The way you paint foliage never ceases to amaze me. Such fine minute details, really brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

[@mariecaroniaplotkin5268]

you're what I call the master of landscapes bc I've watched 100 or more videos of various artists and yours are always the most incredible .

[@gailstritzel9066]

It's amazing how realistic your paintings look. I would love to see you paint a flower garden or a field of flowers with trees.

[@Art_factory_from_stoneAge]

There is nothing to waste in his videos. All are worth watching and the efforts of his.

[@joym6507]

I learned a lot from you. I always searched some tips and I found the solution from you. And also the lectures. My sister was asking me to paint a family tree. And I put some Japanese tree. And she said there must be a background. So I draw some drafting. Its a japanese garden. And trees from far in a distance I've got from you. Your techniques help me a lot. Now I am painting a tree that lookslike real. And I found you. I have only problem using paint when painting distance. Sometimes I paint all clear color but I found its must be faded. When you pour the water, my imagination was you pour me a water in me. Its a joke. I was smiling here. Thanks Michael.

[@roryaubrey]

I'm from the states... and I adore you! My lord I could listen to you talk for hours..HOWEVER..you have taught me sooooo much.. and I'm so grateful for your videos

[@Dr10Jeeps]

I'm running out of superlatives to describe the realism of your paintings. So, I'll just say........amazing! On a side note, my style of painting is more impressionistic but I sure do enjoy watching your videos. As always, thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@dbabs1558]

I watch your videos because they are so informative but also helps me relax. I have used your tips in my own paintings and they make such a difference. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@sophiebuzora9616]

Ah, those brush marks of yours... Just unbelievably gorgeous.

[@junkettarp8942]

Michael is the best tree and grass painter.

[@sylviapaints]

I love how you included the demo for making a cup of tea first. I always forget that part 😂 seriously though great video!

[@ljudmillataylor8368]

I can't stop smiling when i am watching your video. Thank you very much for sharing your tips

[@carolesimon4571]

wouah super réaliste !! merci pour cette technique , je ne comprends pas pourquoi vous avez des personnes qui n'aiment pas !!!! c'est vraiment magnifique!!

[@suegoodfellow3687]

beautiful paintings as always, the intro made me smile but then I had to go & make a cup of tea before watching

[@jilleoute6679]

Painting and choice(s) of music terrific. I missed your videos for awhile but am very pleased to again be able to enjoy watching you produce beautiful paintings.

[@ivancollazo3164]

Great, I like your style of personality, not to mention your WORK.

[@sandraberry3155]

I have had trouble painting leaves since I first picked up a brush 3 years ago, this video has at last given me hope.. Thank you so much...

[@gopinathannottath]

Michael, I like all of your works. the way you take strain to detail each portion deeply. you are an expert. all the best, keep going

[@MarcoKrieger]

Like always, when i watch one of your videos, im half way down the road to throw away my brushes and search another hobby. But you also made me want to be a better painter...its funny how this works. Very nice picture, it is harmonic but it is not boring. One could imagine to hike on the side of the river, or have a nice picknick in the shades of the great tree. Your pictures are story tellers, thats how i see them.

[@pennypiper7382]

Fabulous artwork Michael. Thanks for your generous and inspiring tutorials.

[@somuqureshi2470]

My heart beats faster than anything in excitement. When i watch how it looks so real.

[@jorgevega6143]

I’m so glad you are back with that sense of optimism teaching and inspiring us, amateurs. I always learn from your videos.

[@luciemorin502]

Thank you so much Michael. You always impres me the way you make nature look natural.

[@jacobomayorga474]

Hi michael glad you're back and see your art work again. Love your paintings. Wish you the best!

[@angelarivas4051]

Thank you you did a great job and thank you for your time is so beautiful God be with you and giving you help every day

[@deejo2]

I'm working on a painting with pink trees like crepe myrtles and this really helped. Of course, the colors are different but how to lay in the foliage is what I was looking for help on. Your painting skills are AMAZING!

[@Vaquero_triston]

thank you for the advice! i just struggled a bit doing a tree painting today, i'll try again doing a little of what you said in the video

[@highphysics3617]

Yeah! Cuppa tea,me too. You are so clever. Perseverance is the key. Magnificent detail in the tree. Superb work.

[@debbielynn7881]

Ummm.. was feeling bit blah but now I'm walking into the world you created and it's a lovely place to be. thank you for sharing your art....heart. I aspire to do even a tenth of what you can do. I wish an entire wall in my livingrm was that scene.💖

[@christreanor6637]

You could do with watching muraljoe for that. I'm sure you will enjoy him too.

[@debbielynn7881]

Chris Treanor Hey thanks! Sure will check out. I appreciate the gesture. Winter snow had me ...ahh not feeling it today. lol. Scene made my dayyyyy.

[@christreanor6637]

@@debbielynn7881 you're most welcome Debbie, you should also check out kevin hill. He is a bit like a young version of Bob Ross in his calm manner, but better at painting. Not hyperealistic though like Michael here. Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

[@debbielynn7881]

Chris Treanor I will! Thank youuuu. You haven't steered me wrong yet😄

[@debbielynn7881]

Nickhead87 While technically you are correct.. artistically to recreate ..not an easy feat. I cannot do that perfectly... and I paint. So it is creative in paint.. in attempt... and in his perfect touches. 😉

[@carolmarlatt3834]

I love watching you paint! thanks for sharing.

[@conham4493]

Loved the playful intro to this video. Thank you for this painting demonstration (and all of them for that matter). Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Your art is absolute perfection.

[@DavidGuyton]

Great work as always, sir. You know what I'd like to see? A video on how you handle making various mistakes you may make using your method.

[@Msquared112]

Just amazing detail work. Your paintings look as realistic as photographs, only prettier.

[@stevenchavez5979]

Always so good. The tea effect was hilarious.

[@camillekhan1740]

THE TEA EFFECT WAS GAYISH.

[@stevenchavez5979]

Folks we have a troll. Trollette actually.

Thank you, I was stuck, not knowing how to do my foreground trees. Framing my main valley scene. Right, my turn now....

[@TSSTrainings]

Your paintings are like magic ! Superb ! I've just bought the set of brushes that you are using, from Rosemary & Co and I will give it a try although I'm not a painter, for me is just a hobby :-)

[@peggysterling57]

I love trees and you are an excellent artist. Did you use a small flat brush and paint with the side with just the tip of your brush. I'm a beginner, please advise 💗

[@princesskavitadrawing9273]

Beautiful painting sir ! Lovely 🌺🌺🌺

Michael can you please tell us the reason for the matt grey surround on the easel and why you choose matt grey over matt black? Thank you for your time - Mike.

[@donnajacques3888]

thanks now I have to get a cup of tea. Have a great day

[@donnajacques3888]

Thank you this looks like some thing I could do. Your awesome as always. Catch you in there later.

[@catherinegreenup7231]

I want to use acrylics for whole of my paintings, just because acrylics paint is what mainly have in my collection of colours. Can’t afford both sadly. But, Im thinking to use retarder in the detailing and still use the blocking in method for the base as explained here. Because it really, really does help prepare your composition in your mind and it helps me develop my painting as I go. Acrylic dries very quickly without the retarder of course, but with retarder does give me about an hour for each section on the canvas. Loving this style, as I don’t need tons Of colours out on the canvas at one go. Just the colours used for the sections being worked. Doing it Way also I found lifts my layers out more and gives me or depth. WOW thank you for your help. I love this style.

[@swarnlata4974]

Amazing artist you are.

[@juanayalanieves3168]
