THANKS FOR WATCHING!

[@edwardjohn123]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Michael. I did art for GCSEs, A-Levels and uni then lost it to a career not true to myself for 25 years. My grandfather was a CEO with 24k staff under him and told me that art is not a career since I remember. Your channel has opened the door to who I am supposed to be. I’m back! Thanks also for the paintbrushs, they just arrived.

[@cupcakes7954]

Keep painting 😃

[@ATFstein]

Love your content Michael. You took me from painting happy little bob Ross trees to photorealism just from your KZbin channel and that was before you even opened your school. Thanks a million. My little 8 year old daughter has also caught the painting bug.

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

Ahh, that's cool!

[@ОксанаЖиленко-э8е]

Очень прекрасный солнечный пейзаж! Круто ! Кисти синтетика или щетина? И пишите маслом , если да то каким? Что в работе вам понравилось больше?

[@drexlover5354]

My wife is trying to turn me the other way. For as long as I remember I've painted 'realism' but I've had 24 years of paint me a Bob Ross. I really don't like Bob Ross' paintings! Although Bob seemed like a nice fella 😊

[@lenny108]

He is my favorite painter on KZbin.

[@bettypardeydemaldonado606]

You are an outstanding painter and excellent instructor. I plan to join your Academy someday

[@mars_arty]

Hello Professor I am one of those people who really likes to paint landscapes with acrylic paints. But my problem is I tend to be so impatient that I mess it up many times. and clips teaching various techniques Yours is the only thing that makes me want to continue in this field. Thank you for taking the time to teach. Best regards Mariss. Note - Your work is one of the greatest things to me.

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

Thanks 🙏

[@guplakmancing5340]

Your paintings are amazing

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jacquelinebodin46]

Très bons conseils, ils vont m'aider. 🙌😍 Merci beaucoup. 👋

[@marciahorton2203]

I am a member of your art school as well as on your Patreon. I have a question for you can you demonstrate how you load your brushes. When I load a brush it never comes out even. Also I see you have an Epson printer what sizes of paper can it print up to? I admire your technique so much, no one comes close to your ability. When I look at your paintings you can feel the fresh air, breeze, bugs biting, hear the ripples on the water you have the ability of bringing all of our senses into being. Thank you for showing us how you accomplish this.

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

It will print up to A3

[@conneyh8874]

Besides the beautiful painting and your helpful tips & info (all of which was most important), I also enjoyed the music.

[@aguptill1]

Thank you Michael for your instruction!! I’ve been learning a lot of great techniques from you and now I’m seriously considering buying your set of brushed (with the “tree” brushes :-) ). I’ve been painting for three years and really enjoy it. Take care :-) from Nova Scotia Canada :-)

[@XenaArt]

👌👌👌 Дуже подобаються ваші роботи! У вас неабиякий талант! ❤❤❤

[@mithuandniki7650]

Wonderful😊

[@danielledougherty4095]

As ever, genius!

[@WoodenCarModel101]

That was so cool👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

[@hollybythesea78]

I love your instructional videos. I’m new to painting and I try to paint loose. With that said I was wondering is this could be the reason you became so detailed verses painting loose.

[@lucianodavidbr]

Impressive, I learned a lot from you. Awesome ❤️

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

Happy to hear that!

[@ATFstein]

Thanks!

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

so beautiful🙆🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@maitev-p9582]

Hi Michael Can't wait to see the full lesson in your channel. Question: what are you using to prop the panel on your vertical board? I see 📌 at the bottom but not at the top. Is it a sticky board?

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

It’s stuck with a little tape on the back to stop it moving during filming

[@maitev-p9582]

@@MichaelJamesSmith Thanks so much 👌

[@robertbuxton8054]

Excellent detail , colours used would be of interest to achieve your realistic paintings

[@nassermorenoart]

Saludos desde Nicaragua

[@anwarkhanfilmsandmusicinte3160]

very nice painting

[@0bm31770]

What is the model number on that Epson printer? It makes great looking prints.

[@abdool4374]

Hello from iraq

[@МихаилПилипчук-г7щ]

Спасибо

[@J316-u1n]

Thanks Michael. Veo que el bloqueo lo haces por color ( cielo azul, arboles verdes, etc). Ese bloqueo lo haces con acrilicos?

[@chriswhitehouse8982]

When you said to paint opaque over transparent, are you saying that your first layers of acrylic are transparent? In general, aren't acrylic paints pretty opaque?

[@JohnSmith-fw2et]

What type and colors of paints being used ? What color mix as painting proceeds?

[@azamsaba7343]

بسیار عالی . خواهش میکنم بیشتر برنامه بزارین برای یاد گرفتن من خیلی نقاشیهای شمارو دوست دارم.❤🎉👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺

[@muskokamike127]

7:33 ha, I wondered how you got such straight lines......I tried it free hand and my lines wandered like a lost puppy. Going to have to remember that trick.

[@killiansred40]

I'm this questions was answered many times, but are you using acrylic for blocking then the oil paint on top. ???

[@marksimonian210]

It seems to depend on the painting. If he is going to use this as a lesson. He will clarify in the first lesson.

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

Oil with an acrylic underpainting yes

[@edwinenrriquez2285]

Sos bárbaro para pintar. Tedoi un 1000

Does anyone know what Epson color printer he is using?

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

[@seanwilliams8833]

Hi Michael Just curious - what is the model of printer you are using? Looks like it prints up to 13x19?

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

It’s an Epson ET7750 if memory serves

[@leoalvarado6466]

I was amazed? But i would of like to see how you did the water !But nice .

[@michaelprowse7060]

Hi Michael Your YT channel is great, and thank you - but that elevator music is just too dominating - especially when you are speaking. Can you dumb it down a bit please? When you demonstrate, I turn the volume down. Obviously when you speak, I try and get it right, turning the volume up, but THAT music then drives me to distraction. And I’m am an Amateur musician, playing a number of instruments. So, I’m not anti - music, so to speak. Not at all. Ending on a positive, you do a great job. I have not signed up for a course yet, due to time constraints, but hopefully in the near future. Thank you from Melbourne.

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

Will do

[@jorgenio11]

sound? :(

[@pidduilsardo6134]

Straordinario ! 👍🏼
