The realism is truly astonishing!! So beautiful!!!

[@TravelWritePaint]

Thanks! Just a bunch of happy accidents lol -Birdcall🐦‍⬛🎶

[@robinaevans5090]

The talent between the two of you is like listening in stereo. Bobby painting and your beautiful steady voice speaking truth about your thoughts and feelings while hiking in a most beautiful but dangerous part of the PCT. You leave us wanting more…

[@TravelWritePaint]

This video was mesmerizing magic! I love the footsteps! Suttle ambiance for a fabulous video. Thank you for continuing to share. 💜

[@TravelWritePaint]

Thank you very much!

A beautifully put together video demonstrating what a talented couple you are. Watching Bobby paint is fascinating. I was taught to paint in watercolour by building up layers of wash, perfectly demonstrated here. I also love the details added to Wilson and the sunglasses showing how the tiniest spots of paint can depict form and depth. I don't seem to have the patience for it now, and am more of a slosher, but these are inspiring me. Thank you ❤

[@TravelWritePaint]

Yeah, such a great humbling practice, painting is😂

[@vagabondwildernesswanderings]

Oh my gosh!!! I love watching his painting just come to LIFE! AND YOUR JOURNAL ENTRIES! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BOOK!

I’ve never seen a watercolor artist as talented as you, Bobby. The way you capture such great detail in everyone’s features. It’s like a photograph. My goodness you are brilliant.

[@TravelWritePaint]

Loved how you showed clips of the trail with your narration as Bobby painted. Brilliant! What a talented duo you are!! BTW, yesterday (Sunday) Road Runner is on the Pinhoti Trail around Dalton, Georgia. You should call her. I'll bet she would love to hear from you.

[@TravelWritePaint]

Thank you. Yes! We called her 🥰

[@shades1959]

I’ve been following hiking VLOGS now for the past 7 years (Dixie, IBTAT, Feathers) and I can honestly say, your hike “Continuous Footpath” has been one of my very favorites. Capturing your hike with your book will be a must have for all future PCT hikers. Amazing paintings BirdCall great job telling the story and editing BossBabe, Thank you so much for sharing guys. You’re truly living a wonderful life.

Great narrative of your perspective with the painting process, you are both very talented! I like the story involved the tramily. Nice details of that time and also your frayed ball cap!

Great video. Thanks.

[@TravelWritePaint]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@luannmack-drinkard8498]

Bobbie! My mom was an accomplished watercolorist and I’ve painted a few. We used luan plywood board cut in the size one needs. As a backer board. We then stapled around the edges to hold the paper in place. We could easily do washes as desired and not warp the paper. I think I remember we used a heavy deArches. Usually a full sheet. Sometimes a half sheet. When complete, just pop out the staples. I still have a board around someplace (eyes no longer allow me to do art). Stuff lasts forever! I love your technique and brush work. Good use of white space. Looking forward to the book!

[@TravelWritePaint]

Good’ol staple method! Love it 😊

[@jimhenderson387]

I too am curious about the Robert/Bobby/Bird Call thing. I don't remember you calling him Robert until I heard the narration here. No matter. I love Robert's art. I wish I had half that talent doing anything.

[@TravelWritePaint]

🥰😂. It’s his three alter egos! Friends call him Bobby, I call him Robert tho he also goes by Robert in the professional world too.

[@WedgieOnTour]

This anticipation for the book is becoming unbearable. You both possess an incredible talent. Your collaboration is flawless, each of you bringing out the best in the other.

[@TravelWritePaint]

Thank you so much!

[@umreeh]

[@TravelWritePaint]

Magic - it’s Apple. 🥰 thanks!

[@jimscott2998]

I wanna buy a painting, when will the folio be available, and even the book? Stay safe, keep the memories alive!

[@TravelWritePaint]

Hi Jim! Are you thinking you’d like to get an original watercolor illustration? If so, we will have some on our website by the end of this month. The book is available via preorder on our website as well. If you’re interested in just a watercolor print you can preorder those as well. Riedel gallery.com or link below riedelgallery.com/pacific-crest-trail-book

[@jimscott2998]

@@TravelWritePaint , yes, I am! Robert was looking across some hills obscured by wild fire smoke with a conifer n the left and said, “I gotta paint this scene.” That’s the one I want. I’ll be awaiting the reveal when it comes. 💕

[@StephenDownes]

Why do you call him 'Robert' in the book but 'Bobby' on video? I'm curious... there's a dissonance there.

[@TravelWritePaint]

I call him Bobby around friends and family 🥰 but usually I call him Robert when it’s just us.
