Stuart, keep talking whilst your painting, I love your thought process, together with your British sense of humour...”Bloody wonderful To hear it mate”

Keep talking I like it people who don’t want to listen can turn the sound off? 👍🏼

[@dougiescanlon5621]

Amen keep talking.

[@bronking8809]

"I've just got to let the cat out of the room..." Gold. Like poetry. Thanks Stuart, your videos are lovely.

[@StuartDavies]

Glad you like them!

[@Alexandria197]

I really like it when you explain what you're doing on each painting. And, of course, it goes well with the entire process from start to finish.

[@marilynk2609]

I thoroughly enjoy your talks!

[@fayee8986]

I find that you have a style like none other. Nothing wrong with that for sure. Beautiful landscapes. Love your skies. Thank you for your know-how.

[@fayee8986]

Forgot to put where I was from. From the deep south of the United States. Enjoy watching.

[@imagegod]

As long as you asked: It's impossible to enjoy your narrative any more than I already do. To be honest, given the right producer(s), you could easily be an American staple. You may not want that...at all. Which is fine. My point is that your videos resonate in a way that's impossible to describe, except that's its comforting and enjoyable in equal measure. Keep up the good work...and forget the American (or French...or Aussie) accent. Your voice is spot-on, and your words are a perfect fit for your images. Much gratitude!

[@lindacamarata3592]

Like what you said...echo..

[@dshepherd107]

I couldn’t agree more. Very well stated. My favorites are the long ones in which Stuart explains very helpful tips/methods, while throwing in some very enjoyable chatter. I find his voice very relaxing & often re-listen to his podcasts when painting. If anything I enjoy my own 🎨 more as I listen to Mr Davies.

[@katherandefy]

“What else should we talk about?” How about how awesome you are. Oh and I’m still in the middle of this vid, but gotta say you’re very encouraging. Thanks for that. Oh since you asked I much prefer to hear you talk throughout about the process. Background noise? Nooo keep it on, if we’re asking me. I don’t have misophonia but the opposite. The sounds stimulate the sense of paint going on the board. It’s highly participatory. And the outro music was badass. Nice version.

[@Shigatoxic]

I appreciate the narrative while you paint. The decison making process is the most important aspect of learning how to do something. Thanks!!

[@carolmurphy]

Definitely an element of genius in what you do Stuart - I don't quite mean that you were born with a paint brush in your hand and had the immediate ability to swish some paint around a board and create a beautiful scene, but just, whatever genetics you inherited combined with a lifetime of work has resulted in a fantastic eye and a seductively magical painting style - keep on keeping on, we're all winning from it

[@tolbos007]

And so I watched this video the whole Sunday, start to finish--- bit by bit, went to have breakfast, fed the cats, watched the sea, thinking and contemplating.... and what an inspirational Sunday it was, Stuart! Yes, please talk all the time. Sometimes I make notes, like "It is not about precision, it is about feeling, waking emotion"; " Push the land up into the sky, it gives perspective." I have learned so much from you the past year. Thank you!

[@Floatingaxe]

Chitter chatter away---I love the accent! Beautiful work, as always, Stuart! You really help me with my reticence to paint landscapes!

[@sukihitz291]

Thank you so much, Stuart! The person receiving this painting is sure to love it! I love your longer videos..the longer the better! And, I do so enjoy your chatting away while you paint. Makes us feel as though we are there with you. I always come away from your video with new insights ..Thank you, once again , for sharing your teachings with us.

[@jinimurray4090]

Yes, me too. I never wanted to paint, tho I’ve been told I’m gifted-- UNTIL I found STUART Davies. He’s changed my attitude disposition and now starting to really enjoy... THANK YOU, STUART❣️

[@gwennamarquis1742]

Love watching your tutorials, and listening to you explain your thought processes, and changing your mind. Painting turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing your time!

[@catcharnell]

The fog brings back a deep memory for me! I am a “retired” teacher and I can say, you are a very good teacher and you are improving with each video!

[@johannaespitia340]

Just discovered your channel and I love your ideas and theories on painting, especially painting by memories. I have always painted since I was a rebellious teen growing up on the coastal area of California in the 1970’s . My folks paid for private lessons with a German woman who specialized in seascapes. She was tough but I learned how to paint in oils and turned my free time into something productive. I miss California’s landscapes and was blessed with parents who loved to travel to in Tahoe, Yosemite, high deserts and low. I love the Central Valley and the fields of orchards and crops. Always with distant foothills…… I have recently retired and have had a nice separate studio space built in our Florida backyard. I am painting now while listening to you paint. Love your wisdom and instruction. It’s especially valuable to me as I tend to be to finicky with detail and have painted over many half done paintings. I am striving to paint in a looser style that invoke a feeling or memory of color and light. Keep doing what you do, Sir and I will keep watching and learning! 😊

[@sheilamarieful]

I love this painting, your teaching, your talking, all of it. Its one of my favorites for sure. Thank you so much!

[@monamckinnon112]

I have just recently found your youtube videos and I am agog (god smacked) at how you can make all those funny shapes turn into fabulous paintings. I am in western Canada and we just don't get such dramatic skies. Love your work.

[@marytaylor2381]

I love when you talk . You have a divine speaking voice and I enjoy your stories of history and your instructions. It would be cool if you expanded to paint places that are of historical significance and tell the story as you paint it. You can get more history buff followers as well!

[@mariliamonteiro3458]

Love watching you painting, talking through it and love your sense of humour! So admire your amazing talent! Keep painting, talking and teaching us your beautiful style of painting! Love it ❤️ Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 👋

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much!

[@johnmarkie7224]

Thank you Stuart I'm nearing 60 and haven't painted for years I've recently begun again and find your tips valuable your paintings are wonderful and I say to my partner your an unconscious comedian at times thank you again I've picked up lots of tips in this video

[@dornroeschengartenulrikekr6773]

Hallo Stuart. Thank you sooo much for your wonderfull videos! I am from germany and i love to listen to your peacefull voice and like to hear some storys about your interesting live and the good informations about painting while i am painting alone in my studio. Make your videos as long as you can...i watch them all several times. Because of your videos i paint a lot more landscapes in oil than in acrylics and i enjoy both. You are a wonderfull teacher and your paintings are amazing. This " Foggy Landscape " is fantastic and i love it. Stay save and never give up making your interesting videos for us! Best whishes from Schleswig- Holstein, and sorry for my funny english. I understand you very well, but my writing is sadly very bad.

[@jonathanhall3894]

Thank you Staurt for another exciting painting video. So dramatic yet soft at the same time. You never disappoint 🙌

[@philipsamuels5623]

Keep talking, I love your comments, and hearing how you work around the process. I also like your dry sense of humour.

[@131dyana]

Thank you for telling us why you are doing some thing to the painting. I appreciate that.

[@aliciadawson2753]

I appreciate you talking while painting. I like hearing your thoughts as you go:) Thank you so much for these tutorials Stuart!

[@StuartDavies]

My pleasure!

[@marleneford]

I love hearing your thoughts while you paint. In a funny way, it helps me understand where you are heading....I learn a lot watching you paint and hope someday I produce something as wonderful as your work is. Thank you for sharing.

[@jackstixrud6412]

I enjoy your talking. Goes perfectly with your beautiful painting.

[@Artist_Crafter]

I love how you are explaining your painting process and thoughts! Thank you.

[@clydeletreta6325]

Oh yes, please keep talking, that's how we learn, not just by watching you paint but, listening to you plays a big part of the learning process....do talk our ears off Stuart..Aloha!🤙❤️

[@PaintingWithYovette]

An answer to your question, Stuart. I love it when you do a voiceover, and I love it when you are painting in real time. I do think you are more focused when you are doing a voiceover. But I totally enjoy both no matter what you do.💕

[@MiaRose878]

It makes me so happy to be notified of your latest video!Thankyou So Much Stuart ! Mia 🇬🇧

[@KarlEBrand]

Thank you Mr. Davies-in these uncertain times, your painting tutorials and paintings, give me anyhow, a peace and joy for an hour or more. I repeat it (and your other videos) often to give me more peace. Thank you-just a simple, but heartfelt thank you for these videos. Karl

[@StuartDavies]

Thanks, Karl, glad to hear you're enjoying them!

[@marleneherbst5347]

Love the nostalgic feeling your landscape paintings give me. But I am begging for a seascape please!! Thankyou - fan from SouthAfrica

[@mikes7736]

I love watching your videos! I find myself looking at an advanced technique then a simple one. I would like very much to see (if it exists) a list in order of your videos. I want to start from the very beginning. Thank you.

[@AylaZA]

I recall my deceased hubby saying that he had never seen and artist 'wiping away' paint. So pleased to see an esteemed artist doing what I do

[@jinimurray4090]

Ahhhhhh thank you. I want to work loosely. I feel like I'm at edge of icey waters needing to jump in. I only discovered you yesterday been binge watching I. So grateful to see your real casual yet phenomenally beautiful work---WOWOWOWOWOWWWWWW I AM SO GRATEFUL GOD HAS BROUGHT YOU TO ME. (PRAYING - LORD WILLING) I WOULD BE EXTATIC TO BE ABLE TO COME TO BE YOUR STUDENT NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU STUART!

[@user-hl2yg2yz3j]

Hi Stuart, I must say that this is my favorite video of yours. Since I an a photographer and an artist that uses my photos for inspiration, I love the process you took from start to finish while referencing the photo yet using your technique in a slower more easy to follow tutorial. It's also nice to see where the painting is going before you finish.

[@zenomangum3504]

I like your talking when you talk about techniques and your thought process. Also the personal stories are amusing. You have encouraged me to believe I too can paint even though I can not draw. Thank you!

[@garyheger8198]

Stuart, Please keep talking, your narrative enhances the visual. I am impressed with your technique.

[@StuartDavies]

Many thanks!

[@michaelcody3829]

I really like hearing you and the way you explain things. Thanks for your great teaching.

[@micheleward9668]

No I hope you keep talking as you do your demo's for us. I love hearing your conversation to what you are doing or thinking at that very moment. Keep doing what you do, please.

[@josephciosek578]

Yes. Please continue to explain what you are doing and why. Also love the bit of history. Love all that you do and say. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us. So kind of you and So greatly appreciated.

[@coleneritchie5625]

Love the talking while you’re painting. I think it really helps us all to hear your thoughts. The accent is great, too. Natural. Can’t imagine you trying to change it.

[@wandapowell4003]

I was taught to hold your painting in front of a mirror and it shows everything you have done wrong. Love you videos and your voice is very soothing. Thanks for all your work.

[@cheryrobertson2735]

In California we see simular landscapes so I feel right at home watching you paint, please continue talking as you paint, I value your input and your personality of course!

[@carolgivati7372]

💕💕 you tube needs a ❤ button. Like is not a strong enough button for the way some paintings make one feel. Your teaching style is lovely because it is very harmonious, humourous and quietly instructive but interesting enough to keep one watching to the end.

[@Sue-x1p]

Because of ur technique, I started painting again, ur my favorite artist love the landscapes

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much 😀

[@DarkForestAtmosphere]

I'm 3 years late, however, thought I'd give you my 2 cents worth. I very much appreciate the oral part of the process as well as the visual. Keep talking. Please. If you feel a bit cheeky, I'd certainly not object to a tour of British accents, whether in a single video, or one for each. IF you can do them. Having said that, you're very pleasantly clear and easy to listen to, and your videos are wonderful to watch. I'm not into Hollywood drama-rama; this is my kind of riveting. I know, I need to get more of a life, but, to-each-his-own. Thank you for sharing your process. I've been so inspired, I bought a ridiculous amount of paint, panels, canvas, brushes, medium, palette knives, etc. I'm hoping, after watching all of your videos (when I get through them), that I will be somewhat ready and be able to justify my embarrassing expenditure 😳 (Wish me luck)

[@donneekk3169]

Your commentary, word high jinx and play is delightful and I enjoy the frequent chuckles as I learn.

[@marilynk2609]

I gave up but your wonderful presentation called me back! Thank you so much !

[@buzzburb1]

Stuart you ve changed the way I paint, 1 painting every 3 weeks, tight and worrying to 4 a week loose and pleasing thanks so much, after this covid crap will be coming to see you , thanks so much, you`ve made a real difference to a terrible year

[@Beautyofcolors]

I have learn a lot of great aspects of oil painting these past few days from you, I just want to let you know, I'm so thankful for all your great advice, thanks so much for great upload. Your painting style is very authentic, especially the narration is just incredibly mesmerizing :) have a life full of happiness and take care :)

[@StuartDavies]

Wow, thank you!

[@EllieChristine744]

I watched this video in May 2021, and it is long. I started last night, paused the video and enjoyed the rest next morning after breakfast, so no problem - I enjoyed it very much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Hugs from Sweden.

[@cordulamattioli3750]

Dear Stuart, please don't change anything in your videos. These videos are reflecting you and your process and thoughts. I like you how you are and not for this what others maybe like to change. Be 100% yourself this is the best !! Greetings from Singapore

[@gabyd.530]

Wonderful work! I love how you did the fog effect in this painting. Not to mention the depth of the sky. I have been watching your whole videos for a long time. Please make them as long as they need to be!!! People who prefer shorter videos can always fast forward or look for something else. As far as the talking, please keep sharing your thought process. It is incredibly important to hear what an artist says and feels about it.👌 It is particulatly helpful to hear WHY you do or not do certain things. Just adds value to the learning process 🤗 I believe that adjusting the length and the amount of talk about your work would be detrimental to the teaching/ learning experience . Your style is very unique and personal, that is what makes you an artist. Please keep doing things YOUR WAY!!!! And thank you for taking the time to produce your videos to help us gain confidence in the art of painting. I would love to see a video of the finished works of your students!!!! Do you ever use acrylics? Regards from Seattle 💖👏👏👏👏👏

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you! No I never use acrylics.

[@jamestierney7123]

I’m always here for the long run! You always bring me calm and escape from my treatment for cancer Thank you 🙏🏼 Keep your narration and process. Love your foggy painting. Thank you again 👏🏻

[@sophroniadee6841]

This is fortunate timing. I have wanted to paint a foggy landscape since my son-in-law visited and saw our recognizable tree shape shrouded in fog in the pasture. He said, “Fog; the original filter.” I love your soothing voice; it is at once authoritative and gentle.

[@joyousofferings6801]

I love your explanations and find them very helpful. I really enjoy your tutorials.

[@maryellenworley4901]

I love to listen to you and watch you paint. It's very peaceful.

[@panchoverde5078]

Thank God. Happy to have you back

[@amybrown1550]

I quite enjoy listening to you. Usually quite informative. I’m gaining so much from you for my paintings. Thank you. 🇨🇦

[@nathanmirr8182]

You're an amazing painter, and I love your work. Cheers!

[@rajendrakapoor8727]

Please keep talking, it makes it more interesting to watch and learn while you explain. You are simply amazing , Sir

[@unajaneeskew2168]

I enjoy the commentary as much as the painting. I’m not artistic and don’t paint but am pleased to obverse your talent. I find it quite exciting, interesting and informative. Thank You So Much!

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jeanmccloud5828]

Enjoy your chatting while painting. I actually feel as though I am there with you. Always learning something to take away!😊

[@johnlemm7638]

Don't you dare stop talking, my wife says your voice is soporific and it all adds to the quite relaxing viewing experience. We also love the paintings.

[@StuartDavies]

Ha ha! I promise not to stop; Thank you :-)

[@richardlewis1257]

Love you talking through the process. So many artists don't say enough so we don't know what they were trying to achieve. Also, it helps us to think through the decisions we make when we paint.

[@jeannealleva]

Oh my goodness, what a blessing to receive one of your paintings!!

[@marlenemarconi6832]

Enjoy listening to you think out loud, your voice is pleasing, keep on! Your work is amazing!

[@berniserodriguez6287]

Definitely keep talking!! I follow along when I paint. But I LOVE listening to you when I paint. Helps me relax and feel more inspired and to not get so frustrated if my painting isn’t going as expected. So also, thank you!

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you! Will do!

[@enzoa968]

I'm really amazed about your job... As a french student, your videos really helped me to (first of all) understand English and secondly, they helped me to learn how to paint.. and that is amazing! Thank you !!

[@StuartDavies]

That's awesome!

[@DebbieTaylorpdx]

I could watch you paint all day! Beautiful creation!

[@dutchamericanman]

Definitely like the talking. You’re adding important thinking process, showing me how you execute thought with brush. My vote: keep the talking bits. Thank you.

[@marilynk2609]

You are just wonderful ! I love your humility and great wit not to mention your freedom to express yourself and teach us so well.

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much!

[@kathleenhutter4412]

Lol, I prefer the narrative, it adds to the engagement and entertainment! If someone doesn't want to listen, it is easy to mute. Otherwise, chatter on as it allows the viewer to see the thought process that is the driving force to the painting! And yes, in a painting, it is "my world" so I can create it as I like. Definitely! Thank you very much. Enjoyed the video and the painting!

[@marionsummerbeeart955]

I'm working my way through your videos. Beautiful finished painting.

[@gertrudborchardt4496]

I like that you talk while you paint. I have learned a lot from you even though I paint with oil and cold wax, but many of your ideas and techniques are totally transferrable. Keep chattering away.

[@tanyatanu1]

Keep talking, just as you do. It helps a lot. I haven’t gone to any school and have just started painting, so little things that you know on an intuitive level may be unknown to me, so talking about those helps. My teacher up to now was Bob Ross, you have one thing in common - you are very positive and encouraging towards me/us, it makes me very happy, thus I want to paint more. I also love listening to your stories.

[@hookedbycrafting5348]

I think you've whipped up a storm in every video I've watched ❤

[@talshagan5000]

Seeing you paint just confirms what I thought since childhood, painting is a gift you either born with, or in my case, without:) You Make it seem so easy...I enjoy your videos a lot.

[@premaiyengar9811]

Keep talking as it is interesting. Beautiful paintings and sincere honest explanations! You are such an excellent motivating tutor! Glad you have kept your English accent. Wonderful job!

[@dorothyg3012]

I have to admit I wondered where you were going when you slapped white paint across the sky, but I've watched you long enough now to trust the amazing results you end up with. Wow! The sky sure came out beautiful. Love your voice explaining the paint color and brush selections. Fascinating taking the journey with you.Thank you for your wonderful painting tutorials.

[@christaparks2930]

Keep talking because your thought process is very helpful-knowing why you’re doing something as you do it. Please don’t mess with the accent! Love it😊

[@isculpt4u]

Just sat thru this entire video. You are definitely a wonderful teacher, and you are brilliant!!! Love you talks as well.

[@dmplows]

Absolutely love your video's just the way they are. You make it look so easy! Going to try your technique! Very enjoyable and was very easy to learn from you! Thank You for sharing your talent.

[@StuartDavies]

Thanks so much 😊

[@lesknight4541]

You are such a good teacher and a great artist, thank you for letting us see your techniques, yes I like it when you talk about how and why you doing

[@annragsdale5596]

I love hearing you talk during the painting process. Your voice is easy to listen to. Not all artists have a pleasing sound.

[@KerryFreemanMelbourne]

Keep up the narrative Stuart. We like it and it connects us more with the process, and get insight into directions and the process.

[@maxboonkittypoison]

I always watch the whole painting. But every now and then i take break from it and watch furder next time. Seeing you paint a painting is like a story. Once i hooked in to the story line of the painting i have to see the whole painting until the end. So no matter how long the video is, i'm watching it all the way but with a couple of breaks in between. I don't know how KZbin picks that up. But i always try and leave a comment. Because i am running addblocker. I don't want to see adds that are not relating to painting when i watch your video's. This painting looks amazing. And the picture is also worth framing. It is awesome. With the orange of the early sunrise. I love it.

[@robingreene150]

I enjoy your talking and your accent. You are a wonderful painter and I truly enjoy your art and your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your process.

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much!

[@florianahayes3548]

Just love watching you do your magic.

[@johannbull1092]

I love your teaching videos and love to hear you talk. You have a very relaxing and entertaining way about you. Thank you so much for what you do it is greatly appreciated by me.

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much!

[@nadinemercader3209]

In response to your question I do like the verbal content that you provide. You provide a clear understanding of what you are about to do and it is fine. I hate when videos have music background. I follow an English artist called Dan Tirels and he doesn’t talk at all and I enjoy his works. Thank you for creating your videos.

[@michaeltoohill5392]

Yes... I agree.. Keep talking. For me, it's a mix of excellent information, guidance, friendliness, and not without some welcome relaxation therapy.

[@elisstarr1]

Yes! Keep talking! It’s pleasant and informative. Tell us more about your color mixing when you change it up. Yours is my favorite KZbin subscription, I think because you make viewers feel that we are in your studio while you’re painting. Thanks so much for sharing your extensive knowledge!

[@inlesinlet]

*Yes, please talk!* I don't paint myself, but your calm presence and voice helps me relax and sleep. It's funny you say painting is a kind of poetry; I do write poetry and think of it as "word painting" :)

[@lauriestclair2322]

Just keep on keepin on. I love your talking while you paint it is full of information. I absolutely LOVE YOUR WORK!

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much!

[@lizkolodziej9159]

Always good to hear your thought process..........please keep talking and letting us into how you expect of your painting, and how you hope to achieve it ....thanks Stuart!!

[@gigig2492]

Love your work and your beautiful, melodic voice. Your comments are very helpful. You are a great teacher! Thank you.

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much!

[@donnaholland2893]

Absolutely want you to continue chattering away about what you are doing and what your thought process is as you paint.; that is very helpful!

[@daviddick9775]

Start to finish is fantastic. I'm also a fan of hearing your thoughts as you go.
