Like father, like son, I can see that talent is really in the family. I am always touched when I see you working together, it is very beautiful this complicity. As always here is a very nice lesson given by a very good teacher, thank you Michael for all this shared beauty. I also keep my old brushes, I also make cuts in the hairs and sometimes I get something extraordinary from an old brush that was destined to be thrown. I also found makeup brushes that worked very well for some details.
You, sir, are simply brilliant. It is all but hypnotizing to observe the emergence of seemingly living form and color bursting forth from the flat surface of the panel, all at the urging of your gifted hand. Your videos are as expertly crafted as the paintings themselves and the top notch narration makes for an informative and entertaining delight. Masterfully done!
I love to paint landscapes but seeing your tutorials , I felt I will have to learn so much..... amazing techniques and your work is just outstanding, thank you for sharing.
Another beautiful and lovely one from James Michael Smith. The explanation is so important and deep we can make out how much paint each hair of brush carry. You know which portion to be precisely explained. Great job Michael. I wish Godspeed in your career
Another photo realistic beauty! I'm more of an impressionist style but man, like I've said before, you have some serious talent. How four people can not like this is a head scratcher. Even if style is not their favourite, how can one not appreciate the immense talent?
Your work is impeccable & absolutely brilliant! It's amazing to watch your work progress & hard to believe these are not actual photographs when finished. Absolutely breath-taking! Thank you for sharing your work, but I'm afraid my paintings look like something my son brought home from school. You know the ones that were smears of colors & it was folded in half while it was still wet & for that extra "pro" touch - it was dropped on the ground during an all-day thunderstorm? Yes sir, that's my painting & it took 4hrs to complete.............🎨🖼😁
Вы мастер - волшебник !!!Ваши картины - окно в прекрасный мир !Я никогда не рисовала,тем более пейзажи,но увидев как вы пишете ,купила кисти ,масляные краски , и пробую повторять за вами.Когда я пишу ваши картины, я ощущаю такой душевный подъем ,такой восторг и полнейшее состояние счастья ,которое я испытывала в молодости ,влюбившись в в одного юношу.И неважно что у меня получаются скромные подобия ваших работ. Я вам бесконечно признательна.Вы вернули мне молодость .Ваши работы - великолепны !!!Спасибо !
Thank you very much, for all your videos,I’m going to sign up for classes. I’m self taught, and have found many talented artists. My goal is to paint realistic, I’ve always loved landscapes and sky’s. i have watched a couple of your videos and picked up tips, my first painting incorporating some of your tips, has the realistic look to it. Thank you for being a incredible instructor!. Keep spreading your 💝
Hi Michael. Thank you for teaching us. Can you make a video on how you mix your greens for different trees like background forground and midground tree or foilage. I really appreciate the.
Here's me thinking this is so unfair that you can do this then I remember how long you've had to practice! I'm only in A level fine art hopefully in 20 years I'll be as good as you . Thanks for the inspiration😊
Wow, I’m impressed! Now that I’m semi retired I want to take up painting again, and you have been a great inspiration. I’m now looking for some ideas on how to make an adjustable wall easel as I am relegated to using a wall on my garage. Any helpful ideas on this from anyone would be much appreciated
I wish you had a mug or tee-shirt with a realistic flower or artwork that you've created, on it. I would buy that in a heartbeat! It would be nice to have a touch of art to look at while sipping my tea. You have such talent, PLEASE display that in your merch!
Hi,Being following your art work for a couple of years ,great work in all aspects of all your paintings ,Keep up the great work Dom ,Youghal Co Cork ,Irl
While painting on a canvas I frequently face a problem but I haven't seen any artist cover this issue in their youtube videos. I love painting with acrylic paints but when I go into finer details, I face difficulty getting the paint out of my brush onto the canvas because of the rough surface of the canvas and also maybe because of the thickness of acrylic and small size of the brush. Of course, adding water won't be the solution as it will make the color more transparent instead. Any possibility that you would cover this topic in the future videos?
You could either try to paint on a wooden panel,or you can add water and go over the transparent paint several times until you get the result you want.
Your videos are huge help in making my paintings painterly realistic.Just a thought the pink weeds are almost as bad as knotweed, but it’s Himalayan Balsam. Thank you
Sir Michael Outstanding work and truly appreciate the actual teaching. I observed that you have enhanced the colors in your painting, compared to the original. Is there a "formula" so to speak, as to how much you enhance the colors? Thank you Claude
The reason for this is because it was just uploaded, probably being processed by TH-cam or something. Give it a while longer and you will be able to play it at 1080p. As you can now.
Yea' Apparently it was just my timing - all bad, lol while it was still in upload or something. I have always been able to get them in 480 before, so was puzzled. This time the early bird got wormed, ha ha.
You’re amazing ❤️😍😍😍😍😍I love your work 👍you’re for me the best ever ever ever in all the world 🌍 ... sorry 😐 for my bad English but I hope you can understand me... I speak Spanish... I love 💖 your work ❤️..
Good afternoon Michael, you talk about using Photo Shop in this video, do you subscribe to photo shop and in so doing is that adequate enough for adapting your photos for creating good compositions to paint from. Could you do a video on how you go about doing this? Please, thank you. I enjoy all of your videos. Just totally fabulous!!!!
Michael:"I'm going to change to another brush, and separate the flowers now to make them look a bit nearer.." Game designers:"Time to switch up to a higher LoD version" (Great video Michael, as usual, and lovely to watch with one eye while doing my own work)

I don't know how many comments you find time to read, but that lesson was particularly good, with a great level of detail which is really appreciated.
Thanks pleased you liked it Ron
...laying down that colored ground is so important,,,just that part is so instructive....great job. Fan brush....wow....thanks learned much.
I could stroll through that painting...beautiful.
Like father, like son, I can see that talent is really in the family. I am always touched when I see you working together, it is very beautiful this complicity.

Such a talented family! Thank you for sharing it with the world; and making it a better place for it. :)

Well done. I particularly like the subtle teaching techniques you are applying over the years. Very informative. Thanks

I spent all day watching you drawing. I really like your landscape paintings, they are wonderful, I wish I could own one of yours
Love all the details you do in a painting. I love the idea of just one hair in that brush..I never thought of that..thank you so much .
Really nice painting. A very good artist and teacher well done

From sky to flowers!!!
You are very good👋👍❤
you are the best!😍
Cada día que está más de 9 horas pintando cada día ...es una maravilla .
Thank you Michael!
Perfect work in art world
I am from malaysia , very feel touching when i saw hyperrealistic 👏👏👏👏👏
Only 360p. Please use 480p minimum - but Michael - Love it always sir and thanks.
Mike Noneed odd, I have it showing in 1080p.
The reason for this is because it was just uploaded, probably being processed by TH-cam or something. Give it a while longer and you will be able to play it at 1080p. As you can now.
I'd say you nailed it. My bad, thanks.
I think Freedom of Sport has nailed it. I got it at 480 and the rest a few minutes later.
Yea' Apparently it was just my timing - all bad, lol while it was still in upload or something. I have always been able to get them in 480 before, so was puzzled. This time the early bird got wormed, ha ha.
