An Inspirational Palette - Oil painting with Stuart Davies

[@capmericle1931]

You sir are my favorite of all my KZbin teachers, of which I have quite the large collection of teachers I follow. I thank you for your uploads, talent, and wisdom. 👏

[@StuartDavies]

Wow, thank you!

[@mosesa9347]

Very selfless of you to share your knowledge and wisdom of oil painting with the world. Love your style of showing landscape detail without actually painting details for hours, because my creative power is for only a short period of time. Thank You.

[@eavenp5795]

wonderful ! if you want to keep your practice palette painting, you can "print" it. by laying a paper over it and carefully rubbing it all over, then peel it off. like gelli printing...

[@vickiebourgeois6068]

In the southern United States we say "drizzle." However, you may get a wide variety of answers to your question from Americans because we are not all the same. My husband is a Cajun from South Louisiana. I am from the mountains of North Alabama, with a distance of about 500 miles between the two areas. We have VERY different sayings for the same things and are continually learning new words from each other...even after almost 20 years!

[@maryl1785]

Don't worry about the sound quality. Your voice is very soothing so it's not so irritating to have the noise of the microphone. Thanks for the lesson on perspective. I've so far watched 15 minutes but need to go somewhere and, as usual, am saving it to watch a bit later. I love doing that and i'm glad it's a longer video. I always learn from your videos and appreciate the time you put into them!

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@CarlottaART]

Soooo agree Mary L

[@alanmakesfilm5253]

Thanks so much for this, more of these videos on composition because I think that's one of the things that make an artist an artist, they can just see this stuff and paint whereas others need more teaching I think. Love to see more of this please. best wishes!

[@marypartridge5154]

I love the way you seem just to knock up paintings and I love the big brush. You are not precious which is refreshing in the art world.

[@tanyamaxfield1261]

Thank you...yes it drizzles here in America. Very light rain. Vermeer please.

[@sukihitz291]

What a wonderful video ! Thank you so much. I , for one, truly enjoy your lecturing…keep it up. As always, I learn so much from each video. You are always an inspiration!👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@elleneimla6620]

What an amazing sky! I love observing you painting! Watching and learning from your videos is now a part of my daily routine. It's a good addiction. So fascinating how the last bright spot of color added so much to the sky. Many many thanks!!!

[@noakessimon]

I am going to be trying this on my own glass pallette, what a good idea thanks so much! Gives us the lectures, I want to learn!

[@maureenbrophy7852]

And Ireland….. same English.. we have drizzle here too Love this. I’m sure u make it look easy Red ochre beautiful💕💐

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ParlorPunch]

Just wonderful. Thank you

[@AJ-sj7ys]

Worry holds back.... Very true...... Worry of not being perfect holds me back most of the time... Thats my block.. But once I start ( after a lot of efforts) then i become totally involved and i forget about everything thing else.... Thank you so much for sharing 🙏

[@luciagannett5400]

Talk about Turner and anyone anytime! Also loving the painting in progress talking. Very little I wouldn’t not want to hear you talk about . And love observing you painting!

[@dshepherd107]

Oh this one is just brilliant! You’re such a fantastic teacher. This was delightful to watch! Thank you!!

You're very welcome!

My daily Stuart video fix, not a day goes by without me watching one :)

[@StuartDavies]

Thanks, Jonathan!

[@schlippery1]

@@StuartDavies I would like to share a photo of something I painted as a result of steering my style towards your really inspiring style..:)

[@bobpeyser4448]

Thank you again Mr. Davies. I found this lesson quite helpful and inspiring. I especially liked the beginning where you painted on the glass palette experimenting with different compositions. I'm going to try that as a means of "loosening up."

[@michaelcody3829]

That's an incredible sky, thanks so much Stuart for your great teaching, greetings from Australia 🇦🇺.

[@normanmerrill1241]

Spent my formative years in Oregon…I promise you it “drizzled” …on and on and on…good lesson as always…be safe…

[@trishast.george2971]

The beginning lessons were soooo helpful. Thank you so much truly. The whole video is beautiful and never stop talking!! “Thickish” paint 🤣🤣🤣

[@doveydeath]

Beautiful work as always. Keep on inspiring!

[@BJones-yw4dd]

No worries about the mic, Stuart -- it wasn't that bad at all, more like hearing wind in the background. I've heard tons worse. The use of my collection of glass palettes as compositional "playgrounds" never occurred to me. THANK YOU for the fabulous idea. Also useful for trying out brush strokes, perhaps, before laying down the actual stroke on the canvas. The possibilities are myriad. And yes, "Drizzle" is commonly used in the US too. Thanks again.

[@lorachristian7030]

I have been watching your videos for a while, and I immensely enjoy them, your voice adds a relaxing effect...and your paintings are mystical and beautiful!

[@ThomasJohnson-ld1wv]

I'm a Landscape Artist,and I paint skies,but not like yours... since watching you paint i will try to paint some skies like yours to put into my paintings.thank you for such magnificent sky painting

[@blackdiamond5507]

"It's drizzling out." is a VERY common way to describe a very light maybe steady rain here in Wisconsin USA. Thank you for all your videos. I use the dreaded acrylics but your presentations are SO entertaining and relaxing !!!

[@truthful316]

Aww, you are in my prayers to ease your allergic responses to anything causing those problems for you, Mr. Davies. I need you here always. You make painting so much more interesting and fun than most teachers ever could hope to aspire! LoL

[@abbiehulson789]

There's always so much to learn from every video I have watched so far, I'm so glad I have stumbled across your channel. Thank you for your inspirational videos 🙏

[@dennisrperrin9122]

Great job again Stuart. You’re such a refreshing change! • Laid back • Confident • Skilled Keep em coming 😉

Thank you! Will do!

I'm always amazed...thank you so much!

[@bailey10e54]

The clouds you paint are just so wonderful ❤️ Your work is incredibly beautiful!

[@rawleymyers5647]

One of your best, Sir - in my humble opinion. I am simply in awe of the speed you created such an entirely believable landscape.

[@destbar6610]

You're an writer! You're very talented.

[@raytheron]

Outstanding once again, Stuart! Yes, more videos, please, and I'd also love to hear you talk about Constable and Turner, to name but two.

I'm glad you're back ,i was having withdrawal symptoms 👍

Yeah!!!! Stuarts back with another amazing video!! Soooo Excited!!!

[@lm2487]

I was looking forward to a new lesson! Thank you Stuart!

[@raccoonlittlebear6476]

Inspirational as always! Thank you Mr Davies. A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step, as they say.

[@danielholt6741]

Another inspiration painting to put in my collection to reference! Thank you Stuart

[@CarlottaART]

Yes, in the US we say drizzle but not smattering of rain….Beautiful painting Stuart. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole episode. Thank you!!

[@zokakamber]

Thank you Stjuard..❤

[@PegEOisme]

Of course we say drizzle! 😁 Sometimes, here in Nevada though, it just spits; except yesterday. We had a regular downpour! I loved it and so did my garden.

[@kathleenmacfarland1817]

Always an inspiration Stuart Davies :)) Much appreciation n sisterly love n' prosperity n' great health to you and your family!

[@jess65963]

I laughed out loud!! Suddenly nothing happens. Soooo true.

[@davebannister4222]

as a replacement to paper\plastic plates i bought in the local supemarket a pack of 5 white glass plates for 4 euros for the pack easy to wipe clean after a session and if you stick one on top of the other upside down the paint stays wet for weeks (oil ) or a couple of days acrylics regards dave

[@michaeldavid2320]

Drizzling, sprinkling, misting are all terms for a light-ish rain in coastal Georgia. Drizzling here is probably considered mostly sunny and nice in Seattle and London : )

[@swarnlata7437]

Love it,so beautiful imagination.

[@FLYBOY123456789]

Now that my friends is a true artist...brilliant.

[@amigopiojo11]

Mr Stuart , your style of landscaping rural zones remains me a lot to images from México , my country , specifically around of México city and the central States like Guanajuato , Queretaro and Zacatecas.

[@georgefrench1907]

“Drizzle” is the term in New England, too. It’s less than rain and more than what the Irish might call “muzzle.” Thanks for the inspiration.

[@richardturner1175]

amazing, truly very inspiring! I would love a glass palette to help get images blocked out onto, you made this look so simple. btw, before you softened the sky, I swear I saw a sea-scape forming, like a windy stormy seascape by Turner! And if you ever did decide to lecture, I would certainly watch, I learn quiet a bit from listening to you teach, you have years of great experience to draw from. reminds me a lot of Cranes work - so simplistic yet so much detail. thank you again for the great lesson sir!

[@BJones-yw4dd]

For ease of clean-up and mixing, I can totally recommend a glass palette. But please don't think you have buy an "official" artists' glass palette. ANY plate of glass will work, though tempered glass is of course absolutely the safest. I have accumulated several "found palettes", ranging from cheap glass "cutting boards" from a discounter (2 for $5) to pieces salvaged from discarded ovens. You can also tape a piece from a gray paper palette to the underside of a glass palette to give yourself a neutral/mid-value "surface" to mix on. :-)

[@glennsmith5149]

Very helpful, Stuart!

Wonderful video. I've been using picture glass as a palette lately, but it never occurred to me that you could actually paint on it.

Thank you sir!!

[@billmasson5313]

Wonderful video as always, sir! Yes, I would thoroughly enjoy a lecture or two...or more...from you on any of the artists you mentioned, but especially Degas, Monet, or Vermeer. Do you have any thoughts on Giovanni Boldini? His loose style has always fascinated me, & your painting style often reminds me of his, which may explain why I admire you both so much. At any rate, fantastic work & your efforts here are much appreciated.

[@maryellenworley4901]

Love this one. A job well done!

[@Corne.Fine-Art]

Hallo from South Africa, I love your videos! I'm inspired and can't wait to try it myself. In Afrikaans we say "motreën" for drizzle, in isiZulu it's called khiza

[@jerryhicks5940]

We say drizzle when it's just barely raining. Less than a sprinkle. Lol!!

[@myartisticevolution8900]

Thanks for sharing on the FB Oil Painting page, I have not been painting long and looking for all the tips I can.

Very good example..

[@qcookie]

Yes, we say drizzle! :)

[@l.wolfm.7006]

What an amazing sky! Well, the entire painting really. Another great example of your Illusion of Detail. I know that you use Titanium White...just wondering if you have ever tried Holbein Ceramic White? I bought a large tube of it just out of curiosity & it's quite nice and perfectly inert. Just thought that I would mention it because I know that you like to experiment with different pigments like the lapis lazuli powder. I bought a pre mixed tube of natural lapis lazuli oil colour $$$ & I was a bit disappointed with it. It just completely lacked that reflective old world mineral beautiful blue that I was expecting. Oh well, you cannot win them all but, I was super pleased with the Ceramic White. You...& all of your watchers/students/followers - please stay safe, healthy, and happy.

[@jacobzagone1208]

It drizzles for sure in America.
