A Simple Snowscene, Oil Painting Made Easy - with Stuart Davies

[@gerribradford4594]

I was sorry to hear you were ill in the hospital but glad you are now back. You are an amazing artist and your techniques and demeanor are most appreciated. Your humor and the stress free atmosphere you share with all of us makes me feel very humbled in your presence. At 90 years of age, I never know if there will be another day for me, so I paint every day and enjoy the "now" of being. May you have many more years to share your talents with us . We all love you!!!!!

[@nigelcranham8013]

Welcome back Stuart I experienced similar to you last year I ended up in hospital with pneumonia only to be told I had heart failure but I am picking up now as you say an attitude of mind makes all easier to deal. Enough of me I wish you a steady recovery and happy painting!

[@MarkXHolland]

Bloody hell. If you don't feel like making a vid, don't worry about us, we'll be here when you're ready. Take care and stress not!

[@jess65963]

Absolutely!! Don't stress, we have lots of reruns waiting to be watched. Take 😘

[@julieb5745]

Exactly.

[@paulinemarr586]

Watching you paint is very relaxing and quite magical. Thank you Stuart.

[@StuartDavies]

My pleasure 😊

[@tanyamaxfield1261]

Really Stuart I had almost forgotten what a genius you are! So glad you are feeling better, please take your rest. Lovely painting, thank you as always.

[@elleneimla6620]

Anyway, it's a very beautiful snowy landscape. If until now I had been of the opinion that I will not paint snow because it is boring, but after watching this video, my opinion has changed, because it was surprisingly exciting and exceeded my expectations. I just love that you talk and explain while painting, share knowledge and your thoughts, all these make your videos very interesting. Your videos are very inspiring and educational. I know I still have a lot to learn and practice. When I have watched all the videos, I hope to participate in the zoom class as well. It was very sad to hear that you were in the hospital with health problems. I hope you are fully recovered by today. Take care of your health, because it is the most important thing, it comes first! Stress should be avoided, we should not worry about things we cannot change. All the best and many thanks!

[@janeymo8477]

What a beautiful painting, I love the sky which looks almost mystical, like some far distant nebula! Also love the way you use the palette knife. Great to see you back up and running - whilst you’ve been away I’ve been catching up on your vast back catalogue having discovered you only a few months ago and I’ve a lot to learn. I join the rest of your devoted followers in hoping your health continues to improve day by day. Take it easy, pace yourself.

[@hbendzulla8213]

I agree with your comment mystical sky. Good point. It looks good

[@PhoebeMostafa]

So sorry to hear that you've had that devastating experience with your heart. I'm sure you're right to avoid stress as much as possible. Lovely painting! The colours are beautiful.

[@ginnibrower596]

So glad your back. Take your time and get your energy back. We'll pray for your good health.🙏. Just a comment about the picture. My favorite part of this painting was the far hills where the hill met the sky with a touch of snow showing until u brought the sky to the hill. I was glad to see you were trying to bring it back. Please take care of yourself.🤗 God bless you.🙏

[@dshepherd107]

Professor Davies, this was a fantastic tutorial, & I ❤️ that sky.. going to give this tutorial a try. It’s so beautifully done. You nailed the conifers. I live in a region with many conifers & mtns. I actually really appreciated your demonstration on how you’d create them. As one of your patrons (& thus, one of your reg Zoom class attendees), I didn’t realize you have congestive heart failure in addition to the valve issue. Goodness, you’ve had an unexpectedly rough go of it lately! I’m certainly not going to stop being a Patron, & will continue to re-watch your videos on a regular basis, as that’s how I learn to get better😉. Please know your loyal followers & patrons would rather see you get better, than have you push yourself on our account. You are one of the finest landscape painters I’ve seen, & an absolute delight to listen to. Take care & we are all pulling for you💪💕

Thanks, Debra!

So very glad to have you back on KZbin. We cannot have you sketching any more trees in hospital! Soon you'll start feeling much better & guaranteed that you will back to your full cup of morning coffee before you know it. Stay well. This COVID world really needs you to keep on painting for us.

[@katherinebaer6798]

Stuart, So glad you’re back and in the studio. My lovely and lively neighbor had congestive heart failure for 35 years, controlled with medication, good diet etc. She passed away at 96 from something totally unrelated to her heart! Stay positive! ❤️

[@isabellegalaup7419]

Hello Stuart, your landscapes are wonderful ! I really love your way of painting. I've tried to paint a snow scene, I learned contrast colours and using knife for the first time to paint the sky. I'm happy you recover from your health desagrement. And Listen you again and your video demonstration . I viewed your past videos and exprimented some of them. Thanks a lot and sorry for my poor english. Take goodcare of yourself .. Isabelle (France)

Stewart, fabulous painting and style! Remember that you come first when it comes to health. Your videos are very inspirational and educational. I rewatched several of yours while you conval

[@judysecor5855]

As always your paintings are beautiful and informative and you have given so much of yourself to those of us who love 💕 to watch you as you make art seem so easy. And I think that we (at least I would) love you as much, or more if you take it easy and make your sessions shorter, (or less frequent) knowing that we will watch what ever you do. I am approaching 76 years in a few months and I see myself slowing down every day. Please don’t push yourself. What ever you do, we will find it enlightening and be glad. Each day will be a present to us, and to you, and we will support you whatever you decide to do. You might also consider decaf coffee and tea. Not my favorite, but better than nothing. You are and will ever be in my prayers. God bless!

Glad to see you well and painting again. Don't stress yourself and don't worry about us. Paint whenever you can. Love this snow scene..will definitely try it💛

[@evamugno7161]

I'm always very touched by your honest conversations, especially this one, as I too, suffer from various health conditions. It's taken me many years, but I've learned to listen to my body. I no longer push myself to do things in fear of letting someone down. My body tells me everything......and when I'm up to it, I paint. It brings me to a place of calm and peace. God bless you and your family in 2022. Thank you for this marvelous video. As always, it's incredibly beautiful. I've learned much from your painting sessions, as you are a wonderful teacher and feel that I've seen an improvement in my own paintings. Be well, healthy and at peace.

[@jamesjordan2512]

I’m so glad of your help Stuart. Since watching you I feel like I can paint now. You’ve been a door for me and I’ve stepped from wondering if I can ever paint in a way I’m proud of to enjoying painting and knowing I’m producing something of what I see in my minds eye that I’m happy for people to see. I’ve spent over 55 years roaming the New Zealand mountains and have something of an eidetic memory too. Now I’m beginning to let others see what I see in my head too. Thank you.

[@richardrivard8831]

Hello Stuart . Very happy that you back. Stay healthy please , slow down ; we,ll wait for you ! . Always appreciate your talent , calm deminor . The world needs thinkers, misicians and artists like yourself ....

Hello again Stuart, merry Xmas and A very happy new year 2022. So very sorry to hear you have been hospitalised again dear friend, but so glad you are pressing forward again with your masterly painting skills. I very much love the realism of your snow covered mountains. This is a really wonderful scene. Also, I agree with the commentaries made by so many of your other followers regarding your health being more important. Perhaps you need to take a holiday say two months or so and focus on other less emotional things and come back later in the New year. We love you, your paintings, your tutorials and look forward to seeing more when your feeling much better mate.

[@kathmccormac8936]

Please take care of yourself. Your art is such an inspiration and so mesmerizing, but your well-being is much more important. 💖

[@dougs4308]

I was fascinated by this and enjoyed your intimate discourse. I have to admit I was shocked by the high chroma of the sky but it worked beautifully. The key lesson I think is really to paint without fear and let your vision, Zen and vision lead the way

You are on the right track by using the mind power, reducing stress, salt and other stimulants. Painting has always been a stress reliever for me, as I am sure it is for you.

And I was waving my arms around at somebody saying quite loudly I want to paint I want to paint. I just am checking you as I'm heading to work probably not a good idea to be watching and driving at the same time... I tell you though it made such a peaceful drive and I want to get busy! PS I'm not spell checking this good luck
