You explain everything so clearly! Thank you Malcolm.

[@MalcolmDewey]

It's a pleasure

[@cherylfrank6468]

Wonderful! No lecturing tone from you, just a quiet, polite , conversational tone, that is helpful and gentle and so informative. No ego! I’m loving what you do. You are best with you explanations, and encouragement. So glad I found you, just 2 days ago. Thank you so much. Smile more❤

[@marinashaduri7836]

I like your demonstrations not only because of your beautiful versions of reference scenes, but also because while painting you remind us the most important principles (easily forgettable) and many useful tips. Thank you, Malcolm

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jansplanet]

A great lesson to turn an everyday scene into an artwork. I think this is where I am getting the most out of your demos & courses. I always thought you had to find the perfect scene before painting it. Thank you once again!

[@MalcolmDewey]

You're very welcome!

I love how you have the reference photo on screen all the time - it really helps to see how your painting evolves - thank you 😊

Finally a reason to begin a change from painting portraits to old street pub scenes. Thank you for the informative and well understood explanations to force me to start new projects.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you, enjoy it.

Your videos are some of the only ones I watch where the painter seems to actually know what they’re doing. You are conscious and aware of what makes a beautiful composition plus and interesting painting. I really appreciate that. Thank you for making helpful videos!

When you put a horizontal line in the middle I worried. The consequent diagonals made so much sense afterwards!

[@cynthiamcelfresh3998]

Really enjoyed this lesson! I think I forgot to blink! I paint too tight and incorporate too much detail in most of my paintings. I keep wondering what’s the point of painting a perfect copy of a scene or picture. Might as well just have the photo. I’m hoping to get to the point of painting scenery with colors, contrast, and feelings. Thank you for teaching me how to do that.

Prior to watching your videos/demonstrations Malcolm, I was putting too much white in my shadows. I had a similar problem another subscriber of yours (said he had been having), whilst painting shadows in concrete/asphalt. It ended up looking too much like water. Your teaching methods I find, are much easier to understand than other art teachers, I have followed in the past. I very much enjoyed your interpretation of this scene. Thanks for sharing it.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you - glad this helped

Thankyou very much for the demo. Sorry I missed the live one. Whilst I liked the end result of your painting my preference would be to both simplify and keep the picture cleaner overall. Not a criticism of what you have done just a different way of seeing it.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you

[@gumobe55]

Hi Malcom. I knew all of your 8 tips for greater depth, as I teach them myself. However you presented them in a very clear way with your demonstrations. Great advice. This demo of painting a relatively ordinary subject is one of your best/most helpful. I love how you block in, take it to the next stage & then take your near (but not) finished ptg through what is sometime called the ugly stage to a more refined finish - & the ongoing discussion of what are you painting & why, is truly excellent.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you, I'm happy to hear that. Very helpful feedback. 💯

[@miglenayovkov2250]

[@callmedeno]

Even when I think I have done thin layers underneath, I never seem to get such easy clean notes above it. Your oil paints always look strangely easy flowing but at the same time stiff, not running into each other. I'm using watermixable oils (i've experimented with different amounts of medium), would you say real oils tend to have consistency that is easier to work with out of the box?

[@MalcolmDewey]

I do not use mediums with my oils 8ncluding water mix oils. First try brands that have buttery oils straight from the tube eg. Maimeri or Rembrandt. Plus bristle brushes. If you do need to soften the paint then a tiny amount of linseed oil. Use a dropper. That should solve the problem.

[@callmedeno]

Are you diluting your paint with spirits while painting over existing paint?

[@MalcolmDewey]

No, I don't use mediums except at the very beginning to draw out a composition. From there on out, no mediums.

I always thought that it was very important to keep nature’s colors as realistic as possible. Your painting is beautiful yet the value of the grass is way lighter compared to the picture. A bit confused which way to go…

As long as the value structure remains in place you can use any colors you want.
