What artist gets to design beer cans!! Awesome!

"What if...?" is the artists greatest tool, thanks for the great video.

careful, wash your hands! Many salamanders in our area(Oregon) are very poisonous to handle.

Great idea! And what a handsome salamander and excellent rendering of it. We have a somewhat similar California/Baja garden slender salamander that I nature journaled before. Thanks for the inspiration!

I loved this thank you!

Super fun video. I’m getting into nature journaling this year.

wonderful idea!

ihr habt die Mögllichkeit euch mit Jon Young zu beschäftigen. Dann braucht ihr keine Tiere fangen oder Pflanzen abschneiden. Eingeborene brauchen sowas nicht um andere Lebewesen zu erfahren.

That perpetual idea is amazing

Please dont take animals away from their habitat! Its unneccessary stress for the animals and you probably have germs on you that arent good for it. Do you know hoe many fire salamanders we lost due to spreading germs/viruses that got more and more agressive? Just take a photo please. And dont rip out plants (if its from your garden, ok) For every outdoor person (and especially those who want to teach respect for nature and our environment) goes: Take nothing but pictures Leave nothing but footprints Kill nothing but time

Great, inspiring movie. Thanks for sharing! Keep walking and admiring nature :-)

This is so inspiring! After a recent move to a more remote, mountainous region of Colorado I have been exploring a ton of different art forms. I’m finally finding the freedom to do so. One things is leading to another and through a search for “nature journaling” on KZfaq I have found your page. Hoping to take one of your courses soon! Really enjoying your videos 😊

Great video discussion! I'm finally about to retire and can't wait to spend more time on all my creative interests, which range from completing a novel to sewing to sketching plein air to bonsai. "Let's see what happens" is my life long mantra. Being creative, having fun, and playing with others should be our focus, because its something you'll never regret doing. You should check out the Table Rock Writing workshop held near Asheville in August, because it includes a songriters section similar to the old time music camp you just did. Fun!!!🎉

Thank you so much for sharing! The kids and I watched your video - very encouraging!

Beautiful drawings! The kids and I watched and loved the close up of your finds outside! This concept reminds me the Charlotte Mason “Book of Firsts” - not that she discovered it but rather the CM community enjoys doing this. It’s a journal where one records the first time seeing something and it cycles through the years. You can record first snow, honeybees, specific birds in spring, and the journal can be divided into any way you’d like as well - daily, weekly, monthly. Thank you for the video - very encouraging!

Love that you showed how people who don't have access to grand scenic and nature rich forests can still find cool nature right beneath their feet wherever they are.

I just came across your book in Michael’s on Monday… I just completed the Green Frog …fiddleheads we’re difficult for me.. thank you for pulling me back to watercolor as I have a love / dislike with WC can’t wait to do more of your tutorials

Just a word: Beautiful! I’m ordering my copy today.

Looking forward to this class! But I must know… what is the name of the small paint palette set you show in the video?? I can’t quite read it, but I think it says “The Hushwing Collective”? Gorgeous colors! 😍

I love this idea, thanks for sharing! Such great art captures of the plants and salamander 😊

Lovely❤

Cool. We are big fans at my house. Always look forward to seeing your new stuff!

You should do an Augusta class on map making!!!!!!!

Just wonderful! Great job!

I enjoyed your video thank you.

I love this! Integration of history and current experience! Impressive hair dad! This so makes me want to visit the area!

This was very much a feel good video 😊 I enjoyed it thoroughly !

You are multi-talented and an inspiration to others. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing. 😃

fun velog

i also had so many animal dolls that i named them and write funny poems and little narratives about them. i use to draw cartoons. make very simple animal origamies. i use to care more about clothing. i even had a simple toy keybkard. that fell and broke.i had fishes chicks and turtles . i was very creative as a child but same happened to me. i choose my art as career and after 18 years it got a little boring for me. nowdays i try my other artistic interests to get more variety in my life. so this video resonated with me. thanks

that red back salamander looks like a worm at first. very interesting. i lately discored nature journaling, it is fun. even tho i draw for 18 years now professionally. and i pretty good at observation. it improved my concentration while drawing.

WELL

Shadow painting - and pictures of shadow painting 👌👩🏻‍🎨

I just bought this!

Love this! I am also just starting my natures journal. I’m nervous because I’m not good at drawing/painting but going to try to do it anyway. Your pages already look so good! Can’t wait to see how it turns out after 5 years!

This is really helpful for my attempts at nature journaling thank you 🌿

I am one of the older ones. I thought I couldn't draw or do any painting. But I began stitching embroidery and then took up watercolors and sketching during the pandemic...retired from work and had all of this time and space to create for the first time in life! I am on a constant learning journey now and trying not to judge my creations...just enjoy the process. Yesterday I found your channel and your book through The Pressley Sisters. Your book is just what I was looking for and I ordered it today! I am really looking forward to trying some of the lessons!

oh awesome, love this idea. Have always thought about drawing the cycle of plants, but being able to do the cycles of nature itself over the course of the year is really special. Thanks for sharing :) (also love the honeybee on the aconite!)

This is wonderful! Really enjoyed watching this and would love to see more of your nature journal on your KZfaq channel 😊 also, what type of journal is this/what paper? Thank you :) Kind regards, Freya, based in the Scottish Highlands 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

thepressleygirls channel recommended visiting your channel. I watched your video on the White mountains hike. I lived in NH for ten years and visited the White mountains, they are ruggedly beautiful. Thanx for sharing, I will be back for more adventures. Be safe out there. Love your water color art of Nature.😃

Those are some Huge snowflakes!( My favorite kind!)❤

Hi Rosalie! I discovered you through Katie and Corie Pressley's YT channel. I live in WV and like the Pressley family and you, I love Appalachia. I'm 66 years old and was born, raised and still live here in WV. I'm disabled now and can no longer get out to hike and look at the beauty of nature like I once did. I think I'm going to have to get your book and some supplies to try some watercolor painting myself! I definitely subscribed and I'll bet you'll get a lot more from people like me who find you through the Presley Girls KZfaq channel. You're insanely talented btw!

Thank you you make it look so easy. Enjoyed maybe I might try it.

Enjoyed your knowledge about the salamander and the way you sketched the little critter. Thanks to the pressley girls im' checking you out and subscribing.

So Beautiful

Enjoyed your channel so much. Keep it up. It’s all so wonderful

I enjoyed and love your journey!! Thank you.

Greetings from N. Georgia! The Pressley Girls found value in your channel and sent me over.🌟💜🌟

Hi, Rosalie. I just learned about you from Corie and Katie's video and followed the link to your channel. This video caught my eye, because I live in the northern Whites. I liked, subscribed, and look forward to seeing more of your work.

Love your capture of nature through watercolor journaling! Hello from Ohio. Found you through The Presley Girls.
