A Simple Landscape Part 1 - Oil painting with Stuart Davies

[@raytheron]

Who on earth has the unmitigated gall to tell you off??? Every painting of yours is simply amazing, Stuart. I cannot get enough of your work, honestly!

[@gretashelly8881]

Very good

[@annablack7363]

I agree

[@dshepherd107]

Indeed!!

[@capmericle1931]

Completely agreed, I wish he had 70 videos up.

[@annablack7363]

So lovely

[@marybriggs4125]

That was a wonderful hour Stuart, it is great to see the painting come together. Your explanations and reasons are spot on. As I am in my eighties I haven’t got time for excruciating fine art and detail surrounded by rules. Stiff joints and trembling hands lend a surreal visionary appearance to my efforts but that is part of the fun. Keep up the good work.

[@elleneimla6620]

Very magnificent! There is so much to learn from this and all your videos. In your face, the universe has given us, the admirers of your art and style, such a wonderful person. Biggest thanks!!!

[@flyme2themoon720]

That painting brings tears to my eyes Stuart..Its amazing and feels like such a safe place..Thank you

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jackteare8292]

@@StuartDavies excellent methodology, could you point me in the right direction to get excellent copies of masters so I can do some master copies. PS, no music please, you give good advice and you have a very good narrating voice. All the best Stuart.

[@jamesestinnett22]

Stuart, greetings from across the pond. Just to quick note of appreciation. I have watched many of your videos. A thought I would say a thank you. So, Thank you for your content m, wisdom and allowing us mere mortals to watch and listen. I enjoy your commentary as well as your skill. Your paintings are wonderful. Reminds me of Constable in many ways. Appreciate your efforts. Many times I go back and watch some over again. Thanks again. Keep talking and we’ll keep listening. James New York, USA

The painting at the beginning is absolutely glorious

[@kimkelley3721]

I watch your videos every day. Watching you glaze this painting. You are a master artist Stuart. Absolutely love your style and your accent!

[@serina38]

Mr. Davies, I love your art and your soothing voice. This has been very relaxing and enjoyable.

[@alfredgrafke1792]

Beautiful painting sir. It really pulls the viewer in giving the illusion of walking into the landscape, going over the hills and really being there. Thank you for sharing.

[@ulrikekuhlmann2166]

Thank you Stuart for sharing your magnificent lightly way of painting amazing illusions. My 16 year old daughter and I just had a wonderful time... especially when we learned that there is something like "deblobify" 😁❤ We love it - that'll be our favourite word for the next 2 weeks.

[@tewaibrown70]

Love listening to you Stuart, love what you do with paint...thank you so much

[@Skykill808]

I to want to thank you for introducing me to Paynes gray and the use of paper when painting. Just these two additions to my paintings have elevated my style. Thank you for your videos!

[@panchoverde5078]

Love your work. For myself, I listen much more than I watch, so I appreciate the long videos

[@skysky9115]

Your green earth is absolutely facinating...love the perspective, feels like when you travel on train in Europe...dreaming....processing...dimensions of beauty and grace....

[@lorachristian7030]

I learn an incredible amount from your videos, have never seen such a beautiful, quick and relaxed style of painting...and I am applying these techniques to my own work with fantastic results!...thank you so much!

[@amarillonapoles]

Thank you for sharing this amazing method of painting! You are a master and a fantastic illusionist!

[@Doppy34]

Goed morning Stuart, as always a pleasure to hear you talk while you do your beautiful job. About water soluable oil paint: I use Cobra artist quality and I absolutely love it. I use it it straight out of the tube and if I want to thin it I use the painting medium designed for it, put something in a very small bowl and mix it with water, till I can get the paint to thin the way I want it. In between I can wipe my brush like you do and if I need to clean it more, I just rinse it in water. To clean the brushes after finishing I use dishwasher. Paint and brushes are workable the next day without any cleaning of brushes.

[@user-hm2tg8kz1l]

I love the sky!!!

[@AW-xc1xc]

I have recently gotten back into painting again, and just happened to stumble across your channel. Never regretted it, and subscribed within the first minute.

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you!

[@charollovelace3287]

I love your dry humor… I have dry humor as well, that’s how I know you have it, LOL. You’ve truly inspired me. I’ve been watching you for a while and I was definitely in a slump ( I would sit down at my drawing table with old pictures that I had produced but had no inspiration to do anything new … thanks for the inspiration, been watching for a good while and I love your flow.

[@kmlund42]

People can be rude with comments. I buy the cheap brushes and become they are cheap they do not hold up very well. I love how you economize your work down to the funnest parts. This is from years of experience and I could only hope to get to that level of joy.

[@truthful316]

It's me again, and hope you know I cannot ever get enough of YOUR videos, Stuart.. one of my favorite artists of ALL time!!

[@StuartDavies]

Wow, thank you!

[@eavenp5795]

I really like this painting. I live all the fields and lines and the clouds are amazing.

[@jimmyli9678]

And I thought I was the only one to use the phrase "Deblobify that". Well done sir. You are an inspiration.

[@brjazzrzp8698]

Brilliant work! I, m from spain and you motivated me to start painting. Thank you for your art, maestro.

[@tanyamaxfield1261]

Thank you once again Stuart, lovely painting as always. A good deal of the charm of your video is your voice over.

[@ljstearns1]

Thank you for your time; appreciated. I’m so enjoying painting this style. 😊

[@dennisrperrin9122]

Your magnanimous mastery of memorable machinations magnifies my mysterious mental modes massively.

[@StuartDavies]

Hmmmmmmm.

[@R1chiesART]

Subscribed the moment I found your, erm, channel. I'm a prolific painter of acrylics because of the cooler temperature here in Bolton, Lancashire and it gives good drying & blending time. Maybe one day I will erm, branch out and try oils, recreating the tonalism on the moors around me here. Thank you for your innovation, time and teaching techniques. Inspiring!!

[@tuoni42]

Thank you for the inspiration again Stuart, always a pleasure to see you paint!

[@marieniemand3263]

Hi Stuart, Excellant as always. Thank you sooo much.

[@lheath3431]

Thank you, Stuart, for another wonderful video! Especially loved watching you work with the palette knife on the sky. And never tire of watching you create the illusion of a detailed landscapes through wiping and adding blobs. You make it look easy! (Another illusion!) Your videos are always inspiring and encouraging. Two years since I spent a delightful 5 days in your studio. How lucky I was to have that experience before traveling became so problematic. You are so generous with your time and knowledge. Just want to express my deep appreciation for these helpful videos.

[@StuartDavies]

@L Heath Hi Lindsay, is it really two years? It was a pleasure to meet you too :-)

[@dankennedy553]

So glad you left those little “accidental bumps” in the foreground. It appears to me like an upheaval in the earth and some lovey tufts of grasses. Beautiful and so enjoyable as always.

[@anthonydimichele837]

Six Foot by Nine! Wow! Very impressive. Amazing.

[@kayakiranana6059]

I agree with Ray! But your humor is priceless..your work is gorgeous! The paintings done the “old fashioned” way are beautiful. Having a husband who is an art appraiser makes me even more interested😘

[@Attitudeofart]

This is amazing painting you are most talented artists

[@fiestylisa46]

I started crafts about 2 months ago and they got on my nerves,so I decided to try this. I done my first painting and was addicted and found your KZbin page.Addicted more lol.

[@gregoryschubotz7887]

I came across your videos by chance. I am amazed by your technique. I alwYs wanted to try a landscape but really didnt know where to start. I am definitely going to give it a try. You make it look so easy!

[@robinmacdonald7222]

In my self appointed role as last to the party I’ve just seen this video - I really have no idea why i keep missing everything - and, as ever, thoroughly enjoyed it. I just adore the understatement that is the sky. And can I register a ‘shout out’ for the music. The recent coronation would have benefitted from its inclusion, its that good.

[@wifi_cplay1238]

I like your atmosphere. I don't usually paint, but I bought myself some paint and other things. I don't think my pictures I made already were really good but I really enjoyed making them. Your advice really helped in keeping calm and staying confident.

[@MsgtMelton]

Great video as always. I have been streaming your videos since I first discovered them a few weeks ago and I have spent hours every day doing so. I love your approach of developing new and as yet undiscovered species of trees and bushes. I recently applied it to a painting I was doing using your technique I painted some very interesting bushes that I must have seen in an old Star Trek episode where they beamed down to a newly discovered planet filled with strange plant life. If what I painted resembles anything on earth it is by accident but in any case it looks pleasing to my eye and I guess thats what really counts.

[@Deester28]

“It’s not gonna be dolphins is it!” 😂😂😂 Always enjoy watching your videos Stuart 👍 keep them coming 👍

[@patsyprice3798]

Was stuck in acrylic for years being reluctant to mess with solvents to clean brushes and waiting for paint to dry...but then I happened upon you sir and now I won't go back to acrylics! I LOVE oils! You've shown me the way and I thank you profusely! I respect and admire your work. I'm using your methods in creating my own style.Will you look at a shot of my work? I like to do water scapes with some land in them! Thank you, Wayne Hall.

I use winsor newton water soluble oils, and they're nice! It's cheaper than traditional oils, and they have less fumes (especially since you use water instead of mineral spirits or paint thinner).

[@davidrustyschreffler233]

Working on a painting that needed a tonalism look in the middle ground. Was frustrated briefly until I thought to come back and watch a video of yours. This was a fantastic example! Love your work! And your humor… “Like the last chicken at the supermarket.” 😂😂😂

[@kathleenmacfarland1817]

Hi Stuart Davies! Just loaded my car with plywood boards, brushes and I'm gonna try some chalk paint (have gesso too) and yeah I'm excited and I've been painting using what I've learned from you and I love it !! I'm going to email you as soon as I can some of the pictures and I still have to glaze the two that I've done in your Illusion of detail and great Dramatic skies techniques!!!!! Love it! 👏🏼🤗

[@StuartDavies]

Fantastic!

[@therifftones2198]

Just dropped by to say thanks very much.

[@jimcoope7194]

One of your best videos yet Stuart! I can't wait to see the glazing finale! I am glad, however, that you didn't add the dolphins! That's more like something Salvador Dali would've done! Ha!

[@maryellenworley4901]

Beautiful painting. Love watching how you create the different landscapes!

[@amandawalton1120]

Hello Stuart! I’ve recently discovered your videos and am so thrilled to find an artist who paints the way I feel drawn to paint. Freely and however it wants to turn out. I’m still very much a beginner (only 4 months in with oils and 9 months in total if you include the acrylics I no longer touch since starting with oils), so I’m still working out a lot of little things. Such as when to stop going over with the big brush. My latest painting is too soft/blurry. Oops hahahahaha. Anyway, I’m commenting about the water mixable oils. I predominantly use Winsor & Newton water mixables. There is no huge difference other than a minor change at the molecular level that makes it so the oil and water can mix. Now having said that, for the longevity of the painting (and as recommended by Winsor & Newton) water isn’t ideal for all the thinning etc achieved with thinner or mediums. It is just water after all and dries differently than mediums and oil. So it’s still advised that you use proper mediums and thinners. They do have a line of mediums for their water mixables, which really should be a hint that they are still needed, rather than just water. I use them so I can rinse off my brush with water instead of thinner. Due to that it keeps the amount of thinner I go through quit low since I only need to use it for thinning paint while painting. Otherwise, I treat them just like normal oil paints. I have regular oils as well, and truly don’t see much of a difference other than rinsing between colours without thinner. So I tend to reach for the water mixables because I’m lazy and don’t want to bother preparing thinner and dealing with that hahahaha Unless of course you don’t want to rinse your brush between colours. 😉 I’m hoping to go back and fix my blurry mess soon. Thank you for providing content for those of us who wish to paint freely.

A comment about your worst video. Watching it was time well spent. Everyone of your videos I seem to learn something. I don't try to copy you but I do notice the way you load your paint brush or knife. The way you scrub or drag your brush across your great art. Some how you have made me a much better painter. Thank you very much.

[@randywarner9177]

I’m using your tonal painting technique with acrylics. I know. But I’m impatient. I used oils in art school but that’s when acrylics first started…dries in a few minutes. To do the whipping with paper to make it lighter I have to do it quickly. I also want to make some colors darker or lighter. Anyway, I hope you are happy in France. Randy
