Whipping Up A Storm - Oil Painting with Stuart Davies

[@DreamingCatStudio]

I love it when you bring out The Big Brush.

[@FUKITOL-z7y]

Your dry humor, easy explanations and linguistic play, is almost as interesting as the painting. Together they make your videos all the more entertaining - and by that elevates the teaching value. ☺

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much 😀

[@BJones-yw4dd]

Thanks for another inspiration, Stuart! Just today, I recommended your channel to a dear friend of mine whose work-life imbalance doesn't let her paint, though she would LOVE to learn. I told her, if anyone can show you how to let go and play with paint, it's dear Stuart Davies. My own work load hasn't let me join any of your classes yet, but I'll get there someday. Until then, thanks for all you do for so many...

[@feebsfilms]

Your paintings are such a joy to watch unfold. A bonus is you have a wonderful sense of humor. I always find myself laughing at your witty comments.

[@vroe9107]

Nice spending Sunday morning with you and your talent and humor. Thanks for waiting awhile for us US citizens to wake up. 🌞☕️

[@dshepherd107]

That’s exactly how I feel. Nothing better than waking up to find a new Stuart video. Coffee w/ Stuart in the mornings is the best!

Enjoyable as always,at one stage the dark cloud looked like the Bat signal, lol😁

[@goodgena]

Hello, Stuart! I want to express my great gratitude for your drawing style. That's great! I am watching your videos through a translator since I live in Russia. I am pleased to hear "be brave", "don't be afraid of anything" - it inspires hope and confidence. In our difficult time, take care of yourself and continue to surprise. Thanks! Спасибо!

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much 😀

[@alpcns]

Thank you again for a most pleasant and inspiring video of your exquisite work. Even the gorgeous closing music presses all the right buttons for me, especially when I think of beautiful, spectacular, dear Wales I fell in love with many, many moons ago. Your work is a breath of fresh (Welsh?) air in a world gone completely insane.

[@michaeljohn2029]

Awesome video Stuart.... This has made me feel i want to get my brushes out again and feel i could achieve something pretty good following this....I used to do Bob ross style and i feel a few similarities in your style but the landscapes are typically British which will be awesome for me....PART 2...hurry up..lol... Great stuff..

[@jackiemargaret437]

Lovely painting.... very skillfull. THANK YOU Stuart🙂

[@mickideandalusia3676]

Thank you Stuart for beeing part of this relaxing journey into our innermost being.

[@jegr3398]

Hi Stuart, I just wanted to say thanks and I have been watching several of your videos all the way through. You're one of the few artists here on KZbin that shows the entire process without cutting or speeding up, it really helps a lot to see the entire painting done in real time. You have a unique style, your sense of humor is enjoyable and you're easy to listen to.

[@barbaramerrill5917]

I have been watching you paint and I find it very interesting, the way you go about starting a picture. I paint mostly a lot of detail and I am trying to get a looser look to My work. I think watching you will help me do that, and you do have a soothing voice. I do hope I can watch you finish this one. I'm I Texas.

[@samzie67]

Stu, you taught me to paint oils, i am forever in you debt. thank you so so much, i can hang things on my wall and admire them with pride, thank you again

[@margaretcameron5358]

I have just finished watching your wonderful video… I learned so much. Thank you 👍

[@topcat7365]

Brilliant, love the light shining thru - thank you Stu! Hit the 👍

[@StuartDavies]

Much appreciated!

[@geebee1514]

American here..Florida to be exact. I loveeeeee your skies..haha😆@ your expletives. And please keep talking. I hate a silent video. I appreciate your dry sense of humor, tutorials, and storytelling. And your sign-off music is just as dramatic as your skies💛

[@poetryjones7946]

This painting stirs my heart & imagination to its depths. Thank you for another mind blowing video, really got inspired with this one. 🌹

[@number2point0]

I was just skipping along the video watching the process unravel and I heard, "Make it happen, be bold." I love it! Going to watch it all from the beginning again

[@troyb1243]

A Dark and Ominous Sky with a little land salad beneath...Stuart completely in his element! your exuberance really comes across to the audience. Bravo.

[@alfredgrafke1792]

Magnificent. Looking forward to part two Stuart. I also enjoy very much your narration. Thank you so much for sharing. ….Al from NJ.

Many thanks!

[@tewaibrown70]

Thank you so much for sharing your skill talent techniques tips..amazing

[@jamesnorris907]

Absolutely stunning Stuart thank you so much for your time.👌👌🎨

[@bullaj_squishday3210]

New to the channel but can't wait to give this one a go myself! Your style of teaching and delivery is so relaxing and inspiring, can't wait to go through the archives!

[@StuartDavies]

Thanks and welcome!

[@Sur5r]

I enjoy watching your style of painting. It gives me new ideas how to make a complete picture by allowing the paint to work itself out. Absolutely beautiful painting! I'm glad I stumbled on your pages.

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much 😀

[@stormy439]

Ramble on Sir! I learn a LOT from your ramblings and you make learning quite pleasant! Thankyou!

[@amandawalton1120]

I LOVE whenever a new video comes out. You’ve changed how I paint skies. I love a good dramatic sky and you’ve helped me find how to make them happen as I feel them. It’s the landscape part. You work magic with that, because I cannot….CANNOT, get the land to ever look like you do. 🤣 Guess my head will remain in the clouds 🤣🤣

[@conscienceblossom]

Thank you, Stuart. I've discovered your videos recently and it has been delightful to watch the way you give life to paint while creating these amazing skies and soothing landscapes. Love the way you make it easy and simple to shape a landscape with big brushes and fluid gestures and love your sense of humour. Congratulations for the beautiful work

[@dennisrperrin9122]

As always the Welsh Newsreader provides extremely interesting positive news. Your kind humour has given me: At least 3 assets 1. Freedom from infernal turpentine 2. Simplicity in equipment: plywood brush colours confidence 3. Process, including harnessing random operations leading to surprising more professional outcomes

[@DreamingCatStudio]

Well said! I agree!

[@marygraham2155]

You are amazing to watch and learn. Thank You

[@davidhallowell3457]

Before the sky work even starts…the way the landscape shapes up is great on its own. While your, “You can do this” has drawn me into painting, there is subtlety in the red/green/medium mix, and the feel with the brush. The start of this painting is a powerful, concise lesson on how well it *can* work.

[@kimkelley3721]

I absolutely love your free style of painting and tips! Love, love, love your work Stuart.❤️

[@josephdillon7420]

Love the videos. I watch them straight through and view them intently. I am learning here so much and I enjoy how you converse as you teach. This is pure enjoyment and I enjoy your accent too as you speak. Can't wait for your next one. I like the way you do trees! Thanks for sharing your techniques. Have a great day.

[@bigbrushlittlebrush2]

Simply brilliant Stuart love it

[@pollomago]

I really love landscapes with portraits formats... This was amazing....

[@raytheron]

Thank you for yet another superb video, Stuart, for a stunning painting in the making, and also for the chuckles. I love your sense of humour. Oh, and isn't it great that with oil painting, one can always unbugger what has been buggered up!

[@robertsimpson436]

I came across your channel quite by accident and I must say how inspiring this video has been to a lapsed painter like me. You have certainly rekindled my desire to paint once more and your running commentary is brilliant... Thank you

[@brockabeekb1894]

Another great lesson. Tyvm. Many times before painting a wall with a 3" brush, or cutting it in rather, I'd amuse myself by making 30 second scenes with this type of technique. Discovering your channel and watching almost all of your videos has really opened my eyes. I have one more detailed acrylic painting to finish, then I'm going back to oils and have some fun. So again, thank you...And as I'm sure you know, anyone who doesn't want to hear you explain yourself while painting isn't the sharpest crayon in the box are they? TC

[@tonymilroy9684]

Thanks again Stuart, really appreciate you sharing and teaching

[@KenHJones]

I love the moodiness of the dark sky here. So different. Now I'm off to my paints to be brave and copy this. Thank you

[@StuartDavies]

Have fun!

[@neilbergstrom]

What beautiful worlds you create. The skies and landscapes in your work feels so real; I often find myself wanting to walk out into the canvas. Thanks for these wonderful lessons.

[@StuartDavies]

Thank you so much 😀

[@isculpt4u]

Bravo. Your technique is amazing as is your teaching. Thank you. for sharing your knowledge.

[@Skykill808]

I really enjoyed your painting. It's amazing what paper can do for texture and effect. You're an amazing teacher and an inspiration for me to try these new and wonderful techniques. Always looking forward to the next video. Thanks Stuart!

[@StuartDavies]

My pleasure 😊

[@Doppy34]

it is so beautiful again, thank you so much stuart.

[@dshepherd107]

You are an absolute delight to listen to. I love the stories, your dry wit, & you using the word, “okay,” when your satisfied w/ a particular part of your 🎨, is no different than the Brits’ tendency to use the word, “Right,” in a similar manner if you think about it. It’s caught on across the pond here in certain regions. . I really like how this is turning out. It reminds me of some of the big thunderclouds we see rolling through here in the northeastern United States. I’m really looking fwd to part 2! Ty for uploading it😊 I agree 💯, that promoting one’s own social media links or KZbin videos on someone else’s channel upload, is inappropriate, tacky, in poor taste, frowned upon, & in general, seen as just wrong by most.

[@elleneimla6620]

Absolutely wonderful! I really enjoyed watching the creation of such a mighty sky. There is something to learn from absolutely every one of your videos. I still have a lot of watching to do, but I'm happy to do it. Many thanks for sharing!

[@l.wolfm.7006]

Another viewer who always watches your entire videos. All of them! No "only the first 12 minutes" for me! Here is something that I would love to see...an ancient megalithic stone structure as a feature in your landscape under one of your amazing mysterious skies. There are some in France and they are only a web search by images away. You always seem up for a challenge and doing one may create an entire new genre of buyer for a painting since so many folks are captivated by them. I know that you dislike or prefer not to include anything "Man Made" in your paintings but, how about something Man made thousands of years ago. Certainly not a cottage house or a cute little red barn. Ponder on the idea. As always. Stay Safe & Healthy.

[@AnnBishop-f8z]

Thank you so much. I love watching you create.😊

[@cathyserafinowicz6374]

The illusion of swearing! 🤣🤣 I love this tutorial,it’s exactly what I asked for on Facebook,so thank you so much. Hope you’re feeling much better!🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dennisjoines1056]

Thank you for an outstanding painting demonstration!! I like watching your application and blending (softening) of the paint. While watching your videos, I always find your humor and general discussion to be an added plus.

[@DaveTpletsch]

Calm, interesting, and enjoyable as always. Thanks for making these videos Stuart! I'm always glad to see you pop up in my video feed as you provide me an excellent excuse to put down my work for an hour and enjoy a cup of tea and some gentle art thoughts.

[@ΔέσποιναιναΧερουβείμ]

I so enjoyed "Sunday with Stuart" today. After a morning of disappointment hunting white tail deer it was nice to come home and spend an hour with you. I was very impressed with how you handled the beams of light and can't wait for part 2 with this painting. Cheers from Michigan.

Where’d you find Sunday with Stuart?

Another excellent painting, and I enjoy your commentary. Lol. It’s good stuff! Such a cool voice you have. I’d like to see you do a landscape in Prussian Blue with an Alizarin Crimson sky, such rich punchy and velvety colors. Cheers Stuart, great videos.

Maybe one day!

It’s been almost 3 months since I’ve got to watch one of your videos, been so busy with school and haven’t got to paint in so long, however I’m now getting used to school and I have time to go back to my hobbies, great video 👍

[@bernardmoore8966]

Really enjoyable, as usual. I've watched all your videos and learnt a lot. You have a talent when doing a sky which brings in the perspective of the clouds and sky very effectively and dramatically. I'd love to hear how you seem to get the sky perspective without apparently even trying :) Thanks !

[@happychristian9591]

I usually paint along with ur video …. And it’s so much fun because I’m constantly laughing listening to your comments… thank u so much

I really enjoyed this. I don't think you talk too much at all. And as an American, I am so happy you talked about your accent and why some people really do seem to talk very high-pitched. I've always wondered what a man with a lower voice would sound like with that accent. 😂 Anyway, thank you for sharing! You have definitely taught me some things, and have given me ideas of perspective.

I love incorporating your techniques into my reportrois (tried to check spelling but nets is sofa king slow riech now.) Actually, some of my best pieces are from watching your youtube videos. I will soon be engaging in whatever lessons, in person, or otherwise, and can't wait...

Dear Stuart, firstly take good carw of your health then, you ca swear as much as you like has I'm from Québec, French Canadian, we do swear a lot since it's part of our vocabulary. I like the way you teach and your discussions are well receive by most of us. Just keep painting, we enjoy so much you doing your art with so much explication. Be well and the rest of the family also.

Love your painting style! Trying it myself for a change. Don't know if you've gotten the comment previously, but it would be great to see how your loading your brush occasionally. It looks like your getting a few different colors out of one brush load. Like to see if it's intentional or just sort of happens
