Wow, this is incredible! The first time I discovered the art of Robert Bateman was in 1985, I was 14 years old and I was taking drawing lessons. My teacher had a whole bunch of books on art including the famous book The art of Robert Bateman. As soon as I opened this book, I was fascinated and almost immediately, I wanted to reproduce one of the paintings in the book in acrylic. I remember it like it was yesterday. A superb leopard straddling a large branch in a tree. Glad to find you again thanks to KZread and to see that you are continuing your magnificent work.

Our environment IS our life. Philosophy and Art go hand in hand. Thank you Mr. Batemen.

I Love Nature! I agree with your philosophy! I Love your Work!

Thank you Robert Bateman. I agree and find my time in my wild garden, observing nature, to be a wonderful antidote to the stress of this world. I am a landscape painter and find inspiration and peace of mind in the outdoors.

Love this video, probably watched it 10 times already, Thank you for the inspiration Robert Bateman!

"Worrying is useless." "Taking action is useful." But being properly informed is best of all.

Hauntingly beautiful....

I was waiting at the bus stop this afternoon. I was watching a sparrow fly over the road. I noticed an insect. I watched as the sparrow caught the insect in its mouth. I thought wow. Amazing!

Pleasantly surprised to find out that another one of my favourite artists is just chilling here on KZread without my knowledge.

I'm so glad Bob is doing so well. I took his last Master Class with him in 1992 and he was so sweet and so approachable. I even gave him a shoulder rub!! I spent a week immersed in his philosophy and Art with a Captial A!! (that's what he told us every day)

I have always love Roberts work. This video is very well done and I have learned so much more from it.

loved it, just loved it

I appreciate the video, at a time of such imbalance, especially in our youth. Thank you for all your beautiful efforts in OUR behalf to see, feel and be more of this perfect planet. xxx

Very inspiring, Thank you for everything Bob😁🍻

Wow where have you been all my life. Jerry Bingham posted this link and wow am I glad he did. My parents brought us up around nature and all it entailed. My Brother especially is completely attuned with nature. He knows so much more than I in that the names of every plant etc. Thank you for this video it is beautiful. Joyce Ann Hampton, Kansas

Thankyou Robert Bateman for reminding us what beauty nature is in all her glory in your art, which I've always loved more than modern art which can look like a bit of slapstick "deep & meaningful" colourful (or not), brush strokes. That is just my own personal opinion, reflecting in my taste in art, no one else's & i mean no disrespect but in showing Nature in all it's myriad of expressions, it takes a person to really look at what is being shown to us and you do it so well, Mr Bateman.

robert babey

yes it is, thank you 😸✌🏼

❤

Love the video. Great work but I really love the message. The destruction of Nature needs to stop. The sense of place is essential to the soul.

Enjoyed your video and your book Life Sketches -A Memoir and cant wait to share it with my son who is an artist and will enjoy it as well. Thank you.

I think Robert Redford should do a movie about Bob's life and art. He looks so much like him and they sound alike as well!!

Love your art.

I find your paintings very very lifelike. I feel like I've seen the paintings because they're so realistic or I'm in the paintings because they're so realistic and that's symbolic to me I like it it's good job keep it up

Thanks for sharing , I will forward your thoughts to others who have no dreams.

amazing bateman !

i was in this exact same room with robert batmen and my class was their to because my teacher is his daughter

yeah I don't think going outside is going to cure depression or any other mental health conditions

ADHD can not be “cured” by being outdoors, unfortunately. The only “fix” is educating society on the disorder.

Typical american painting style, realism with no style and no soul.
