Beatrix Potter once said-“ I hold that a strongly marked personality can influence descendants for generations”. What an incredible and brilliantly edited video. The journey of research has created a stunningly beautiful composition. The attention to detail and paint colour used is outstanding 😊
Hi Michael, I’m no way an artist but appreciate most works. The amount of research you have put into your latest story into Beatrix Potter’s precise art work was so interesting, it gave a bit more insight into her artwork. Thank you.
Now this is the kind of stuff we need on Netflix - Michael is outstanding in his dedication, passion and talent regarding Beatrix Potter and the artwork. Thank you so much for this incredibly interesting documentary - I’ve learnt a lot! I feel like Michael is an old soul, he’s so talented.
My husband Paul has a Masters in art and we just finished watching your Beatrix Potter video. He was so impressed with your teaching and research. I used to watch you by myself, but he dearly loves your smile, your honest life and how calming your teaching voice. Thanks Michael!!!!! Well done!
Your videos are less of a vlog and more of a documentary, each one. But especially this one. You put so much time and effort in, and it shows, and we love it. Never let anyone say the effort was wasted because your episodes are full adventures with an excellent, comprehensive story, neatly wrapped up. Love your work Michael!! 🎉
You made the arthritic fingers of an old artist who lost his muse positively itch to put pen and brush to paper once more. Perhaps it will be just that, once more, but you've truly inspired me, Michael, and I thank-you.
For me, as a watercolorist, this is your best video ever. The research-my god. I am forever grateful. I had always guessed how Beatrix worked, and I wasn’t far off, but now, to have the actual colors! Thrilled isn’t enough to describe how I feel. And because of the writing slope, the paper, pencils, brushes, and most importantly, your love and respect for Ms. Potter, I feel as though I have been instructed by the grand lady herself! Thank you Michael, for inspiring me and others by sharing your knowledge and talents.
I bought my girls those videos when they were little, and my then 5 year old would run around speaking like Peter, copying his English accent. She's now 19 and a lifetime Beatrix Potter lover, and artist. I showed her your video and she absolutely loves it.
So very much in one single episode: travel, history lessons, a how to and a beautiful piece of art by a very talented Mr M Petherick. Thank you Michael 🙏👍😊👏❤️
Michael, what an absolutely generous thing you are doing by sharing all those hard-researched details of Beatrix Potter’s materials and processes with your YT family. I think you have done your muse a great service and, wherever she is, she is smiling at you.
Ms. Potter is one of my hero’s,her art inspired millions of us to see the world from a child’s perspective. She was a scientist as well and her art reflects her knowledge of each animal she drew. Wonderful video,thanks.
Thank you for a lovely video, it has inspired me to get out the dip pen and nibs that I used at Art School in early 1950. That is all we had in those days. I’m 92 now and still enjoy drawing.
I think we all agree that missing your videos last year was well worth the time you had to achieve the results of your research. This was a beautifully made video and the drawing, watercolor that you created right before our very eyes on that precious drawing box is wonderful. All of your research has led you to finding and using paper and tools from ages ago and discovering the difference between the old and new. You are brilliant Michael! ❤
We used India I nk at school many years ago. Mainly in Geography to outline countries which we had to draw before we filled in cities, rivers etc. I was no artist. Your picture was perfect 😊😊
As an obsessive artist who has tried and failed so many times to recreate the work of Beatrix Potter, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your extensive research and instruction. Keep up the great work! ❤️❤️❤️
Michael research is the number one point in doing what one loves. You have done a lot of research and it shows in this wonderful piece of artwork and thank you for taking us through the history of how Beatrix Potter did her paintings and the paints truly fascinating. The paper mill making the paper Beatrix Potter used and made was an absolute treasure to watch. Thank you Tom for showing us. My dad was an artist and I only found this out when he was hospitalised and I had to go and clear his house out after he passed away. He never spoke about his art work and I now have a few of his paintings hanging in my house. Michael this was a lovely vlog and I hope you get a lot of sales. Have a lovely day.
Michael, I absolutely loved this video 🥰 I enjoy all your vlogs. I started pencil, charcoal drawings in my early teens and that turned into pen and ink (the modern pens!) I always felt something was missing. A teacher suggested adding colour, specifically water colour/wash but I was scared of applying colour. Watching you just now showed me one way and I think a lovely way of using colour. I’m in my early 60’s and gave up on my art many years ago but after this I suddenly feel inspired to ‘have a go’. I am very much a perfectionist so to even consider failure has always caused me to just stop. Shall I be brave and find some of my drawings and dare I say ‘have a go?’ Your passion and skills are amazing and very calming to watch! Thank you so much 🍦🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️
Why are they called "starving artists"? They spend most of their money on Art Supplies. Not only is Michaels work beautiful, it is quality materials. Michael is just as fussy about the paper the prints are on, worth every penny!! Thank you Michael for inviting us into your kitchen/studio.
The biggest thing I would love to see more appreciation is for the artist and the artisan. The paper making process was an art in itself as well as your beautiful work. I hope a generation of children rediscover beautiful art designed just for them and grow to love it enough to pass it down to the next generation.
4 am in Australia,can’t sleep 😴 what a wonderful surprise to see you giving us ,your adoring fans an art lesson, you are such a multi talented person, amazing …loved every minute ❤️❤️❤️
This is an absolutely top-notch video, full of interesting and useful information. I live just down the road from Beatrix Potter's Lake District home, and I've always wondered about her techniques. Now I can't wait to get going with trying out some illustrations using what I've learned here. Massive kudos for all the time, effort and money you've put into researching this. Thank you!
I love this. I've loved the stories and pictures from Beatrix Potter since I was 2-3 years old. My nanna would always read to me and we'd look at the pictures and talk about these characters. I'm now 57 and still hold these memories dear. When I started watching this video I thought, 'well, we'll see how long I last through this.' I thought about skipping some of the bits. But then I just couldn't. I became more and more enamoured. I can't draw very well but I dabble in painting (mostly because I've been dabbling in arts, crafts and music my entire life) just for the mental calmness it brings to me. This video was very good for my mental health. Thank you for such an informative and fascinating journey.
This documentary/instructional video is amazing! Your months and months of research, acquisition of expensive original materials - all your work - is a gift to the artist world. Thank you for sharing this. I hope more people will share this all over the world! God bless you!
0:36; oh my. when my daughter was 3, we watched these over & over until the dvd box went shabby. she is 21 now and just hearing that beautiful intro music gave me such a wonderful memory rush. thank you hun. rest in peace Tom Thumb...
An episode worthy of, and better than, a television programme. Well done. It was SO interesting, visually and verbally. You really have a talent in teaching, painting, AND entertaining. Excellent production.
I'm thrilled with this video. When my children were younger I read them every Beatrix Potter book I could find. I enjoyed her work when I was a child, too. This bit of history on her method was wonderful and absolutely charming. Thank you
Michael, Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Vlog!! So knowledgeable and talented. I expected your bunny to wiggle, turn around, and blink at you!!! Thank you so much!
What a cool vid! Loved seeing the paper making shop and seeing this art form continuing on. I hope they are able to prosper and continue to keep this process alive. Thanks for sharing!
When I was a child I loved the Beatrix Potter books. I never read the stories. It was her artwork that fascinated me. Now as an older adult, I have been teaching myself how to paint with watercolor paints. How wonderful to see how to recreate her beautiful artwork. Thank you for sharing this!
What can I say! This video will go into my saved to rewatch over again. You’ve reminded me why I love painting. It’s the whole process. From gathering the supplies to making the sketches. I’m going to be 69 soon my grandmother was an artist. I just received three large albums of the watercolors she did of wildflowers. Most of these are at least 80 years old. She was poor. She used children’s school tablets and children’s boxed watercolor paint. I will do my best to archive these so that they may last for my great grandchildren. You have inspired me to gather my supplies and begin painting again. Thank you Michael.❤
What an absolutely fabulous discovery I made finding YOU! I love Beatrix Potter! Thank you for doing the research on all of this. I can’t wait to watch more.
Thank you for such a lovely video. You have made me use my writing slope again. Going to use techniques of dry brushing for painting on fabric for embroidery on top. Please see how Tudors made a fine brush using a feather to get thin lines. Felt like you took us on a holiday.
I also fell in love with Beatrix Potter just from watching that little live action bit. As a child growing up in the middle of Brazil, the Peter Rabbit & Friends VHS made such an impact in my life and that of my sisters!
I appreciate your sincerity and knowledge of history and artwork. I would take art instruction classes from you anytime. You're amazing Michael. I think Beatrix Potter would be proud. Thank you!!🐇🖌
I’m never more excited about watching a RUclips video than the moment I see you’ve posted! This one is especially interesting because I too have wanted to paint like Beatrice Potter. You’ve gone so much further into research on her… her paints her style, her paper etc. I know it’s been a work of love finding all of this. To top it all off, you do so awesome creating beautiful videography for us to enjoy. Thank you so much Michael.
This kind of video should be added to the "TREASURED HISTORY RELIVING" foundation. ❤ Outstanding work and such a handsome host. 😊 I am grateful for this incredible work! ❤
Perfick by Pip Burley, the theme music from The Darling Buds of May TV series is probably just ideal for these vlogs about Beatrix Potter and her art. She was a perfectionist and so are you Michael. Mesmerizing to watch, even a little hypnotic. Congratulations on a wonderful project. Daryl in Munich.
Watching the process of paper making was very beautiful, especially knowing the guys are trying to keep the tradition alive. Huge fan of Beatrix Potter’s art, brings me back so many childhood memories.
Michael, I share with you two mantras by which I live my life and I believe you do as well. I hope you will agree. The first is a Russian Proverb I found decades ago, "It matters not that we live, but how." Which, if I rightly remember the original French writing, is "Il n'import quon vivre, mais comment!" The other is, "Life is short; Art is long." You embody both. Thank you for the excellent Beatrix Potter illustration lesson.
Hi Michael. The opening sequence of the Beatrix Potter TV series was simply magical, this was of course enhanced by the title song "Perfect Day". Have fond memories chilling out watching the series. Great video by the way your artistic ability is an absolute pleasure to watch. Keep up the excellent videos.
I’ve never had any interest in doing anything remotely like this…. BUT… I LOVED your video so much! I was gripped the whole way through it and now determined to try one myself! Thank you.
Just the most loveliest video ever. Made, researched and edited all because of the love you have for Beatrix Potter. She lives on because of that love and that is precious. Thank you so much. 💕💫💕
This was so comforting, wholesome, and informative to watch, as you began talking I felt like I was watching a young Mr. Rogers, you have such a natural gift to share with others and take us on happy journeys that make us feel so much better in the world. Thank you so much for this beautiful video, and the inspiration to go paint now!
Seeing how the paper is made was wonderful! Michael, you are a truly gifted artist! I love how you love Beatrix Potter so. Her work was incredibly beautiful, as is yours!
Amazing surprise, was bored today and weather in northern Ireland is wet wet wet so just made my dinner and got a bell alarm to say Micheal is coming on brilliant, so every one hit the bell then you will know when this amazing vlogs come on thankyou Micheal ❤x
This was pure magic to watch Michael.... I was totally mesmerised !! Thank you for allowing us into your world of watercolour :) Your artistic and creative skills are really quite remarkable !!!
This may well be the very best video I've ever watched on youtube. Absolutely superb work. The time you spent researching was well worth it. Are there Emmy awards for youtube?
Your work is phenomenal! I don’t paint, but watercolors are my favorite works of art. I had no idea how much work went into a watercolor painting! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!! 😁👏🏻🤗🥰
Ohhh my goodness Michael, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! ❤️🙏👨🎨thank you for sharing this with us. You are truly an amazing talented human being with an old soul who is so blessed to be able to do what you do and convey/share with others the beauty of the world so many of us would love to live in.
How lovely that you came to her work later in life! I grew very fond of Potter’s work, when I was a child and my grandmother would read Peter Rabbit and also other tales to me during bedtime or in the afternoon in the garden on a blanket with my favourite stuffed pet and afternoon lemonade.
So interesting. I find it hard to find nice paper to write a letter. Glad you shared the paper making process. I love your art and Beatrix Potter. I have a few of your art pieces.. Have a wonderful day. Love Victoria.
Michael, you have given so much to other artists coming up behind you by all the research you have done. I relate to personality traits that make you desire to find out painting details of B.P. Wow! Loving every thing you do from your art to restoration of Chateau. Keep being you!!! Keep inspiring!!!
Idk how i got here or what I'm doing but I'm glad i clicked. Is always nice to hear people talk passionately and in depth about things I don't know anything about. Tanks for putting on the effort to do all that research and sharing
Oh wow Michael, i cannot draw a straight line and have not really been interested in painting as such, but i have so enjoyed watching your video so very much. I loved reading Beatrix Potter as a child, i am now 10 days off from turning 74 and i think if i still had her books i would probably start reading them again. Thank you Michael for your amazing talent keeping Beatrix Potter alive for the young and old.
Such a lovely glimpse in the world of Beatrix Potter. You work is always beautiful, Michael, & your administration for this wonderful artist & author warms my heart. Blessings.
The research was amazing Michael 😊 Your ADHD was employed in such an admirable way, finding the paints, manufacture of paper, finding the modern equivalent. Bravo 👏 ❤
A lovely vlog Michael. You really have matured over the last few years. You still have the same mischievous and fun personality but it is nice to see you engage the audience with your knowledge and showcasing your amazing talents. Thank you ❤
Beatrix Potter once said-“ I hold that a strongly marked personality can influence descendants for generations”. What an incredible and brilliantly edited video. The journey of research has created a stunningly beautiful composition. The attention to detail and paint colour used is outstanding 😊

So glad that people are keeping the old crafts alive!

I love Beatrix Potter's world. And you, Michael, are helping to keep it alive. Thank you!
and now you make the paper and paint, and show , or maybe you go teach , from , start to end ,
His obsession creeps me out a bit.

You are a master. I wish I was born with one tenth of your talent. Your commitment to research is second to none. Thank you Michael.
'Starving artists' is a term applied to artists before the 21st century, as they really did suffer for their art.
@@pumpkinpatch5so did millions who had no talent, very grim for them too

Ohhh my goodness Michael, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! ❤️🙏👨🎨thank you for sharing this with us. You are truly an amazing talented human being with an old soul who is so blessed to be able to do what you do and convey/share with others the beauty of the world so many of us would love to live in.
That tour was very interesting
Loved the tour of the paper mill.. Tom is very likable ❤
Michael, I’m overwhelmed by your talent! That was an amazing video. ❤️😀🇦🇺
How lovely that you came to her work later in life! I grew very fond of Potter’s work, when I was a child and my grandmother would read Peter Rabbit and also other tales to me during bedtime or in the afternoon in the garden on a blanket with my favourite stuffed pet and afternoon lemonade.
So interesting. I find it hard to find nice paper to write a letter. Glad you shared the paper making process. I love your art and Beatrix Potter. I have a few of your art pieces.. Have a wonderful day. Love Victoria.
This is fascinating, I love how you showed the whole process and supplies even how the paper is made!
It’s very relaxing to watch you paint. 🫠😊
Michael, you have given so much to other artists coming up behind you by all the research you have done. I relate to personality traits that make you desire to find out painting details of B.P.
Wow! Loving every thing you do from your art to restoration of Chateau. Keep being you!!!
Keep inspiring!!!
Hello from Penticton B.C Canada , love watching
Idk how i got here or what I'm doing but I'm glad i clicked. Is always nice to hear people talk passionately and in depth about things I don't know anything about. Tanks for putting on the effort to do all that research and sharing
Oh wow Michael, i cannot draw a straight line and have not really been interested in painting as such, but i have so enjoyed watching your video so very much. I loved reading Beatrix Potter as a child, i am now 10 days off from turning 74 and i think if i still had her books i would probably start reading them again. Thank you Michael for your amazing talent keeping Beatrix Potter alive for the young and old.
I’ve just ordered a copy, feel really happy after watching Michael’s excellent vlog.☺️
Such a lovely glimpse in the world of Beatrix Potter. You work is always beautiful, Michael, & your administration for this wonderful artist & author warms my heart.
Blessings.
Your drawing/painting turned out so wonderful! Some incarnation of them would also be beautiful on a 'gallery wall'...
The research was amazing Michael 😊 Your ADHD was employed in such an admirable way, finding the paints, manufacture of paper, finding the modern equivalent.
Bravo 👏 ❤
A lovely vlog Michael.
You really have matured over the last few years. You still have the same mischievous and fun personality but it is nice to see you engage the audience with your knowledge and showcasing your amazing talents. Thank you ❤
