Always love your videos. Inspiring for me to get back in the studio. I was trying to keep track of all the birds singing in the background. Most popular was the Western Tanager and Western Wood Pewee. I also heard a Townsend Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Dark-eyed Junco, Spotted Sandpiper, Mountain Chickadee, Hammonds Flycatcher and a Cordilleran Flycatcher. Lots of birds singing at your camping spot. Take care!

[@suzanneroberts8784]

So Enjoy watching your painting videos. I really like the freedom you use with the paint. Your work looks fresh and exciting. Keep up the great work.

Greetings from England! Just discovered a few of your posts and it is a delight to find an artist who is not obsessed in trying to paint a subject as if they were a photographer! So many offerings on YT assert that the only way a painting can be real is that it should mimic a photo and so often lose all vitality. What we tend to find is a flat and uninteresting surface when one needs to have some sense of the spirit of the place or object. It is a bit like squeezing the juice out of grapes and then not going on to ferment wine or distill brandy! I am a bit more controlled in my painting but occasionally let rip and i admire you for the courage of your convictions and execution! You children may like this quotation: The Velveteen Rabbit Quotes Showing 1-27 of 27 “Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.' 'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit. 'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.' 'Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?' 'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.” ― Margery Williams Bianco, The Velveteen Rabbit

So I've watched a few of your videos now. I mostly paint in watercolor. When I first started watching, I honestly didn't think it was coming out very good. Part of that I think was you were zoomed in more so you couldn't see the entire piece much and you paint pretty large pieces. So I kept waiting to see how are you going to finish this and then suddenly you were done and all of the sudden you step back a bit and see the entire work and man, it really comes together. Fascinating to watch the way you paint. It seems so loose and rough but it all comes together. Thank you for sharing. Great stuff!

[@mylesd4839]

Im not sure if you ever thought about it but some artist in the future is going to credit you as inspiration for their style of painting. especially since there is documentation of you creating. Keep up the good work, I am inspired

[@1974gladiateur]

You are a funny number

[@jarrod4115]

Turner Vinson is currently my 1 fav artist ever

[@cathyphegley7414]

Your children look like you! What a great spot to paint! Looks like little bird is already an artist herself😊

[@turnervinson]

It was great spot, and both kids are quite good artists!

[@elbajimenez6519]

I love that you and your beautiful family all are creating together and enjoying nature together!😀

[@theeaselrider4032]

I love kids art. It's always very honest, they only paint what they feel and don't try to do anything else. But as adults we tend to get away from that. We could learn from the little ones I think.

[@peterwillems8721]

I think so too ! I am even100 % sure of this, Sooooo right

[@koreanature]

Wow, that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

[@fionadent7800]

Particularly liked your early morning painting on this vid. Thought I could sense your pleasure in such a lovely subject. Love your painting

[@rockyh9630]

Finally...like a Twisted Sister song, The Kids Are BACK!? Those little ones need their own spin off KZbin channel 🤣. Yeah, you paint well and that's great.... But being a patient, kind father.. which you seem to be, is where you should have pride in yourself. It is a much bigger deal🤘🙏🙏🙏.

[@GoreTheSummoner]

[@hazelcoate9203]

[@fionadent7800]

Loved the brush strokes on the water of the lake. Not what I was expecting but they worked so well! Such a shame I cant do your course with you, I am learning so much from your vids.

[@muhammadhashmi4156]

Free style with colors . vertical pouring

[@Jonas_vasi]

Amazing ! ☺️🤗🙃

[@yankeedoodledandeefirecrac7518]

Have you ever really worked w a Pallet knife set? I think you'd be fantastic at that technique!!! LOVE to see you work w a large pallet knif set

[@rtk3543]

The painting of the view across the lake was my favourite. Turner do you think your art is developing in a particular way, you seem very confident with your present style, difficult to answer I know but just curious to know how you feel about your art.

[@meredithboswell4003]

So beautiful clever little girl

[@user-gp5sk9dl9n]

Very good.

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Nice !

Your son is right - a cool gutsy painting :-)

[@catherinemayes5249]

Hi Turner it me again Cat, I wanted to know what kind of easel you use in your videos. All the one I see have the supply box in the back, I think it being in the front is great. Do you know where I can get one and the name. Thank you again cat

[@mariaangelafernandez2577]

Que bonito, me gustaría saber si es acrílico o óleo? Gracias👏👏

[@petercroce8051]

Hello maestro, how do you choose the right stroke? I mean , that thin and that bigger. Thank you

[@maggiemae6867]

So beautiful!! How do you get your paintings home?? I'd end up messing them up.

[@robertbrode5054]

Nice paint slingin' Tom! Did you paint the last one from your dove gray canoe on Algonquin Lake?

[@peterwillems8721]

19:00 What you're painting here looks like Japanese calligraphy Banzai !

[@MegadoseTheOutsiderArtist]

I LOVE when your kids are around and give you advice! Heehee...so sweet! Are you sad that your daughter's painting was better then yours? 😜

[@peterwillems8721]

Well well well . That remark was not so diplomatic: let's say this was ALL very ... fruitfull and promising for the future. 😎 and smile 😊

[@MegadoseTheOutsiderArtist]

@@peterwillems8721 Turner Vinson is my favorite painter. He knows i was kidding around...you know that too-right? I couldn't figure out what your comment meant...😆😬

[@peterwillems8721]

@@MegadoseTheOutsiderArtist Ok, no problems What I meant ? Well, the words 'better painting' were a problem first. But now that you say TV is your fav painter (by the way: mine too) ... misunderstanding ... okay ? (and ... by the way ... I simply love, admire and adore children's drawings ánd the way TV interacts with his kids in his videos)

[@MegadoseTheOutsiderArtist]

@@peterwillems8721 Oh my! I am assuming TV knew i was kidding around or at least making his daughter feel great about her painting....I am thinking that it wasn't clear now!?? Oh! Well i think he knew cuz I'm a member(or whatever you call it)and I'm trying to buy one of his paintings. 😆...yea he knew i was kidding. 😳😳😬😬😬

[@franciscopenaarts3845]

Nice

[@nickstruble4456]

I really like your impasto work. It's amazing! Do you use paint thinner with oils or do you use water-soluble oils and use water?

[@turnervinson]

Thanks, Nick. I’m just using thinner with oils.

[@meredithboswell4003]

Good children
