The sketchbook with feelings: making art that moves you.

[@geckonia]

When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Thank you, Danny. 🙏🏼

[@laurieline3888]

7:56 ❤ this! I’m putting “Nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect” on the first page of my sketchbook. Like another viewer- I took notes whilst watching this video. Thank you. 🙏

[@deirdreboyd6190]

Same! In fact, I’ve been studying Wabi Sabi since I stayed in an artist’s hotel in Tokyo and was given the room named “wabi sabi” by the artist who designed it (one of a kind). I’m renovating a 1945 small house in the Midwest US & I’m keeping this as my focus as I go along. I hope we both continue to understand this beautiful way of life ❤🙏🏻

[@sharyndj7404]

Danny…Thank you, enormous thank you. As a self-taught artist now in her active 70’s, I so relate to your words. A tragic loss catapulted my own need for self-expression which only artmaking fulfilled. My inner-critic disappeared once I realized how the joy of artmaking reconnected me to my soul, my Self, my aliveness. Your message is so valuable. Carpe Diem.

[@Azure_Jewel]

Thanks Sharyn. I relate to you!

[@suzannestevens8257]

This is so welcome! When my brother died, I just kept doing portraits of him in charcoal. It felt like he was with me. It was special. Xo

This is the best‼️‼️‼️🙏

[@LovinLnCottage]

Thank you for helping me get back in touch with the person I used to be. I suffered so many traumas and loss over the last 17 years that I shut down and have been unable to pick up my art again. You have given me a great gift. Those who bring happiness into the lives of others cannot avoid bringing happiness into their own lives. Thank you for all you do.

[@dollymiixture]

This is the most authentic and beautiful art video on KZbin I've seen. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ajadina6511]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and heart. This was a moving video and just what I needed to hear. I'll never forget that art doesn't have to be great to be precious. ❤

[@angelssing7510]

Danny, this is one of the most beautiful messages I have listened too. Thank you for such an inspiring, encouraging and authentic video. You have helped me really see, feel and experience my world. I have learned that if I look back at old photographs, I sometimes wonder where and when they where from. Yet; if I have sketched an experience, I can recall every element of it. I had two beautiful nights away with my adult son's at Christmas. As they slept, I sketched the view from the window of the cottage we rented, I sketched the Poinsettia that I took for 'festive ambience', and I sketched my morning coffee. As I look back at these sketches I can recall in such detail my feelings of love, gratitude and contentment. All this from being introduced to your essays in August last year! Thank you! X

[@katherineelizabethco]

For a decade I painted portraits in oil of beautiful women and children. My paintings took on a melancholy appearance. This was disturbing, because I have a natural tendency to become sad. I decided to change my art. From canvas I switched to hard bound books filled with watercolor paper. I’m filling these books with illustrations of the full figure people in humorous situations. Right now I’m making a series of ladies with their dogs. Instead of oil I’m using pencil, pen and ink and watercolor. My objective is to capture the lighthearted moments in life. You are a treasure. I started down this path after reading one of your books !

[@heikesiegl2640]

Very interesting! I once participated in art therapy and int was very interesting how your mood influenced your choice of the medium and the other way round. How the medium could influence your mood/feelings/thoughts. There are also different kinds of exercises in Art therapy. Very interesting

[@liamhemmings9039]

I like flyfishing and fishing in general. One of the reasons I like to draw is that it is mechanical and it allows me to switch off. Hatching for instance relaxes me. So no matter or not whether I am a good artist the physical act of drawing makes me happier.

[@theresapalmer7892]

This was great, I took notes today. I like the ref of Wabi Sabi and Kondo. I started my first travel journey because of both these . It didn't matter if my art was any good and I stopped buying souvenirs as my memory reminders. (No clutter being brought home to dust) When I look at them, I do often laugh at my artwork but those memories flood back, on occasion I might even go back and journal a little on the page too. They actually give me more feelings than looking at the photo that may have been taken at the same time. I think drawing it embeds the feelings where a photo is the instant passing experience.

[@jonr6680]

Kondo, Queen of Clean...

[@sqeekable]

I now have, for 6 wks at least, my dominate hand in a splint. Physio said no art, no writing. I was panicked, then I thought okay now a good time to try all those non dominant hand exercises rather than not have pen or paintbrush in my hand. I know I feel better if only making bad doodle art.

[@amadsabedini414]

this guy literally made me get a sketchbook after so long time (im 26 now i ve been artist for 20years) now im filling a sketchbook with memories and stuff I regret i havent done it before, thankfully to the rich spoken and very well voice to hear story from him, He is the best. never stop making videos cause I will never stop watching them.

[@RhaniYago]

It is so interesting to listen to so many people talking about throwing away things, decluttering etc. I have some tools and materials (pieces of cloth, wool from the sheep I had 10 years ago) which I have taken with me when moving house at least three times. A few days ago I went to a shop to look for some coloured felt pens, found them but at this moment they were too expensive. I starting going through all my materials at home and in a box found a whole lot of these pens. And I found a box of watercolours which date from my late grandfather who died in 1985 - it is still ok, and I can start doing watercolour paintings, which I have never done before. I lately finished knitting a pullover made from that above mentioned wool from my sheep - hand spun, dyed with natural materials - and could not have done it had I thrown away the wool. No - I will never throw away tools or materials. I just try to make order from time to time to keep the overview over all those boxes and baskets.

[@teriofshalott]

I’ve loved all your videos and podcast episodes, and I’ve gotten so much out of them, but I think this is my favourite yet. Your words resonated with me deeply, and I know I’m going to come back to this video again and again in the future to remind me of them. thank you ♥️

[@allisonhorak8680]

Thank you! I got a lot out of this video essay. I drew a bouquet of flowers from my husband in response.❤

[@nicoleperron3315]

Wabi Sabi, I have a small platter either glass or crystal I'm not sure, from my grandmother, that is cracked straight across and was repaired with silver staples, not gold but silver. It may have been my great grandmothers but it always gave me pleasure to see someone had taken the time to repair it and didn't hide the repair and didn't throw it away. I think it's beautiful but I don't know it's story past that, because I found it after my grandmother had passed and we were emptying the house.

[@tkikpar4882]

Danny Do you even realize that you are an art therapist?? I can’t even tell you how much you have improved my mental health as an artist. I have been following this channel for more then five years. Cheers to you !🍻

[@SketchBookSkool]

I'm so glad I can be of help!

[@deirdreboyd6190]

I really like you. Thank you for showing up here for the world, and for graciously sharing your depth, warmth and wisdom. I’m absolutely longing to go back to Japan for a few months or more but I have to wait a year or two. I had declared 2025 the year to paint my travel photos from my magical month there and journal about how it was a calling to go, how I was transformed, and how it captured my heart. I’m SO grateful I found you. I am going to sketch journal every morning this year before I spend time on my paintings. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏻💫

[@SketchBookSkool]

That is wonderful to hear.

[@alexishidlebaugh9152]

Don’t mind admitting that bit at the end about making art makes us human made me cry. Well said. I do a version of this when traveling, love drawing things around the house, I’d like to do it more, cheers ☕️

[@DollfieMew]

This was a lovely way of breaking down what art can mean. I especially appreciated the background of the pasta can. I can really relate to that. ❤ In my 20's my art was filled with a lot of pain and sadness. Now it is very happy and whimsical. I got a couple comments on my art where people said my drawings brought them a lot of joy to look at. That made my day. Thank you for sharing your journey and encouraging us.

[@eckienoxio5602]

This is the single most wonderful video I have ever seen. It's been seconds since I finished watching and I can already tell it's changed me for the better. Thank you deeply for sharing all of this insight with us it's worth is beyond words.

[@CJoyArt]

Hi Danny. Thank you for sharing your very personal connection to these images. It is so helpful as I have always been somewhat stifled in my emotions. I haven't really thought about my sketchbook quite in this way, but wow, what a revelation. It has probably always been my "why." Thank you for enlightening my practice.

[@graciehart1001]

I enjoyed this video so much 🙏🏼 coming from a religious culture where we’re led to believe we need to become perfect and constantly told try harder that’s not good enough your not good enough and thrown away shunned dumped ect like these Japanese pots your words are gold to broken hearts. There is a parable about a cypriot lady (me) carrying two pots of water on a yoke, one was cracked and leaked on her way back from the well, she didn’t throw it away because the side the cracked pot was on watered her garden. That’s how we see our crackpot friends ✌🏼from Australia(OZ) 🦘in my campervan 🚐 travelling, drawing, painting and being a crackpot friend and making new friends. I’ve watched your videos for years now the 1st one was similar to this about 5years ago now Thankyou 🙏🏼 for watering my garden does my 💗 good🦘🤩🏕️🌻🌸🌱 No one is broken we’re naturally reacting to circumstances that change us makes us stronger and more beautiful be kind and give yourself your best💃I could go on lol

[@augusthawley5504]

only just finding your channel for the first time tonight. i'm 20 and have been drawing almost daily since the pandemic hit in 2020. i mostly did portraits and that's still what i lean toward usually, but this past fall when i was waiting for my friends on one of my first days in college, i drew the chairs that were in front of me that they would be sitting in soon, and that we sat on together several times a week. every conversation, new person met, and rainy afternoon that happened around those chairs feels so much more vivid every time i look at that drawing.

[@janisscilley43]

This is a inspiring video, Danny. I have drawn personal items in my sketchbooks. This video, however, has given me another layer to think about and enjoy as I go about my art making. Thank you.

[@kfaulknerstudio]

Powerful. Thank you.

[@SketchBookSkool]

You are so welcome

[@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33]

So weird you said “a relatives butter knife.” I had a strong attachment to that very thing and it was my last connection to my late mother and I struggled to let it go.

[@roostarstuios]

I love what you have to say about sketchbooks and feel the same :)

[@trinityb1857]

Danny, I've been watching your videos for some time now and I just want to say thank you. Like you mentioned in the video, being an artist means being authentic and genuine in your life experiences and your content and work are the only ones that truly encompass what it means to be a true artist. I have always had this deep artistic passion that burns brightly within but have had a hard time knowing exactly what to do with that feeling for most of my life and you have been one of the only people I've come across to help me navigate what it means to be an artist. I'm not trying to write an entire essay, but I just wanted to briefly express how grateful I am because there is no authentic or effective manual on how to be an artist or live your life as an artist.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Thank you!!!

[@jonr6680]

Wow, very wow. Thanks for this (video, but also books & prodigious web output). This is a rare & precious thing, a person who has the courage to express with compassion, sharing their life so openly. And also with such eloquence. I recognise your motivation, my own obsession is journalling, kind of the same memorisation & recall triggers. Getting older, more past than future now... Nowadays technology is a big help but still have dozens of notebooks in boxes that take time to review. Like a portal to the past, incredible how that a random page can resurface so much specific & direct like 20y just shrank to nothing. 'Bad stuff' was an invisible barrier in my mind until one day years later I found I could cope with revisiting the thing. But then was so glad I had that contemporaneous material to look back on.

[@scottnowlin5842]

Lovely chat, reminds me of the artist Frederick Franck who spoke of how his drawing was his meditation.....thanks Danny!

[@SketchBookSkool]

I am a Franck fan too!

[@CinkSVideo]

Exactly what I needed to hear today.

[@kellyro77]

What a wonderful share. Thank you. Yes, I find my artwork evokes memories when I look back at it. I've been going through quite a creative funk lately, and part of it is because of stress, but perhaps I can change the utility of making art from just the pleasure of making something pretty to something to assist with my emotional state.

[@quest42good]

Thank you so much for sharing the feelings and experiences from your life and for inspiration. Your words can be a great explanation of the reason and purpose of art in general. So remarkable and genuine.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Thank you so much!

[@monpetson]

Thank you for this beautiful, touching, inspiring video ❤ you inspire me so much to keep doing my little drawings in my sketchbook even if I feel for giving up because they’re "ugly" drawings... I now understand that it is so much deeper than just making "beautiful" art

[@nelsonosio6615]

Excellent video Danny, thank you for sharing part of your experiences and the drawings that now in this video we discover part of their meaning. I have your pink book that is a dedication to Patty

[@SketchBookSkool]

It's my pleasure

[@marnierose7816]

Thank you Danny for so many inspirational videos and emails❤ Starting drawing at 45, and now on and off for two years has shown me that anyone can draw we just have to dedicate the time and effort, which can be easier said than done. I did a journal of and emotion a day for one year and it is one of my most treasured books and I open and can pick any day and remember that day by the little picture and small description, it’s amazing. Your videos continue to pick me up and to retry and to keep going. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences also and condolences for your first wife and many blessings going forward🫶 Your videos are very much appreciated 🙏

[@peterka4680]

Wow, this is one of the most inspiring and motivating videos I have seen about art. You really bring it to the point. ❤

[@tracyspiegel2794]

Thank you so much for this video, Mr. Gregory. Simple words (and simple drawings) but they conveyed so much.

[@gwenanderson1914]

Thanks so much for this Danny - It is SO true isn't it. I found this happens to me all the time with happiness and much sorrow. It's all there in my daily art journals.

[@bobbibrady9649]

You are amazing, Thank you for being you and caring about art.

[@SketchBookSkool]

My pleasure 😊

[@isabelmartin40]

Dear Danny, Thank you very much for sharing these thoughts with us. This is so extremely valuable to me! ❤ This is like a revelation for me

[@lakritzeslena]

Maybe you're the therapist i always needed ☺️😉 i had several, but they could not help me with my huge problem with my art. I had to quit it altogether and learn that i had value even if i would not create something that people would admire. And now, i can come back to it, and starting without the burden of all of my and everyone elses expectations. And right now i try to draw as much as i can, so when inspiration strikes, it finds my hand and brain prepared. This is kind of unrelated but I'm so thankful that you're helping me with being an artist. I have so many feelings and stuff that wants to be expressed. And, some things have no other way of comming to expression. Listening to you just reminded me of some works that want to be painted or drawn

[@BombusMonticola]

Dear Danny a fellow empath. When I saw this video with my ears and heart open, I understood. I understood what originally motivated you. I understood it was a way of securing feelings and emotions that were anchored in certain times of your life. I got the value of your artistic journaling. I understood with your jounals you get to bring your emotions and memories with you on the journey from then on. They aren't left behind. What a wonderful reason and motivation. Being an artist of sorts myself who painfully avoids references and photos felt both a sense of regret and guilt for not having had a similar reaction to some of my own difficulties or precious memories. However I no longer have any such excuse if thats where I wish to go. Thanks for your openess.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Thanks for your lovely comment!

[@beegreene9744]

I find myself sometimes feeling negative about the way you deliver your message, with profound speech and a dignified demeanor, but today I feel thankful for the art of story telling and your ability to encompass emotion in the way you teach. Thank you, for what you do, and for doing it unapologetically. Your content propels me forward in my art journey, even on the days I don’t particularly enjoy your deliverance, the content is always golden and always something I NEED to hear ! ✨

[@SketchBookSkool]

I'm sorry my manner is grating. It's just the way I am, alas. I hope you can continue to get past it.

[@CherylJ-vw8yo]

This is the most powerful video I have ever watched on KZbin about the reason we make art. I have learnt so much more in 24minutes than any other course I’ve done. I now have a reason to draw and be done with trying to make perfect art. Thank you Danny.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Wow, that’s amazing to hear!

[@trishdavison1]

Hi Danny, thank you so much . I really enjoyed listening to you today. I suffer from Anxiety Disorder and I try to paint, sketch and color every day and it is help me tremendously. You are very sweet to share all this information with us again thank you so so much.

[@illustrita7388]

Hello Danny, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching your videos since, to try to help with my art block. I have had art block many times before so I thought I understood it pretty well, but watching your videos I realized I only understood the surface level of why I could not draw anymore. Life has been pretty rough for the past couple of years and I never had the time to stop and evaluate and just be honest to myself about how I was doing. Listening to you talk has given me more insight and motivation than I ever had these past few years. Thank you for your content, it is both so comforting and educational, and it has helped more than you could ever know

[@jennifergil2037]

This touched a deep wounded part of me. Thank you because I believe I was meant to see and receive this as part of my healing. I have experienced a lot of loss and have avoided doing any art even though I have always been very gifted in this area. I have associated a lot of pain with it. My stepmother who is now gone was the first one to show me how to draw but she was very abusive. My brother, who is now gone was a very talented artist and gave me my first set of colored pencils; they were his used colored pencils. I was supposed to be an art major and never finished college because I was recklessly dealing with past traumas. When I think of how much better I could have developed if I had never stopped it brings feelings of regret. In therapy last week I was told that art could be a way for me to connect with and deal with the grief of losing my brother by keeping his memory alive. I really like everything you said because I believe I am meant to do something meaningful and use my gift to help others. That is what you’re doing and it is inspiring.❤

[@maysunday5077]

Thank you so much for this. So often we get caught up in "makng a good drawing". The drawing i did of my parents when they were sick was not great but it was very powerful. i can evoke those feelings 20 years later just thinking about that drawing. Thank you for reminding me of the real value of our creative impulses.

[@hunyaa7280]

I'm really glad that this video came up on my feed. I do illustrations as a freelancer and as of recent I've been really struggling with perfectionism, I've gotten very doubtful of my skills, I've begun procrastinating, I avoid art as a whole and, all this feelings has made me fear drawing. I guess I would say I'm burnt out from having to constantly pump out that creative juice for others and I feel tired to draw for others and not myself. But, watching your videos has made me feel inspired to start drawing again. I cried watching several of your videos. I still have a bit of fear to start again. But I should take things slowly and draw the things that I want to draw. ❤

[@lisasremnant]

I bought the Art Before Breakfast book a couple of years ago. I still go through it when I have an art block. It’s great!

[@elizabethwareing8818]

This has made me reflect on some ‘stuff’ I have that I wouldn’t dream of being bothered to draw but now I feel I will look at them in a different light - thank you

[@mjulisp]

I just found your channel, and so glad I did. I graduated from art school 2 years ago, and I've been struggling to make art. I've been doubting my capacity for creating and trying to run away from my own thoughts. The way you talk about drawing were my thoughts before entering school. This was really inspiring. Thank you so much

[@karenturner-cf7vq]

I draw and paint, after seeing your demonstration that included scribble drawing, I had a go at scribble drawing, I find it quite relaxing, doing it my way, I have done this method a few times.

[@ninsnleinsn]

Wow. Thank you for being so vulnerable with us. It is so powerful. And thanks for this amazing and inspiring video. It has given me a whole new outlook on what to sketch instead of always searching for endless prompt lists or photo references.

I’ve listened to this video multiple times on multiple days. It resonates with me. I reckon I’ll continue to listen to it. Good talk.

[@monicas.studio]

I just found this channel and cannot get enough of it. Danny, thanks for this. Thanks for the way you share what you love with us. Thanks for being soo patient and inspiring! ❤❤❤

[@FranOnTheEdge]

This is daunting. I have no visual memory, I cannot conjur up images of people in my mind's eye. I hope this doesn't mean I can never inject feeling into my art. That would be sad.

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jerrygill4828]

I will keep this video to remind me that my paintings / drawings don’t have to be perfect. In fact, I think I’ll use some of these crayons that have hardly been used because i couldn’t get perfection out of them.

[@ktrain-hj6jm]

Oh THANK YOU for this! I love what you’re saying! And I love that pug in the background! 💕

[@PaintAndDrawTogether]

Danny, this touches the heart and soul deeply. You have an amazing gift to express the inner feelings in a such profound and eloquent mastery. It helped me understand why when I visited Louvre museum in Paris many years ago and stood in front of one of the old masters paintings with a beautiful girl laying dead in the lake with a blanket of flowers all around her, I could not stop crying. Even now when I think about that painting Ophelia (John Everett Millais), I feel the same. It was very powerful experience the artist passed on centuries later to all viewers. Thank you.

[@JackieNormSmith]

You have given me a whole new perspective on my approach to my art. I now have a greater appreciation for not only my own creativity but for others as well. Thank you so much.

[@ByThaisQ]

What a beautiful video! In the past 7-8 years, I've gone almost 100% digital, but 2 days ago I decided to pick up an unfinished book and get back into it. I had completely forgotten about how they keep memories- something that's often lost when it comes to my ipad. Thank you for reminding me of that. I've been binge watching your channel for hours and it's so inspiring that I'm taking a 10 minute break from work (mind you that I am currently working on a drawing FOR work) to go draw on my sketchbook right now!

[@themadhousediaries]

I just drew my dog for the first time in my life while listening to this video ❤ Thank you 🫂❤️

[@SketchBookSkool]

That is awesome!

[@AuntieLouGA]

Wow. Thank you Danny for sharing so deeply, personally and richly. I feel really moved and I resonate with what you’ve shared so much. I had some dark times over the years and a few years ago I destroyed those sketch diaries of that time and I kind of wish I hadn’t now. Not to future self. Thanks for putting yourself out there.

[@natalieanderson7732]

WOW!! What you say is so true. The more I draw the more I feel. Thank you for the many drawing lessons and essays.

[@JoAnneSmith-di8ok]

You sure gave me a lot to ponder. Right now, my art is my own. It has been my own for 47 years. I never gave much thought as to what I am sharing. I am in the zone when I am working. For everything I create there is definitely a memory. I am trying to enjoy every moment. Thank you for sharing your viewpoint.

[@Madpencildust22]

I use to do this and didn’t know it was a drawing journal but I still remember the feelings, the day, and the memories. I miss drawing

Oh wow. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing about the relationship between our emotions and making them as a drawing, for our beautiful memories! So precious! I love this video ❤💖😊🫶🙏🙏

[@jerrygill4828]

Such a beautiful video. I have paintings that I don’t remember even painting because they were all about perfecting, instead of painting. People say, “Oh how beautiful”, but they don’t want to take them home….thats because the paintings show no feeling…..not even to me, because I don’t remember painting them.

[@jonathandgardner8435]

I just watched this video-it was the first of yours that I have watched. I am 62 years old, and still needed to hear this. I have carried a lot of fear about exploring and developing my artistic side, largely because of the inherent emotional content. Your words have provide me with a much more balanced and more healthy context within which to view it. I can't express how much this means to me. It literally can be a pivotal realization for me; I can feel the possibility of artistic freedom in a way I haven't before. My words don't carry the weight I want them to, but I want you to know I mean it when I say "Thank you".

[@manuelescaida9084]

After your video i watched at my first sketchbook and it has much more value than the newer ones. In the first sketchbook i drew with love. Now i kinda lost it !

[@SandyBanks-vk5dl]

When my older brother died, I started trying to capture him in watercolor… it’s not great art, but it is about being able to remember him… and I’ve been following you for a couple of years, drawing my life. I’ve done three illustrated journals, but now I want to take part in your Illustrated Life course to see how I might improve because that is my word for 2024… improve. You do so much to help me reach my various goals, Danny, and I appreciate your sharing tender parts of your life with all of us.

[@Bunnykisses1000]

Ive been following you for awhile (just now realized i wasn’t subscribed)..but i feel like this video is one of your most important ones, and really resonated with me. Even a few tears fell. Im a portrait artist but now feel i need to do this as well.
