Extraordinary instruction. I could do his workshops all day.

[@Sky_TEC_Illustraition_Systems]

I went to art school. A private art school. The teachers lectures didn't go into half as much detail as you have, and I like the way you choose to utilize a color wheel to express, in conjunction, the reason for using a colors hue with strict attention paid to color theory. Your teaching style is one of the most comprehensive to be sure.

[@lindafrazier8092]

I agree!

[@ceneveutriendire]

Can you tell me what kind of art materials the man in this video is using? Is it oil paint, or something else

[@jaxmsw]

@@ceneveutriendire yes oil paint

[@ceneveutriendire]

@jaxmsw thank you for teaching me

[@ShayaArt]

I almost never leave comments on the videos I’ve watched, but feel I must for this one. Thank you for making such an enjoyable and educational tutorial. Your enthusiasm and technique are leave a great “impression”.

I’m watching this in 2023 and have watched countless videos learning about painting and color. This one is the best explanation with examples I have seen 😊 1000 likes to you and thank you for sharing your experience ❤

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Thank you, Lilith! Connie Simmons and I were happy to create these programs in connection with the National Gallery and are happy that they are still being viewed. Good luck with your painting! Best, Connie and David

[@lindafrazier8092]

I agree!

[@N_AJ]

How to draw like Monet mostly ends up to a hilarious painting, but here, it delivers in a beautiful way. THANK YOU.

[@robinaanstey3734]

"Show a feeling not a scene".... Love that David. As always your tutorials are very knowledgeable and thorough. Cheers!!

[@MasoodArtGallery]

Absolutely right. Really fantastic and outstanding!. #MasoodArtGallery

I first saw Monet at the RI School of Design Museum in Providence in the 60's. Would take the train to Boston Museum of Fine Arts which had even more and sit there for hours looking at them, trying to understand how Monet did it. Monet is the reason I became a painter and am still painting, in my 70's, and continually look to his images for guidance. I was working on a piece just today and took a quick look at one of the Haystack Series for help. His atmosphere and light qualities are untouched by anyone else. He was also incredibly prolific. One of my first heroes. Last year my son and I were at the Chicago Art Institute. We turned a corner and there was a room full of Monets. It was like coming home. Thank you for this video.

[@lindafrazier8092]

I visited Paris so many years ago and lost myself in the museums. Spent days in the Musee d'Orsay... in awe of this painter's work.

[@Lululemon2023]

The finest painting lesson I have have seen so far. Thank you!

[@sambright6856]

I like your examples and explanations of color theory. You are very likable and enthusiastic! Thank you for your work.

[@AlgisKemezys]

[@suefogwell8199]

Thank you for being so generous with your in-depth knowledge, the endless tips, and explaining why each step was done in a painting by the artist, etc. I'm looking forward to your online workshops in September!

[@cynthiagiven8258]

What a wonderful instruction of impressionism. I could learn how to do this I believe watching this over and over... wonderful teaching...

[@Sakura-zu4rz]

The style of Monets’ painting is fast and free and full of energy. It seems to show me the air of the garden with its sense of light, and I can imagine the dense smells of many flowers and plants Blooming into my life.

[@lindafrazier8092]

Yes and seeing his work in person takes your breath away!

[@tammyleeder1176]

Beautiful. You took me back in Time to the mind of Monet.

[@laurahedlund9441]

Youre not painting color, youre painting light - was an excellent piece of advice id recieved

[@CaptMurali]

So lucid so clear.. so touching.. the master Comes Alive.

[@retromodernism1799]

David Dunlop does a terrific job here of explaining how Monet created his magic, and turning out very cool work of his own.

[@Ziad3195]

I adore this video on so many levels. It became a comfort video for me.

[@JackRainfield]

David Dunlop really gives some great info on art techniques!

[@Bobasso]

Thanks for mentioning his name, appreciate it

[@JackRainfield]

@@Bobasso You're very welcome.

[@judithosei4511]

Your descriptions of Monet’s technique are really clear, thank you

[@fusion-music]

Outstanding work and teaching. I wondered if this was worth watching as it was so short and I can't believe you packed so much teaching into this.

[@sophikoart]

This was the best art class ever

[@yannkitson116]

I was surprised how the elements of your painting shifted my perception of the motif just to land me right back in the "real" world. I would have gone the wrong way about it completely, had I attempted this. Thank you for sharing.

[@mir4ge21]

Extraordinary teaching, thank you! Would you please give a lecture on color theory?

[@marinasnetkova473]

I suddenly saw water in the middle of the clip. You are magician! Thank you soo much!

[@emmarankin7545]

I too very much and enjoy how you explain things and how enthusiastic you are. Thank you for your love of art.

[@peterwilliamson4296]

I like your blend of passion and humility. I am just starting to paint and to understand impressionism so your presentation here has been a real bonus. Thank you so much.

[@juliajanssens8432]

EXCELLENT and INSPIRING: a real glimpse and insight into the spectrum of Monet's technique: I believe you have unravelled several facinating ideas which will enable painters to explore the depths of Monet's work. Please continue to share your views and excellent talent for painting and explaining. This is a wonderful insight. Thank you.

[@margaretsmith9637]

When I went to Monet’s garden, I was surprised how much the actual water lilies looked like his paintings.

[@AstarteIshtar]

J'aime le 'squinting' technique. Il est un grand exercise de minimiser la rive droit de notre cerveux. Bravo.

[@Engelhafen]

Beautiful work

[@User2754-s]

Very impressed with your short, but very educational videos! I started a pastiche on Road to Vetheuil, to see how he worked. It is very time consuming, the ready painting will take at least 24 working hours, and I don't count drying times. Adding dabs of color over and over give this richness of the canvas. He, of course, is extremely versed in colors, perspective and so forth, and no wonder, at Glayre he worked from 8 till 8. He was workaholic for many years. It is a well thought, meticulous process, building these canvases... Thanks once again! Migolette

[@kdarensb]

Wow! You packed so much information and excitement into short tutorial. Thoroughly informative and entertaining.

[@roohawkins7412]

"that's the universe, life out of chaos" damn you really took it there I appreciate it

[@DeadGuye1995]

These tips are actually extremely useful and high level, hopefully people actually remember them and comprehend it

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Thank you! My producer, director and editor Connie Simmons and I really appreciate that you watched the video and took the time to comment. We loved creating this and working with the NGA from our series Landscapes Through Time.! Kind regards, Connie and David

[@romanhorak5503]

Always learn lots from this gentleman and watching him paint is like watching poetry in motion

[@lisengel2498]

And this painting style allows a very dreamy, vibrational feeling of light dancing -

[@rckogut9373]

I love watching your process and hearing the wisdom of your teaching. Thank you!

[@oilpainterly]

Thank you! Your explanation of how Monet painted the Lillies makes a mountain of sense.. I enjoyed it thoroughly ! Keep teaching my friend.

[@ItsCCMTV]

At first I thought you were making nonsense paint, its amazing how the end product looks!

[@brianwolle2509]

YOU did a magnificent job of explaining the process... it's a state of mind you have to put yourself in and keep being inspired.

[@macavitymacavity126]

A real masterclass.

[@DoItYourselfIllinois]

I enjoyed this video so much. I spent last year painting impressionist landscapes in Chicago's parks, and using Monet's techniques in mind helped me create some beautiful pieces.

[@shelaghfairbank4621]

This was so enjoyable to watch and great information on how to paint Monet style. Thank you.

Lovely information and description. I wish I had done more art when I was young. I am going to it now. Thank you.

Thanks for these valuable insights into the exactly technique of Monet. Short and sweet with a painting that makes it complete.

Great painter and teacher.

Lovely narrative on painting visual sensations inspired from Monet and very clear example

[@victoriaguzyliz5329]

Sus pinturas transmitían Paz, que bien juega usted con los colores, se aprende rápido con esas técnicas, con dos pinceladas se pasa d un motivo a otro hermoso

[@benreymamou]

U r a genius with colors and I love your technique

[@justindahlstrom6677]

This opened my eyes wide as a painter!

[@lululuna1224]

What a incredibly magical, beautiful place. How lucky for you that you could paint there. Monet is one of my favorite painters from way back then in fact at this moment and for the last 30 years are 3 Monet paintings hanging in my bedroom, one of which is the pond expression. Van Gogh is also a favorite, I just really love these types of paintings. ☮️🙏💜 Had to come back in to say thanks and you are very knowledgeable and talented.

[@FocusAranjuez]

We (all the family) liked your video very much, thank you! Greetings from Madrid!

[@gterbug]

Wow I did not expect to understand the concept of impressionism the first timd I hear it but I did! Thank you!

[@cindyenglert.az51]

Love the way you explained the brush strokes. Thank you!

[@artistglyn]

I have been to Giverny several times and his house and garden are stunning. I'm planning on painting this view from a series of pictures I took while there. Your video has been very helpful in my thought process. Very well described. You really know what you are talking about.

[@robhead22]

Excellent!! What an inspirational treat !! Thank you!

[@MariaGuiaInterprete-l1k]

Thank you so much! Very interesting and useful.

[@richardcane3597]

Some good instruction on colour theory and colour interaction as well as some brush techniques.

[@kaleidoscope8743]

Larger to smaller and closer together (both horizontally & vertically) gives the sense of 3D perspective. As the object shrinks, so does the space around it and the detail also lessens (which you can understand by squinting).

[@montanacrosses]

That was so good! I just saw Mobet the Late Years at the Kimbell in Ft. Worth. I saw the painting you yoy showed a slide of. The use of horizontal and vertical brushwork and deliberate circles for the lilies...well it was so Beautiful you could tear up. You really captured so much of what moved me! Good Job!

[@deborahhoy2187]

Excellent video. I am just starting to learn to paint in this style and I learned a lot!! Thank you. Have you created any more video’s like this one?

[@guessgirlshelley]

Gorgeous!

[@LynnePriceStudio]

Some hints for my fellow painters. Gamblin makes a resin-based oil paint; it is an alkyd and line is called FastMatte. It dries in about 18 hours unless you have heavy impasto. In that case, give it an extra day.

[@DhritishreeBhuyan]

So gorgeous painting. Loved to visit your channel. A new friend here.

[@substancep21]

I like this guy, all the best!
