Here in the west we get a tough break for our limited colors in the fall. However, it is truly magical when you are surrounded by a single color. It feels like the light from the yellow aspen (or cottonwoods) penetrates you and fill you with light. What a lovely book of memories from a lovely part of the world!
Harriet, I love your concertina sketchbook. So happy you and Ant were able to make this bucket list trip. We hope you’ll be back to visit the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce in the four corners area. I have been enjoying painting in my sketchbook more and more, taking it with me when we go on road trips. Thanks again for sharing your trip with us.
Thank you for the sketchbook tour as well as your thoughts and impressions (and Ant's) of Yellowstone. I am so happy to hear that you had a wonderful trip and that weather and people were nice 😊. I live in NW Montana just south of the West entrance to Glacier National Park and I always tell people that the best time to visit is mid to late September ... no one listens to me and they visit in June when it is cold and rainy... So KUDOS to you and Ant for picking the exact best time! And for hopefully having a wonderful "reset". I will watch again - those paintings are beautiful! I love small landscapes both to view and to paint. ***Edited to add: Also, the video pace and mix of sketchbook, video of the park and you two ... wonderfully put together to tell the story.
I’m so happy you enjoyed your trip! I live in Utah and am lucky enough to go to Yellowstone at least once a year. Your paintings are beautiful!! Thank you for sharing and teaching us your amazing gift of watercolor painting!❤
I loved your Yellowstone sketches! And, I was so happy you and your husband enjoyed the beauty, the animals, plants, and the majesty of the West. Thank you for sharing.
Montana, the place of my heart! 💚 Your wee sketchbook paintings and the diorama really capture the feeling and essence of the land. Thanks for sharing! I’m glad you were able to experience the beauty of such a magical place. 🩷
Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure!!! Appreciated both of your input... incredible scenery and you managed to show some of the beauty!!! We enjoyed a family reunion there ... fantastic!!! Thank you from a California Gramma ❤️
Dear Harriet, looks a great place to visit. Thanks for showing. What stunning scenery. Well done on painting such an incredibly huge landscape in that tiny little sketchbook 😊xx But you captured everything wonderfully 👍
Wow! How beautiful Yellowstone is!!! So happy for you that you got to go and enjoy yoyrself.❤ I love all your paintings in your sketchbook. You would think its too small to do much, but you got some really pretty scenes done in it! Thank you so much!!❤
I've been enjoying and learning from your videos for over a year now but have never been brave enough to comment. How very fun that you got to come to the US. My 8yo daughter said that it was too bad we didn't get to see you, as my children vicariously enjoy your art in the background of their lives as they go throughout the day. I hope you do get to return some day! I love the diorama at the end and am hoping to try my hand at something like that very soon!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s amazing to hear that your children enjoy my art. I hope you all get a chance to create something special together soon!
What a fantastic trip, Yellowstone is on my bucket list too. Not too far from where I currently live, would be able to drive there in a couple of days and hope to get there maybe next summer. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am so glad you and Ant were able to get this opportunity.
Thanks for your kind words! Yellowstone is truly an incredible place, and I hope you get to experience it next summer. It’s definitely worth the drive!
Fantastic vignettes! So glad you had such a great trip and did something so “outside” your day-to-day in England. 😊 a trip you’ll never forget-I felt that way when I visited the Grand Canyon. But I bet it was wonderful to get home!❤
Harriet, you're insanely talented. Good for you that you captured the moment in watercolour! Beautiful photos from Ant, and wonderful artwork from you. Well done 👏🏽 x
I’m so glad you got to experience our Yellowstone park!! It is an amazing place. I’d go back in a heartbeat!! Your paintings are lovely! Ant looks so happy to be there. (I’d rather see a wolf up close than a grizzly bear.). Thank you for this sketchbook tour!!☺️
This was great for me to see your take on my neck of the woods. I live close to Yellowstone and love my mountains and wildlife. It was interesting to see what you thought of the park. I laughed that your husband wanted to see a wolf up close. Wolves are very fierce and mean. They are not like dogs at all. Thanks for your video. ❤
Yeah he reprimanded me for saying that as of course he doesnt really! He knows all about them, he's just very fond of them and we dont have them wild in the UK.
Wonderful trip! Our oldest son and family live in Bozeman and we’ve visited several times. It is definitely a beautiful part of our country, we love going to Yellowstone! But it’s too far from NC where we live! I miss my two grandkids and of course dad and mom. 😉 Thank you for sharing!
What a privilege for you to do such an amazing trip. I believe you captured the most beautiful landscapes of the park. I hope someone day my partner and I do the same. Big hugs for you.
Thank you for sharing your trip to Yellowstone with us. I’ve been on trips and have taken my watercolors and small book like yours with me but I haven’t used them, I don’t know how to start. Your tip of starting with the skyline is useful. I’ve traveled to Ireland and just got back from Poland and would love to paint tiny pictures. Will you be teaching a lesson on how to start one in the future? ❤
What a beautiful trip Harriet ! Your little sketch book paintings are amazing, I always think I would sketch when I go on a trip , take book and paints and then end up doing none because I don‘t know how to . I must admit I have never painted en plein air! It scares me ! Would you please give us tips on how to do that ? It would be brilliant! I always watch your videos and also own two of your books, I am a big fan.😊
I just love this and thank you for sharing. I recently tried doing some plein air painting and really enjoyed it. The finished product could at best be considered a sketch for a future painting, but the process was very uplifting. I will keep watching for tips and tricks to make the experience more successful. Your trip looked inspiring!!

What a beautiful tribute to one of America’s beloved national parks!
Thanks Jan, it's such a special place. I'm so glad I eventually got my paints out and started capturing it.

I love Yellowstone and have been there a couple of times. It was lovely to see it through your paintings.

This is exactly what I dream of doing in near future!!❤

Ant was in his element! We had a great time.
Wow
Beautiful beautiful paintings! I made myself a little concertina sketch book but haven't decided what to do with it just yet
Wonderful!
I love them! Especially the last one where you don't paint the whole background. Beautiful 😍😍
Thanks so much! 😊
This was so interesting and I Iove your little sketchbook, very inspiring. It's made me want to visit there now.
