the quality of your videos, sir.. best of the best!

[@jeffrlasley]

Always impressed with your ability to work in such distracting locations.

[@rmbroadwell]

Yes!!!

[@NATA5II]

A street isn't really distracting tho is it?

[@jeffrlasley]

@@NATA5II It would be to me.Especially if I were painting.

[@chriswhitehouse8982]

You‘re really spoiling us lately Mr. G! 18 minutes of nicely edited insight into your craft topped with this beautiful piece. Thank you once again!

[@samhardy2340]

I rarely comment on videos, but I have to say your content is dramatically improving and even from the start it was good content. The way your videos are formatted are perfect and it’s just hypnotic to watch, Bravo

[@eybietie]

one of the best artists on youtube currently.

[@todddawson4489]

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! 18 minutes of James Gurney in action! Love it! And love all the info/explanations throughout. And the painting is fabulous!

[@anetajohnson8446]

Hes always a great inspiration to me, as a budding artist.Hes the master teacher!. Its like getting lessons from Norman Rockwell!.

[@randyhospodar8864]

These are by far the most thoughtful videos on KZbin. Exceptionally entertaining, and masterfully executed.

[@tschuhster]

So, so clever in all ways. James Gurney is the master.

[@lukehanley5392]

Your control of the value and colour shift in gouache is enviable.

When you're driving one of these cars you're not just driving the car, you're driving the dream behind the car. Loved that quote... And when you're not driving one of these cars you're living the fear behind one of these cars... Too many of us are not living our dreams because we're living our fears... Always love to see other artists in action. Great video.

[@luisvillarroel3543]

I genuinely acquired a huge interest on learning to draw/paint the moment I first saw one of your videos, It was almost instantanous. I can only thank you for creating some of the most inspiring content I've ever seen, to the point that if I ever manage to become a somewhat competent artist I'll be damn sure it was you who began that change in my life.

[@quicktastic]

Even more impressive is doing that painting with the setting sun in your eyes.

[@chrisbolton7123]

You are such a genius man. Love your techniques and materials and subjects. I am so inspired. I am a 67 year old, hard to impress brit and you so impress. Thanks also for your hard work and endless videos and comments which inspire young and old. Much respect!

[@MrKafein]

I'm not fond of cars, but one has to be able to draw anything and every one of your videos is a real delight.

[@Angie_flores]

This is sooo good, i always go back to your old videos, so pleasing to watch 😮

[@nighthawksblues3081]

Thank you so much for your videos, I really enjoy them!

[@NATA5II]

I really enjoy when you try to introduce new "tricks" into your editing/filming process. Whatever format you decided on for this video is really doing it for me. I appreciate you putting in just as much time in your presentation/documentation as you do with your art.

[@mkingamess7029]

I love seeing you paint and explain what you do, because it's enjoyable and also because smoetimes you do soemthing that just looks RIGHT and then you mention it in a word or two why you do it (like the raised values, the warmth of the side mirror etc., next to the flare) and my brain just goes BOOM! Realizing rather obvious visual correlations like this makes me feel stupid, but atleast I'm learning, lol :)

[@pablobarrios7681]

How you improve your quality with each video Is so amazing Mr Gurney! Been following you for 3 years and seeing how you try the most to show your paintings in interesting ways Is so inspiring. Thanks for teaching me so much through these videos!

[@davidgeister]

James , this is wonderful!

[@kaywitt8008]

I love this James!!

[@havefundrawing]

Love the Q&As and great questions you picked. Those were the questions I've had about your gouache for a long time.

[@rmbroadwell]

Thanks so much! I own several of your books and these videos are such a helpful accompaniment!

[@MusesuddenlycomesArt]

Beautiful!!! It's a watercolor, and different parts have been given very fine detail, and others painted broadly and expressively.

[@DAVIDPETERS12C]

James, I agree with the the 3.2K people who gave you a thumbs up (01/15/20) and don't understand the 24 who went the other way. Those who paint with light, as you do. bring so much more to their art, elevating the mundane (in this case a car) to something sublime and frankly, delicious in its own way.

[@jamesbutler5995]

Your water color paintings are so amazing realistic I really enjoy watching your videos!!

[@brads4625]

Your killing me...love it!

[@frsumrith]

the lens flare with the nupastel is great idea at 16:50 Thanks for your videos

[@telldpablo]

I think this is one of my favourite videos you’ve produced! The extended length is very helpful. It gives so much more information even with the speeded up sections. I’m really learning a lot from both the imagery and the commentary. Thanks for this extended format, please keep it up!

[@ginafriend1690]

Great tutorial which makes so much sense as you describe it. I wish I knew how to dab, light handedly sketch paint in this fashion. I'm so very detailed, and dont know how to change it. Not that I dont like my own, but would love to learn this process! I'll just keep watching, and maybe one day!

[@alonsorojas3829]

It's always a pleasure watch you paint. I appreciate the innovation, like answering questions, the camera shots, the green screen... thanks James.

[@aitoralvarez]

Mr.Gurney is mastery. Thank you!

[@carolynmccully6712]

What a gorgeous piece! Really glad you mentioned the motion blurr, for something that is "fantasy" it is good to have real world elements to make it more authentic! I would not have even considered it but the effect is magical as is the soft lens flare at the end there.

Really impressive painting. You’re right about depth of field and motion blur effects. It makes a great difference in visual perception. Oh, and I loved the chalk trick, it looks like a lense flare indeed. Congrats for this amazing piece. I enjoy your videos so much. Cheers from sunny Spain 🇪🇸 👍🏻

[@woodzy3840]

Another fantastic video James! Thanks so much. Every time I watch one of your videos I get a new idea, learn a new technique or how to solve a problem I've been having. My big takeaway this time around was your grid system. I was just in the woods last night wishing I had something like that. By the time I got to laying down the details with the gouache it was so dark under the forest canopy I could hardly see what I was doing. Wasted too much time sketching. Going to have to build one of those grids. Thanks again James. Best wishes.

[@calebness_fineart]

You should next attend a local Hot Rod show and paint some of those! You’d get a lot of attention, that’d be interesting also! Keep up the excellent work man! Love your videos!

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Looks way beyond oil painting

[@johncollado1151]

Morning James.... very nice, you'd think the car dealership would barter a lower price on a vehicle for a nice painting by you. It would probably be an investment for them! I enjoy your paintings very much and have learned a lot about Gouache from you. I mainly used Gouache in the past for just highlights in my airbrush paintings, but have since considered using it in more detail from start to finish. Thanks again.
