THANKS FOR WATCHING!

[@jbiss1966]

It's good to see the detail at normal speed. I have used your techniques with limited success for years, but it is only recently that I have realised that a careful, patient hand where every brush stroke is carefully thought out, ,is what is needed.

[@maedekelaye]

You are really great and unique because you work very professionally and excellently. I am very happy to know your channel. I enjoyed watching your work. I hope you will always shine.❣️💫🎨🌿🫂💗

[@dahrommuhammad9054]

perfected.. i like it🎉

[@MrNyuntshwe]

You are a brilliant teacher who teaches with a true teacher's heart. I'm a hand to mouth guy from a poor country and cannot afford to take online lesson of painting, but your teaching helps me a lot. I'm 78 years old and not aiming to become a pro, but to fulfil my childhood dream and to enjoy my remaining years among my family members, friends and peoples who love arts and paintings all over the world. I feel you haven't hide anything and giving all valuable technics to us. I wish you more and more success, a good health, peace, and happiness to share with your loving family!! Thank you so much for your contribution!!

[@jubileej1629]

Your message is so beautiful. Bless you and your pure heart ❤

[@DanSmith-cb5vj]

You've heard/read it all of how good you are. Praise GOD for the talent you are blest with.

[@jaclynmwvasquez]

There! That's what I wanted to see, closeup, how you portrayed different tree species in a crowded forest. I'm genuinely ecstatic! Appreciate the sharing! ❤️🤠

[@hadelshamma519]

Breathtaking as always! Would be great to see a video of the water reflections of this painting

[@user-om9jz4gw7z]

Sometimes I forget, but you’re the best reference.

[@KassiusFineArt]

Always amazing. My favorite living artist. ❤ Would like to hear of the colors you are using each time.

[@Artist_Crafter]

Thank you very much!

[@teresatsamis3221]

Beautiful.

[@franciscaviani786]

Michael, you still are the best! The Mozart of oil painting. Have a drink on me.

[@ilanarts]

Wow....always amazing

[@1x1pixelstudio]

Wonderful work as always. Your acrylic portraits are the best I've seen. Thank you, sir, for inspiring us to improve our own paintings

[@MaxMustermann-xq6ob]

The blocking-in is in acrylic, the details are in oil ;-)

[@Jenny-five]

the practice, the steady hand, the patience, it's MAGIC!

[@user-lr7cd8vn8p]

[@suecondon1685]

Wonderful skill and patience! Hi from Southend 😉 Love this, thank you. 🌳

[@markchannel1058]

Love your painting a lot

[@SiriusV23]

sir you are amazing and inspiring teacher

[@marciahorton2203]

Thank you, thank you so much for taking away from your valuable time to show us in such detail how to paint this. When I see leaves on trees or bushes now I find myself seeing them painted in your style (wow, it's a lot of leaves) but now it looks like a tree or bush. Patience will be needed to accomplish this and practice for the color placement and shape placement. But what a fantastic journey it will be. I would like to see early spring scene. It is such a colorful time of year as the branches change colors and the trees flower and leaves sprout. Have a great day and have fun painting as well. From Southeast Michigan :)

[@giovannifurnari8668]

So practical and brilliant James as usual. I have been following your teaching for years and it’s helped me tremendously 💯

[@aleksandarstanisic1848]

[@user-un2zj4ep1t]

I'm curious; what is the surface you're painting on?

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

Linen canvas

[@gopinathannottath]

Hey micheal, when you paint an area with darker colours later then ehy you make it in lighter colours initially, I don't understand it. You are a great magician to express yourself in a beautiful manner, which reflects on your paintings in colours, I am a great fan of u micheal. I want to meet you in Sept 23 I will be in texas, can I?

[@dahriyasrentjegi1165]

Luar biasa

[@mariadidenko7535]

[@lisamoseley5174]

I work with acrylic and watercolor and have thought about oil but I don’t know about the orders and how you dispose of the chemicals you have to use to clean your brushes?

[@QuangNguyen-uh3yu]

[@squashum778]

Painting each individual leaf mmm , surely not, isn’t there better much faster ways that give a great effect BUT by seeing by standing back a bit .

[@QuangNguyen-uh3yu]

tôi hy vọng sẽ có phụ đề tiếng việt

[@juergins]

😀😃😄👍👍👍👌
