THANKS FOR WATCHING!
I'm so glad I discovered you on TH-cam. I'm watching you work with layers of trees/tiny life-like leaves. Once upon a time, in a land of diapers and bottles and kids growing up, I painted. Now I've picked the brushes back up and am practicing your techniques. They are so helpful! I'm partial to landscapes and seascapes. Yours are magnificent. I hope you learn to paint as fast as you speed up the video so, as you said, you can become a wealthy man. Thanks for taking the time to teach us
novices, and best wishes. (Saw your baby with you; didn't see the date it was captured. Such a beautiful child.
All the best. And congratulations.)
Michael you are my hero O.M.G. I have no words. You are amazing. Yours painting looks like a real pic from a cannon camera or Minolta H.D. ❤I love your woods trees lakes rivers pounds
Mesmerizing watching you paint these tree's. Big thumbs up and thanks again for sharing your talent.

Hi Michael. Having watched a heap of your videos (thanks, by the way), I wanted to go back to the first few and catch up a bit on your techniques. As always, they're great instruction and it's beautiful to watch the images come to life. Thanks again!

Enjoying your videos. Awesome teaching videos! Wish I could see your palette on this one!
very good painting
Hopefully I can learn from this video
Just found your channel and I am very impressed. Just making a quick scan, I didn't see a video on what materials you use and why. Would absolutely love to see that and get your thoughts. I'm sure there are other folks interested as well. Thanks so much!
this explanation very closely was the best you showed ,, was show congratulations
You are magic!🌿
I like your painting of the trees thank you
that is amazing, thank you for this video ,it's going to help me with my trees which i always struggled with
ok, so this is an amazingly beautiful oil landscape, u showed us the technique but what I find difficult about painting is the color combination!
can't wait! thanks!
Bravo muy buenos son esos tutoriales, e aprendido mucho.
That is remarkable.
Beatiful Art .
Wow....so inspired watching you work. Do you think this technique could work with all acrylics" I've never used
Oil paints. Might have to take a try with oil. Love your work and patience definitely does pay off. AMAZING!
Thank you for inspiration !
amazing details. make + videos! it's helpful
Thanks! I'm practicing
stunning !!!
Magnificent stuff...........................
What a great work
The background trees colors are very realistic. What colors did you use? Our mountains in Colorado are similar in the distance. You technique is fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful, thanks for the detailed video.
god bless u...u shared ur talent...
Fantastic !!!
Wow! Incredible stuff! Do you have any tips for painting water? What values do the colors usually take on when they are reflected on water, like how things at a distance become more blue, what can be said about water?
Great video, I loved it! You have an amazing gift!
You have more patience than I do!
No kidding. I get tired by just watching.
AWESOME!
Outstanding! Thank you so much.
you are magical
Thank you very much! Very interesting!
Amazing I like this guy
amazing work!
great work!
Saya berlatih dengan teknik anda, saya terus belajar meski usia saya sudah lanjut.
Terimakasih 👍
Wow!! I love this technique. Thank you for sharing so much. I am totally intolerant of turps (get a crashing migraine after 10 mins). Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?
Wonderful method with great results. Do you use round bristles brushes or red sable liners? Thank you!
Michael you do amazing work. I do enjoy watching your videos. The piece of wood you use to protect the painting, that you use an a had rest? Are there rollers to help the board move back and forth? I assume the the wood in not touching the work.
Thanhk you teacher verygood em
First I love your videos. Your instructions are very concise. I could sure use some help. I cannot get my bristle brushes to act like your brushes are acting when it comes to putting on leaves. What can I do?
Hey, Mr Smith!
Love your work. Please tell me who made the music to this video. Its very nice and relaxing.
thanks.
You are as patient as a saint.
thanks again
great stuff
Another excellent tutorial Mike! What colours were you using for the highlights?
Hi Michael
Great work. Do you use the same process for close up trees ?
I love your paintings Michael, the first layer of leaves is wet on dry, are you applying the second layer on wet paint, or do you wait for the first layer to dry?
Many thanks
Me encantaría entendernos mejor, no hablo inglés y me cuesta seguirle, pero me gusta muchísimo su trabajo. Gracias por compartirlo, aprendo, que es lo importante.
Very informative. What type of brushes do you find most effective for your foliage?
Amazing video! What type, size and brand of brushes do you use?
Je to paráda.
Hiya Michael, I've watched all your videos. thank you so much for sharing they're great BUT... I have tried and tried to 'do' trees... I get how you do it, dark, then build up colour, then the minute leaves... I've spent hours and hours copying you and I just can not get it right. I've tried little brushes, a rigger... carefully, taking my time with it. Nope looks bloody awful. Is the secret the brush (what brush is it?) is it because its Oil? (I use acrylics) are your strokes really TINY? I don't know help me HELP ME!!! Love your work X thanks so much!
Hi. You do acrylics. So do you think that such a work can be done with acrylics as well? Having the goal of doing this realistic landscape painting, do you think acrylics have this capacity?
I'm trying to choose between the two, but I have no answer and I have noone to try the two before buying the supplies. So I need someone who is trying to do this kind of work to tell me if they can do this with acrylics. Pleaaaaaaase answer my question.
the problem is acrylics dry fast and keeping mixed colors can be difficult. u need to have a wet type of paper under teh paints on the palette. not sure where to find it, saw it in a video.
oil is better for realism but much messier. acrylics are good if you have a small space and don't want to worry about ventilation. the key is to keep the mineral spirits covered up. when i was starting i was doing a big painting and kept jar open. the next day i felt sick all day long.
Yes this can be done with acrylics.I have used acrylics for many years and found them to be every bit as capable as oils. You just have to work with a medium long enough to get to know it.
For acrylics, you need a "wet palette". It's a shallow flat container (sides about 1/2" high), with special wet palette paper. It comes with a thin sponge that fits the flat tray. You wet the sponge, pour off excess, lay the palette paper waxy side up, and place your paint puddles on the paper. It has a lid and will keep your paints wet for at least a week. You will love it and find you can't paint without it. Available at Michaels or any art store that sells acrylics. Enjoy!
i think your works of art is just beautiful, but you start off some of your painting with layer and i am wondering i how do i get to the point that you first start your instructions of how to paint thank for sharing Lawson sr 1
eu que agradeço por compartilhar. Gratidão
Hello Michael ...your work is awesome and I loved it...I'm going through your videos and I love to try them.....
May I know the brush size...
And will this work with acrylics?
yeah lve created the same in acrylics if it helps!
Oh my god. So mamy thanks. I've been looking for this answer for so long. Do you use open acrylics or slow dri mediums or the retarders? Please help me. Thanks so much.
Just ordinary acrylics, Windsor Newton etc, ok good luck :)
extra ordinary person in this planet.
Hi did this painting ever get completed on TH-cam? I would like to see the finished painting
Please advise colour mix of your furthest background trees. Lovely cold grey green colour. I struggle to get that colour in my landscapes. Thanx love your work from South Africa. Please come visit us on the Cape.
Beautiful! Do you offer online lessons with live feed for following along with you? Do you only paint landscapes?
Never mind my last question. I just found that you do do more than landscapes.
Sometimes you use white spirits to thin the paint other times liquin, under what circumstances should you use each one?
Hi a t 3 : 46 are you going back and forth from the paint mixture of ivory black and sapgreen or using a lighter green?
Parece técnica do pontilhado. Parabéns.
Kkkķkkk é não ele usa uma técnica bem diferente, vc deve ser principiante.
Amazing! just found your channel today! do you block in with oils or with acrylic? Thank you.
Thanks, any brand preference? I've never blocked in but can see where it would be easier to add detail. Thanks again.
Honestly, this video of MJ is comparable to the moonwalk dance of MJ.
what brand brush do you use? Mine does not hold paint that well and tip bends easily. Thanks
Do you refer back to a photo as you paint? Or do you just wing it?
I have a green utility box i would like to paint with foliage leaves would you show how i might go about it?
How do you get the thicker highlight paint to stick to the thinner shadow paint?
Looks like you're basically using a pointillism technique to indicate the leaves of the trees. Is that correct?
mis respetos
can you please show how to do the distant mist kind of a feel
Hi there, this might help #60 Oil Painting | Start to Finish | Michael James Smith, How to paint fall Landscape. It's on his list of paintings.
Do you wait to dry each layer?
Hi am i want to no if this can this technique work in acrylic?
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
what colour do you use for distant hills
What’s the paint consistency for painting grass
how did you do the trees at the very back? is there a video on that?
# 6 the previous.
Did you ever think about doing the Wet on Wet technique for Oil Painting?
I must say after watching most your videos you are pulling some amazing detail out this way, but it does seem like a Tedious method, but it has great results.
various green colour ,how I get it
no pintas muchas marinas ? You do not paint many marinas ?
what is the size that you generally use
Nice work a little to detailed for my liking but great!
Nobody has ever learned how to paint watching these videos. There’s a new episode of Hidden Brain that talks about people endlessly watching these type videos and never actually putting paint to canvas, now for me I would like more details in your mysterious method other than the soul sucking entertainment of thinking we can just watch and do it. Peace
