I love this work for its craft. However I miss the art. The artist is a fine craftsman, replicating the mechanical capture of the camera image. A great painting should reflect the artists response to the scene. It should evoke an emotional response. Capture something of a spiritual essence. Michael takes himself out of the equation and mechanically, with great precision and skill recreates a snapshot of the scene. Not trying to be harsh. I love the work and admire his skill
@@amlam9812 There can be a quality in painting that can't be seen in a printed picture. A printed picture is completely flat, but the paint in a picture can be applied opaquely. That can make it appear more 3 dimensional. Even if a painting is done in thin layers, the effect of light shining through every layer can make a picture seem to glow. Almost as if the light is coming from underneath.
This is one is for TH-cam thanks for bringing Mr. Michael James Smith I enjoy his Artwork so much that is one of the Artist so Humble and very kind to His viewers.Thank You So Much TH-cam .
I can't stop staring at this, can't stop replaying video, can't quit respecting the organization, color choices, careful sketching, camera setups, hours of taping that included brush dipping, tube squirts, breaks, tedious stroke after stroke, then the editing of tons of footage in several units: sneak peeks, 21 section lessons, TH-cam video eliminating every tidbit not pertaining to brush strokes, figuring out the speed needed (creating the ghostly see thru hand) then music... Yet patient Mikey accomplished insurmountable task none of us would even lose sleep over. And there tis, powerful movement of water and currents captured perfectly. I revere the whole process. A process l used to have but allowed to slip away, am ashamed. Mikey refreshed my energy. Am gonna go grab my younger self and revel in it. Appreciate you in all ways Mikey. ♥️from🤠
Every time you add a new texture to something I think to myself "doesn't look that realistic", but all of a sudden it just pops like an optical illusion and I can't unsee it. Your skills are simply amazing
Probably my favorite painting of yours ever. Astonishingly beautiful. Had you not absolutely nailed the values, the painting would fall apart. Impressive work, my friend. Thank you so much for documenting the journey and sharing it with us.
I have never missed any of these videos. They are so beautiful and inspiring... Especially the techniques on trees, they look absolutely real everytime
I find comments like that to be completely insulting to the artist or the athlete or whatever person who has done an incredible amount of practice and hard work to get where they are. No imaginary man in the sky just decided to make this guy an incredibly skilled painter, he WORKED at it.
@@jefffawcett Yep , if ‘god’ just gave you abilities, no one needs to learn or be passionate about what they do. Craftsmanship is what we achieved and not what we are born with.
Michael Smith's blocking-in phase (1st pass) almost looks like a complete painting. Comparatively, mine always look like a 5yr old just finished finger painting... only worse. Lol I have SO much to learn from Michael. It seems daunting, but his works are SO inspirational, it keeps me coming back for more. GREAT videos!
I know how you feel. I haven't been able to start painting from his lessons yet, even though I am enrolled to take them, I have to clean out a part of the house but because of covid we can not do that yet. But I know that when I start I truly do believe that my first attempts will look like a three or four year olds paintings. But I too watch him and dream about the day that I can at least give it a try.
That block in makes all the difference! It is the foundation of the whole thing, and he knows just how to do it. Not as easy as it looks, I agree with you!
WOW. Absolutely stunning. I always wondered how artists got that curve into water passing over things, and that transparency water gives. Its all about layering and brush strokes. This is 'proper art' if this was in a gallery this is what I would yearn to buy to put in my home.
"Oh my God" What a painting, God has created this univers, nature everything but, you James Sir God has created you specially for these excellent paintings what you are creating. 🙏🙏🙏
This is insanely perfect!! I thought it was an actual photograph. But its even better to see the ruch detail that goes into the painting. I appreciate this so much!
This kind of art works make me feel like im one with the nature... Watching him do this is even more awesome. Such a wonderful feeling of peace and calmness. Thank you and more power to your program... Your works and your videos doing this masterpieces are here to relieve me from stress. I love nature and just wander into it. Now you took me closer to it like just looking out the window. 😍😃
It 's amazing the skills he has to make such a realistic painting , I am amazed at how much patience and determination he has , I think it is so cool !
I'm still shocked....like is it even real or I'm dreaming???👀 It feels as if I could even step into the picture and can even pick a handful of water to drink....It looks so real!!!!! Amazing talent...!!!👏
Yeah I agree I really dislike when people describe it as talent, it's as if they're disregarding the sheer amount of effort and time any sort of artist put onto their work Or ignoring the fact that these people spent years practicing and refining a skill They're most likely not thinking that way though, but it feels like that is the implication.
I beg to disagree...skill can be acquired but talent is an inborn gift... actually there are some artists who doesn't even experience different workshops or degree in arts but yet they still manage to create beautiful masterpiece unlike others who trained for years. that, for me is the real TALENT......
Humbly we bow to the Master of the Not Of This World Skills! Man!! That was SO beautiful to watch! I could feel that cold running water! I could smell those trees! Amazing!!! Thank you!
Its amazing to see how beautifully the painting comes out after so much time and patience by the artist . Before the advent of color printers only painters were there to do it. Just imagine the kings and nobles how thry got their painting done in the old times.
This was an extraordinary piece MJS! Considering all the variations of color from the sunlit to shadowed portions, and the different shades beneath the water. I know that you had to make some next level, precise choices to get this result. 5 star composition! Ty so much
I really love all your videos. James, you’re the best artist in the world. I always have a lot of happiness every time I watch your videos. Thank you much!
Wow! When I feel like giving up I just watch one of your videos and it gives me the encouragement to continue. How long did it take you to get this good??
C'est abusé d'être aussi balaise, l'œil humain en haute définition, avec ça capacité a reproduire au détail près ce que qu'il voit sur papier c'est bluffant. 💪
No words to say how beautiful this painting is and to admire your talent. Wooooow, it's superb.

Better picture than my HD cam.😨
Yeah man
its astonishing how so many simple strokes of the brush come together to make such a photo-realistic painting. Im gobsmacked.
The amount of detail with that little brush to bring that water and flora to life is mind blowing. Excellent work as always!
You are a High Quality Printer that I cannot Afford 😍
Meaning average printer can't even produce this result?

This guy is already blessed! What more can I wish for him? A healthy life perhaps. 😊❤
Almost episode 200, and you’ve never failed to amaze me!
MJS portrayal of water is always amazing, but this time it's even more amazing.
The principle of Harmony is so clear...the bases and the brush play the role of the beautiful picture...ilove the hands of the creator...
Every time you add a new texture to something I think to myself "doesn't look that realistic", but all of a sudden it just pops like an optical illusion and I can't unsee it. Your skills are simply amazing
Every MJS painting, are total masterpiece 👍🏻 🎨 👨🎨
Wow! Michael you are so generous to share your amazing talent with us!❤
Astonishing! I have never seen a painter like you. Unbelievable 💚👍🏻🇮🇪👏👏👏
It's just magical to see when he starts adding detail how the painting transforms into a high definition photo one section at a time
I literally had my mouth open half of the video wondering how you did it .. Theres no words i know to express my feeling about this painting.. 🌹
what we don't realize is how much time he has spent to get the right color; this looks so much like a picture that it looks less like a painting
😭👌🏻
I agree👍 loads of patience and Practice

Almost like Bob Ross.
What a gifted artist! The Lord has blessed you with a very powerful talent.
God bless you. Thank you for sharing your masterpieces with us.
what's most amazing is how he paints the hand and brush into the canvas, then paints it out, then paints it in again so fast and repeatedly!
Unbelievable! Absolutely stunning, you have depicted real movement and intricate detail. Wow
OMG It is looking like a real picture captured from camera😢💖🔥
This was so relaxing to watch. Wish I could paint like that
th-cam.com/video/xinbXdZN1ZM/w-d-xo.html
Me too!
It will take 10000 hours to be able to paint like that.
Wow,,, I figured, so beautiful
It probably takes more than 10000 at least for me it would take 20 years before coming even close
Surely this can only be God given talent. The beaty is simply breath taking. I applaude you
I was thinking the same thing....this guy must be inspired by God himself.....it's like watching God during creation.
