I love to watch you paint, as a beginner I have such a lot to learn, thank you so much for sharing your expertise

[@normg2242]

I've been watching your channel for at least two years now and I still think you're beyond amazing...!

[@carole.kratzkd6992]

I always use bar soap and warm water to finish off,and sometimes a quick dip in baby oil.Taught to me many years ago in a studio I worked in. Very important to look after your brushes!

[@KristaFulbright]

I love that you talk us through all your steps AS you show them. Also it is great to see how you mix the paint colors on the palette and how you use mediums. For beginners, lots of artists don’t show this and I would like to see more of that to help me understand. Also would like information on how colors and paint textures create atmospheric perspective!

[@obigun8715]

[@reefprayerresin]

Love your paintings, and love, that you like a smooth sky! - It does my head in when I see a heavily textured sky!

[@ScottBeardLS]

Simple awesome. I really like to watch you paint. Just watching you up-close makes all the difference and shows me what can be done. Thanks!

I look forward to seeing other sky techniques.

[@twopcs]

Just awesome James! So inspiring... I'm beginning too, mostly trying to figure out how wet on wet works and I'm getting some clues from you....

[@mauricefalzon83]

I enjoy watching you paint Michael. You are a modern day Pre-Raphaelite. Well done and thanks for sharing.

[@emilianobre9398]

[@michaelwaterman6122]

I've have found your teaching extremely inspirational

[@avrilretief732]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you...........

[@mycomputerfund]

Haha Michael, I giggled out loud at your "I need to learn how to talk, I have a habit of speaking absolute rubbish". I constantly say similar things in my head lol

[@scrapboxutopia]

Love your videos!

[@44aceofhearts]

I've watched a few of your videos and plan on watching more. I've learned a lot. Just wanted to give you some feedback: You don't talk "rubbish." I think your narration is great and to the point. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@kathystreet5891]

I learn so much from up your videos!

[@stevejarrettnc]

This video left me in awe a little bit more than the others. Not sure what it was at the end, just after you finished talking and the music played us out, but the thought came to me, "I wonder if that's what God feels like - when he's creating something?"
