Thanks for coaxing a procrastinator into action. You're voice is the perfect companion. By the end of your video I felt as though I had painted the picture... ;)
The person criticizing you does not know what she or he is talking about. The addressed should have been an abstract painter, who in most of the case have no idea about technics, blocking, values, etc..But for unknown reasons these painters earn a load of money. I have sold pictures like that, I am not proud of that at all. Now I have to work on my technic. Mr. Stuart Davies,s technic is brilliant, and not a simple paint spreading as is the case while doing abstract pictures. The reason is, in the end, we have a steady, reality like composition, with atmosphere, light, undergrowth, forest, woods, what most of the contemporary painters have no idea how to do.
Mr. Davies, I'm here in America, enjoying all your videos and artwork. I love your work and ability to teach! Thank you for the courage to create that I've found after watching you!
Thank you for your inspiration and for sharing it. I've been watching a lot of different artists deciding on what methods to use here in Arizona. I've had the canvas and paint for months but still haven't attempted my first, while I can appreciate many different artists styles and methods I really enjoy your work!. God Bless !!!
Wow, how freeing to watch you paint and to know that I could be as free with painting landscapes. I was raised with a very traditional portrait artist and watching my mother paint was very intimidating because she is so good and I felt I would never be able to do that so I never tried. Now I feel like coming out of my shell and exploring my own talents. Thank you for the video and explanation.
I absolutely love this! At the beginning of the painting, I feel like I can do this, but then when I see the finished painting I completely lose my confidence. It’s beautiful.
Ignore the person who says your style is not art. I judge art based on the effect the end result has on the viewer. If it draws any kind of strong emotion then I consider it art. I may not even particularly like it but it is still art. Yours is certainly art! The emotion I feel most when viewing your finished products is serenity, perhaps my favorite emotion.
Being able to create from nothing and seeing images appear is a real gift. Personally I find it easier and more enjoyable to go where the painting leads me. I was told I’m an intuitive artist because of my ability to create from what I see and feel from the paint. Even though our painting styles are different, I think the general idea behind the way we create is the same, we’re both intuitive artist. I really enjoy watching you create.
Completely amazing! I can't wait to try this style of painting. I love the relaxed, no mistakes attitude of the tutorial and Stuart Davies voice. Thank you!
I love this! So far, I intend to copy your underpainting because I’m struggling to come up with my own. Underpainting is really difficult but I know this is how I will improve my painting and I will continue to practice. You already know, I love all your paintings ❤️
Love this way of painting... I’ve been doing this for a while now but never seen it done anywhere except here recently. Beginners always apply too much heavy paint in bold colours. This way allows you to be light and airy and more importantly it is forgiving in many ways, allows you to see the whole picture and get loose. Much more real to boot.
Dennis Sheehan. Master of this "TONALIST" technique. It was a movement in the Staes calling themselves the "Tonalism Movement. Innes a chief exponent. Dennis is well worth a look to.
Love the way you apply and remove paint! Thank you for sharing your wonderful methods of work. Learned a thing or two to say the least! Very nice painting with an amazing limited palette.
A mutual friend of ours told me to take a look at your work and WOW I LOVE IT. I'm just starting out in retirement so will be watching you this evening. Got my paints out ready.
Absolutely stunning! Wish I were going to France next year so I could take one of your classes. I find your technique deceptively simple and somewhat meditative. Love it! Will definitely try my hand at it.
It’s fun to watch you work. I usually start all my landscapes in a similar way, but layer on more and more detail. Your work inspires a looser approach that I look forward to incorporating in my next landscape! Illusion and suggestion using methods other than brushes are tools I want to employ, so thanks!
Just stunning trees and grass! Even zoomed in, all that texture is so amazing. I can't imagine that it is possible to get such a result with a thin brush. I can't even put into words how grateful I am to have come across your videos and creations thanks to the internet. Thank you so much for sharing all of this!
Citizen............ , now there speaks someone who does'nt understand the journey. I've painted and sculpted in bronze for 45 years and still , STILL , find it tough to believe. Experience is what separates and encourages progression..
Thank you for sharing your expertise . I just found your channel and it is a treasure trove of techniques , awesome commentary, and sound advice for anyone interested in learning how to paint landscapes in oil. I truly want to thank you for sharing what you have learned with me. Sincerely your newest subscriber, . Anna
I enjoyed the session, it's meditative when I watch you at work. I love the fact that you demonstrate in a very loose manner inviting the viewer into your process. I have been inspired by your approach ( I'm not a landscape painter but do more abstract work) and this has opened another way to experiment with oils using larger brushes. Thanks for the videos and continuing presentations.
I love this painting, love watching you , its fascinates me and i am going to experiment with your way of painting , definately good for loosen up. Only about 2 weeks ago I kind of stumbled on your videos on youtube, now I am hooked. Did my first painting and was able to integrate some of your teachings into the way I painted up till now.
Another video I thoroughly enjoyed.. you’ve really inspired me to use your technique , and it’s really satisfying. Thank you again for your teaching and commentary
Your videos are incredibly engaging and so helpful! I am in the US and would love to come to your class in France. As soon as Covid is cleared up. Until then I look forward to more videos. Your painting techniques are awesome!
I really like your painting style..I got shot on duty and was out for a year before I went back to work. during that year out, I started oil painting and loved it. But then i went back to work and the painting went by the wayside. I'm now retired and decided to start painting again. I've been trying acrylic and I'm having trouble with it. So I was going back to oil's. Then I saw your site and loved it, so now I'm going to pull out some of the first ones I did and redo them where the sky was too blue, and the tree's and grass too green, etc. You've given me a lot of idea's to try. Thank You Stuart.. BTW I'm in Florida, USA
This is amazing, and quite beautiful. I would look at this and think the artist painstakingly tool hours to place each detail. It's organic and just beautiful. 😊
To say the least I’m impressed with what you do with one brush and two pigments. After watching this video several times I’m almost at the point where I’m getting up the nerve to try it myself !
These 'sketches' of yours, Stuart, are as close to actual miracles as I can ever imagine seeing - it is like magic, beauty appear from nothing (almost) in front of my very eyes.
I genuinely do love what you paint , Your technique is brilliant. If they don't like your painting , Show them your copy of The girl with the pearl earring, Its exceptionally hard to copy . I actually have a copy of this painting and your copy of the original is amazing. We can all see you know exactly what you are doing. Love it .
I’m really fascinated by your explanation of each touch of rag brush finger n just your mind thoughts are grt I believe this was the first one that I caught of yours ,n I revisit often to refresh in truthful art I’ve been involved watching trying push pull n wipe like you for over a yr now n I’m still trying thanks for acknowledgment OH howz Tiger Lilly you said you’d include in next video,,Well maybe I missed
Very nice and a good discription of your technique. I plan to incorporate some of them into my attempts at plein air painting. I'm always too slow at it, and never finish on site.
Dear Mr. Stuart It's just amazing to watch you paint with such ease and it's extremely surprising for me when I see you paint the sky with such dark colours yet give such an excellent result with your blending techniques. You are surely a joy to watch. How I wish I could up and leave here to take your classes of 5 days! Maybe some day .. when time and money permits. Thank you with all my heart for your lovely tutorials on the video.Every day , when I come back from my busy schedule of being the head of a school.. your videos give me such a respite from my tiredness.. thank you again.
Thanks so much for so much in the way of tips and advice. All of which I am finding very useful and inspirational, as I work through your vids. I'm sure your generosity will reap it's rewards. By giving so much away you will surely receive as a result. Many thanks .
This is so gorgeous, really love the feeling of this painting. So loose but so powerful. Thank you for posting this. I'm currently painting commissioned olive tree in acrylics and got so much inspired by this. Hope next year I get the opportunity to attend your class. Thanks one more time
Thank you Stuart. I'm very new to painting (watercolors) , but when uninspired or frustration sets in I like to dabble in oils or other media and find it refreshing. All you say can be applied to other media as well as oils. Thanks again.
Love this, have been using acrylics, but just started with water mixable oils because of the smell with original oils, I love how easy they are to work with, but have a lot to learn about technique. Will keep watching your videos.
Just discovered you and your videos today... Already watched 4. I'm learning to paint.... watching and listening to you make me feel that I can truly learn. I like the way you do your sky. Thank you for great videos.
Love your technique. You make it so easy. I watch your videos again and again. I love how a complicated landscape with so many planes and levels appear and just created by wiping. Fabulous!! Thank you for your videos.
I am so happy to have discovered you and your videos! I have actually begun painting again after a too long inability to get started. Your skies inspire me to be free and not concern myself with others opinions and comparisons of how I once painted. It’s FUN again! Thank you for enriching my life.
Thank you for your teachings. I've been using white spirt for years and one of your videos where you mentioned the fact that you can use only oil to thin and clean brushes has been a very valuable lesson 🙏
I’m absolutely loving your work. I’m retired now and have taken up painting- currently struggling with watercolour. I haven’t tried oils, but you are inspirational . Thank you so much.
Absolutely love your videos Stuart, the reason being that you have found your happy place between 2 main drawing styles which are contour and gesture. Contour taken to extreme, can lead towards a graphic depiction and gesture, toward free abstract expression. Both are worth learning. However it is clear to me that you have a complete understanding of style medium and intention. Just something to add. You are a great teacher thank you.
D G You described in a few words what would take a book to tell how frustrating is to try to obtain the same or similar results. On the other hand it is a blessing to be frustrated because eventually it pushes you to develop your own style derived from what you learn from a master. Just imagine the boredom to see paintings looking all the same. In any case Stuart is great!
Thanks for coaxing a procrastinator into action. You're voice is the perfect companion. By the end of your video I felt as though I had painted the picture... ;)
The illusion of complexity with using simple confidence.
Illuminating and revelatory to watch. Which I do. Again and again and again. Thanks 😊
That is absolutely incredible! When you pull the camera back at the end and see all the implied detail in the painting, it’s truly amazing!
How fun that I got to see you paint this in person and can attest to the fact that you did it in 20 some minutes.
Stuart - thank you for demonstrating your style of painting. Your work is masterful. It has greatly inspired me.
The person criticizing you does not know what she or he is talking about.

I really like these more tonal paintings that aren't so bright and colorful. The whipping is my favorite part :D
Wow, how freeing to watch you paint and to know that I could be as free with painting landscapes. I was raised with a very traditional portrait artist and watching my mother paint was very intimidating because she is so good and I felt I would never be able to do that so I never tried. Now I feel like coming out of my shell and exploring my own talents. Thank you for the video and explanation.
I learn so much watching your videos and they do look like old masters. !! Beautiful Stuart x
I love the way you paint and talk it through, great skill Stuart. Love it!
super loose and effective painting , loved it , and the commentary , has a look of some of the old masters ,
Always blown away by the fantastic paintings you bring to life with only a few colors. Thanks for sharing, Stuart!
amazing , love watching you create....... please don't stop. you are an inspiration. thank you
I absolutely love this! At the beginning of the painting, I feel like I can do this, but then when I see the finished painting I completely lose my confidence. It’s beautiful.

I am learning so much from you Stuart! Amazing video as always; thank you for sharing your passion, knowledge, journey and more 🤗.
so clever - to make this look like it is just a quick sketch - the artist must have an excellent grounding in pure art

I'm not an artist but I do paint. Your relaxed freedom with you brush and knife is a revelation, freeing.
I love how you chuck paint onto the canvas! You are an amazing artist!!

This was fascinating they way you created so much depth! Love it!
Stuart...the TONE master...fantastic
I like your way of making the fast sketch painting and a sample touches with toile paper . It is fantastic 👍 . All your art work are injoignable
Thank you so much 😀
Very fresh ... very useful to see the creative process so alive in the work. Thankyou
yes
Thank you Stuart, for showing a really good technique for sketching , wonderful end result, and demonstrated in a relaxed manner.
Incredibly done! Thank you!
You have a wonderful way of teaching along with the gift of painting. Well done.
Beautiful, you go at a good teaching pace. I love the grass idea, and all the paper towel tricks . I will have to try this out. Thanks
Staurt, I am lucky I found your tutorials, love your style of painting.
You make it so simple and yet so amazing.
Thanks for sharing your videos.
Great tonal quality again, so many ways you could go with it
Stuart...this is a wonderful video!! I so look forward to each one. Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️😊🎨👩🎨

Amazing as always!
I absolutely love this Stuart,it’s the 3rd time I’ve watched it.🤓❤️❤️❤️
Great to see a new vid from you! I really enjoy watching you go from smears to what appears to be substance :)
Thanks so much for so much in the way of tips and advice. All of which I am finding very useful and inspirational, as I work through your vids.
I'm sure your generosity will reap it's rewards. By giving so much away you will surely receive as a result.
Many thanks .
It was very informative and helpful. Thank you so much.
The 57 thumbs down are from people who work for companies that make expensive brushes.
This is so gorgeous, really love the feeling of this painting. So loose but so powerful. Thank you for posting this.
I'm currently painting commissioned olive tree in acrylics and got so much inspired by this.
Hope next year I get the opportunity to attend your class. Thanks one more time
Brilliant video! ‘Brain fills in the missing branches’. Loved it. Many thanks for your tutorial. Subscribed!
Wow that was quick. Love it.
Amazing technique and timeline for a great painting
I have trouble with light and shadow application any of your videos in particular you would recomend?
@@rlchick5774 Possibly this one: th-cam.com/video/WctGKfiSEMA/w-d-xo.html
Love your work. So helpful and inspiring. Thanks 😊 so much 💓
I'm learning volumes from you, I studied 6years at 3rd level art and animation. You have knocked me flat. U R Great, Sean
your art is absolutely stunning and incredibly inspiring.
Thank you Stuart. I'm very new to painting (watercolors) , but when uninspired or frustration sets in I like to dabble in oils or other media and find it refreshing. All you say can be applied to other media as well as oils. Thanks again.
STUNNING AS USUAL!!!!
Love this, have been using acrylics, but just started with water mixable oils because of the smell with original oils, I love how easy they are to work with, but have a lot to learn about technique. Will keep watching your videos.
Perhaps it's the turpentine smell you didn't like? Oil paint just has a slight smell of linseed oil.
Just discovered you and your videos today... Already watched 4. I'm learning to paint.... watching and listening to you make me feel that I can truly learn. I like the way you do your sky. Thank you for great videos.
Love your technique. You make it so easy. I watch your videos again and again. I love how a complicated landscape with so many planes and levels appear and just created by wiping. Fabulous!! Thank you for your videos.
You are so welcome!
Thanks Stuart. Great to watch and love your technique as usual.
never tire of your teachings and talkings : ))
Lovely!! Thanks for sharing!! Still waiting for your next book!!!
Great stuff as usual Stuart. Your style looks effortless, meant as a compliment btw
I am so happy to have discovered you and your videos! I have actually begun painting again after a too long inability to get started. Your skies inspire me to be free and not concern myself with others opinions and comparisons of how I once painted. It’s FUN again! Thank you for enriching my life.
Thank you for sharing your process. I am truly inspired by this method of loose and relaxed painting.
Thank you for your teachings. I've been using white spirt for years and one of your videos where you mentioned the fact that you can use only oil to thin and clean brushes has been a very valuable lesson 🙏
Bellissimo e molto istruttivo...grazie
I’m absolutely loving your work. I’m retired now and have taken up painting- currently struggling with watercolour. I haven’t tried oils, but you are inspirational . Thank you so much.

"WOW!"

I'm going to try this, lovely technical simplicity, an art in itself.
I enjoy your videos very much and look forward to the next. Thank you for sharing.
A very effective painting, I love the limited pallet and technique.
Love this painting. Love everything
This is awesome, I'm a painter too and thanks for the awesome picture! Much respect from Ohio💪
I love it. I remember Bob Ross’s happy trees. I missed him. I like to see what happens and not force anything .
Love your videos learned so much
superb!... as usual, every single line is a story and the canvas becomes a window overlooking life... thank you again for another lesson!...
My paintings begin with a mess...and end with a mess! 😁 Another great piece, Stuart. Thank you.
