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'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 ❤😊
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 🙂
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 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 😊
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!
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 🙂
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😊
I completely agree. I think I want to be making the kind of RUclips 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 😃
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!
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 😅
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.
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!
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! 🌸🐈⬛🪴
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.
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 😊
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
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 😊
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.
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 😊

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
Thank you, and you're right there! 😄

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

I'm here to follow any journey!
So appreciated, thank you 😊

Thank you! And yeah, that's OK, because there's no point in them staying if they don't like this style of video. I'm good with it 😁
This feels more authentic Alex. Go for it x
Thanks, it definitely is. I'm doing the things I enjoy, like setting nature clips to music and showing art process. Excited about video making again 😊

Hi Cynthia! Thank you 😃 Fancy not noticing all that hard work editing 🤣 Oh well, I won't hold it against you 😉 More garden and cat - check 😁✔️

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! 😊
Thanks for watching 😀
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.
Thank you! Great topic, I'll think about how to describe it 🤔🙂
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 😊
Thanks very much, Sarah 😊
I’m rebooting in 2025 too
Good luck! 😀
Hi Alex, I would still watch but you went off the boil, moving somewhere else. I hope your new reboot gets back on RUclips...
Hi, I didn't move anywhere else as such, I just ran out of enthusiasm and time over the summer 😊 Back here now though! 😃
Might be nice if not everyone on RUclips was flogging something from China 🤔
Definitely not planning to do that 🤣😅
