One Year - Four Field Sketchbooks.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- In 2023 I had the goal of completing four sketchbooks, one for each season. I tried to stick to that goal. In this video I hope to connect you to the nature and the art. I even share an excerpt from a poem I wrote once.

Good to see you Marty. You’ve been missed. Thank you for sharing your year of lovely sketchbooks with us. Beautiful. Hope to see you again soon.
So kind. ❤️😊
This video is such a gift, Marty. So much beauty to find in both, your drawings and your words. Love the colourful autumn leaves sketches! 🍂
It was pretty cold here in January and we had some snow which I always enjoy! Now there is already a promise of spring in the air. Best wishes and keep sketching trees! 🌳
Thank you my friend. I know you share a love for nature and trees. Hope you are doing great and looking forward to springtime.
Great idea to sketch the seasons. Tour sketchbooks are wonderful. Thank you for sharing them.
Thank you Karen. Much appreciated.
Hey Marty! Good to see you!❤
Awwww, thank you! Very nice of you to say this.
Thank you for sharing these Marty.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Love your sketchbooks! Thank you.
Beautiful video, thank you.
Thank you for your inspirational video. Capturing the beauty of nature and the changing seasons is something we could all benefit from and you are a great example to us all. Your curiosity and wonder are refreshing and beautifully conveyed.
I absolutely loved seeing your sketchbooks! You are inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Your paintings are so lovely. Landscapes are so hard for me because my brain doesn’t want to simplify the shapes. Your paintings are very inspiring
Thank you so much. I think it helps to just start blocking things in and not worry about whether it looks good or not.
What a treat! I love looking through sketchbooks. What a beautiful series and your videoography brought us right there with you. You have a distinct style! Fabulous!
Thank you Lindsay. You're very kind. A year of sketching flies by doesn't it?
Wow that was a beautiful sketch book journey Marty, thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you for checking it out. Much appreciated.
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing! Lovely country, lovely art. I've missed your videos. Lindsay Weirich mentioned she's doing a podcast with you, posting tomorrow, which made me check your channel again, and THERE you were!
thank you so much. Lindsay is just the best. She’s legendary and a first rate human. Thanks for coming over again.
Lovely Marty, I got to see the change of seasons and landscape in your paintings, loved the varied greens, the lone barn on the hill, the tractor, especially a split second of 2 hens/ chickens in the last pages pf May-June 2023. The tall tree, the video of Lake Superior...thank you for these glimpses into your ecology..nature keeps us fresh...oh! How could i forget the penmanship.....🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉namastey and thank you🙏🙏🙏
Very kind of you to comment and mention some of the sketches. It's a labor of love that's for sure. Thanks for noticing the penmanship, I do practice that. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your lovely work! ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful sketchbooks-nature-our true home❤ thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing your art and your thoughts.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Julia. Not everyone does that and it's always appreciated when people care enough to leave a kind comment.
Thanks for sharing Marty. I always love to look at your sketches. Beautiful work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Pete. You're a good friend.
I always love a good sketchbook tour; it's really inspiring! Thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you very much for leaving this kind comment.
Lovely sketchbook tours. Thanks for sharing these and your thoughts Marty
Awwww, thank you so much. Hope you are doing great these days!
Very inspiring and lovely video, your work is lovely! Thanks for sharing. I too love painting trees, they are such fascinating individuals.
Very kind of you to leave a nice comment. Thank you!!
I’m so excited for this !
You’re the best. ❤️😊
Thank you so much for this I loved listening and looking, beautiful art and words..🥰
Thank you very much!
Wonderful and inspiring 🥰
Thank you so much! And thank you for watching!
Your sketchbooks are such works of art! I'm more of an urban sketcher, and yet trees dominate my city compostions, too. What would we draw outdoors without trees? (That's rhetorical 😉) Thank you so much for sharing!
❤️😊Thank you!
❤
So nice to see you and your sketchbooks. You’ve been missed.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
How about painting the four seasons there with the Holbein Irodori Gouache set?
Nice idea. I have 3 of the four sets.
Lovely! Wonderful video! What kind of sketchbooks do you use?
Hi Lynn - Thanks for the question. These are Pentalic. I used these because @jamesgurney James Gurney uses them and I like using gouache as well as watercolors.
I also use a Hahnemuhle and Etcher sketchbooks. I just recently started to make my own, which is fun.
I'm new to your channel thanks to Lindsay Weirich's podcast. I really, really enjoyed you sharing your sketchbooks and videos. I hope to get out more to draw and paint. Your paintings are so simple yet I could easily lose myself in them. Excited to go back and see your past videos and new ones to come. Thank you.
I loved your sketchbooks. Just gorgeous!. The video sound bites of birds, cows, crickets, water gurgling made me feel like I was at some of your water color scenes. Thank you for sharing.
Very kind of you to leave a comment. Thank you!
Beautiful sketchbooks, thank you for sharing. I am inspired to try this for each season too!
beautiful, thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing these, Marty. What a treat to see your 2023. I especially love your trees!
Thank you. I am so inspired now 😊
Thank you Marty for sharing your amazing talent and life with us. Stunning!
Awwww, not sure I have any amazing talent, but it's very kind of you to say that. Hope you have an awesome day!
Beautiful sketches and beautiful reflections! Drawing is our time of peace, which is definitely needed in this world.
Very much so. 🙂
Lovely sketchbooks, Marty! I've always said you're a great artist, but I see improvement from your last sketchbooks! Keep on painting our beautiful USA, and please make more videos! I know YT isn't at the top of you're list when busy with work and life! We all miss you!
That is so kind of you Kelly. It's nice to hear from folks that they see improvement. I decided a few years ago that I had to stop trying to meet the demands of the YT algorithm, which wants you to post constantly. Instead I'm just trying to focus on quality over quantity. Thank you for the support, it means a lot to me. Have a great day!!
New subbie, here. I’ve seen you with James and Steve, and so enjoyed your podcast with Lindsay. Lovely sketchbooks! Great video!
Thank you so much for the sub and for supporting Lindsay!
Here Summer is the most dreaded season because it's so dangerous and so many people die just from the heat that we experience here in Phoenix Arizona most people believe that Arizona is All Desert it is the farthest thing from that. Yes we have stunningly beautiful desert and we have the only place in the world where saguaro cacti are grown plentifully. What people don't realize is that you can go two to three hours in any direction and be in a completely different climate other than the ocean which is about a 7 hour drive away. Autumn is an incredible treat here as far as weather goes and up north and Northeast you find the changing leaves and the Beautiful wildlife winter is nowhere near as harsh here as in other states butt in Flagstaff it can be. Our Dream for retirement which is only a few years away is to move 25 miles Northeast of Payson where it's a small Valley and there are less than 25 human beings. There are Timberwolves and gray wolves up there as well as black bear elk and deer as well as javelinas sadly but they're protected species. Thank you so much for sharing your work it is so stunningly beautiful and so incredibly inspiring. I wish that you had an opportunity to paint our Sedona sunsets which are the most colorful in the world. I look forward to seeing so much more work from you in the future.
Thank you for sharing this. I've had the pleasure of visiting many places in Arizona and definitely agree with you about the diversity of landscapes and weather. Whenever I visit the Phoenix area, I try to make it a point to drive up to Sedona and then on to Flag (as the locals sometimes call it). I'm always amazed at the wonderful changes that take place on that drive. If you can get up north to paint and sketch, I think the weather will cooperate, or you can wait for the other 3 seasons when it's not so hot. :-)
Beautiful work! I'm curious to know if you used a waterbrush for most of these, and which paint brand (your Schmincke?). I've completed a couple of these Pentalic AquaJournals myself, and had trouble with too much water and overworking. You did a fantastic job!
Hi Olivia - Thanks for the questions and kind comments. I do use the Pentel Aqua Brush for most of the work, but occasionally switch to a regular synthetic wc brush. I used mostly Schmincke, but also some Daniel Smith wc’s and gouache.
I didn’t have any trouble with the sketchbooks, but I was using small amounts of water and sometimes gouache. I have heard others mention it though. James Gurney uses these books, although mostly for gouache. Hope this helps.
Hi Marty, I just found your channel via your visit with Lindsey W and subscribed. I used to see you on Steve Mitchell's channel but somehow missed that you have your own. You three and Louise de Masi are my favorites art You Tubers. So now I am going to have to binge watch episodes I have missed here:)
I enjoyed the tour of your sketchbooks and your landscape photography. As a Minnesotan, you really captured the essence in both mediums. I especially like your tractor sketches. (My least favorite are anything with snow - I can't wait for spring!) Seriously though, your sketches are all so well done and evoke both a sense of place and atmosphere which is not easy to do. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. Spring is on the way. Really appreciate the thoughtful comments. Welcome to the channel.
I just watched your seasons sketch book tour. your art work is just beautiful, I love your style and your kind and gentle voice, Thank you for being an inspiration. I am nearly 80 years young from Boise , Idaho and we too have 4 distinct seasons. Thank you again
Thank you so much! this comment made my day. Thank you very, very much Diana.
I recently purchased a small black tool box in which I could store my rotary tool and it's attachments. I wondered what I could do to make it different from the average small black tool box like the one my son has. So, I pulled out my Posca pens and have been drawing on it. It really is looking different now. But, as the box gets used, the acrylic ink will most likely wear off; but, that just means I get to do it all over again and make it look even more different.
Thanks for sharing your books.
Very creative, but then again you are very creative Donna. Good tips.
Thanks for sharing your awesome sketchbooks! It’s so inspiring to hear you talk about the places you obviously love!
Glad you like them!
Absolutely stunning, Marty! Thank you for sharing your art and thoughts, with us. ❤
Thank you so much!
Love what you do Marty glad your sharing it with us :)
Awwwww, that is very kind. Thank you!!
I only really 'see' you here on UA-cam but this video was worth the wait. You should start up an ASMR channel, you certainly have the soothing voice for it!
Just as you came out with the comment about trees a split second before that I was thinking to myself, 'I love trees so much!' In my opinion, there should be more of them..and Dame Judi Dench agrees!!
Besides your landscapes (I really like the double-page spread ones) you're very good at depicting animals. Bison are so cute, I'm glad they have made a recovery. My Mum discovered a documentary about them recently and she loved it. I'm wondering if it was on the PBS channel? She can't remember lol.x
Hi Jane - Love seeing your comments. Always very kind. I haven't seen that doc about the Buffalo, but I'll try to look it up. You, me and Dame Judi Dench are all tree fans. 🙂Hope you are doing well and that you're looking forward to springtime.
I am looking forward to spring, you're right my friend!@@owingsart
Thanks for sharing your own unique way to see nature. So Beautiful!
Thank you very much. Very nice of you to leave a comment.
