Teaching Clouds and Perspective - With Stuart Davies

[@MarcDimmick]

The video turned out well. I really enjoyed my time with you over the two days and got some great insights. I am working on more ideas for my next painting when I get home. Arrived in Paris and have been to see the Musee D’Orsay and taken hundreds of pictures, tomorrow I hit the Louvre for the day.

[@StuartDavies]

Thanks, Marc! It was a pleasure to meet you. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

The contrast between light blue sky and the dark cloud on top is perfect. It came out perfect for a source of light from behind the dark cloud.

Thank you once again for sharing another lesson.

[@DeborahHamilton-q1w]

Incredible, as always, Stuart! It never fails to amaze me, how the tiniest change can make such a big difference. Awesome sky AND salad!

[@douglasalan5783]

Fantastic tutorial, Stuart, possibly your best demonstration of painting a sky. I also love the semi-abstract approach to painting the salad 😍

[@TheWeedShark]

Great video as always. Always a higlight of the day when you put up new videos.

Loved hearing the brush on the board! Made it a somehow more immersive viewing experience ❤

[@stephenjames4250]

Simply amazing! The sky is so effective and together with the landscape, fantastic 👏👏

[@Sandy-k8e]

Beautiful painting. Thank you.

[@SPSP-vc3bi]

Loved this. Thank you Stuart! Looking forward to part 2. 🎨

[@trevormilner455]

Amazing as usual Stuart. Great video.

[@pimoptland5972]

I enjoyed the video again. It is fascinating to see the sky being 🧐

[@NMGH]

I really appreciated your comments about what you were thinking were you going to do and how you envisioned the light. I really felt that I was understanding your thought process in this video. I also laughed out loud at a number of your jokes! Thank you so much for these videos! I hope your student has had a profitable time with you.

[@MarthaHenson-zp1kw]

I started watching at night but your mellow voice put me to sleep, I woke up and there was a beautiful painting. I will have to watch again during the daytime. Thank you for sharing.

[@christinefollowerofchrist1532]

I love your humor lol makes me not want to take myself too seriously

[@sharonmiller2940]

Fantastic! The sky part was a revelation. It all came together when you softened with your wispy glances. Thank you for the great class! Can't wait for part 2!

[@Jeff-si2fw]

Awesome!

[@julesvis]

I love the distance you have achieved in this gorgeous work. Dreamy .

[@black-and-light]

[@lemuelllewellyn9238]

Love your videos

[@massidew5654]

Actually,i really like when you say"oh,that's interesting"..really great lesson,and amazing painting

[@susantorbohn6614]

I want to see it after glazing. Also would love a glazing demo. Thanks for your work❤️

[@dshepherd107]

This is one of your best sky tutorials yet. You gave some very excellent tips as well! I’d mumble it to you if I knew how to in text form😁

[@TAW72]

Another great video, Stuart! Are there any plans for another seascape?

[@geoffc1862]

Brilliant, as always, Stuart. I'm looking forward to the glazing part. Will you follow with a part III on varnishing this?

[@StuartDavies]

Yes, but not for a few months.

[@geoffc1862]

@@StuartDavies Indeed!

[@BazzSelby]

Very nice, and looking forward to seeing it finished. At 37:32, when you took away a little bit of the blue horizon, I saw a river, way off in the distance...and then you ruined it! lol

[@ROBERTMCKNIGHT1952]

Like it!

Hi Stuart, painting looks amazing. I watch your videos with wonder as a beautiful landscape is revealed before my eyes and in such a relatively short time. I've never painted other than a kid, but youve captured my imagination and I've bought some oil paint to have a go, got to have something to do when I eventually retire😂. Anyway, may I ask what brushes you use? Most of the ones I see for sale are the thin ones, yours look more like decorating brushes, no offence 😊

[@randysmith1723]

One thing I’ve wondered about. Is there a way to treat canvas in a way that would make it easier to move the paint around, the way you make it move over a primed and sanded wood board? I don’t mind using wood, but I have several canvases, and wondered if I could put on more gesso layers and sand them, or do you really need the rigidity of the wood to make it work? Great landscape btw, and I like your usual verbiage. I think you should treat your words the way you approach painting; don’t care what other people think.

[@Broody58]

I squeegee gesso over canvas to fill the grain. It comes out nice. If you leave the grain, it eats more paint, & you really have to scrub to get a nice effect. But thats just me. I always forget..."fill the grains, why struggle" & I end up struggling.

[@manicangel7796]

There's a boomer zoomer joke in there somewhere but I just can't think of one lol.. as always your work is phenomenal Mr. Davies.

[@Broody58]

Very nice. Good luck to your student, nothing like seeing it for real. *every time i glaze..it beads up! I've changed everything but the hardware store boiled linseed oil. Its all i could figure is causing it. Amount for price is the only reason ive bought it. But i go through alot.

[@StuartDavies]

Beading could be too much oil, or the surface needs to be degreasd a bit.

[@Broody58]

@@StuartDavies right. Spirits added i get less beading. I also mixed detergent in the spirits. But getting a nice transparent glaze without stroke marks is tricky. I'll keep trying things until I figure it out. Not glazing works!
