Sir it’s incredible how you’re not at all hesitant in sharing all that you have enquired as knowledge and information and share it with us. It’s a very rare thing now a day. Your videos are not just tutorials there is motivational talk going on, it’s full of important and interesting information that all emerging artists deserves to know from artists like you. Thankyou for being and making this channel.
I feel that’s part of the art sharing a finished product is one incredible part but sharing the skills allows more people to enjoy and discover what is possible as well as leave possibilities for people to create and learn new techniques to share with more people.
He's my uncle.
This motivational quote by Stuart Davies is incredible: "Painting is not difficult, the hard part is convincing yourself that painting is easy". Congrats...
It is an amazing quote by him.
Pablo Kalincausky. So talented yet so modest... and very amusing too. I'm so happy I found Stuart's channel and can look forward to watching all his previous videos!
I love it!!

Yup Bob Ross “Don’t make mistakes make happy accidents”. Good job
watched the entire video I am self taught yt for about 5 years now and still learning so much from great teachers like yourself thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with an old disabled grandma I love the permission to be spontaneous LOL
I’m learning so much (and unlearning even more). Twenty years ago I was exposed to triangular mountains, and huts, and hard edged clouds. I’ve only recently started painting after a few years of illness. Watching your videos is a whole new world! Thank you so much
Sir,, i need a medal in the form of your blessings so that i can develop my own style of painting....
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏
I am glad you said “everyone can paint” I agree, my statement is always that: “if you can sign your name you have sufficient hand/eye coordination to paint, you just need to learn how to”
thank you for reminding me to get back more confidently to my canvas... has been a year since i didn't touch any canvas... i usually do pieces for free for my friends and family and now i can say that i have to start creating for myself... i really identify with your style and i can find myself in every single work of yours... thank you again for inspiring me!... have a great day!...
I love how the eye tricks me into seeing things that aren’t there. So inspirational. Could have watched for several more hours. I think that I’ve been trying to hard for details and being perfect that it’s really frustrating for me. From now on I will use your method. Thank you.
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. As someone who got a BFA in fine arts, but through life, went in a different direction. You've opened my artistic passion again. Now to find those paints long ago boxed away! Thank you sir, for your kind and beautiful instruction!
Thanks, Steve! Let me know how it goes :-)
I lasted until the end. Learning a great deal from you. Appreciate the subtle humour throughout!
Lasted to the end. The finale painting was the medal. ❤️
I'm a Mexican viewer, who having followed my father's advice not to become a painter when I could have done so, went to medical school and turned into a rather good medic. I actually enjoyed it over the years.
However, now that I'm 75, and have a daughter who paints, I decided to give painting a try, just for fun of it.
Your videos have inspired quite a few good ideas, and helped me get rid of many fears.
Hopefully, you'll see what I achieve.
I know the more comments you get the better it is for you. I prefer many comments to one long comment. Well done this is exactly what I need to get out of my head over focusing on the details
I find myself being paralyzed by the fear of wrecking the whole painting, so typically i attempt to replicate and don't do anything that i feel like doing. Great video Stuart!
Hi Stuart, I am already 60yrs old and planning to do paintings in my last remaining years or days, ha ha ha, I really got a lot of tips and techniques from your videos, I was amused by your style of rendering clouds, it's amazing to start with a very dark shade, and your brush strokes really kills me... I'm browsing all your available videos, spent hours (minimum of 6 hrs) mesmerized by your demos, thanks you for giving us the inspirations and reason of not to give up experimenting and learning... thank very much my Idol! God Bless your charitable works.
I've recently put filmmaking aside and have begun painting again after a 40-year hiatus. The superb instruction, fluid, fact-laden commentary and encouragement that you offer is inspiring and exactly what I've been looking for. You give "motivational" a new meaning. Many thanks.
That mysterious, evasive, daunting, unknowable dimension of depth! You are helping us to understand how to capture "it" my personal spatial terror that needs shattering! Thank you Stuart for helping me..to..so..do!
"Frame of mind is very important when doing a painting". Wise words. Lol at your description of your brush become a chisel! Thank you for sharing your talent!
you reminded me of a memory i have stored away. i was a baby/young child in a car seat, my mom was taking me to elementary school and we were driving down from the top of a hill and we saw the sun rise, the way the clouds looked and how the sun peeked through and my mom said “i want to paint that”. that scene burned into my brain. i remember in the moment thinking i’ll paint it for her , but it’s been nearly 25ish years since and i haven’t got the talent to make it how i want. maybe with your videos i can do that one day, thank you for sharing your skills with us !
Just starting off painting with a few paint by numbers. That feeling you talk about at the start... Feeling full.. A rush of energy coming up... I can relate... But I think it's unfulfilled by my attempts so far. Very sure that my mind gets caught up in trying to paint 'something' or make it look like something... Which never feels satisfactory. But when I watch you I get that feeling of freedom... Of creating an incredible image that the mind can't help but be absorbed in. Thanks for the inspiration.
Yeah, Just watched the video again, Still fascinated, still love it. I have prepared my board. I am starting tomorrow, now I have re-informed myself of the technique. THANKS Stuart! I Will Let you Know.
“...clouds like a giant cauliflower in the sky”
😂 That made me burst out laughing!!!
I've been painting a lot of cauliflowers lol
Misted this one last year. Glad I found it now. I always love to just sit and watch you paint and listen to you ramble. I always pick up tips and you inspire me to get in the studio and pick up a brush Thank you
You are the triumph of modesty Stuart. Infinitely grateful for being able to see the process of creation of your art. Thank you very much.
I have always enjoyed standing and looking over a landscape. Even as a teenager I could stand for hours just looking at them. Sadly, I always have people with me, or waiting for me so I cannot stay for as long as I would like. Your paintings look like the old masters. I love watching you make them.
Your free style is so refreshing....just what I needed to see as I have dedicated my approach to painting this year as being more free! Yes.... how could I not watch til the end?! Your work is so fantastic...love it...mesmerizing. Does all the things a painting should do, especially get the viewer involved in seeing more and more. Thank you so much for making these videos!
so glad to follow a real gentelmen and artist.......real artists are allways modest
I am so glad I found your videos. You have opened up painting for me. It's fun again. Thank you.
Superb!!!
You’re technique is absolutely fascinating to me. I am an amateur painter who has had no formal education in art since High School. I absolutely love to paint, but generally have very little idea what I am doing aside from having somewhat of a naturally artistic “eye”. I desperately need simple guidance/tips from true talents like you to give me the confidence to keep going for it and try new things. I am so grateful that I can “take lessons” of this caliber on TH-cam. You are amazing! And original. Thank you.
Sir, get over the shock! You are an inspiration and not all artist's paint yet love beauty and sound teaching! You've struck a harmonious chord and we heard, felt and saw it so I'd say you are a musician too! Double 👍 up
Thanks for teaching. I was so shy to paint for years but now I start again. You are inspiring and helpful. Love you
You just said what I was thinking.
I’ve only just watched this, 4 years late, and its probably the most inspiring of your videos I’ve seen. Thank you yet again!
You’re the one who deserves a medal! I’m so happy I found your channel. Thank you for the content!
I tell everyone the same thing, you can paint. Thank you. I believe you deserve the metal. Thank you for teaching us. You are GREAT!
I lasted and stayed awake. I love your videos and your style of painting.
Stuart, after watching a fair share of your videos and becoming a fan (you are so comforting I can actually fall asleep to them when other things dont work) I am now doing your trick with the hardboard. It's certainly more cost effective than canvas. Still learning your technique, though. I sort of deviated here, lots of things not right yet, need shadows in the tree.
Love the boards, thank you. After using acrylics, oils are lovely . . . Like butter!
Guess I can't attach a photo here.
Best 46 minutes of my day. Love all the tricks. Also love that you talk about what your doing and how it came about. You are so calming and down to earth with your explanations. Thanks for the inspiration of watching you create such an amazing painting! Till next time, good day from Alabama.
For 35 yraes I've been painting with acrylics when I saw you the technique the way you paint the freedom you have I Know Iwant to paint Your way Thank You
Great follow up of your last video!! Thank you for answering the "fat over lean" question and additional information about thin panting layers. I'm inspired to start incorporating painting in my daily art activities based on your "3 fast landscape" video and "more detail without detail"! Kudos for all that you're sharing here!!!
Love your technique/s. You always scare me when you carry on messing with the paintings and adding crazy colours and painting over nice looking effects, but you know what your doing. So carry on being fantastic. This technique you use is so simple, that , once learned, it can make a great artist out of anyone. Thank you for showing us.
Yeah I have difficulty with the "ultra realistic" painters also, so did Picasso. I mean they invented a little thing called the Camera for that...I watched the whole thing, it was fascinating.
You get a medal for this video for sure. I will definitely be replaying it.
Your video appeared randomly on my TH-cam page and I’m glad it did, I loved watching it ❤️ I will be watching all the rest now. (Graphic designer from NE England)
It was an absolute pleasure to watch from start to finish. No medal required. :) Thank you very much, Stuart, for generously providing this wonderful video.
Hi Stuart. Watching this one at the end of April, 2020. I love watching you paint in this Pandemic. Very informative but also distracting! You mentioned perspective and some pointers. I could certainly use that lesson. Thanks
I could watch you paint and listen to you narrate all day. I actually have, well almost. I watched a handful of your videos today and am enthralled with your style of painting landscapes. I’m an encaustic painter and have just started to dabble with oil paint, since it mixes well with encaustic. You are inspiring my to put brush to canvas and paint a landscape.
In an earlier video I watched today, you mentioned that you painted dioramas for a period of time. My mom told me once that was a job she dreamed of having when she graduated from Pratt Institute. Some day I will have to come to France and study with you. Until then, please keep making videos, since TH-cam is my art school! Also, I absolutely love the way you paint clouds. The sky in you paintings are beautiful.
Wow! love your style and the final result. Beautiful technic. So free flowing. I'm a beginner myself, hope i'll always be. Definitely going to give it a go. Thank you for sharing. By the way, I watched to the end. Wasn't boring at all. Please keep your videos long and detailed as much as possible. Like this one. The process is fascinating in itself. And those who do not want to can run forward. And thanks again.
Have no problem at all watching to the end, just full of brilliant tips !
I've just come across your channel Stuart, I'm definitely going to be catching up on your previous videos in between painting, you've already encouraged me to stay away from the small brushes and just loosen up, it's just to easy to get caught up putting detail in grr that's what photographs are for lol I love the idea of shutting your eyes a little when painting skies, listening to you was so relaxing I love your sense of humour :)
Brilliant as ever .Thanks for the most important tips .
Im so impressed wow thankyou
I did have a question if you ever worked in acrylics(Im sure you have...) ?Ive gotten a box of Windsor and Newton paints and they dont seem to mix at all with water?Is this just a scam to get me to buy some medium lol??and is there a medium for acrylics that would let me do what you do in oils?(Rubbing out and moving the paint about....)Thanks in advance and if you just talked about it already in a vid,if you remembered which one ,Id be very grateful
buck roger
Yes. I watched the video up to the end. Very instructive and inspirational. Now, back to my canvas. Thank you.
I love youre work !!
Thank you. I always enjoy watching you paint and listen to you ramble. I pick up little tips and you inspire me to get in the studio and pick up a brush
"Everything is softly connected to everything else"
I truly am 100% GOBSMACKED! :) THIS.... is how I want to paint ALWAYS!
Seems a biblical scene, very beautiful, really!
Yes a kind of ancient ephemeral scene.
@@suzannesaidso3079 a biblical scene is always intense and it makes partt of the truth, but doesn't is ephemeral!
Stuart, this is brilliant! I ALWAYS last to the end! It is not difficult to do so. Each video is like a mini art course with you. Thank you for all the hints, tips, and wisdom you impart.I have two mantras when I paint... “ There are no mistakes....only happy accidents” (Bob Ross)..and “Be fearless”..(Stuart Davies.). Thank you, Sir! Looking forward to more!!!🎨👩🎨
Hi Stuart, I really love your work. I paint in acrylics at the moment but would love to try oils, what would be the minimum requirements of things to buy to try oils, I don’t have much money so don’t want to buy more than I would need.
Thanks, Mark. Try starting with sap green, red ochre, ultramarine blue and titanium white. No turpentine (use soap) and a plywood or MDF surface.
Plus gesso (3 coats, lightly sanded except the last)
Stuart your such a fabulous art teacher with a great sense of humor. That sky was amazing,... I meant to say in an earlier comment that God must be right handed to create those beautiful skies you see from your home 😀. Anyone reading this will be thinking I'm mad 😄. Thank you for another great lesson!!
Such an adventure to go with you. It never gets old, the worlds you find within worlds . . . 💓
Loved your free style free spirit painting that's very enjoyable 👍👏🤗🙏🌻🌻🌻
The sky turned out to stunning...so realistic
Thank you for painting. You are the best part of my weekend.
I finally bought my first set of oil paints and I can't wait to follow one of your tutorials on creating details. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
you create magic with the brush and paper towel.
I watched in amazement to the end.
He encourages above all to trust in the imaginative possibilities offered by the stain and by the case that produces it; a controlled case, a diagram, Deleuze would say. But he puts it at a very high level, never seen before. In short: trust the process, see what the case offer you through stains of color and turn it in a vision… A true master.
Your instructions as an instructor art teacher is amazing, I love watching you, I learn and you have such a soothing voice.
I also love it when you talk about your college experience and just I love learning about you just on life.
You rock on TH-cam with videos, keep up the amazing videos.
I am learning so much from you Stuart. I thank you so much. If i could afford the 500 or so and the airline ticket to your classes I would be there in a heartbeat. Thank you so much. I wish I could give something back.
Nice demonstration and discussion! Many good points. Great way to look at it: jump in, avoid tedium of detail and have fun. Work with the illusion instead
The fact that you said " I am just experimenting, basically I am having fun" gives me enormous hope for future, when I get old that I wouldn't have to turn into stereotypical boring and rigid person who will just complain about how it was when I was younger. So thanks for this and really helpful video!
You're only as old as you think you are! :-)
I love your style of painting. You can send me my medal. I watch all your paintings in their entirety. Texas, USA.
Just wonderful. Inspired and enlightened. Thank you Stuart Davies xxx
I have been watching you for some time now and my painting has improved no end. In fact I am so confident that I am now running my first beginners class of nine, next week being the sixth lesson and not one has dropped out.
Thank you Stuart for simplifying the art of landscape and teaching me how to paint from ones imagination. Love it.
Thanks, Brian! Excellent news!
I paint in acrylic but I find your approach to loose painting helpful none the less. The movement of the paint is much different but the concepts of composition and illusion are the same. I watch you to remember to loosen up and do what I love not just what I was taught.
I have watched quite a few of your tutorials, and the amazement is always there. It is like the landscape is hiding in your paintbrush, and only certain movements will tease it onto the canvas. Literally my jaw will drop and I feel butterflies in my stomach .
Beautiful, and nicely explained, without any silly music or graphics, just perfect.
Greetings fellow Welshman! One of the reasons why there are no graphics is because I use the basic Movie Maker software, so all I can do is fade in and out and cut out the bits where I sniff or cough :-)
I really enjoy your free, playfull, gestural approach to imaginary landscapes - feeling the energy of the memory - catching the rhythms and movements of lines and lights - ... and some notes about inseed with a bit of siccative touchdry after 16 hours - painting thinly, thin on thin - using the white of the gesso for the whites ... the texture gives the illusion of the details -
I love your fluid movements, with the freedom of the large canvas, and that big brush! Your Eidetic Memory and the Well of Energy that you feel intrigues me. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow this has really helped me to begin using oils after 2 years learning some watercolour skills this approach using oils is brilliant. Thanks so much Stuart for taking the time to share your skill and knowledge. Very much appreciated.
I enjoy watching you paint. If I need a bring I take it. Then when I come back see what I didn’t see before and how it is coming together.🤷♂️
Thanks Stuart I've been an amateur landscape paintieron on and off for 50 years and with good results I thought but you have totally knocked me for six with your fantasticly inspirational approach.
Many of your paintings have a resemblance to the moors and valleys where I live, makes me want to pick up my brushes again (decorators brushes of course).
More please!
Stuart (West Yorkshire)
I am binge watching your great videos I am so glad I found your channel, I have longed to paint more freely, almost abstractly, but have always loved painting the old masters with the cauliflower clouds in oils, incidentally I am constantly seeing eyes everywhere I look and low and behold there is an eye in the sky on your painting, to the right from 16 mins in right at the top, but can see it more closely from 20 mins in, another amazing tutorial thank you!
Brilliant is the only word i can think of right now after watching this video
Hello Stuart from California USA. We’re all penned up here, love too watch you paint, so I feel better. The girl with the pearl earring. One of my favorites. All I have is the poster. I can’t afford you but if I could your number would go up by one more. Vermeer, my my what he could do with light. Well I admire you too, very much. What you can do with a paper towel...my, my, my. Watching with a grin on my face, every time. DONNA
Thank you for sharing your incredible expertise. You are a wonderful inspiration. I hope to capture our South African skies of high drama as you do yours naturally one day.
I could’ve watched this all day! I have learned so much! From Texas 🤠
I am thoroughly enjoying watching you paint. And I am trying to learn from your instruction. Thank you.
I love what you do to your boards/canvases, I watch you painting in my free time, usually late in the evenings, never got bored or sleepy, and they are so much better than any medals. A reward after a busy day. I stopped painting long time ago but by some “meaningful coincidence “ I found you on the TH-cam. Yesterday I ordered painting materials and a sanding machine... I feel great full to you for making me open one more window to this mysterious world. I’m looking forward to seeing your next video like a kid to his birthday cake. Thank you.
Thanks for posting these videos tutorials. I’m a new painter and have tried a variety of styles and techniques I’ve seen by various artists on TH-cam. I originally started using the Bob Ross method. That felt comfortable for a bit but I soon tired of the results. I came across your videos a few days ago and to answer a question you asked in one of them, yes I do paint along as I watch. I first watch the full video to get the feel of the painting and then go back and paint along with the content, stopping it so I can catch up. It goes without saying that my results are no where near your’s but I must say I’m quite pleased with my results nonetheless. Thanks again.
watching you paint , and the serenity in your voice calms me. thank you.
You have a great imagination! I must say. From a blob of paint to a fantastic landscape, only that your teachings come to be kind of expensive for an imaginary work of art. Thanks for your videos, I found them very interesting.
Interesting! Most people tell me I'm too cheap :-) I don't think it makes any difference whether the subject is real or imaginary.
Medal....lol. I love your humor. Your style is mesmerizing. I have been doing acrylics, I know I have to spend up and go to oils too. Thank you so much.
Painting and following along.. !! and yes, until the end :-)
Very much enjoyed two of your videos tonight and looking forward to the rest of them. It’s exciting to me that I think you’ve helped me to chance it and loosen up. Wohoo! You have got me itching to try this technique.Many many thanks.
You're an elegant painter
Since I discovered you Sir, I feel like I can do .more realistic landscape without trying too hard. I like how expansive your landscapes are. Drama in your heavens is something I want to practice. I watched the full video. I find this therapeutic. My medal please
I watched the entire video intently sir. I expect my medal to be at my front door the next morning
ps. I really admire your paintings. It's truly fascinating how such bold and careless strokes of the brush could create such a detailed painting!
This kind of freestyle painting is very cool and fun. I don't like to draw the design in advance with a pencil. I often think I'll see what comes out. I really like the process of painting and your videos have inspired me to try different techniques. Thank you very much!
