Keep talking I like it people who don’t want to listen can turn the sound off? 👍🏼

[@dougiescanlon5621]

Amen keep talking.

[@bronking8809]

"I've just got to let the cat out of the room..." Gold. Like poetry. Thanks Stuart, your videos are lovely.

[@StuartDavies]

Glad you like them!

[@mikejs3393]

Stuart, keep talking whilst your painting, I love your thought process, together with your British sense of humour...”Bloody wonderful To hear it mate”

I really like it when you explain what you're doing on each painting. And, of course, it goes well with the entire process from start to finish.

[@marilynk2609]

I thoroughly enjoy your talks!

[@fayee8986]

I find that you have a style like none other. Nothing wrong with that for sure. Beautiful landscapes. Love your skies. Thank you for your know-how.

[@fayee8986]

Forgot to put where I was from. From the deep south of the United States. Enjoy watching.

[@katherandefy]

“What else should we talk about?” How about how awesome you are. Oh and I’m still in the middle of this vid, but gotta say you’re very encouraging. Thanks for that. Oh since you asked I much prefer to hear you talk throughout about the process. Background noise? Nooo keep it on, if we’re asking me. I don’t have misophonia but the opposite. The sounds stimulate the sense of paint going on the board. It’s highly participatory. And the outro music was badass. Nice version.

[@imagegod]

As long as you asked: It's impossible to enjoy your narrative any more than I already do. To be honest, given the right producer(s), you could easily be an American staple. You may not want that...at all. Which is fine. My point is that your videos resonate in a way that's impossible to describe, except that's its comforting and enjoyable in equal measure. Keep up the good work...and forget the American (or French...or Aussie) accent. Your voice is spot-on, and your words are a perfect fit for your images. Much gratitude!

[@lindacamarata3592]

Like what you said...echo..

[@dshepherd107]

I couldn’t agree more. Very well stated. My favorites are the long ones in which Stuart explains very helpful tips/methods, while throwing in some very enjoyable chatter. I find his voice very relaxing & often re-listen to his podcasts when painting. If anything I enjoy my own 🎨 more as I listen to Mr Davies.

[@tolbos007]

And so I watched this video the whole Sunday, start to finish--- bit by bit, went to have breakfast, fed the cats, watched the sea, thinking and contemplating.... and what an inspirational Sunday it was, Stuart! Yes, please talk all the time. Sometimes I make notes, like "It is not about precision, it is about feeling, waking emotion"; " Push the land up into the sky, it gives perspective." I have learned so much from you the past year. Thank you!

[@Shigatoxic]

I appreciate the narrative while you paint. The decison making process is the most important aspect of learning how to do something. Thanks!!

[@carolmurphy]

Definitely an element of genius in what you do Stuart - I don't quite mean that you were born with a paint brush in your hand and had the immediate ability to swish some paint around a board and create a beautiful scene, but just, whatever genetics you inherited combined with a lifetime of work has resulted in a fantastic eye and a seductively magical painting style - keep on keeping on, we're all winning from it

[@Floatingaxe]

Chitter chatter away---I love the accent! Beautiful work, as always, Stuart! You really help me with my reticence to paint landscapes!

[@gwennamarquis1742]

Love watching your tutorials, and listening to you explain your thought processes, and changing your mind. Painting turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing your time!

[@catcharnell]

The fog brings back a deep memory for me! I am a “retired” teacher and I can say, you are a very good teacher and you are improving with each video!

[@johnmarkie7224]

Thank you Stuart I'm nearing 60 and haven't painted for years I've recently begun again and find your tips valuable your paintings are wonderful and I say to my partner your an unconscious comedian at times thank you again I've picked up lots of tips in this video

[@jackstixrud6412]

I enjoy your talking. Goes perfectly with your beautiful painting.

[@monamckinnon112]

I have just recently found your youtube videos and I am agog (god smacked) at how you can make all those funny shapes turn into fabulous paintings. I am in western Canada and we just don't get such dramatic skies. Love your work.

[@sheilamarieful]

I love this painting, your teaching, your talking, all of it. Its one of my favorites for sure. Thank you so much!

[@sukihitz291]

Thank you so much, Stuart! The person receiving this painting is sure to love it! I love your longer videos..the longer the better! And, I do so enjoy your chatting away while you paint. Makes us feel as though we are there with you. I always come away from your video with new insights ..Thank you, once again , for sharing your teachings with us.

[@jinimurray4090]

Yes, me too. I never wanted to paint, tho I’ve been told I’m gifted-- UNTIL I found STUART Davies. He’s changed my attitude disposition and now starting to really enjoy... THANK YOU, STUART❣️

[@131dyana]

Thank you for telling us why you are doing some thing to the painting. I appreciate that.

[@marytaylor2381]

I love when you talk . You have a divine speaking voice and I enjoy your stories of history and your instructions. It would be cool if you expanded to paint places that are of historical significance and tell the story as you paint it. You can get more history buff followers as well!

[@philipsamuels5623]

Keep talking, I love your comments, and hearing how you work around the process. I also like your dry sense of humour.

[@dornroeschengartenulrikekr6773]

Hallo Stuart. Thank you sooo much for your wonderfull videos! I am from germany and i love to listen to your peacefull voice and like to hear some storys about your interesting live and the good informations about painting while i am painting alone in my studio. Make your videos as long as you can...i watch them all several times. Because of your videos i paint a lot more landscapes in oil than in acrylics and i enjoy both. You are a wonderfull teacher and your paintings are amazing. This " Foggy Landscape " is fantastic and i love it. Stay save and never give up making your interesting videos for us! Best whishes from Schleswig- Holstein, and sorry for my funny english. I understand you very well, but my writing is sadly very bad.

[@jonathanhall3894]

Thank you Staurt for another exciting painting video. So dramatic yet soft at the same time. You never disappoint 🙌

[@marleneherbst5347]

Love the nostalgic feeling your landscape paintings give me. But I am begging for a seascape please!! Thankyou - fan from SouthAfrica

[@mikes7736]

I love watching your videos! I find myself looking at an advanced technique then a simple one. I would like very much to see (if it exists) a list in order of your videos. I want to start from the very beginning. Thank you.

[@clydeletreta6325]

Oh yes, please keep talking, that's how we learn, not just by watching you paint but, listening to you plays a big part of the learning process....do talk our ears off Stuart..Aloha!🤙❤️

[@AylaZA]

I recall my deceased hubby saying that he had never seen and artist 'wiping away' paint. So pleased to see an esteemed artist doing what I do

[@marilynk2609]

I gave up but your wonderful presentation called me back! Thank you so much !

[@mariliamonteiro3458]

Love watching you painting, talking through it and love your sense of humour! So admire your amazing talent! Keep painting, talking and teaching us your beautiful style of painting! Love it ❤️ Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 👋

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much!

[@jinimurray4090]

Ahhhhhh thank you. I want to work loosely. I feel like I'm at edge of icey waters needing to jump in. I only discovered you yesterday been binge watching I. So grateful to see your real casual yet phenomenally beautiful work---WOWOWOWOWOWWWWWW I AM SO GRATEFUL GOD HAS BROUGHT YOU TO ME. (PRAYING - LORD WILLING) I WOULD BE EXTATIC TO BE ABLE TO COME TO BE YOUR STUDENT NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU STUART!

[@MiaRose878]

It makes me so happy to be notified of your latest video!Thankyou So Much Stuart ! Mia 🇬🇧

[@marleneford]

I love hearing your thoughts while you paint. In a funny way, it helps me understand where you are heading....I learn a lot watching you paint and hope someday I produce something as wonderful as your work is. Thank you for sharing.

[@michaelcody3829]

I really like hearing you and the way you explain things. Thanks for your great teaching.

[@aliciadawson2753]

I appreciate you talking while painting. I like hearing your thoughts as you go:) Thank you so much for these tutorials Stuart!

[@StuartDavies]

My pleasure!

[@garyheger8198]

Stuart, Please keep talking, your narrative enhances the visual. I am impressed with your technique.

[@StuartDavies]

Many thanks!

[@Artist_Crafter]

I love how you are explaining your painting process and thoughts! Thank you.

[@cheryrobertson2735]

In California we see simular landscapes so I feel right at home watching you paint, please continue talking as you paint, I value your input and your personality of course!

[@dennismitchell5276]

My role in life is to let the cat out, or in. Sometimes I get to paint.

[@StuartDavies]

Lol :-)

[@hookedbycrafting5348]

I think you've whipped up a storm in every video I've watched ❤

[@nathanmirr8182]

You're an amazing painter, and I love your work. Cheers!

[@donneekk3169]

Your commentary, word high jinx and play is delightful and I enjoy the frequent chuckles as I learn.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

An answer to your question, Stuart. I love it when you do a voiceover, and I love it when you are painting in real time. I do think you are more focused when you are doing a voiceover. But I totally enjoy both no matter what you do.💕

[@zenomangum3504]

I like your talking when you talk about techniques and your thought process. Also the personal stories are amusing. You have encouraged me to believe I too can paint even though I can not draw. Thank you!

[@carolgivati7372]

💕💕 you tube needs a ❤ button. Like is not a strong enough button for the way some paintings make one feel. Your teaching style is lovely because it is very harmonious, humourous and quietly instructive but interesting enough to keep one watching to the end.

[@micheleward9668]

No I hope you keep talking as you do your demo's for us. I love hearing your conversation to what you are doing or thinking at that very moment. Keep doing what you do, please.

[@rajendrakapoor8727]

Please keep talking, it makes it more interesting to watch and learn while you explain. You are simply amazing , Sir

[@jeannealleva]

Oh my goodness, what a blessing to receive one of your paintings!!

[@jeanmccloud5828]

Enjoy your chatting while painting. I actually feel as though I am there with you. Always learning something to take away!😊

[@joyousofferings6801]

I love your explanations and find them very helpful. I really enjoy your tutorials.

[@Beautyofcolors]

I have learn a lot of great aspects of oil painting these past few days from you, I just want to let you know, I'm so thankful for all your great advice, thanks so much for great upload. Your painting style is very authentic, especially the narration is just incredibly mesmerizing :) have a life full of happiness and take care :)

[@StuartDavies]

Wow, thank you!

[@buzzburb1]

Stuart you ve changed the way I paint, 1 painting every 3 weeks, tight and worrying to 4 a week loose and pleasing thanks so much, after this covid crap will be coming to see you , thanks so much, you`ve made a real difference to a terrible year

[@KarlEBrand]

Thank you Mr. Davies-in these uncertain times, your painting tutorials and paintings, give me anyhow, a peace and joy for an hour or more. I repeat it (and your other videos) often to give me more peace. Thank you-just a simple, but heartfelt thank you for these videos. Karl

[@StuartDavies]

Thanks, Karl, glad to hear you're enjoying them!

[@wandapowell4003]

I was taught to hold your painting in front of a mirror and it shows everything you have done wrong. Love you videos and your voice is very soothing. Thanks for all your work.

[@jamestierney7123]

I’m always here for the long run! You always bring me calm and escape from my treatment for cancer Thank you 🙏🏼 Keep your narration and process. Love your foggy painting. Thank you again 👏🏻

[@amybrown1550]

I quite enjoy listening to you. Usually quite informative. I’m gaining so much from you for my paintings. Thank you. 🇨🇦

[@maryellenworley4901]

I love to listen to you and watch you paint. It's very peaceful.

[@marionsummerbeeart955]

I'm working my way through your videos. Beautiful finished painting.

[@talshagan5000]

Seeing you paint just confirms what I thought since childhood, painting is a gift you either born with, or in my case, without:) You Make it seem so easy...I enjoy your videos a lot.

[@josephciosek578]

Yes. Please continue to explain what you are doing and why. Also love the bit of history. Love all that you do and say. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us. So kind of you and So greatly appreciated.

[@panchoverde5078]

Thank God. Happy to have you back

[@DebbieTaylorpdx]

I could watch you paint all day! Beautiful creation!

[@coleneritchie5625]

Love the talking while you’re painting. I think it really helps us all to hear your thoughts. The accent is great, too. Natural. Can’t imagine you trying to change it.

[@marlenemarconi6832]

Enjoy listening to you think out loud, your voice is pleasing, keep on! Your work is amazing!

[@billyholly]

What you might call blathering or whatever word you use, I really value it for hearing your thought process. Keep up the beautiful work! You are inspiring me and others, I'm sure! ...and I'll bet you will make this person's day! (Yes, I stayed to the end. ;) )

[@dutchamericanman]

Definitely like the talking. You’re adding important thinking process, showing me how you execute thought with brush. My vote: keep the talking bits. Thank you.

[@louisalinton]

In answer to your question, yes, I do like listening to your thought process as you're painting. You're a constant inspiration. Thanks for sharing :)

[@isculpt4u]

Just sat thru this entire video. You are definitely a wonderful teacher, and you are brilliant!!! Love you talks as well.

[@EllieChristine744]

I watched this video in May 2021, and it is long. I started last night, paused the video and enjoyed the rest next morning after breakfast, so no problem - I enjoyed it very much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Hugs from Sweden.

[@unajaneeskew2168]

I enjoy the commentary as much as the painting. I’m not artistic and don’t paint but am pleased to obverse your talent. I find it quite exciting, interesting and informative. Thank You So Much!

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much 😀

[@DarkForestAtmosphere]

I'm 3 years late, however, thought I'd give you my 2 cents worth. I very much appreciate the oral part of the process as well as the visual. Keep talking. Please. If you feel a bit cheeky, I'd certainly not object to a tour of British accents, whether in a single video, or one for each. IF you can do them. Having said that, you're very pleasantly clear and easy to listen to, and your videos are wonderful to watch. I'm not into Hollywood drama-rama; this is my kind of riveting. I know, I need to get more of a life, but, to-each-his-own. Thank you for sharing your process. I've been so inspired, I bought a ridiculous amount of paint, panels, canvas, brushes, medium, palette knives, etc. I'm hoping, after watching all of your videos (when I get through them), that I will be somewhat ready and be able to justify my embarrassing expenditure 😳 (Wish me luck)

[@gertrudborchardt4496]

I like that you talk while you paint. I have learned a lot from you even though I paint with oil and cold wax, but many of your ideas and techniques are totally transferrable. Keep chattering away.

[@richardlewis1257]

Love you talking through the process. So many artists don't say enough so we don't know what they were trying to achieve. Also, it helps us to think through the decisions we make when we paint.

[@terryedwards4383]

Thank you for allowing me to finally watch an artist, really you have shown me how to paint

[@johnlemm7638]

Don't you dare stop talking, my wife says your voice is soporific and it all adds to the quite relaxing viewing experience. We also love the paintings.

[@StuartDavies]

Ha ha! I promise not to stop; Thank you :-)

[@rosenahussey9839]

I just recently discovered your KZbin videos and I truly enjoy them ... love your instructions ... and your "comical" asides! I will definitely keep following your paintings. Thank-you.

[@KerryFreemanMelbourne]

Keep up the narrative Stuart. We like it and it connects us more with the process, and get insight into directions and the process.

[@ianbrown8418]

Thanks for your videos Stuart, I find your comments very helpful and informative - particularly when you are explaining your thought process as you work. I also found the intermittent integration of the picture you are painting from onto the screen helpful, reminding me of where you have come from.

[@raytheron]

Great to hear your talking while you paint, sharing your train of thought with us. Another lovely painting. I like it very much.

[@heliosium]

Keep on talking, as a good painter and a good person. Thanks for your time! (From Chile)

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you very much!

[@dorothyg3012]

I have to admit I wondered where you were going when you slapped white paint across the sky, but I've watched you long enough now to trust the amazing results you end up with. Wow! The sky sure came out beautiful. Love your voice explaining the paint color and brush selections. Fascinating taking the journey with you.Thank you for your wonderful painting tutorials.

[@daf827]

What a pleasant surprise during these awful times to see a new Stuart Davies video! A nice long video! I’m only 20 minutes in, but I’m loving it. So relaxing and inspiring! The way you break down the source photo is very instructional. I’ll now savor the remaining hour and 20 minutes!

[@kathleenhutter4412]

Lol, I prefer the narrative, it adds to the engagement and entertainment! If someone doesn't want to listen, it is easy to mute. Otherwise, chatter on as it allows the viewer to see the thought process that is the driving force to the painting! And yes, in a painting, it is "my world" so I can create it as I like. Definitely! Thank you very much. Enjoyed the video and the painting!

[@inlesinlet]

*Yes, please talk!* I don't paint myself, but your calm presence and voice helps me relax and sleep. It's funny you say painting is a kind of poetry; I do write poetry and think of it as "word painting" :)

[@amymcclosky1778]

I quite enjoy your videos. Your work is inspirational and your commentary is perfect. No need to change. Thank you for being clear and descriptive as you work. The stories add interesting character.

[@carmelarugel4722]

It’s so interesting to hear your thoughts. Of course talk. Loving the sky being formed & the pink contrasting with the white below.

[@isculpt4u]

Here I am watching this video again. A lot to learn from it. thanks for sharing and thanks for being there.

[@karennaturallyartby]

I love this format, love your narrative as you paint.

[@homayounazarnoush5699]

Fantastic artwork and great experience, I learned a lot.Thank you so much ❤.

[@leroyjackson6984]

I love your style of oil painting. It is very unique. Thank you Mr. Davies!!

[@johannbull1092]

I love your teaching videos and love to hear you talk. You have a very relaxing and entertaining way about you. Thank you so much for what you do it is greatly appreciated by me.

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much!

[@lizkolodziej9159]

Always good to hear your thought process..........please keep talking and letting us into how you expect of your painting, and how you hope to achieve it ....thanks Stuart!!

[@sandraborin4067]

Finalmente....attendevo con ansia un tuo nuovo video. Sempre molto bello e interessante. Grazie. Buona serata

[@daviddick9775]

Start to finish is fantastic. I'm also a fan of hearing your thoughts as you go.

[@florianahayes3548]

Just love watching you do your magic.

[@starforged]

Double thank you back. Fantastic painting.

[@michaeltoohill5392]

Yes... I agree.. Keep talking. For me, it's a mix of excellent information, guidance, friendliness, and not without some welcome relaxation therapy.

[@lauriestclair2322]

Just keep on keepin on. I love your talking while you paint it is full of information. I absolutely LOVE YOUR WORK!

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much!

[@ausomeaspie]

I saw a video of his last night, had no idea what his name was, typed in, artist paints landscape and he came up! I found him! I am so happy.

[@StuartDavies]

Me too! :-)

[@maxboonkittypoison]

I always watch the whole painting. But every now and then i take break from it and watch furder next time. Seeing you paint a painting is like a story. Once i hooked in to the story line of the painting i have to see the whole painting until the end. So no matter how long the video is, i'm watching it all the way but with a couple of breaks in between. I don't know how KZbin picks that up. But i always try and leave a comment. Because i am running addblocker. I don't want to see adds that are not relating to painting when i watch your video's. This painting looks amazing. And the picture is also worth framing. It is awesome. With the orange of the early sunrise. I love it.

[@jackiegarroutte8970]

Another beautiful painting Stuart...cant wait to see it when its finished!

[@donnaholland2893]

Absolutely want you to continue chattering away about what you are doing and what your thought process is as you paint.; that is very helpful!
