STARS! I love birds also, Reese. I hear when they migrate from north too south they cut through Central Park, but, unfortunately, I don't keep up with the time frame. One fascinating occurrence happened to me a few years back right outside my window. I'm a few stories up from ground level and looking out one day noticed a nest. Was super excited and could see the young ones (3) getting a bit restless. I made sure to not miss the fledglings trying to leave the nest. One time though, after hours of watching for a few days or more, I was so tired and needed to step away, but knew it was almost that time. After resting and then checking the nest - all the fledgling were gone and the nest was empty. I was so disappointed: my heart sank. Being in middle of a bustling city and having this occurrence at so close a vantage point will never experience again. Loved your imaginative work in the journal. I think to try "angels" myself. And, yes, what a coincidence with the stars in the book. Hope 2025 will be propitious in your endeavors with UA-cam and Patreon (spelling ?). 💫🦜

Stars🎉 I hope to get inspired as you!

❤Stars!😊 yes to a big creative fun year. Thanks for sharing.

Stars! What a synchronicity to pull out Elizabeth Gilbert's book and find the stars! I love the Finetec gold paints and started a series of mini abstracts in Finetec Gold watercolors combined with various water soluble graphite mediums. I have had Gilbert's book on my to-read since it came out. As you flipped through it, I was inspired to finally read her book. This past year I read Rick Rubin's, The Creative Act, which you would probably enjoy as well! It's full of inspiration and encouragement for all creatives; artists, writers, and musicians. I look forward to seeing where your art journey takes you in 2025🙏🙏🙏

You are always an amazing, wonderful and brave woman and artist, Reese. I hope you do everything you want and plan to. I support them.

I'm loving your sketchbook and your inspiration! I also love birds, though I am not an avid birder. I especially enjoy waterfowl!

Stars. Happy New Year Art friend.

Thank you Reese! You offer so much inspiration and the brilliance of many stars😊

Stars. ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️

Stars! I'm excited to go plein air sketching with our local art league, and my goal is to mix fun art with fine art. (Most of my time is taken up with "fine art.") Your sketchbooks are just lovely!

I tuoi angeli sono bellissimi! Grazie per aver presentato il libro Big Magic, che non conoscevo. Ti auguro un 2025 di successi e divertimento .❤😊👍

I bought a set a while ago and just started using them lately. The smell is awful and I feel sick after painting for 10 minutes. I guess I'm one of those sensitive ones. I have a whole set and I just don't know what to do with them… Maybe I can send them back to the retail art store or maybe Richeson will take them back. The smell is really hard to take.

I'm confused about that first book, I've got the Angela harding printmaking book and a lot of the SAME pictures are in HER book called a year unfolding so who's art work is it!!!??

Happy new year Reese!❤

Thank you for bringing to my attention “Beatrix Potter Drawn to Nature”. May I recommend to anyone interested in this extraordinary woman two other titles from my collection that are special favorites...B.Potter’s Gardening Life by Marta McDowell and At Home with Beatrix Potter by Susan Denyer. Susan

these illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! You are a true artist with the ability to draw from imagination which is incredible. thank you for sharing!

I "re-found" your channel. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful art, beautiful thoughts.

✍️ ink ! Absolutely love your art and videos! Thanks so much for sharing your work. It’s wonderful.❤️

Oohhhh. Some gorgeous books and gifts here! I too, love to get inspired by beautiful art books, and just recently got the Wild Light book out from the library, and it is now on my “to buy” list. I love the Beatrix Potter book. I have one on her life, but this looks like it could have some different paintings and stories that might make it worth while to also buy. Oops. And how divine is the other book! Such a gorgeous outer cover and binding, and you are right - such interesting compositions. What a delightful video - thanks so much!

Really interesting. Loved the books.

Palette is sold out!😭

Would love a Beatrice potter video! My daughter is a toddler and loves books so I’m getting a new appreciation for her along with other wonderful illustrators of children’s books. Happy new year!

Happy, Happy New Year Reese 🎊🥳🎉❤!!!! Thank you for doing this video! I always appreciate videos like this where you discuss various books 📚, art supplies, and other sources of inspiration for you and your work!!! I also really appreciate the links that you provided because then I know if I am looking at the same item that you featured, but I also have the opportunity to give back to you through the small commission that you may receive. I don't see the little palette plates or the flower palette in the links? I would also appreciate a video... or a few!...of your favorite watercolor paints, paper, and brushes with the links provided if that appeals to you? Have a blessed and joyful New Year!!!!❤

Happy New Year Reese! I’m always inspired by your videos. Thank you!

they are beautiful and wonderful gifts. Happy New Year.

Thank you Reese: love all your videos, but this one was so touching and made me think. You have had in the past videos where you offered your personal views and ideas - a chat- and I hope you will make more of those. By the way, the snowman was too cute: an imaginative idea. Living is the biggest test we will face and it is a tough road to navigate so it is wonderful the way you are planning a road map, so to speak, in finding ways to make not so pleasant episodes in your life a bit more uplifting. I have heard the world and life is sort of a "school" for us adults to grow and advance so we all seem to be on the same trajectory. Wishing that all the good that you put out with art, nature, and being a kind person, which you exude, will be in abundance in the New Year. 🕊

Thank you for sharing your uplifting thoughts. Very insightful and beautiful!

Such a great reminder to pull positives from nature and what is right in front of us. We often forget that we do have control of our thoughts and actions amongst all the things we don't have control over. Nice relaxing video to watch. Thanks for the visualization/medication exercise as well.

Wow... the orange 🍊 imagination and body reaction story is pretty profound. Pretty wise association with health effects on negative memories and rethinking effects. Very interesting.

❤thank you for such a beautiful and helpful video. Much appreciated 😊

every so often ii'm blessed w/an unexpected like-minded word-smith whose verbal paintbrush kleig lights thoughts, ideas, activities & knowings... giving back, praying it forward ... you do. Ty.

Such wise words! Thanks for reminding us about the many dimensions of life.

Thank you for this "no nonsense" encouragement Reese. You are very appreciated. Your landscape painting 🖌️🎨 and your snowman ⛄ are beautiful as ever!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!❤

Hi Reese, It was fun to hear the excitement in your voice as you took in the beauty of the fall leaves at your cousin’s home in NC. I can really relate to that type of fall experience. Your detailed approach to depicting the leaves you collected is something to aspire to. Perhaps it’s kind of odd, but I like both very detailed and loosely painted watercolour art. I’m curious about the paintbrush your used in this video. I am frustrated with the lack of firmness in my brushes and watching your video it seemed to me that this might be a good brush for me to have, for the detail and the control. I would appreciate you sharing the details about this brush with me/us or any other brushes you would recommend. Thanks Reese. Have a beautiful day. 🎨🖌Judy

Thank you Reese for an relaxing video. Your depiction of foliage is so realistic that for a moment I thought the top large one was the real thing. Do you think you may depict some individual flowers somewhere down the line? Your habit of taking along a sketch book is great in making an instant drawing; your depiction of trees I do love. I have tried it once, but it caused aggravation due to living in Manhattan and having chaos buzzing around me I couldn't fully relax and enjoy myself. For relaxation involving art if I just let go and not be concerned so much with detail and let my imagination take flight - I enjoy making humorous and witty sketches - then I relax and have fun without the aggravation of trying producing something which I feel is great 🌲⛄

Thanks for sharing your lovely leaf paintings. I also paint as a form of meditation. I do not like to paint seasonal themed art as that just adds to the stress! I find during the holiday season that I encounter a self-imposed dry spell of content to watch from the artists I follow, as many want to paint seasonal themed subjects. Just not interested in that. I guess many artists with UA-cam channels think their followers want seasonal content-maybe most do, but not me. So thanks for the lovely nature themed content!

I live in Ohio and we have three Japanese Maple trees. Their leaves turn a spectacular reddish orange in the fall. 🍁🍂

If you need a long relaxing art session for the start of the holiday session.... this video is calming. Just grab something warm and settle in with me for a chatty session with watercolors.

Sono d'accordo che gli artisti debbano usare l'immaginazione. Arricchisce loro e noi che guardiamo i dipinti. Ottimo video, e ottimi dipinti, grazie mille. 👍👍😊❤

Dream: Hi Reese and thank you for taking the time for another informative video. And, yes, it is a great learning tool to use one's imagination. I used to recreate master copies in the past and got pretty bored with the idea and now I create everything through my imagination and love it. Your previous showing of the ink sketch book was super. I love the way your work is so well thought out and with such precision and accuracy along with creativity. It inspires me to devote more time to creating an art journal. Do you find yourself drawing and creating in your sketch book more of a spontaneous thing or do you set time aside for it? If I don't pick up pencil and paper just when I have the mood to create it soon after dissipates. By the way, your video wasn't too long seeing that you have moved to every other week it could be even a tad longer; but, of course, you are busy with other responsibilities. 🎨🖌

Dream. "Christina's World" is my favorite A. Wyeth painting. You didn't share the story behind the subject, Christina, which adds to the poignancy of the painting.

Dream. 😊

Excellent video, thanks. Yes the perfect composition doesnt exist in nature, we need to edit or move stuff around to try to get it.😊

the purpose of today's video is how learning the skill of drawing from your imagination can help you improve as an artist. These are skills i personally try to develop to improve my work over time. Wishing you all a lovely and creative autumn week! 😊🍂🍁🙏

love your work
