This is so professional. As a concept artist this is amazing to see a real pro working and solving real art problems artists face when creating pieces.
Perhaps your most informative youtube video to this date. You were always a great teacher but you are getting unbelievably proficient at conveying the most important ideas in such a short amount of time, you are elevating it to an art form in itself. Thank you for these.
I love the way he says "maquete" for the first time in each video. It really makes my day
You can tell how skilled of an artist James Gurney is by how easy he makes these expertly-crafted paintings look to make. Fantastic work as always!
What a wonderful video you have created James, I really enjoyed how this one came together. I have watched most of your videos and they are just so amazing. Your casual style is really calming , thanks for giving us a inside look at how you create your artwork. Its really appreciated. Joe.
It may just be because I'm a software engineer that I see things through a very particular lens, but I especially love your videos where you show an engineer's approach to the solving of various creative problems. I think this demonstrates how art isn't just about mood and inspiration, but about thoughtful planning and problem solving.
I know you won't read this but anyone who asks me who's my favourite artist, I have no hesitation in saying it's you, I simply love what you do, it's so amazing and inspiring, I really loved that bird, the rocks, the colours, brilliant.
Just stunning...from planning, process, mediums, and edits. I am a Trans Grad from ACCD (Spring '97) and really appreciate your career and how you've taken people along for your creative journey. All the best to you James!
James is a one of a kind, It's not hard to find a good artist. But to find a good artist that just happen to be good at teaching and presenting his work is actually hard.
u gotta love how he makes a 3d model before attempting to paint his subject. Now that's what i call true dedication.
You are truly amazing James! I really admire your stuff. ^^ Prehistory is my favorite subject to paint too!
I love this! Your paleo art is my favorite and when you show how you set the scene as well as the creatures, you bring it to life.
Gurney is on another level.
I'm starting to draw now at the age of 28 and I wonder if I can ever reach that level.
Omg I wanna be your apprentice, you seem so wise not only in art, but in understanding the subject you paint so well.
What a joy it was to watch this. Talented. Genius work - both in preparation and execution. Humbling. Thank you so much James!
that illustration is exceptional , few paintings achieve to convey the scale as well
I love when you take us on Gurney journeys through your work and process! Thanks a lot !
...i love how you solve everything in such practical ways, super stuff!! 👏🏻🌟
Amazing piece! I love that you go through all the trouble of making a maquette, very professional walk through of your art process.
The lighting in your pictures blown me away. Majestic work.
Thank you for sharing your process, it's equal parts informative and inspiring.
I feel like I should have learned some of these techniques with different media in all the years of art classes I took.
Thank you James. I'm always looking forward to videos like this.
Another excellent video! I have both your books imaginative realism and color and light, and I can safely say that its a must buy for every artist out there!
This is a mindblowing display of ridiculous talent, I am in awe of your abilities James, I found myself exclaiming 'wow' under my breath to myself multiple times. As an ornithologist, with a lot of experience with seabirds, you have captured impeccably what a bird like this I believe would very likely have looked and behaved like. Imagination to life!
Fantastic! such a wonderful reference video for us artists looking to push the possibilities. Thanks James
Gorgeous painting, and so many awesome tips. I want to go build myself a Pelagornis.
You do the neatest stuff. I wished I was James Gurney!
Wow. That's my new favorite Gurney painting. Amazing. So much fun to watch. I want to build bird maquettes now :)
Lovely stuff, James. I always learn something that I can apply in my own art.
It looks amazing. Well done, and thank you for sharing this with us.
so professional and authentic!!!!!you're so unique James!!!!i'm gr8 fan of your gouache paintings
Wonderful video....love how you teach us about the subject matter as well as the painting process. I really enjoy these videos where you document working with client briefs!! :)
thanks a lot james you are my source of inspiration for constant evolve on painting. a big hug from Argentina.
Really great to see the full process involved in developing and completing a commissioned piece of illustration.
James, your work is simply amazing.
Always eager to see another video of yours, James.
freakin amazing! Love the warm light and contrast between the birds!
I'm also jealous of your workshop :D
Amazing James, I admire your work greatly!!
This video made my day! Your knowledge and artistry are making my brain tingle!
Your'e an amazingly talented person.. Who would have thought you need to be a multi media talent in order to just paint.
wow, I was blown away all throughout the process. Thanks for the awesome content!
When I grow up I want to be just like you. Great video.
me too... and I'm 49!! :)
Thank you for sharing the whole process. Very interesting!
Love this. I really like the demonstration on creating a maquette. Makes me want to create one too. Your videos are so artistically inspiring.
What a terrific, toothy bird!
I'm doing a digital painting right now with a similar color scheme and I was feeling a bit out to sea as to how to get started on it, and this video just gave me a great launching point. Thanks much!
Just glorious, that lighting was perfect
Very beautiful art James Gurney! I've read your story somewhere, an article about your life growing up being an Artist and always fond of Dinosaurs! Keep up the good work!
Magical as usual. Thanks James!
Love your videos and this one is a great addition. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work and some of your process :)
Man, i am truly amazed by your talent. I have binge watched your videos and every single video has made me wow hahaha. God bless you James, I hope you create more art and share it with us.
Wow. Amazing process and product!
Brilliant. Simple when you explain it but beautifully painted all the same.
Magnificent work as always. Love your paleo work.

I wish you could acknowledge that you may have an audience outside the USA.
Inspiring, as always. Thank you!
I love your work!
Your videos are so fun to watch.
Ohhhh, you're so amazing, mr. Gourney.
That was a lot of fun to watch! thanks!!
I just love watching you work < I learn so much from your videos
Freaking amazing as always! :D
But still, every new video of James makes me love my tablet/photoshop setup even more, as impressive as this is I could have never afforded to become an artist in the traditional medium.
wow, absolutely stunning
That was fantastic!
Finally, another prehistoric painting. Been a while since we've seen those. Then again these pictures do take awhile to do.
Absolutely amazing
That was brilliant. Thank you xx
Always inspiring and educational!
I love watching these!
brilliant video - thank you :)
This is a cool video and the Pelegornis is one of my favourite animals from Australia
Sculptors draw and sketch flat lines and colors in order to render a two dimensional figure into 3D. Gurney sculpts masterfully realistic 3D figures in order to render a 3 dimensional figure into 2D. Unreal.
+James Gurney masterly work and thanks for an insight into how you created it.
I like the ruler thingy. I'm gonna make one for myself now.
Lovely channel, amazing tips and video and WOW with the results..
Thank you so much for sharing your magic!! :D
Fantástico!!! Hard work,but, finished marvelous!!!

Lovely atmosphere...reckon I will take up doing some models before illustrations too
Amazing!
This is why i subscribed to you cause of your beautiful paleoart
You have the most satisfying job in the whole universe :)
+Mexus 9 I agree and BONUS.....it pays very well...at least for Mt Gurney.
It's really cool!
Seven philistines without artistic ingenuity disliked this.
