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😊

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.

I’m so happy that you’re staying true to yourself. I really enjoy seeing your authentic journey

Welcome back! I'm excited to see when new things are in store. 😊🙏

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

This feels more authentic Alex. Go for it x

I'm here to follow any journey!

Alex- good for you redefining your channel closer to your heart. “ Courage my love.” ( who said that?)

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 🇺🇦

I wonder, if you could afford 5 or 6 more pencils than the 12 set, which ones of your expanded palette would you choose to buy? And thank you so much for showing your truly amazing swatch book!

Hi Alex, I would still watch but you went off the boil, moving somewhere else. I hope your new reboot gets back on RUclips...

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!

Your words really resonated with me. As a RUclipsr 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 not a utuber but Alex what you bring is yourself and that's what I missed not the newness just saying you bring your authentic self and your compassion to everything 💯 authentic looking forward to seeing you again and all to bring on utube ❤😊

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!

Might be nice if not everyone on RUclips was flogging something from China 🤔

Delighted to see you back. I think this new direction sounds really exciting and I’m looking forward to watching it play out. It sounds just like the sort of thing I enjoy.

I’m rebooting in 2025 too

I fully support your new direction. Too often we turn our hobbies into burden. I have to keep reminding myself of that when I’m out in my yard

Hi Alex from Florida, U.S. I enjoyed your sections in the Nature Conference and look forward to all your videos you put out here on this channel! 😊

Lovely video, Alex. I really enjoyed this one. I have so much respect for you when it comes to making the videos that you most enjoy rather than what the numbers say. Wishing you all the best 😊

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 RUclips to remember why we are here!

Hi Alex! It's nice to see you again. 🤗Your painting is beautiful. I look forward to your RUclips 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! 🌸🐈‍⬛🪴

I like your new stile and I´m looking forward to your next videos! I found, that video making has its own learning process. I wish you all the best to find your way and have a lot of fun and healing! I´d like to hear how you compose your pages.

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.

I would rather not call them mistakes but different effects. For the next artist it might be exactly what makes the work interesting instead of "having it done right".

I carry peanuts. It's my offering.

Thank you so much. Absolutely beautiful. Inspiring.

I want to make one so bad but I'm always at home, and my home country isn't rich with nature neither animals or plants , I'm thinking about drawing from pictures or documentary series , any advice sir? 😢

I'm in the USA and I love Inktense Pencils and pans and I am glad to have found your channel 🎉 again 🎉 I need a link to the exact Fatbook you use. I've found on the website that it says medium texture and a few bars down, Rough 😢 I have the rough paper and I want the smoothest they offer. Thanks for your help ❤

still checking on you, how did your map exhibit go?

Hi 👋 I am just learning Inktense pencils and I love khadi Rag. Is that a smooth paper you have or the rough,? I have the rough. Thank you. I'd like a smooth khadi book. Great progress and I've enjoyed looking at your work 🎉

As an extremely proud Momma of two LGBT+ kids I thank you for your bravery and service to the community. I wish you nothing but blessings on your journey. ❤

I really like your definition

So many things to say! 1) I love your voice, its so innocent and calming. 2)We have Gorse here in Hawaii and it is invasive but its nice to know that I can use it for something. Hawaii is the invasive capital of the US I think. 3) I completely agree with you that there is something fulfilling about painting a plant with the plant itself lol I'm working on doing this with a plant called Purple Heart here, also invasive I think. Its native to the Gulf of Mexico. You should search it up though, it really is a beautiful plant. It was my last natural journal entry.

This is so helpful! I just bought Inktense pencils to use on fabric, think I will practice on paper as you have done. Thank you! I am happy to be a new subscriber!

You have no idea how important this video is. Nature helped me heal from my past traumas. You are adorable and Iʻm so glad that this is who you are. Your kindheartedness is something we all need more of in our lives. I love seeing how dedicated you are to this and I love that you were able to take this on as a career path of sorts. I am working in that direction now as a primary school garden teacher. Your artwork is stunning and so raw/real. You are absolutely inspiring others with your work. Keep spreading your wisdom and positivity. Thank you so much for this!

Love your journal - well done!

Thank you for sharing your expertise. You are very knowledgeable technically and your painting/drawings look beautiful.

You must be quite wealthy. Good for you but what colours do you reccomend for those on a limited income?

Great videos showing your changing up of mediums, very helpful. THANKS

I think you are a wonderful human being, period. I, a straight woman as straight as one can be, could not care less about people's sexual orientation. I have some friends who are homosexual and I just like them because of their being. I can explain why transphobia and homophobia have skyrocketed. It is because this "thing" is being pushed upon everybody SO aggressively by politics and media, and parents get pissed off by these themes being pushed upon their little ones in school in a very unhealthy and sick way. What do sexgames have lost in school with kids who can bearly understand the alphabet? If one is not comfortable in one's body it is going to show up at a certain age, I have no doubt about that at all, and I think that anybody in their right mind can figure out that this must be extremely confusing and depressing and of course, help is needed in any way the person concerned is asking for. But, we should not allow greedy doctors to "help" people transition while they are still much too young to understand the consequences. I have seen this happen to a friends' teenage girl who wanted to transition and is now, 4 years later, a physical and emotional wreck who needs to be watched 24/7 because she became suicidal. What is so bad about waiting a couple of years longer?? These young people are damaged for the rest of their lives, it is criminal! My homosexual friends also say that the pushing of this topic is getting on their nerves and they experience comments now that they have never ever experienced before. They could walk hand in hand on the streets and be perfectly fine, nowadays they do not feel comfortable anymore doing that, thanks to politics 😞 Why cannot we go back to normal times and just see people's value as they are? Why do we even care about what preferences others have in life? If we are approached in a way we do not like (I was once by a lesbian woman) we can express our disaproval and let the person be in peace and respect their honour, right? Love and light to everybody!

Just beautiful! I started Nature Journaling about 6 years ago, and it fills me with peace to be outside with nature. Ah, the birds! Thank you for this inspiring video. I look forward to viewing your other videos and to keep journaling myself! Just an amatuer, who's still learning to draw. I recently retired mostly from a teaching career and so am looking forward to being outside beyond the summer months.

WOW your journal is so lovely

I would of never guessed that you are a woman/genetic female/born a female/transman/XX. When you say that your body will always be trans, do you mean that your body will always be female because you are a female who transitioned to a transman?

Thank you.🏴‍☠️

hello Alex, I am inspired! Started painting and such about six months ago, mainly for healing reasons. I wonder if you can expand on what is your "freelance career", is it still on environmental science? I am a biologist trying to finish a phd and am considering not continue in academia, but also don't know freelancing options where biologist are paid for doing something. If you don't mind sharing, I would truly appreciate some feedback.

Firstly I would love to thank you for sharing your journey. I have been a keen sketcher since I can remember as a child and fan of Disney that inspired me, then Bob Ross, and several others along the way. I moved to Dorset 9.5 years ago and have gone out with my Nikon each time, also been getting that nudge one gets to become a sketcher outside, Nature is something I love and even with photos with my camera it has shown me something I am keen to start learning more and connecting with nature. Journaling out sound like I can do even more so love your channel and as I have been overthinking my kit you have shown me I don't need so much as what I first thought. Now I am kit ready to get started for 2025 but also to experience some of the remaining days of this year. Thank you for all the information here on your channel and for being honest enough to share your journey and the benefits it gives to you.

Beautiful work! New sub here😊

I’m new to nature journaling! Thank you for sharing your art and knowledge! Very inspiring and helpful.
