Hope you enjoy taking a look at this new style of video - do leave me a comment to let me know you're still around and watching. And I'd love to know what sort of things you'd like to see next.

It’s so inspiring and refreshing to see honesty like this. This is the type of youtube i really miss, just normal people sharing what they do and like, not popularity and pushing items to buy in your face. Thank you😊

@AlexBoonArt Ай бұрын

I completely agree. I think I want to be making the kind of KZbin videos that I like to watch myself, the ones I got inspired by in the first place. Am much more excited about doing this again now 😃

Love this Alex. Looking forward to your new 2025 journal and seeking a gentle, loving connection with yourself, nature and your community. Agnes

Nice to have you back, Alex. Loved Skomer Island, rock pooling and the nature walks, I still use them to practise drawing birds. And I liked how you named everything you encountered during your walks. No need to compare brushes.

@AlexBoonArt Ай бұрын

Thank you! Lots more of that sort of content coming this way soon, including the new one that's coming out today. I'm definitely happier sharing art and nature this way. Good point about naming things - I will remember to keep adding labels in the videos 😊

Alex! You’re back! 😊 What a lovely video this is. I feel like I’m listening to a friend. This is a beautiful kind of video; for me yes, I do prefer this to brush comparisons and things like that. This is a beautiful kind, thoughtful, peaceful and inspiring video which makes me want to recommit myself to going outside and drawing, just as the last leaves are falling here and it seems like it could snow any day. Thanks for this and I applaud your decision! I hope it brings you peace and health in the new year as well!

Good to see you back again Alex and looking forward to the newly rebooted channel! A very important reminder to all of us who create on KZbin to remember why we are here!

Thank you 😃 Yes, I definitely recommend a check from time to time. I had gotten so into what I felt I should be doing, it took me a good while to realise I wasn't enjoying it 😅

Thank you so much for your comment 😊 I really appreciate it that you appreciate authenticity as well. The channels that I love here are the ones where people are being honestly themselves and sharing something special to them. I take a lot of inspiration from those people, and hope to do the same here 🙂

Hi Alex! We missed you, it's great to have you back on the channel. I totally understand you, support your authenticity, your plans and look forward to your videos when you are ready and feel like sharing a bit of your creative journey. So, no pressure please and take good care of yourself! Regards and wishes for all best things from 🇺🇦

Thank you, it's good to be back! I am hoping to be more organised next year so I can be less pressured and get videos out in a more relaxed way. Thanks for your lovely comment 🙂

@Purpleladybirdart 2 ай бұрын

Your words really resonated with me. As a KZbinr it’s easy to put pressure on yourself to perform and be all too interested in what people want and watch. I want to stay authentic and remember why I started my channel in the first place. Thank you Alex, so happy to see you back. 🙏💜

I'm glad it made you think too, it's so much easier to keep making videos when it's what you really want to be doing. I think it helps reach the right people for you too. Keep going 😊

Bravo for doing what is more authentically you! You may lose some followers, but the ones who stay (and the new ones you get) will appreciate whatever you present because it will be more in line with their interests, too. Thank you!

New to water color as I retired in 20222. The plan to follow along to see how you journal and enjoy your techniques and what you see in your lens. Happy 2025. ! And god bless . ❤

Thank you, welcome along! I hope you enjoy following along and it is always exciting to hear someone is starting a new nature journal, that is always music to my ears. I hope you have a great time observing and recording all the nature close to you 😊

Hi Alex! It's nice to see you again. 🤗Your painting is beautiful. I look forward to your KZbin videos again. Personally, I simply enjoy hearing you talk about Nature and seeing the process of creating your journal pages. I probably don't even notice the camera work details that you do! I hope you are doing well. I'd love to see your garden and your cat, if you still have one! 🌸🐈‍⬛🪴

This is wonderful. I think that’s incredibly common to lose the target over time. I know I was going out to just draw and paint, and eventually lost my drive. I tried over again and again but in the end I released that I was missing the main reason I started it all. Just to be in nature. Thank you for all your beautiful content

@AlexBoonArt Ай бұрын

Thanks Marc, I am glad you enjoyed it. I am happy to hear that you came to the realisation that it is all about being ourselves in nature and responding in some way 😊

@amyvetter1830 2 ай бұрын

Welcome back, I kept checking for you, glad you have sorted out a few things. I like the walks through the forests and beaches and fields, the sketches and inspiration. I could care less what kind of water brush you use. Those people who want to know what color paint or type of paper you use, drive me nuts. The paint won't make you a better artist, the drawing practice and observation of nature is what makes you better. Get out and enjoy the world. I'm so happy to see you, looking forward to more content what ever it may be.

@AlexBoonArt Ай бұрын

Thanks, Amy, nice to see you here again. I do enjoy talking about art materials etc with those who are interested - and I find that the better materials you can use (especially in terms of paper choice), the better the results regardless of skill level. But I am just not interested enough to make my channel about this. I started up intending to do vlogs about my nature journaling life but not having the video skills to do it how I wanted to. Now I think I can have a better go at it 😊

I just found you today after recommendation from Diane Antone, who I’ve followed for over a year. I would love to learn how to naturejournal, especially because the next 4 yrs on the US will not be pleasant. Very nice to meet you!

@AlexBoonArt Ай бұрын

Thank you 😊 I am very sorry about what happened with the US politics, I don't think anywhere is safe from this shift toward right-wing nastiness. I find nature journaling helps a lot with navigating the unpleasantness in the human world, hope to inspire you to give it a try 😊

Not only is your art work very inspiring and beautiful, Alex, you are a truly beautiful person too. I am a new subscriber, I don't know what your previous videos were like, but I was won over by the holloway video. So, your new approach, which is to share what you love, is working :)
