- James Gurney demonstrates the step-by-step process of painting two restorations of the dinosaur Spinosaurus under the direction of Dr. Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago.
Dr. Sereno's scientific paper in Nature Magazine is called "Spinosaurus is Not an Aquatic Dinosaur." Sereno's team developed a CT-based skeletal restoration of Spinosaurus and examined its hydrodynamic properties. They found that the digital model of Spinosaurus performed very poorly in water, supporting the alternative "semi-aquatic hypothesis." In an interview, Sereno said, "I don't think it was a good swimmer nor capable of full submergence behavior."

You have always been my fav paleo artist...the fact you share your nethods with us is still mind boggling to me. You are one of the masters of this generation, imo.
99 likes no comments,leme fix that
I doubt you'll see this, but your Dinotopia series meant so much to me as a child and I will be showing them to my children when theyre old enough. Thank you sir
You know it’s a good day when james gurney posts about dinosaurs
The correction made on the pose at the 4:00 min mark really gave a new perspective on how there can always be made improvements no matter the stage on which the painting is.
Also, I have never thought of using maquettes this way before. Thank you, Mr Guney.
ikr?! I was like "wait, you are changing the pose *now*?!?" Honestly, great craftmanship. Thank you for the video Mr. Gurney!
I find his use of maquettes one of the most intriguing aspects of his technique.
This video reminded me to not be so invested in the work I have already done, and to not be afraid to experiment or completely re-work a piece
Great stuff as always, Mr. Gurney!!
Indeed. I do traditional paleoart sculptures with epoxy and I'm always prone to rework something if isn't ok, even when it's already painted or even months after it's finished. We have to give our best, specially if it's a commission
Great insight, they say that both James Whistler and Valentin Serov used to repeatedly obliterate their daily effort on a painting, eventually reworking it a hundred times.
If a artist on the level of James Gurney can spend as much time and effort doing preliminary work on a piece, only to see after finishing the painting that it is still unsatisfactory, and changes are needed, is a lesson not to be missed.
A lesser artist (such as myself) would never be brave enough to paint over a fully rendered subject to make an adjustment! Bravo, love your methodical process!
This reminds us of Tintoretto, who made small wax models of figures to help with scale and lighting in his paintings. We think these videos will become an important record for future artists!
The finished pictures are awesome. But the interesting part is the amount of work and the attention to detail that goes into the preparation. Thanks for sharing.
I grew up with Dinotopia and recently rediscovered this TH-cam channel. What a treat! As a filmmaker now, I am so inspired by the dedication to craft that you have, and it is directly informing the level of attention I will give my projects this year. Thank you for making these videos!
I love your Dinotopia books so much James. Anytime you do new dino art I always assume it's a sign you're working on a new book. I need to learn to reserve my expectations and not jump to conclusions so much, lol.
It's been 2 years since you uploaded another dinosaur video. Have been rewatching the old ones for some time 😅
Funny enough, the last video had a completely different reproduction of the Spinosaurus
Do you ever wonder what it’d be like to be this talented? Like if someone ever put you down you’d know you had this in you to always remind you that you ARE special. I wish I had something like this..
james gurney is the best artist of all time
So much dedications to achieve imagined realism.
it’s 1 am where im at, completely depleted from my thesis, haven’t made any art in about a year, and came across this as i was starting to paint again. couldnt help but feel happy to have the privilege of learning from your videos and being a painter (albeit prematurely and relearning again)
I love the fact that you didn't even say a word here, yet the video explains so much!
Mr. Gurney,
I was introduced to your work through Dinotopia as a small boy. I absolutely loved it and the rest of the series. All of your work is outstanding, but seeing you paint dinosaurs is always a special treat for me. My mom is an art teacher, so seeing an artist show their process is someone we share. I hope people can enjoy and be inspired by your work for a very long time to come.
I had a CD with Dinotopia games on it as a child and since then dinotopia has always been in the back of my mind. The ship wreck, the discovery of the island, the sky backs, and the art. I've always wanted to go to the world you created.
Wow! I almost cried when you overlaid the one posture over the other … “NOOOO!! But it was already beautiful!” But then … magic!
Spino is a bold choice man, love it
I'm glad that there is still a tiny bit of room for traditional illustration, that not everything is done digitally.
I enjoy seeing the process from sketch to finished work. I really like the format of this video.
Thank you Mr Gurney for all your inspiration and knowledge sharing.
I've always enjoyed watching you do paleoart! And the way you create your own maquettes.
That's an interesting way to create the effect of splashes & droplets in a painting. I had no idea you could do that.
My guess would be that you wouldn't call it brave to paint over the finished piece to adjust pose for a better final result. You simply know what quality you need to achieve and how to achieve it. Impressive!
We study your books in my art program at Pensacola Christian college, my favorite being imaginative realism. Every time I reopen it, I learn something new. I’m currently working on a painting involving fairies and the book has helped me infinitely with gathering and posing for references! Thank you so much! Your work is always so inspiring!
I am just, wow. This is incredible
The asmr was a special lovely touch. What a perfect video
I remembered being really pissed as a child when Spinosaurus turned out to be a glorified crocodile.
So this was cool news for me, at least my younger self.
Absolutely stunning work from the master of paleo art himself.
Mr Gurney, by far you are my favorite Paleo Artist, as well as favorite en-Plein Air Artist. Bravo sir, bravo👏👍😃❤
A perfect combination of art and craft!
Love the making the models to paint from for reference of light play on the forms.
You sir a beyond a inspiration to me on so many levels! Hope to be able to meet one day trying to go to lightbox. Bucket list for sure…
thanks for sharing the prep work & techniques that make your work so rich & vivid -- truly informative & inspiring. 😻😻😻😻😻
I would have loved this video to be 4 x half hour videos with James speaking about his process as he does in his plein air videos.
I would love if you made a video about your thumbnailing process, what goes into it, and how you got to a point where it (seems to be) so effortless for you. This whole video is impressive but the thumbnailing at the start stood out the most too me since that is something I would be spending ages on to do a single composition that good, and you seemed to pump out a bunch of them easily.
Wow. Just wow. You are a master artist James. Thanks for taking us along.
Incredible care and effort! Modeling the dinosaurs and going as far as overpainting so late in the process to get things right is exceptional even among many artists.
please more video like this !
The paintings were quite beautiful before the edits, I feel sad to see them changed but glad you shared them before through this video
i love these dinosaur painting vids! I love how you make models of the dinosaurs. incredible work
I love this one so much. Spino is one of my favorites. The info about it seems so fluid at this point. It
s fun to watch it change as our knowledge grows. Beautiful beautiful work. Your little reference maquettes are just the best thing ever.
🦖 James Gurney is an eternal ten year old boy playing with toy dinosaurs in his backyard.
absolutely stunning work
Hi James, youve always been such an inspiration to me, thanks for another video ❤
Thank you for sharing this!
They are so awesome ! I really love your paleoart. Your Giganotosaurus art in the late 90s were one of my favorites !
Love the Drum and Bass style intro music!
That was fantastic. Thanks so much!
Incredible work.
Congratulations on these great paintings!
This video reminds me of the old blog days.
Love the drastic pentimenti. Pose is so important.
Sooo good, we need Need longer version :D
Displaying this element of your artwork is both fascinating and inspirational.. Thank you James!
Wow that’s fascinating work with the details, colors, & 3D models! Love how you are constantly checking, rechecking, & making corrections to your artwork. Reminds me that it is definitely part of the process of creating art & not to quit with those challenges but continue to keep working through it until you have got something that you are happy with the results. Thanks for sharing this & keeping me inspired!
Some days ago I suggested videos on full scale illustrations and it got real so quickly!
Thank you so much for these valuable insights! I try to learn from you as much as possible.
I'm impressed by your investment in preparation and by your will to completely change large parts of a picture and paint them over to get to a perfect result.
Brilliant, as always!
brilliant, amazing and inspiring are just a few words that come to mind James... thank you so much for sharing this with us...
I have learned so much from you James. These process videos are so helpful
Spectacular 💙
That drawing very nice 👍
Congrats on getting the Torvosaurus species named after you!
Excellent as always... nice mix of informative and inspiration.
Fantastic!
That revision on oils was impressive.
If you ever made a gallery of your maquettes and artwork, I would love to visit it
How can you be so good James Jesssus
Hey, you may never see this comment but I hope you know how many kids you inspired and struck creativity into. Not only did you inspire my story telling and world building processes, but you also inspired my career as a paleontologist. Your work with dinosaurs and how you depict them is truly gorgeous, and I truly hope you recognize that you have inspired a whole generation of authors, artists, and paleontologist. For me you inspired me in all three areas ❤
Incredibles Jobs!!!😮😮😮
Me as PictureMaker meself would've been happy with the preparatory watercolours and would then have moved on. But your process seems like one step shy of really makin' then come : alive! Respect; i'll be inspired to dig as deep as that.
I really enjoyed that!!!!
Phenomenal 🎉
❤Amazing!!!
You are my favorit artist James because you can make i lots of art work like a goto
These paintings are amazing, altho i got a heart attack tho when you started painting over the already unite polished dino, i should do changes like that more often but its just so dang scary
I love this!
Another Spinosaurus masterpiece. Interesting, I wish that was out on DVD like some of my few recent favorite ones which featured Horned Dinosaurs & Tyrant Dinosaurs. 0:14-0:15 That other Skeleton along with the Spinosaurus, is that a Suchomimus? It sure looks like Suchomimus The Crocodile Mimic because it’s spiny sail on its back is smaller compared to the 6 FT taller spines & it’s huge body is both a little bit smaller & half the size of it’s Larger relative Spinosaurus.
Incredible! For the illustration with the two dinosaurs fighting, how did you decide where to place the tree line in the distance?
I love seeing your process for a finished painting!! Is the final work in gouache? Also, what was the white pen you used in the studies? It was great seeing you make that correction towards the end. I find it hard to correct in gouache/watercolor but you made it look easy. Beautiful painting! ❤
Thanks! The finished painting was in oil, chosen to ease blending, but gouache would work too. The white pen was a gel pen.
@@JamesGurney Thank you! I thought you often did studio paintings in oil, but for some reason I saw gouache this time..lol. I can't wait to try a gel pen now 🙂
TH-cam should place a x2 "like" button just for mr.James Gurney's videos.
We were at Disney world yesterday, and the conversation came up: why hasn’t any theme park picked up Dinotopia as a major attraction by now? With the technology that’s available now it would be pretty awesome to visit Dinotopia! The possibilities are countless. We figured the copyright was locked up somehow. Just curious
what a pro!!!
incredible
I like his little fez
I missed your paleoart!
Spectacular
Amazing
“I’m dancing to the music of the madness inside me”
Literally started dancing at the beginning of this video: @0:00 😆
I'm reading Dinotopia right now and am completely in love with the world you created. There are so many fantasy worlds out there but yours stands out, not only for the dinosaurs but for being an actual Utopia wich is such a breath of fresh air.
Is it okay if I create paintings set in this world too?
Yes, it's OK to paint pictures set in Dinotopia.
Love your work James! I'm in art school and am hoping to go into traditional illustration as a full time job one day. Do you believe that there is still a market for traditional illustration out there even with the rise of AI Art?
I see tiny red hats on them in the fight scene, which will be hard to unsee
following you for a while and just watching a video on spinosaurus and then you post this ha
Beautiful work.
Were the final pieces in oil?
Hi James! How do you choose your colors for your dinosaurs? I’m also interested in how you choose background colors to make these dinosaurs pop!
For the revisions you made it looked like you were using a picture of a 3d model for reference. Was the 3d model provided by the author of the paper?
Yes, the team that worked with Paul Sereno modeled the dinosaur in 3D to better understand its likely behavior on land and in water.
it's a shame he needed to change that tail, it looked really cool with all those scales
I want to be james gurney when I grow up. I might be an adult already but it’s true!
Omg new Games Jurney! 😊
