My birthday isn't until February :-)

[@patriciaandres6274]

Stuart, I’m enjoying watching you paint your mysterious Sky.

[@jefff2244]

Thank you, I enjoy your paintings and presentation. Happy belated birthday!

[@dawnhub7978]

So happy to watch you create. I highly recommend painting along with Stuart in his zoom classes. You may even get to inspire a painting which amazingly I did.. thank you Stuart really like this one and eager to see the 2nd stage. x

[@dshepherd107]

Well done!

[@normanclement3733]

Great lesson. One of my bucket list items is an in person sesson. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@Thisis_NUFC]

Great video and another fantastic painting

[@zohrehzarnegar4433]

Happy Sunday, Stuart. I started my morning meditation and then saw this video, a continuation of my meditation with your voice watching your new beautiful creation. Thank you.

[@topcat7365]

Get out of the way!!!! 😂 Love it as always Stu - cheers and happy late birthday, wishing you many more fun filled days ahead!

[@johnkitching6293]

I can listen and watch your videos Stuart’ for hours, so inspiring! Thank you so much!

[@StuartDavies]

My pleasure!

[@blackdiamond5507]

🌷 How nice to see a new video from you Stuart. All that pretty blue makes me hope to see another Seascape from you soon !! 😀 Pretty please. 😃🎨 Thanks for all your fun videos and lovely instruction.

[@jeffreyross8855]

I'm 74 in June 75..and I think I'm 45😳🤗 I moved to Bali last OCTOBER was a gunna come see you in France but I'll have to wait. I'm setting up my studio here and have learned so much from you. Thank you for all your videos! Very informative and very helpful.

[@joeyslabbert7388]

Thank you for another masterclass Mister Davies !

[@annablack7363]

Hello this is gonna be great

[@clydeletreta6325]

The skyscape is a special one Stuart, came out really well....not to mention the landscape, just what the doctor ordered! Aloha brother!🤙❤️

[@diparish5956]

Oh Stuart please keep talking, I learn SO much from watching & listening to you whilst you paint. I also feel a great connection to your art, we are same age with similar backgrounds too. I am in awe for your generosity in doing what you do for free. I emigrated to the land of Oz from england 50 years ago so time zones preclude me from watching live. Sending bundles of gratitude & admiration your way🙏🙏

[@evelynsommerville]

Beautiful painting stuart I love how relaxed you are when your painting I usually get very stressed when I'm starting to paint since I've been watching you I'm becoming more relaxed thank you.

[@williamdye2740]

Glad to see and hear you again Stuart, always enjoy your paintings ,you make it look so easy 👍

[@awildacruz2990]

Beautiful painting. The sky upside down is a seascape!

[@lesleyfox6934]

Once again I have loved watching you paint to see what your imagination brought out today. I look forward to seeing stage 2.

[@kathryntitus9647]

I'm so pleased to learn that you are rejecting attempts to commercialize your videos with adverts! That's the sort of integrity and independence we need a lot more of in this world! Thank you for not being a sellout!!! 🙏

[@KarlEBrand]

You never lose my attention!! No drifting OFF!

[@julesvis]

I'd say you 'got' the mystery ! I enjoyed watching you paint and listening to your dialogue . Thank you.

[@janicetaylor2486]

Good to see you again. Missed seeing you paint.

[@lheath3431]

Another great video. We are getting very spoiled! Thank you for mentioning the color of the paints you use. Really love this painting!

[@robindupont6399]

Wow! That's beautiful. Thank you, Stuart. Keep talking; I never fail to learn something new, and your voice is soothing.

[@francinedaime1784]

Un grand merci pour cette vidéo❤ j'aime beaucoup, comme toutes les autres, et n'ayez pas peur de les faire trop longues. A bientôt

[@Lynn.Panadero4242]

The first thing that you said about mystery was movement. Through the rest of the video I observed energy and intensity of color. I noticed that there was minimal mixing of color. I’m fascinated with the idea of the concept of art. This work definitely says Mystery. Thanks so much for your art. I am most delighted to be a part of it.

[@julialaw2033]

I enjoy listening to and watching your videos. As a fellow older artist, I never tire of looking at and learning from the work of others. 😊

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you very much!

[@perolofnordstrom-us1xp]

I like this painting very much. It gives me alternative ideas. The light blue strip in the background could be both a lower part of the sky and a distant lake. Quite fascinating.

[@kathyrobinson9783]

I love to watch you paint ! I get lots of chuckles ! Pleas keep up you chatter it makes it more interesting. Glad you are feeling better. I am on the east coast in South Carolina two of my friends who are very talented painters i saw were mutual friends. I am going to subscribe and become a patreon. Thank you so much for sharing your talent i am rather new to painting compared to others but love it ! Hope you continue to feel better.

[@dshepherd107]

I’m a patron for a couple years now, & it’s unbelievably worth it.

[@danclark9987]

Great work. I can’t say why, but when you added those two bushes towards the end of this session, my reaction was “Wow!”. To me, The whole painting snapped into focus. Best, Dan.

[@coramuller6065]

👋Hi Stuart, I'm glad to see a new beautiful artwork from you. By no means will it be boring here. I'm looking at a fantastic landscape, mysterious, yes, I think because of the darker sky and all the wooded hills you can recognize. The yellow spots in the middle ground that look like ripe cornfields make the painting even more interesting. One can always walkabout in your works, there are many planes that create a three-dimensional effect and allow us to go from one to another with our gaze, always discovering new structures that create illusions in one of "there is something there". Superb, Stuart, thank you. Have a nice weekend.👍💖

[@marydaugherty9442]

I enjoyed this so much!! Can’t wait for part 2!

[@kathryntitus9647]

Mystery is so often part of your work and it's become part of my work. It really does intrigue the viewer! Think about it, you can paint what is obvious, or you can leave some mystery to the mind, so the people can find their own interpretation of it! 💜

[@debbiemay3265]

Stuart so lovely to watch you paint, your babble makes me smile, you have such a lovely way with thoughts that lead you to a story. Keep on keeping on.. yep definitely get the Borg thing love star trek, when I first glimpsed it that's exactly what I thought, funny you said it. . 🌟

[@lorachristian7030]

I always wait in anticipation for your videos, I've wanted to paint like this for years! Easily and mysteriously...just as you are so beautifully doing. And your microphone sounds great!

[@katherinebaer6798]

Love all you do! Just that addition of that lower line of clouds enhanced the whole picture. Hoping you continue to feel well and Happy Belated birthday wishes from Michigan!

[@STAR-RADIANCE]

Yeah this one is very nice! I love mystery in my paintings

[@johnhiggins2571]

Thanks very much for your video. I'm 77 going on 24 some days. I paint nearly everywhere day and go to an art class once a week. I really get inspiration from your videos. So thank your from the Inish midlands. John H.

[@AlbertMuller-p3c]

Stuart… You have a tremendous talent… I enjoy looking at your videos… I dable a bit in painting and have learned quite a bit in your lectures… God Speed. 👍🇺🇸☕️☕️

[@stubaker2574]

Nice !! there's alittle magic in the detail's

[@johnmarkie7224]

Stuart you are an unconscious comedian as well as being a brilliant artist lots ans lots of helpful tips i sit here chuckling to myself as you say things like what was i saying again then progress onto something different it is brilliant what about a lightning painting i think that you could do that wonderfully especially as your sky scenes are so incredible oh keep rambling thanks for the tips invaluable

[@dasglaubichnich]

Great painting! I really love your style and approach and I hope I will get somwhere near your skill in the future. I really hope you do not worry too much about KZbin statistics. They can be really stressful. I also love what you did with your microphone, it really did wonders for the audio part. Here's hoping you keep it so we can hear your rambling :D If people don't like it, they can always just mute the video and put music on on their own. But as you can clearly see, there are a lot of us who would miss your spoken insights and your nonsensical ramblings in equal parts. Also please don't worry too much about making a perfect KZbin video. You are a great painter, teacher and (it seems like) all around pleasant human and the production quality of the content can never substract from that :)

[@dshepherd107]

I agree wholeheartedly. Well said from a patron of Stuart’s 👏

[@elleneimla6620]

It was very exciting to observe the formation of both the sky and the landscape. It is already very beautiful, but as I understood, there will be a continuation to it. I will wait for it with interest! I am very glad that you have made it possible for us to see all of this and also with explanations. Heartfelt thanks!

[@Crittersnsweeties]

love your philosophy and talent. Thank you for sharing.

[@rainicascadia5514]

Thank you Stuart! Happy belated birthday 🌹🌹🌹

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you! 😃

[@cathyserafinowicz6374]

Lovely as ever Stuart,Happy Birthday too,you share it with my daughter,and interestingly Samuel Pepys ! 😘❤️❤️❤️

[@PegAMurphy]

wanted to come back and comment on this cause I enjoy watching you paint and instruct as you go love your technique & sharing it with the world ✨💖✨

[@kayakiranana6059]

Beautiful! Glad to hear you’re feeling better. Happy Bday🎂😘

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much 😀

[@1x1pixelstudio]

This is just so mesmerizing Stuart ! Such an amazing artpiece, love the mystique in the painting !!

[@zokakamber]

BRAVO MAJSTORE 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@tanakeilidh384]

Beautiful

[@asdabir]

Please don’t just play music and paint. I love hearing you speak even if it’s rambling. Also without fail your painting and your process take my breath away.

[@patsyeckert9822]

Enjoy your painting as always! I like your comment that it is only a painting, I have done paintings that cover a previous painting,ha!

[@patsyeckert9822]

Would like to take a class from you, if I can ever save enough to go to France, on my bucket list! I have been painting seriously since age 14 but I seem to always be learning with each painting.”Ancora imparo”. Art is not what you seeBut what you make others see. I am retired and living in the mountains of Montana 71 miles from Yellowstone Park , a landscape painting is always near at hand!! 🎉

[@alicehermansson7395]

This is really nice.. I"m dining an experiment here, right now. I grounded my cnńv with a thin layer of light brown acrylic. After it dryed, I started my painting with oil

[@sadiaawanartist]

I like your work style..

[@alexloweh1]

Genius... Absolute legend 💪

[@dimitrioskalfakis]

unique and impressive as always. essential and effective. 10Q :-)

[@eileenjesionowski9164]

It looks like the western US - New Mexico or Arizona with open flat areas and mesas sticking up above the horizon. Of course, there are Rocky Mountains as well in many places, but so far, this looks like the Big Sky country of Navajo land - immense, wide-open, and filled with mystery. Of course, there are no real "bushes" as there are in Europe. You would more likely see cacti and scrub brush that is thin and dusty looking. The mesas draw me in to the vast expanse and I am looking east from the foothills of the Rockies at a little after dawn. Just amazing how moving it seems. The sky is still a mystery of clouds.

[@keywansaffari8540]

I just don’t understand why you make videos so less. We need to watch your art at least once a week. ❤

[@dshepherd107]

He has a lot on his plate. He’s does all the filming, editing himself. Then he does Zoom classes, plus in-person classes. In addition, he does other work. If you heard him in the video, he mentions he has a heart condition. I’d say he’s working pretty hard already yeah? 😉

[@StuartDavies]

Working on it!

[@topcat7365]

Take a zoom class to fill the void in between the free bees.

[@dianebaresich1580]

I am subscribed and watching. I find your process so interesting, so unlike the way I have learned to paint so far. I wonder if your process will work on Yupo paper.

[@StuartDavies]

Perhaps test it? Let me know if it works.

[@papajeno9185]

Goodn👍 Did you know that when watching your videos "on my phone" i can zoom into the areas as you're painting. I guess you could direct viewers to do this on areas you are working on. It would save messing about with the camera and it would save you minutes.

[@RichardHerschberger]

I've been gone for a year and do really enjoy being back again with your words and vision put on board with your paint. If it would work as well to place your microphone at your left temple, we could then see your right eye focus zone. I like what I'm learning. I will be signing up for a zoom session.

[@StuartDavies]

Welcome back! That's what I do with the microphone - it's clipped to my glasses.

[@matthewherbert217]

Thank You for rambling about. Don't panic. Paynes grey is not rare! Unless you need it.

[@janetsagecottrell8518]

❤❤❤❤

[@maxboonkittypoison]

At the end of the video the painting looks a lot darker. I like that. I kno i'm late but congratulations Stuart. BTW i think youtube readings are misleading a bit. Because wen i have things to do at home i stop the video and come back to the video at a later time. KZbin might say to you that i have lost interest half way threu the video. But that wil newer happen with me. This video i've watched it all the way in one take. Greetings,, Kitty.

[@StuartDavies]

Thanks! The final image is from my Nikon and it's more like the painting. I have trouble making the video match the painting... Working on it though :-)

[@tissy327]

Mr. Davies, how about the word, Mystic: of obscure or mysterious character or significance, for your skies rather than the word mystery? Another lovely painting as always! PS. No music. Your voice is part of the magic of your videos!

[@StuartDavies]

Because I'm adding mystery to the painting, not 'mystic'.

[@donneekomisar4806]

I think of mystery as a feeling of wondering what's around the corner, on the other side of the woods, or never knowing what may come out of my husbands mouth next! Maybe mystery can be a " Don't go up the stairs!" of " What was that noise? Hopefully not the plumbing...". Life is after all a mystery, a sight read a constant not knowing. All any of us really have in uncertainty that's why your paintings are all a mystery and pleasant surprise, we can just learn to expect the unexpected. Proceed as the way opens.

[@emild.6660]

So you are saying 72 but looks like your soul is prety young. Keep going. You are motivating me a lot to take brush in my hand

[@StuartDavies]

I'm a whole year younger than 72! :-)

[@MuskegonRose]

I was thinking about you this morning, wondering how you are feeling. Imagine my excitement when I saw this video pop up here tonight. Scrap the music, we want to hear you talk to us.

[@shadownik440]

really mystery land

[@colinc.8742]

I am so pleased that someone else realises that there is a mistake on their birth certificate!

[@deveryburch2373]

At 34 minutes in, you said you'd like to go to this place: it rather looks like the area near Larkspur, Colorado and Monument, Colorado.

[@deveryburch2373]

7:26 If your "dicky-ticker" ever stalls out and scares you, COUGH HARD repeatedly to keep it going. Those muscles you use to cough are like the persons hands you see giving emergency aid pushing on the person's chest.

[@grahamwelsh4258]

Thank you Stuart! Excellent as usual. Greetings from Aus.

[@mollab1]

What is another name for royal blue?

[@StuartDavies]

I have heard people call it King's Blue.

[@barbarahuff117]

Do you see how you are effecting us ? We can make a fairly large pamphlet demonstrating all ways your audience will move to try follow the precepts of contrast AND movement. So good, your technique. Thanks, teach.

[@matcomb7501]

Very nice. About yr TICKER. I recommend watch some utubes of Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn,,, heart surgeon,, then he switched to treating the cause of heart issues, and not just putting in stents etc.

[@martinm3474]

So, okay, I listened to my body. Edvard Greig came to mind. Is this good?

[@StuartDavies]

Depends on whether you mean his music or his health.

[@BazzSelby]

What made you move to France, to paint, rather than say, Cornwall? The light down there is meant to be great for painting. And, would it be worth experimenting, with your BIG brush, on the landscape the same as you do with the clouds?

[@StuartDavies]

Money! I couldn't afford to live in Cornwall. If I could afford it, I would be there tomorrow!

[@georgiamay4045]

it is very difficult to keep in mind that it is "after all, only paint." Especially when I'm trying to get a hint of the place that is my inspiration for the painting.

[@MarkXHolland]

Please continue not making sense, Stuart. It's working. 😁
