[@Grandpaplaysbass]

I'm never bothered by your being in the way. Your videos are always a joy to watch.

[@CarlottaART]

I agree...I would watch regardless : )

[@ben17ism]

To me it kind of brings a bit more depth to the process

[@susangrunbaum53]

Please don't apologize for 'getting in the way of the camera.' We are all aware that you are working and in periods of excitement or passion you need to do what you need to do! You're always careful to back away and explain properly, and for that I thank you! You've taught me soooooo much! I'm looking forward to see what you do with foliage and flowers.

[@monicastella9149]

I am in agreement with Susan. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@redwingblackbirdnell]

Holy cow!

[@elsiemitchell4453]

I have fallen in love with your calming voice I put your KZbin paintings at night watch and hear your voice on how to paint till I fall asleep.... I've ordered some supplies just so I can try your Technics... Thanks so much for sharing..

[@MikePulcinellaVideo]

Long videos are not a problem for me, Stuart. In fact I appreciate the amount of information and attention to detail. Watched the whole thing over the course of a couple days, here and there when I had time. One of the best videos yet.

[@michaelzonephotos]

Thank you Stuart for sharing your knowledge with us. In this video you asked us to put what is most difficult for us to paint. A bit of background on me. I am a 77 year old who has recently taken up painting. I have been drawing for years though. The thing I find most difficult is to paint water as in a pond or stream that convinces me that it is just that. I would also like to say that I find your videos to be the most pleasant and informative to watch on KZbin. So many who are here seem to feel the need to put themself out front and center as though they were more important than the process while you apologize if you happen to get a shoulder in view. Thank you again for being Stuart Davies, artist and teacher.

[@jennys.8703]

You never stop surprising me. At first I was shocked when you started painting over the "tree wall" on the left because I actually liked the painting the way it was. Then, as your work progressed, it seemed to me as if a window had been opened wide and fresh air was pouring in. My eyes wandered to the horizon and my heart started to fly across the meadows. Your decision was absolutely right, it made a good picture even better. Thank you for your lessons, I'm learning so much!

[@norbykarger4244]

You are an absolute joy to watch, and it is made better knowing that you seem to read almost every comment written on your videos. Really goes to show you are listening to your community.

[@StuartDavies]

I do!

[@omgupta3228]

"Painting is like poetry, painting is not that difficult, ,don"t be afraid of when a mess is created while painting,pause for few seconds to observe the shape the strokes are creating and build on them ..........................." and so on and on. You sound so highly convincing that even at the age of 67 years, I have engaged myself into painting , though with poster colour to start with and have posted some of my amateurish attempts on FB which my frinds have liked and encoraged me.But your lessons have and style of communication has removed the fear inside me and I feel friendly with colours and brush strokes, though with a very little knowledge about subject of painting/brushes/paints. You have made it very very easy for me at least for passing my time happily and creatively and have burnt a desire of ceating something worthwhile by trying and trying .......

[@judyweiss2317]

Thanks you so much for being here during this time. I love your work. All of them.

[@StuartDavies]

You are welcome!

[@judyweiss2317]

I hope some day I would love to travel to have lesson with you.

[@georgemocanu2825]

Thank you again for another lesson on freedom painting! Not only that I feel relaxed watching and listening to you but I also feel better than I was before as a painter, perhaps more empowered and confident. Thank you!

[@anabragaana63]

Just discovered ur changel by accindent. And, have been watching video after video of many of ur paintings. Boy oh boy have i been enjoyinģ myself,and enough so that ive been rethinking of taking my oil materials down from the attic. The fever is here........

[@cherimerrifield8907]

I love the Chinese orangey red......surprising how easy and natural it looks. Beautiful. Again, love the land portions.

[@judyweiss2317]

I so enjoy watching you paint. Its just magical

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much 😀

[@abr369]

Watching you complete that first painting - so peaceful. I don't know, reassuring somehow. 2nd painting: when you 'finished the sky, I thought - 'a stormy sea' (ie., water)!! And then the landscape: suggestive rather than detailed. Thank you sooooooo much for the teaching, advice. The feathering of the clouds - fanciful, ethereal. The 'speed-up' section - yes. The fields needed the focus. So wonderful. The water - yes. And now the fields and the sky are rich. Thank you, Stuart.

[@williampowell1975]

The sky is amazing. A little blue is all it takes! The drama is in the clouds, so the more the better. Up to a point.

[@coleneritchie5625]

Another absolutely gorgeous sky. I am so envious!!

[@williamnoble8011]

Stuart never boring. not a problem getting in the way. I could watch for hours on end. I have learned so much great skill thank you

[@mickmchale1]

Hi Stewart, From Galway, Love the way you paint, I am addicted to dramatic skies .Can't manage buildings in the distance,( houses, cabins, etc) never happy with my reflections on water. just finished sun going down on Galway Bay .The diving board just drove me crazy!!!!!!Please find the time to have a look at same????? Co Clare to the left.I have a wonderful idea, Come to Galway & do a painting course???????You would actually love Galway???????

[@franceskasper8716]

Watching this painting and enjoy your talk. What I find difficult to paint is water in a lake with rocks along the shore. Thank you for posting this painting you are working on at the present time.

[@robertaneuhauser1418]

Beautiful poetry, as always! Thank you for your time. Thank you for your expertise. Thank you for your generosity in sharing both with us! Until next time....

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much!

[@davidbell8734]

Thank you Stuart your freedom and artistry are inspiring

[@131dyana]

one does a painting and does not think of any thing except the painting. Your talent is great. Just continue on and do what you want to do.

[@yuiop987]

Very much impressed and I find it extremely useful. Painting sky is the most exciting thing for me.

[@elsiemitchell4453]

I loved it.... Been watching your videos for now 4 hours... And I don't get bored.... Thanks

[@coleneritchie5625]

Gorgeous, just gorgeous!

Enjoyed the whole painting hour.Very interesting and exciting.It worked

[@adamsaoud7191]

thank u so much u wished up our fear of painting away u make painting so easy and trust our self more so u can stay in the way as loon as u want just keep talking telling us what to do and how to do it thank u from Syria again with all pain here u bring some joy to my soul

[@martimajor4766]

So beautiful! And I loved it before you started. AND it did get even better. So dramtic and transcendent. AMAZED. What a gift to this housebound person who just loves to watch people do their thing. Genius on parade. Thank you so much. I would love to be your student. I am your student. We are renovating our house, but in a few months or so I will have my own studio workshop again and I will start painting again. You have so inspired me. Much love and appreciation.

[@chrissy1310]

Mr. Davies thank you so much for filming your art and talking to us with instruction. I am a beginner artist that has fooled around thru the years in beginner style. But youtube with all these 1st class classes has really stepped up my game! Plus learning tricks with brushes, placement, perspective. SO MUCH FUN! This painting has my heart. I do not know what this kind of art is called, but it is my favorite. I inherited a bunch of framed prints from my grandparents, probably from the 20's or 30's and they all have these colors and style of painting. Just beautiful! Because of your use of large canvas/plywood, I have gessoed over a yard sale print I have, from the sears and roebuck days and I am ready! It's about 24x48. So excited! Thank you so much Stuart Davies! Love Chrissy from Vermont

[@geoffc1862]

The degree of distance you've got in painting 2 is amazing. Bravo Sir!

[@ruthbarker5572]

I love the sky's that you create....they are so bold with so much movement......

[@healthylivingandwellness1018]

I am so pleased to have found you! I ventured into painting in 2006, though I haven't created many pieces due to hardship. In 2006 I painted a few pieces in acrylic and had to stop. Later in 2016, I braved into painting with oil, and to my amusement, I loved it. I share your passion for painting the skies, and I also never took a class. Also, much like you, I like the pleasure of painting from my imagination. Anything else becomes work, but I refuse to let that be the case. Last, thanks for the pointers. I appreciate your quick lesson on perspective. You are a delight to watch. Thank you, thank you, thank you

[@elleneimla6620]

What an amazing sky and clouds! Thank you again for sharing your excellent talent!!!

[@annettenestor4751]

Two great paintings! Inspiring ... and so many interesting techniques to practice and master.

The sky is so realistic, I love it! I could stare at this painting all day! Thank you,, Mr. Davies!

I could watch you paint all day long. I’m learning so much. Thank you!!!

[@marlenegraham2123]

Thank you for the very informative lesson. Beautiful paintings. So enjoy watching you paint.

Excellent Stuart ...

[@dennisrperrin9122]

Just painted along with you and very pleased. Your speed of operation is both challenging and liberating.

[@jeanbillington4856]

Love your painting, the sky is so pretty. Will be watching more in the coming week.

[@davidstruwig8715]

Recently discovered your channel and I just wanted to say how fantastic your tip, hints, and tutorials are. Thank you

[@StuartDavies]

Glad you like them!

[@stuartwilson8706]

Fabulous, just add and guy in a red jacket and you have an improved Constable. Cheers, keep em coming Stuart

[@peterparkinson7952]

Your advice has really liberated the way I paint. It's made it a thing I look forward to doing instead of a thing I want to do, need to do, yet, curiously, dread. And the result has improved, no end! Keep posting videos!

[@peaceandharmonium]

So glad to have discovered you on you tube - totally agree with what you said about not using time lapse, sometimes it is beautiful to watch - like a ballet - but if you are trying to learn it's quite intimidating and as you said, a bit like showing off! Really enjoying your videos and learning lots, thank you - Lisa

[@scottydont7904]

This approach to painting inspires me to paint larger and to loosen up. Thank you

[@melaniefranziskasellmeier3453]

Your teaching and techniques are soooooo helpful!!! I can't thank you enough!!!

[@StuartDavies]

Happy to help!

[@defin99]

You have a wonderful impressionist style and fabulous free flowing movement.

[@cherilynne1946]

I’m new to your channel, Mr. Davies. In watching this particular video, I’m coming away with a sense of confidence in my approach to my painting. It did me a world of good to observe you calmly wiping away and painting over a portion of the painting because you were dissatisfied with your original choice of composition. I needed to see that and to listen to you explain why you made the change. It made absolute sense to me. Thank you.

[@mkivy]

I watch ur instructional paintings over and over and I think I make more mud than distinctive shadows and highlights...as I watch u I try to anticipate ur moves and over-all effect and I’m pleasantly surprised with ur end -result. Ur trees look like they will jump off the page, and I never realized, the sky is never one color...it’s a myriad of colors at different times of day...I also have to place a light over my shoulder to dictate and remind me where my light source is at all times....I’m still experimenting with the amount of Lind seed oil addition to thin my paints...so today is another day...hope u are better after ur last allergy attack... thank u sir. Thoroughly enjoy ur work...

[@RobertHopkinsArt]

Excellent work Stuart! Both paintings work really well.

[@anncinderey9797]

Once again, stuart, a masterpiece. I still love your work.

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@robotfart]

wonderful work and thought process!

[@lmhaberer]

I've just stumbled across your page recently as I am starting to paint myself. I'm not quite sure how it happened, but I was struck recently, almost very pointedly, to start painting and I have immensely enjoyed your videos so far and will certainly continue to watch! You have a lovely approach to painting that I find most helpful and, of course, your paintings are beautiful. Thank you for your knowledge thus far!

[@juxtabilly]

"Real anguish" describes it beautifully. It's the giving a sense of depth and perspective to skies that causes me real anguish, and I am grateful for the encouragement I get from your videos. Thank you for your time and good vibrations!

[@kathleenlairscey5934]

Landscapes are fabulous

[@Shipslaw]

Exactly as you say - I was struggling to get a certain effect in clouds and eventually decided to wipe the paint of and retry but lo and behold, as I started the very wiping effected the result I was looking for. I find your commentating as useful as the demonstration itself. Bravo sir; you inspire!

[@uncabral]

Great! Watch it all the way, with pleasure and since I am into painting I got some learning too. Thanks.

[@karennaturallyartby]

Going back and watching some of your older videos. Is this where you began to focus on painting more dramatic skies. Anticipating your next video!!!

[@nedz1371]

Absolutely beautiful paintings. I love the simplicity and colours of the second one. Thank you…

[@liesalllies]

I'm so glad I stumbled across this channel! Just the perfect thing to wind down in the evenings.

Because of your inspiration, my skies are now more natural and dramatic

[@redmm5256]

This is so interesting to watch and listen to! I really enjoyed watching along. 😄

[@StuartDavies]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@hamidaahmed4311]

Always impressed by how you manage to see in the freedom of your brush strokes and how the pain lands on the canvas ... rolling landscapes , mountains and canopy of sky wow wow !! ... What I find difficult is mountains and and running water within the context of distant landscapes .

[@rochford1000]

Thank you Stuart. Nice work and informative!

[@barbarawolfe3080]

I am in tears watching your video. I jumped all in my livingroom and was yellling yes at the tv. Everything you did, wiping everything out , redoing , randomness!!!! I have been painting all my life and never had any lessons. I watch a lot of videos! Rules rules rules. I hate painting dark to light and and shapes. It’s not me! I’m a very random and all over the place! I cried watching you!!! Your brush kills me!!!😂 I am from Georgia in the United States! I plan on watching everything you have done!!!! I absolutely love your techniques!!!

[@lilasazgar6651]

Dear sir, watching what you did in this session gave me great confidence, because I found out that you are the God of your work and can do whatever pleases you. One can wipe and redo the mistakes. I enjoyed watching you teach. Thanks a lot.

[@SusanneBirkvad]

It´s so incredible what you are doing, Stuart. I’d like to answer your question about what I find the hardest in painting. I’m pretty good at using my fantasy, so I often make a lot of mess in the first step. Here’s my headache 🤕, how to clean up the mess, how to turn things from chaos into some kind of order? I may miss a clear method to control my ideas? I have tried sometimes to start with more control in the work, but it tends to get stiff and “dead” in the end. - here comes my further comments on what you did in part one of your video: you wiped off some beautiful trees and made a landscape in theirs place just as beautiful. Hereby, You answered my question number two, can one do that? and yes, with success. I’m glad I don’t have to begin with a completely new canvas 🙂 In fact, most of my paintings throughout the years have been over painted several times. I’m not a professional painter (I’m a danish professional actress and play writer, director), but highly talented one. I wish to save money for one of your lessons. I’m your age and don’t travel without a purpose any longer, furthermore I don’t use FB 😀 Susanne CPH

Your videos and explains are very great.... You are a real inspiration to me.... I have to dare start it a large canvas... Thanks you so much again for your videos @stuartDavies !!! my Best regards

[@earthwithoutartisjusteh7579]

I can see why you are changing things constantly just for demonstration purposes, that requires mastery of the craft, very nice way to teach. Amazing!

[@Rjbcrone]

Took me 3 attempts to watch this. My family is slowly learning that when they hear your voice they need to leave me alone😏 Brilliant, as always. To answer your question about a group venue: Interest, YES! Funds, not so much. I have no doubt you’ll have no problem filling up with need for a waiting list!❤️

[@jamestierney7123]

Love your talented work and music. Also your troll treatment program🤣😂🤣

I can’t believe that over the last two years I missed this one. Absolutely love it! Watched it from beginning to end. Fascinated by the salad. I must try to do this. Stuart, the sky is amazing!😊

[@davemarron4605]

Stuart, Thank you again for generously sharing your knowledge. Such beautiful paintings with so much freedom. So inspirational. Time flew. I could have easily watched for another 90 minutes. I find watching you paint is a bit like meditation , but with an amazingly tangible result.

[@lieblee3063]

You know Stuart I woke up around 4am and couldn’t sleep most of the night. Come across your channel by accident and your calming voice cradle me to sleep, I subscribe and hooked on your channel ever since. Still watching you🤣🤣😂

[@stephenlea4089]

brilliant as always. could watch all day. fascinating

[@flutefun999]

I am SOOOOO glad I found you! You have no idea how much you have inspired me. I create art with many mediums but all of it has been "realistic" in style. I'm good at that...but burnt out! So I haven't done much work in recent times. For some reason have always been afraid of oils though. I have a set that I've never touched... but I will be starting today! You called this type of painting "tonal painting" and I feel that is EXACTLY the style I want to master! I am binge watching your videos now and learning so much! I want to thank you oh so much for posting these videos. I love your teaching style and even your shoulder that makes random appearances! Thank you, thank you thank you!!!!!

[@flutefun999]

Oh and my hardest thing to paint is water. Hard to make water not look like land or sky. I know using the palate knife to create the white lines helps but still hard to call it "water" when I am done.

[@joannecarothers9659]

Great key word "twinkling" I will keep that in mind as I work!

[@rosemaryharney5353]

I love this painting! Thank you so much!!!

Super work. Excellent instruction,and,an absolute pleasure to listen to. Thank you for going to so much trouble to share your painting with everybody. I am hopeless at landscape painting,but,you are giving me some confidence to keep trying.

[@alix5704]

Very good lecture about nerves showing up in brush strokes. I think so many of us go into painting with so many years of corrections in mind that it ends up being like a golf swing by a duffer, and for the same reason. I'm still working on not caring what anyone else thinks.

[@irenepeek3211]

Thank you so much for sharing your talent and time so generously. The paintings are so beautiful and I do enjoy the music and your voice is so calm and easy to listen to. Yes, I watched to the end. I'm fascinated with the perspective you achieve. Living in Michigan, USA, I don't have scenery like that and I'm enjoying learning from you. Thank you again for sharing your part of the world with us. Greatly appreciated 🤗

[@emilianobre9398]

Your dramatic skies are beautiful and the most difficult for me is sky and cliffs by the sea ! Thank you for you tips

[@Floatingaxe]

Oh, Stuart! I am enamored with your (seemingly) effortless way of painting! As an acrylic artist, you make me want to try my hand at oils again! If only I could afford to come to France from Canada to take in your class! Don't you worry about getting in the way of your camera...it doesn't impede a thing! I can hardly wait for your next video---which I always watch all the way through!

Bonjour monsieur, J'ai visionné quiet a few of your videos. Je ne sais pas encore quoi vous dire de précis, mais une chose est évidente: vous avez ouvert mon esprit et mon approche pour peindre. Vous m'aidez considérablement pour envisager librement les fameux " I change my mind ". Voilà, mon premier commentaire déposé ici. Peut être et sans doute m'adresserai-je à vous à nouveau. Merci Mr Davies. :)

[@StuartDavies]

Merci Caleche!

[@daf827]

Boring? Perish the thought, Stuart!There is nothing remotely boring about watching you work your magic. Your landscapes are so evocative and peaceful to glimpse. Is all of the land in this painting “wild” and natural, or are there farm fields and vineyards off in the distance? I particularly like the way hedgerows crisscross the landscape. So distinctly French!

[@shazart1111]

The way you made the fields, hills and sky roll had me in childlike awe Stuart😯 ...and such a limited pallet.. Are you sure your not a Magician? 🤔😂😁 Thank you for sharing your magic ✨😊

[@penelopegallardo5386]

I love your work. Simple yet professional.

[@abitofeve6544]

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much 😀

[@humbled289]

I was just thinking yesterday that you have not posted anything in a bit, then i saw it today and was thrilled. I love the first painting i thought it was a great change to rid of the wall of trees. I felt a feeling of relief as the painting opened up. Felt like a big door opening and giving me a sense of freedom. Sounds weird but that's how i felt. Beautiful painting. The second painting i love the perspective and the clouds. Love your little stories through the painting and look forward to the next painting.

[@LindaRUDYK]

Lemon yellow is perfect with the cobalt blue. So helpful!!!! Love the diagonal strokes. Need to learn to do this.
