Love your videos Stuart. My Dad (who was a pretty good artist himself, especially with pastels) loved you too, but then he was a huge fan of Turner (and Constable when he let himself go!). We watched your videos often and intended to visit you in France for some tuition, but then Covid hit, and then my old fella passed away. He'd have loved this. Best wishes to you.

[@Garden366]

God bless you during your surgery and I pray it goes well. Thank you for your demonstration! I love it! ❤

[@flooklh]

Good evening from South Africa. It's great to see you again Stuart. I love your paintings.

[@ashley461205]

I love the white buildings in the far distance, on the left of the trees. :-)

[@kristijan5580]

Your style of painting radiates freedom with every brush stoke you do. I feel like i have no pressure while painting along. Amazing work!

[@bush357]

I’m fascinated with landscapes now..ty ! Beautiful as always

[@danfreisting2874]

Great video and discussion!

[@jbtownsend9535]

Thank you Stuart for doing these. Hope all is well and you can avoid future puddlry

[@tanyamaxfield1261]

Truly beautiful! I am so grateful for your instructive videos.

[@clydeletreta6325]

Excellent, Sir Stuart, praying for a successful heart procedure for sure! Always, Aloha to you and the wifey!❤🤙

[@ritabongiorno1770]

Beautiful painting as always i learn and learned a lot love all your videos thank you Stuart!

[@pmurray8065]

Thank you for talking us through your adventures in painting. This one would be strikingly inviting to the viewer to "walk" beyond the trees if there were a very thin line of water to the left of the trees, broken by the little rise in the middle ground there; only two short, very thin water lines back there where the little bit of white lives. Just for fun.

[@EdnaCloud]

Learned a llot, thank you Sttuart

[@legarage6439]

The master at work! Love the spontaneity and playful approach. Very inspiring as always, thank you Stuart Davies

[@WenchePedersen-s8g]

Thank you so much, lots of love from Norway ❤

[@Mintychops]

Thankyou for your videos, I paint with acrylic but I have learned a lot from you and I love how a few strokes make such dramatic effects. Good luck with your surgery and your healing 🙏

[@Ron-pu5tq]

Hi Stewart, You are a true magician the way you paint your wonderful paintings. Best of luck with all your endeavors.

[@amigopiojo11]

I love stormy landscapes! Thank you Stuart!!!

[@RussellMarett]

Hi Stuart I would to say how much I enjoy your channel and the style of your work . Not to mention relaxing to watch. Could watch all day long. Keep up the good work sir.

[@CarlottaART]

Beautiful painting Stuart! Love your work and all you do for the art community 😊

[@flooklh]

Thank you. It's awesome. Love it. Want to walk there.

[@lilly1761]

Beautiful! I love your teaching style and sense of humor. I'm going to try to paint this one.

[@neilbrucker5985]

Thanks alot for the time and entertainment Sir Davies.

[@janerayner6375]

Another wonderful painting with some great tips along the way. I have wall space at the bottom of a staircase where I could imagine that hanging.

[@trent5555]

Very relaxing and entertaining and as always I learned something. Thanks!!

[@sharonarber9494]

Hi Stuart . You’ve inspired me to try out using large brushes. You make it look so easy! I do know that’s because you’re so good at what you do. Im really enjoying your videos and your chats make me smile. Keep it up! P.s. I use a non toxic medium called oleogel. It’s a little pricey but it helps the paint dry quicker

[@shirleyclark8676]

Thank you for all you share with us! I am obsessed with your style! Love listening to your talks while painting. Wishing you well with your heart!

[@oscarparedes5308]

Very inspiring.

[@francesdevine8536]

Stuart you are amazing 😊

[@Paul-su3qh]

Hello again Stuart, I just came across your video, from about two months ago. I really love this sky, very dramatic, according to your usual style of working. I could not help noticing that you were having to hold your board to stop it wobbling as you paint near the top edge. Some time ago I bought a new type of easel that had a similar problem of wobbling. I decided to add a flat piece of wood approximately two feet in length by about half an inch thick and about two to three inches deep. Having removed the top sliding catch that stops the board or canvas from falling. I added the slat of wood to the easel so that it lay across the upright section. Having foundvthe centre, I drilled a hole wide enough to bolt the top sliding stop to the wooden slat and onto the block at the back, which then allowed me to slide the attached slat up and down abd secured with a long bolt through the back of the slider and through the slat then through the stop piece and tightened everything together using a wing nut to secure everything to the easel so that I could move the slat up and down as normal allowing me to trap a canvas or a board resting onto the slat and held in place by the stop. The slat is sufficiently long enough to support the back of the canvas or board and prevent wobbly. It works well with any size canvas. Means I no longer have to steady things with my left hand. The added slat can also be used to secure a canvas by applying a little pressure from the top downwards and making the slot as a second stop. When attaching the original small stop to the slat, ensure the top edge is sligned with the top edge of the slat so that one ends up with a certain depth on the slat to rest your chosen surface on so as to prevent wobbling. Hope these detalails make sense. It takes about half an hour to make these adjustments but itbiscwell worth the effort. Now for your painting, you are the master and I love the whole scene. Brilliantly created. ❤😅😊 as always Stuart, I wish you well. Paul.

[@steve1to10]

Wonderful! As ever, an enthralling, instructional video and with a very worthwhile result. Well done, Stuart!

[@dshepherd107]

Ty!!

[@reallylame569]

Love the simplicity, something I will be trying myself in the near future. As always, thanks for sharing, can't wait for the next one!

[@vascocordeiro4512]

Tank you sir Stuart for share your gifts.

[@arunkumarmaity4489]

Your proses is very nice, thanks

[@johnloyd3996]

Hi Stuart, i haven't seen you on here for a while, I think youtube had changed somthing. Anyway, i noticed more of your videos. I hope you are well and feeling better. I look foward to watching this video. All the best from the U.K :-)

[@BazzSelby]

Nice one, Stu.

[@carolgivati7372]

Magical simplicity as always, Stuart. Mood and drama, your trademarks, supplemented by your humour. 😂. Only one thing I waa waiting for, you said you were going to add some palette knifing to your clouds at the end but I didnt see that. Maybe I missed ir? Could be, my cat always interrupts my viewing, she doesnt like me looking at a screen and ignoring her! 🐈‍⬛ miaaw, miaaw. Good luck with your heart.. take care.

I love your videos. I can't imagine why people make such nasty remarks.They obviously hurt you, but everyone with a vlog gets these losers sniping at them. I love the way you talk us through the process with such a sense of humour. Painting is hard work, especially if it is the way one earns a living. I watch you and I am inspired, thank you. Thanks for the tips about paper, I have been doing that on a painting I am working on at the moment, but I am going to work more 'loosely' -a la Stuart- on a future one. One day I will see you in France, but a very sick husband has rather put paid to our trips for the moment..we have a house in The Limousin .

[@ForgottenCoast850]

I enjoy your painting style! I wonder what kind of oil you are using to thin the paint?

[@debrapiripi1470]

Lol what takes you an hour takes me a couple of days or more, will try this though still having troubles with composition and the simplicity intrigues me.

[@lynnbarker1019]

Do you ever do ala prima on your canvas’?

[@StuartDavies]

This is ala prima.

[@poetryjones7946]

Lol, don't tell people that, they will skip to it and miss the good stuff!

[@poetryjones7946]

@@StuartDavies you’re right, my bad! 😹 Stuart, I love your channel so much. Sometimes I listen to you just to feel better. 🌹

[@carolsheargold8699]

Do you use thin to thick paint to build up your paintings?

[@StuartDavies]

Yes, but sometimes they stay thin!

[@neelsnprayer]

PLEASE move your camera to the right then you won't be in front of the camera. I LOVE watching you paint.

What are cat years? I’ve heard of dog years, but not cat years. And I’ve got a cat.

[@StuartDavies]

Check the internet. It will explain better than me :-)

[@JV44HeinzBar]

Very nice. It still amazes me to watch you paint. I think I've watched all your videos with each one having a pearl of wisdom.

[@martinm3474]

I deeply enjoy your work, that being said. Remember I hail from the High Plains of Colorado. Where it is mostly dusty brown and the skies are not cloudy all day. At times I can imagine what clouds and mud puddles would look like these. Currently in Kansas City, we aren't having clouds so much yet a simple blanket of grey...payne's grey maybe.

[@jasonhommas1775]

I watched a ton of these long videos, some more than once, while working on a graphic novel in 2022. It was over a year of work, every evening after my day job, and your matter of factness, confidence in craft, and deliberate looseness really helped me get it done. And since I sometimes worry that my work might end up having a brief lifespan, it’s nice to think how an artist’s work can influence people in many different ways other than how they might expect

[@chrissy1310]

Hello from Vermont USA OH GUESS WHAT!? no paynes grey at Michaels art store in USA. I was dying to see it! I'll find it!

[@claireryan8074]

Thank you. I have never been able to do credible landscapes before this.

[@randysmith1723]

I really liked the sky, with the tone of blue and just enough drama. Clump trees looked great also. Hope your procedure goes well, and you get your strength back ASAP… Thanks Stuart!

[@garnetmclearyprice8896]

The masters fairly fellow stroke Richard Dadd

[@patsyeckert9822]

Really like the result of this painting! Good luck with your heart procedure from Montana, USA👍🙂

[@murphydupler4282]

The art is in your process, but I really like some of your "artful" metaphors. "Slightly less than boring." or "Like pushing custard up a drain pipe" which I haven't tried but I "can imagine". Good linguistic gymnastics in your presentations!

[@valuton]

50:18 amezing to watch how you just move the paint around and wobbel!! It looks so easy but it's hard to master it.I'm from the north of Holland and love in the futore to come over and have some lessons.First you have to take care off youre healt and get better. But I'm a new fan and realy do love your work! Tomorrow i will practice again....and again.. Thanks a lot and exuse me for my english😅❤

[@NickRatto]

In a vision of I don’t know what, I’m Doing, as you say .your explanation of life n Time , seems to be explained well in voice n action of your casual toss of hand n mind, this Spoken Word, this expression of Paint n oil ,is so damn good n very intriguing to each that we your friends afar can never actually get enough of You to be satisfied , but please be well n keep painting n speaking of these visions in your eyes , thank You , Stuart n Tiger Lilly 💦

[@kathycarlson7947]

I learned so much. Now, the screw up the courage to tackle an image without looking at a reference!! Thanks for what you do. Sending you all the best for the heart procedure.

[@108bonsai]

Thank you very much indeed. Enjoyed moving the golden spot to off center left. Something different.

[@childofvenus3781]

You accidently created amazing looking mountains far in the distance (right side of the painting) and don't even know it.

[@carolsheargold8699]

Love your dramatic skies I love stormy skies. They have more of an interest and intrigue.

[@patgraney1361]

How I love watching you develop a painting. Hope your heart treatment goes well.

Simply stunning and organic. Thank you Stuart, muchly appreciated.

As usual very enjoyable and educational. It might be fun sometime to see what didn't work and maybe explain why. Love the cat.

Great painting! Love the trees, clouds, the water, and the light placement on the field to the right.
