through other biochemical pathways basically allows you to build a nutrient muscle a little bit more effectively It will last for a little bit faster, but a recovery and has some nervous system benefits as well Actually for brain health that enough they're finding out so creating super great I'm no real serious side effects to speak of on and it's very effective supplement Another very effective someone's way protein especially for post-workout or to work out. It's incredibly easy other stuff It's incredibly fast adjusting gets to the muscles quick post-workout and starts turning the anabolic machinery so to speak Nothing fancy. Just regular way protein if you're really sensitive to milk products Cons weight protein concentrate might irritate your your tummy a little bit.  Yeah. Yeah.   I show up here to be connected to Hollywood elites hydro I've never been in any money. You're just simply not connected. Yeah, you know what we're in LA right now We're here In ways pretty cheap It's not that expensive. Yeah, if you want hydro, it's more expensive I'll tell you this unless you have stomach issues or your mr. Olympia hydro Mr. Olympia Hydro your Hydro man.      Don't wash it. Yeah, just it's done It's like nuclear waste. It's aminos. Same thing.    It definitely improves muscular endurance It's by no means clear improves hypertrophy outcomes So people will take it just because it has the tingle, which I personally find hate. Yeah, you feel like your face I feel like I'm in a horror movie and I want to rip my face off for sure. I sit in the bath Say what you feel like a strokes in a totally yeah, but like it In that's like a pretty harmless side effect, but it's one of those things that you know people like it They put it in pre-workout. Yeah It's not super, you know, it's it's by no means clear that like if you're a 400 meter runner in track You might consider it highly because it improves endurance at like in the one to two minute interval time But if you're a lifter and you want to get the most jacked, maybe not It's almost certainly won't help it with strength might help you a little bit with hypergraphy But again, if the metabolite hypothesis and the purchase correct, which is like the burn actually is a signal for muscle growth They only delays the onset of the burn and makes the burn not as much So you might actually be shooting yourself in the foot So you might get more reps, but you'd have to get more more reps to get it Actually get what you want. That's right. It's like inclusion training. Yeah. This is the bird earlier Yeah, right the lower volume mode. You could stimulate the same one. Yeah And so it's one of those like it works backwards. Yeah, is there any other supplements that are you know We're being studied or now being studied or things coming up that you think may be Relevant the next five years. Yeah, totally. I keep hearing good things about such a rally But I have yet to see the volume of literature and the consensus on it that it works really well that it works well enough To really be able to be worth an investment like when we wrote the RP diet We're doing a rewrite in a couple months of it It's just you know, just a general diet book about scientific approach to dieting We wanted our inclusion criteria for supplements was effective safe and Has a volume of research behind it that it isn't just a fan or a flu like for example leucine and hydroxy Hydroxy beta methyl butyrate HMB Yeah, oh, yeah with the prompt the prompt study Good for a while a couple studies in a row five studies rule a rose muscle and then they did some other studies in more long Terms just didn't do shit So we really wanted to stay away from recommending products that had promised like you know You guys have been in lifting long enough and in the industry long after we get sick and tired promise.  Well, they've promised And you're happy Nothing to do with those asshole man. Yeah. Yeah, but in any case seriously, you know promises in supplements Especially and here's the thing like supplement industry.  Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, just students in general caffeine is the best. It feels good like pain tolerance energy Obviously, all that type reduction. Yeah, it's one of the basic cornerstone of five Makes me smarter. I don't know if that's just me, but it's an illusion. Yeah, I feel What's up But this is the best party Mike has ever been to you probably Haha, you got a warm-up slow to LA party.   Oh, yeah, that's cool.  We can be friends Renaissance periodization comm for knowledge hit a Mike Israel at on Facebook and then is that a personal Facebook?
