Beautiful Richard, the way you capture light and movement in your works always grabs me, as always inspiring. Well done.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Thank you so much 😀

Горы и птицы получились очень удачно! Поразительная природа на видео. Снимайте больше, это очень интересно. Вам можно только позавидовать наблюдать все это живьем ❤

[@wolfgangallescher4801]

Richard, thank you for being one of the most inspiring persons in the field of painting. I am moved by your completely non-arrogant approach to whatever you do as a painter, explorer and exciting presenter of your wonderful country. You probably can't imagine how much you and your amazing art enhances the life of people in the whole world who thoroughly enjoy the evolution of almost supernatural beauty through your artistic vision and seemingly unfailing knives. Keep doing what you are best at. Danke und schöne Weihnachten, dear friend.

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Hey Wolfgang, thanks! I really appreciate your positive and fantastic feedback!!! :-)

[@constancearnold9367]

Perfectly and beautifully put Wolfgang! I feel exactly the same. So much appreciation to Richard!

[@CosMosArtistry2016]

Gidday Richard, you have caught the iconic coastal scene beautifully with minimal strokes and restrained abandon. Geez those birds are a key note for sure as they are in real life. This paint captures the Richard Musgrave-Evans philosophy, may I even say soul? Simplicity with well set highlights to enhance and delight. Another masterpiece my friend. Cheers, Rich

Hey nice comments, rich thanks mate!!! :-)

Richard mega mega mistrz 👍🤗🥰😘😘🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@christianetanzler4611]

And another THANK YOU from Germany. This is the most inspiring and relaxing lesson one could ever have. You are dancing your marks at the canvas and it is a pleasure to see your beautiful landscapes melt into the picture, like a reflection in a juwel - just pure beauty and breath of nature. It´s hard to get german thoughts into right english words. I´m sure, you´ll get it... You lighten the dark and depressed german december. That means a lot!

Ричард, великолепная съёмка местности! Впечатление, как будто это край вашего света, который переходит в границу к Южному полюсу)) Работа, как всегда, великолепна! В этот раз минимум растительности и зрелищная картина во всех ваших утончённых тонах. Очень воздушно, зеркальное спокойствие воды и чайки в оживляющих акцентах 👍🤩👏 И я соглашусь с Вольфгангом, что вы улучшаете жизнь людей на планете 🙏

I can almost smell the water and hear the birds, another great painting! Absolutely enjoyed every minute, so much good stuff! You also gave me the key to the birds, not overworking details seems the way to go, thank you!!!

[@coramuller6065]

Good day Richard, here we have another beautiful masterpiece from your agile left hand. I love the beautiful blue of the sky and water, interrupted by the sand dunes, which don't look monotonous at all because you give them shape by skillful colouring. And, Master Richard, you have painted some truly exquisite birds, seagulls, and a pelican making its rounds ! Superb ! There are quite some painters around who do photorealism. Please, stay with your technique, your paintings are outstanding. - I think I've mentioned the music before, perfectly fitting your energy. And I thank you also for the video sequences from your trip, I like them. - Blessings, Richard, and the warmest greetings from cold Germany into summertime Australia. 💗

Hello Richard. A lot of softness and tranquility in this landscape and you have transcribed it well in your painting. A few stroked of the palette knife and here appear pelicans, seagulls and other birds: it's fabulous as usual ! Thank you very much and Merry Christmas to you and your family

Wonderful! Cheers :-)

[@Tritamus]

What great hand eye coordination you have there OBP in using the palette knife to paint in those tight open spaces. I'd be too scared to use the palette knife in those situations in fear of creating a disaster.

[@hazelcoate9203]

Wow this one is fabulous,. I love your river/seascapes, unique style you have, great advice too! , I make my own canvas panels, I glue the canvas to panels, I like the canvas tooth and the hard panels for painting on 🖌️🎨👍, also I glue a 40mmx10mm frame on the back For mounting on the wall and paint the sides , they can also be framed if wanted,. I paint mostly 16 inch x 20 inch paintings,.

Richard Iam a fan of your painting travels here in the USA and would like to see on a map to where some of these places are ? Thanks

[@petersenesac8102]

Richard, I know I'm a little late to the party but this is a question I have on a lot of the videos. You probably have a good reason but I would really like to see what your reference is. I love all the cut aways to the location but what is the actual picture you look at while painting.? I think it would help us understand why you are putting the marks and colors and how you build the composition. Thanks for all the great videos!

Another great one! Had us fooled on the blue today! How do you decide between Ultramarine and Cobalt?

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Thanks Brian! I just make it up as I go! I could have gone Ultramarine, which is a red blue, but then I would have to also go Pthalo for the green blues! Cheers:-)
