Your tutorials never fail to inspire and encourage and leave me feeling as though I just spent the last hour or so in the presence of someone with extraordinary talent. I really appreciate all of your hard work and generosity in making these videos available to us. Thank you.
I love your paintings and your videos! I am a 64 year old man with a fair amount of tremors in my hands and a pretty amateurish artist at best. You have given me a way to paint that I can do, except on my worse days. My family loves the way I paint now. Thank you!!! Keep posting, please!
Enjoyed hearing you talk about your love of teaching, and please know how much you are helping all of us Stuart, I'm so grateful. Living in VA, near the Blue Ridge for 30+ years now, the second painting so reminds me of these beloved mountains. It perfectly captures the soft rolling hills stretching out miles before the mountains and that countryside. I absolutely loved that one. Thanks so much again.
After watching videos by ColorByFeliks, Paint With Kevin and many other channels, your videos have finally kicked me into painting in oils. Been doing acrylic for the last year and a half but I started my first oil painting in many, many years and approached it with your suggestions...the use of paper towel and minimal brushwork is just fantastic and I am already seeing an amazing painting shaping up...dramatic skies of doom with a huge cone tornado in the distance with a barn and two trees in the foreground...and there will be more trees and cows in the middle distance. Thank you for inspiring me to up my game!
Looks like this was put up a year ago. I’ve watched it before but I’m watching again. There is always something new to learn or notice. And your voice and way are so calming I can watch for hours. Thanks so much. Always great. 5/20/22
I just love all the paintings you do, and especially grateful that you are so generous to share with others! I ALWAYS learn something from watching you paint, plus I LOVE your dialogue as you paint - that in itself is a great talent!
Stuart, sir, you hold nothing back. I feel that everything you have learnt you pass on to your subscribers with such enthusiasm it's enthralling. You are the very best art teacher I have ever watched. Visually, your video's are a feast; then you up the anti by talking through all your actions from which we learn so very much more. Your teaching technique is second to none...plus, being a fellow Brit, I find your dry sense of humour a hoot. Thank you Stuart, your demonstrations are a joy to watch.
I think part of why I enjoy your teaching is you are 100% encouraging and positivity engenders much better outcomes in anything you do....I had several high school teachers who taught that way and had whole classes that all excelled....I think mostly because it was what was expected and believed to be the norm for teacher as well as students....it caused many of us to earn scholarships to college....
Thank you so much, Stuart - packed full of insight and, of course, your wonderful sense of humour! So sorry you're under the weather at present. Really hope your chest clears up soon. Take care of yourself and once again, thank you.
Hello from California! USA. One hundred thousand subscribers, wow. That’s terrific. I love to watch you lay in those little trees with a shmeck here and there, ahhhh wonderful. DONNA
Please don’t stop chatting & explaining while you paint. Your voice is perfect for this & I find it very enjoyable to listen. Sometimes I even reply out loud, lol. Funnily enough, there is another Tonalist painter on youtube who Is like to learn from, but for whatever reason, I find his chatter distracting & it annoys me so much I have to mute him to watch. He’s quite good, yet has a mere fraction of the subscribers you do. You have the magic combination of talent, unique ideas, a great deal of skill, the most relaxing voice, & excellent verbal-visual teaching methods. I’ve learned so much from all your videos. Please just keep being you & don’t change a thing! You’ve no idea how much I look forward to new material from you. Ty so much for deciding to share it with all of us. 😊😊. The more I look at this last one, the more it looks like an evening seascape to me, w/ the white surf rushing up to the beach below a little village sitting up above on a bluff, overlooking a mountainous peninsula in the upper portion of the painting, party shrouded in the blue mist-filled fog of evening.
Jenny from Australia - I can assure you that if you ever come to WA you will see a very blue sky with lots of white fluffy clouds, I'm looking at one now. I love watching you paint and would love to see how you would tackle our hot red deserts and burnt summer landscapes.
Was looking for ideas and inspiration to paint loosely...I find your video very encouraging...it makes it seem possible for me so I can get started. Thank you :)
I only recently learned about the painting style of “tonalism”. Following your tutorial about dramatic skies, I think I’ve created my first Tonalism painting. It was great fun and when I set it aside then came back to it, I was pleased and am leaving it as my first example. Thank you for your expertise.
Stuart, I've been watching your two landscape video for the last few days and love your approach, style and especially the encouragement that you offer your viewer. One little problem, (a good to have problem? I think) is that half way through your videos, I want to turn it off and go and paint. I've done that many times. In fact today, I stopped after the first painting and put on my apron and did my version of the wetlands as I call it and it may be one of my best ever. Even your little illustrations like drawing class in college , draw the body, leave spaces, is helping me loosen up and I can see the progress since I've watched your videos. Keep it up, I'm sure there are plenty like me who are growing because of your teaching. Thank you. Tonight, I'm watching the blue painting with a nice Chardonnay. .
Excellent! Glad to know you've been to my neck of the woods in the mountains of North Carolina! The 2nd painting is easily imagined as looking down on a flooded field with the French Broad River and Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance. With the glazing, you could even go a bit heavy with white for mist, and have the Great Smoky Mountains. Always enjoy learning something on your videos. Thanks!
This is wonderful! I learned so much. I appreciate that you zoom in to show us just what you are doing. I so enjoy your talking...never be silenced!😀😀. Really enjoyed the two smaller paintings...Please take care of yourself..looking forward to the next video!❤️❤️❤️
Steward, I would treasure one of your paintings. And when I piss I will give it to my grandson who is 11 years old, he already knows about you because I'm always talkin about your paintings. Wishing you good health and thanking you for all your advice. Mrs. P. Andres
Enjoyed watching, and inspired me to start a new painting. I have several 9” x 12” boards, so fast and small could be good way to loosen up. Excellent teacher, thank you so much!
Great lesson Stuart, thank you so much. I forget to turn on my camera every once in a while too! It happens to all of us. 🌹

Very great, love this way... Thanks for this video
3 ปีที่แล้ว
Thanks @stuartdavies your art Create a wonderful feeling. Its wonderful to see your video, even if I dont Understand your way and technic to create your art.
I’ve painted along with the first one on a smaller scale and wife also loves the result. The second one is planned having studied the video twice now. Got my first piece of plywood yesterday. And a sanding block. So, I’m a fan of the technique. I get it. Gesso. Maple syrup. And letting go. Have a great day. 😉
Just when we need some inspiration at this miserable time, you come up with this wonderful remedy, just what we need to get us back in the mood! When the icy blast we're experiencing here in Cornwall at the moment abates, I'll be back in the studio, reaching for my brushes. I had expected stoppers and the receding, eye-catching path with the first one and, perhaps just subtly, they're there. Wonderfully dramatic sky, as usual, and without a dab of blue! Love it. The second one looks unfinished to me. Is it? If so, will there be another video addressing this? Thanks again, Stuart. Keep them coming!
Ha! Just realised how my first comment might have been read. I hope the edit goes someway to making my true feelings about this piece clear, and also of my appreciation of your work, Stuart. Do keep them coming.
Wow...the sky in the first painting is a slight departure from your usual style but I absolutely love it! There seemed to be a lot about how you feel when you see an interesting sky as well as how it actually looks.
I was so happy to find a new video. As always, the skill, experience, insight, humor you share are so appreciated. I hope you feel better asap! I do have a question......I have purchased Sap Green and Red Ochre, but I do not seem to get areas of more red and more green, it is all pretty much mud brown. Is it my proportions or how I load my brush?
I am trying out your loose technique with acrylics, and water as the medium. It is working out okay, but have to work quicker than oils I'm sure, thank you for your instruction
Inspiring and really helpful -- happily as becoming usual. One tiny thing...that you've probably already decided against ... is the marking off of your borders. When that's done with tape, I love the voila moment when the tape peels off to give a nice clean edge. I could see that being a nice thing to top off the amazement at the end of your videos.
Love this! Thank you so much, wonderful! Would you tell me, I like birds, how would you draw simple birds in the distance? Love this so much- getting my boards ready with gesso and got paper I put gesso on also for practice. Thank you!
Thank you for another brilliant video, Stuart. By the way, don't worry about the cat hairs; we've got two dogs and a cat, so you're getting off lightly!
oh and I too have cat hair to deal with, so I can relate...again thanks for your videos..I really get a lot from your teaching..!!!! I'm able to follow along and can pick up on your style, which is a lot like my own, fast and freely-moving. ...so....
Blast yer eyes Stuart Davies! I've been trying keep my hands clean since I heard you say you did... and failing... and feeling like a failure... and now THIS! 😳
Hi Stuart, thank you for sharing. Please tell me exactly what you are putting on your brushes to help me. I just use lots of Linseed oil to try and get the same liquid effect of flow, but my paintings will still be tacky when I'm dead. The sky here on the south coast of England is grey+ thunder + lotsa rain! Best wishes.
Thanks so very very much...changed my painting!!! SOOOO simple and free!! love your way and all that you ARE just like me!! we'd be pals should we .had met !! Our "thinking" is very similar..COOL!!! A friend I hadn't met yet !!!
Very nice painting. Love it so much. But I'm not keen about the last lines going above the trees, on the first painting. Thanks so much for your excellent teaching. Please take care, be safe. Cheers from Oz
And I told her " Baby, that's how I live, Fast and Loose".. Her father tried to warn her, " He's reckless and unpredictable, try to be sensible .." But alas, soon she was riding around on motorcycles, wearing leather jackets, and listening to jazz played by gypsies. As you may have guessed, she began to write poetry and wear colorful scarves..
One of my favorite channels to listen/watch while I draw. I vote yes for all the talking thanks Stuart Davies

I like your painting techniques, Mr. Davis, because you always show us how painting SHOULD be!
Just love your painting ,hearing you talk both so peaceful, don't change anything.
Joy in these troubling times.
I watch all your videos. They are never boring. I love your spontaneous unexpected humor. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your painting style is just amazing to me. You make it look so easy to turn out a classic painting! You are a gift!
I always learn something new. This was a pleasure to watch!
I just love all the paintings you do, and especially grateful that you are so generous to share with others! I ALWAYS learn something from watching you paint, plus I LOVE your dialogue as you paint - that in itself is a great talent!
My favourite France based English grandparent ever!!! 😃

I wish your paintings were real so that I could stay in them forever. Amazing as always mr. Davis!!!!
Right on Stuart, you shouldn’t be silenced, your a great instructor, love watching you paint ! Regards, John Slawson, Toronto, Canada

I love your paintings and your technique. It's so freeing It's like you feel what you're painting.

It’s alway amazing to watch how everything make sense at the end.
Hello from California! USA. One hundred thousand subscribers, wow. That’s terrific. I love to watch you lay in those little trees with a shmeck here and there, ahhhh wonderful.
DONNA
Thank you Maestro!!! Best Art lesson demonstration tutorial or whatever name we can call it! Not only on youtube
Please don’t stop chatting & explaining while you paint. Your voice is perfect for this & I find it very enjoyable to listen. Sometimes I even reply out loud, lol. Funnily enough, there is another Tonalist painter on youtube who Is like to learn from, but for whatever reason, I find his chatter distracting & it annoys me so much I have to mute him to watch. He’s quite good, yet has a mere fraction of the subscribers you do. You have the magic combination of talent, unique ideas, a great deal of skill, the most relaxing voice, & excellent verbal-visual teaching methods. I’ve learned so much from all your videos.

You always surprise, Stuart, what fun, keep up the good work.
You revitalise the imagination every time.
Very enjoyable! I appreciate your talking along as you paint!
Jenny from Australia - I can assure you that if you ever come to WA you will see a very blue sky with lots of white fluffy clouds, I'm looking at one now. I love watching you paint and would love to see how you would tackle our hot red deserts and burnt summer landscapes.
Love the second one also!! Both are just fabulous, learn so much here, thank you.
Brilliant. I am now into your second video landscape. Amazing.
Your talent never ceases to amaze sir! Mine however never ceases to frustrate!
Love tonalism and this video is wonderful. Learned a lot
Thank you for sharing your talent. Good wishes from Australia.
another woeful lesson. thank you. Love your patter and sense of humor. Please, do not stop.
Thank you really enjoyed watching you paint, I will try and have a go!!
I love your free easy style. Thank you thank you!!!
Was looking for ideas and inspiration to paint loosely...I find your video very encouraging...it makes it seem possible for me so I can get started. Thank you :)
thanks again Stuart, always appreciate your teaching. You already made me paint way more freely.

Love these two, learn something ever time. Thanks
"... I will not be silenced..." Bravo and thank you.
Beautiful painting!
the more I watch the painting, the more I hate it because how easy the maestro get the image done with minimum touch and stroke. Respect 🙋❤️
Colours in the sky.....had a bit of that browny/orange grey this morning which often means snow.... I love the soft pinks of dawn myself...
Excellent! Glad to know you've been to my neck of the woods in the mountains of North Carolina!

I live near the blue ridge mountains. I wouldn't have thought someone from France would visit here. Very cool 😄
Uou need to be famous right here right now.
You are just amazing!
Hope you feel better soon, thanks for deciding to paint!!
Thank you!
I’m trying to learn with you..trying to move my arm not just my hand...your paintings are so free and full of movement...

So omg need to paint going crazy without my easel. Getting my paint fix on watching another One of your episodes.
What do you do with your paintings once you've made the videos?
I like your massive start. I can't start like that. Always worrying it may fail painting.
Brilliant Stuart, don't put a boot on these 2 mate !
I am trying out your loose technique with acrylics, and water as the medium. It is working out okay, but have to work quicker than oils I'm sure, thank you for your instruction

Happy birthday Stewie, hope you have a wonderful day celebrating with your family Patricia Andrews
❤ your videos Stuart - the paintings are great 😻 cat hairs are fine 😹 in fact, having the cat in your videos would be even better 😺
Very nice as always, Ray in California. Something is coming I remember.
Love this! Thank you so much, wonderful! Would you tell me, I like birds, how would you draw simple birds in the distance? Love this so much- getting my boards ready with gesso and got paper I put gesso on also for practice. Thank you!
Enjoyed the finger painting effect.
Prayers you feel great soon..
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I love both paintings. I fiddle as well. Sometimes its hard to stop.😂. Hope your chest clears soon.🙏
I am inlove with your art!😍😍
Yes! New video ;)
Thank you for another brilliant video, Stuart. By the way, don't worry about the cat hairs; we've got two dogs and a cat, so you're getting off lightly!

Hi Stuart thanks for your quick reply. I have now found this medium now.
Awesome videos buddy. I’m a new fan
Nice one Stu ,I think I'm learning, I'm trying to predict how you handle your brush and paint,as I say I'm trying!!!!!!
Thankyou very much for sharing your video
Oh wow!
Blast yer eyes Stuart Davies! I've been trying keep my hands clean since I heard you say you did... and failing... and feeling like a failure... and now THIS! 😳
Great stuff!
Hi Stuart, thank you for sharing. Please tell me exactly what you are putting on your brushes to help me.
I just use lots of Linseed oil to try and get the same liquid effect of flow, but my paintings will still be tacky when I'm dead.
The sky here on the south coast of England is grey+ thunder + lotsa rain!
Best wishes.
@ Geoff Heath You need to add a drying agent to the paint.
"Bobbly trees", sparkley bits. Terms my husband now hears. A smaller area is a much more controlled effort that I appreciate
Wow, that's a great skill. Have a nice day~~♡★☆♡♥♥
I’m itching to have a go however, finding it problematic sourcing those cheap brushes!
Love the new video.
All the best.
Thanks for these! Been under the weather myself, but as you've said, I force myself to paint. It's my job, so I am loathe to 'call in sick.'
Thanks so very very much...changed my painting!!! SOOOO simple and free!! love your way and all that you ARE just like me!! we'd be pals should we .had met !! Our "thinking" is very similar..COOL!!! A friend I hadn't met yet !!!
Can you give your definition of tonalism? Thank you for the lovely tutorials!
Sorry for the delay... Tonalism, dark, moody and emotional :-)
Very nice painting. Love it so much. But I'm not keen about the last lines going above the trees, on the first painting. Thanks so much for your excellent teaching. Please take care, be safe. Cheers from Oz
Wonderful Thank you
I love you, Sir.
And I told her " Baby, that's how I live,
