The best teacher online for me .. Thanks for your generous teachings .. you could perhaps name it autumn embrace , as the trees are softly embracing the pathway
Armand Zottola: Ever the amateur, I am learning muchly of brush use and applications from you. At 81, I ever sense that I am too old to get good but sometimes My work gets a frame! Thank you for my growth. Painting is my passion these days.
***** ...it's coming along wonderfully...I enjoyed every brushstroke...for a title..."Birch Grove," I think sounds nice...thanks for taking us along and sharing your thoughts.. The golden hues of fall are beautiful...I can smell the leaves and walk down the path and just look at those birches for hrs....The birch bark looks so realistic as The leaves...
brother you are so talented ,as an artist from the Caribbean I am a great admirer of your work,thanks for sharing these videos ,they are so helpful to me .God bless.
Just found you today.....recovering from tendon reconstruction of my ankle. Have painted on and off over the last 15 years and you have built a little fire in my belly to get the oils and brushes out sooner than later and get to work. Like you, I prefer to paint scenery so found your helpful hints quite intriguing. Will continue to watch.......thanks.....Roxanne from Montana
Michael i love the distance in this painting as you look down the road it seems yo could see forever. Another great work of art. Fall Tranquility is what i think of when i look at this painting :). Thanks for another awesome and informative video.
Thanks Michael for the very informative video.you must have such patience and generosity of spirit to set this all up for us. I use oils at the moment but I have also some alkyds ( which are oils of course ) so I will give them another try on smooth primed panel. Hope you can continue with your advice Michael, and keep painting those amazing pictures !
Again Michael, fab work. I hope you get a city scape commission soon as I would love to see your process. Enjoying all your videos for the umpteenth time and again thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Michael Another inspirational painting segment; watching them is like having a front row seat in an 'old masters' atelier. I admire the way that you're able to create such a wonder picture but keep searching inside yourself, hoping to attain an even higher level by being self-critical: it's probably what keeps you motivated! Over the years have you sought to model yourself on anyone else in particular or has your style come from self-invention? Thank you once again for your postings on youtube in 2016 and look forward to the coming year. Have a merry Xmas and happy New Year. How about "Birch Boulevard" for your title! Best wishes Nick Harvey
Hi Michael, How about simply 'Woodland Catkins' - obviously a reference to the silver birches. Love your easy and laid back style in video making; that plus your amazing talent!
You're a great artist ! I admire your technique and I'd love to start painting one day in the future !!! Thank you so much for your beautiful tutorial videos !!!
Parabéns pela sua arte Michael, venho acompanhando seus vídeos aqui de Florianópolis estado de Santa Catarina no Brasil, e através deles consegui melhorar muito os meus trabalhos de arte, os seus detalhes são muitos impressionantes. Abraços! Pedro Wilbert
Your work is exceptional. I was curious if you have shown a glaze technique yet. I would be curious to see the technique you employ. Thanks for the great videos.
How about Birch Lane or Among the Silver Birch? Love your work--clean crisp color, always great depth and composition. I'm learning a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your excellent tutorial, I have renewed my efforts at landscape painting, one thing you have tout me is to use acrylic s more for under painting, could you please produce a video of painting sky with various cloud formations. Thanks again. Barry.
How about "Silver Birch Trees With Colorful Leaves"? Anyway, another great video. I still don't get how you seem to mix the right color mix so fast. It seems like you mix a color really fast and it's accurate in color and tone and ready to go on canvas just like that. I thought it's supposed to be hard to get the right tones and colors throughout a picture, but you seem to mix it in half a minute and just pop it right on canvas and it's done and accurate. Haha, you really do make it all look easy. Do you think you could ever make an in depth video about how you mix colors on the palette and get the tones and colors so accurate? Like how you adjust a color mix to get the right hue, value, and chroma?
good point. I think every artist has a point where the art work isn't going well. My art teacher called it the Valley of the suck... starts off great then bumb bumb bummm- You hit the suck. You just have to work your way passed it to get out of the valley... I think many people that are first learning art will stop at this point.
Hello, first you give a hand in acrylic paint and then you go to paint the oil? To all your punctures, or is it just some? Le das una mano de pinturas acrílicas y después pintas en óleo? A todos tus cuadros, o solo es a algunos?
Thanks so much this is helpful for everyone who’s going to attempt the December challenge of the MJS artschool. I was wondering how many brushes you spent per painting, or per week? 🙂 just to get an indication how many I should have on the shelf.
I love this channel and all the vids I just found your channel like there days ago and I have watched them all!.......is there any way you please give us a list of the brushes you use and what there made of like hog hairs and what not?.......
Can't tell you how much I admire and envy your skill. Please keep the videos coming. Just one question.......do you use actual oils or are you using alkyds (sp?) or that new water-soluble oil that Windsor Newton has out now?
Hi, Michael, I'm a fairly recent subscriber because yours is one of the most helpful painting channels on TH-cam. I am wondering about your use of thicker paint for your finish layer and does it violate the rule of 'fat over lean'? Or does your previous use of Luiquin negate that rule? I'm still trying to understand mediums. I know this is an older video and you may not see this. But here's hoping. Thanks.
Do you have any experience with recording when its dark outside? I cant get a good shot of my painting setup with room light. The wet paint reflects the light if i put the light source too close and if i put it too far away its too dark for the camera. If i use the camera in daylight it has a good hd quality but without it its realy hard to achieve. I tried to google for solutions but cant realy find anything, maybe anyone here has experience and tips for that, thanks!
DDabeisein Istalles hi, I would think having overhead lighting would resolve this...I read having one iridescent and one fluorescent....or light that mimics daylight....they can be overhead or above one on each side above your canvas by a few feet...
The best teacher online for me .. Thanks for your generous teachings .. you could perhaps name it autumn embrace , as the trees are softly embracing the pathway
👍 the more I watch your videos, the more i am mesmerized as the painting advances. "Autumn Forest"!
'A Piece of Autumn' ----- love it

Michael i love the distance in this painting as you look down the road it seems yo could see forever. Another great work of art. Fall Tranquility is what i think of when i look at this painting :). Thanks for another awesome and informative video.

Your picture looks better than the photo, couse is more contrast between light and dark areas 😍
Great work. Your hard work and dedication is inspiring. "Free" thats my idea for a name.
Your last comments about finishing off a painting is a great life metaphor.
Great Art work .... i must say you have lot of patience to draw Amazing art.
Excelente el contraste de las hojas, típicas de los paisajes del otoño. Muchas gracias por mostrarnos el estupendo trabajo que realizas.

Hola, mi nombre es Ruth. Vivo en Chile, Temuco. Me gusta mucho su trabajo y a mí me encanta pintar. Gracias por mostrarnos su trabajo.
Wow .. So beautiful .. sure I enjoyed it. I wish if the white color in the tree trunks were less bright , for example lightly gray greenish white .
