One Year - Four Field Sketchbooks. 

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.

Beautiful video, thank you.

So nice to see you and your sketchbooks. You’ve been missed.

Thanks for sharing these, Marty. What a treat to see your 2023. I especially love your trees!

I absolutely loved seeing your sketchbooks! You are inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

Love your sketchbooks! Thank you.

Beautiful sketchbooks, thank you for sharing. I am inspired to try this for each season too!

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.

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! 🌳

Absolutely stunning, Marty! Thank you for sharing your art and thoughts, with us. ❤

Lovely sketchbook tours. Thanks for sharing these and your thoughts Marty

I always love a good sketchbook tour; it's really inspiring! Thank you for sharing your work.

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.

Thank you. I am so inspired now 😊

Great idea to sketch the seasons. Tour sketchbooks are wonderful. Thank you for sharing them.

Thank you for sharing these Marty.

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.

Thanks for sharing your art and your thoughts.

Beautiful sketchbooks-nature-our true home❤ thanks for sharing

Wow that was a beautiful sketch book journey Marty, thanks for sharing 🙂

Very inspiring and lovely video, your work is lovely! Thanks for sharing. I too love painting trees, they are such fascinating individuals.

Thanks for sharing your lovely work! ❤

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

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

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!

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!

Beautiful sketches and beautiful reflections! Drawing is our time of peace, which is definitely needed in this world.

Hey Marty! Good to see you!❤

Thank you so much for this I loved listening and looking, beautiful art and words..🥰

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.

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🙏🙏🙏

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.

Thanks for sharing Marty. I always love to look at your sketches. Beautiful work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for sharing your own unique way to see nature. So Beautiful!

I’m so excited for this !

New subbie, here. I’ve seen you with James and Steve, and so enjoyed your podcast with Lindsay. Lovely sketchbooks! Great video!

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!

How about painting the four seasons there with the Holbein Irodori Gouache set?

I only really 'see' you here on RU-vid 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

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!

Lovely! Wonderful video! What kind of sketchbooks do you use?
