"A painting is never finished, it is abandoned..." EXACTLY! And terrific job, Emma! Brava!

I am a moderately accomplished oil painter, but I love to learn new techniques, by banishing everything I know and starting over with new ideas. I like like your spontaneity.

Americans are blown away by British history. When in Grasmere, a lovely group of Americans kept says how petite the landscape was and “ain’t it quaint” was said often. They were so kind and absolutely loved our Queens Pembroke Corgi Emma she got spoiled rotten with loads of cuddles and photographs it was lovely. When we were at Howsteds Hadrian Wall, as usual it was chucking it down and very windy. My Dad commented, I’m sorry you’ve had a rest visit, but the Canadians in this case said, “Don’t worry, it all adds to the atmosphere”. So our very long varied history and human story is special to them, it made me feel very proud of my inheritance. Which it turns out is Very much Scottish, with Robert The Bruce as a very close blood relative and his first wife Elizabeth Mar. No wonder I’m very emotional about bag pipe music and Scotland. Not to mention my love of the Lake District and Martindale and Ullswater.

tranquility at its finest!... the technique, the colours, the movement, the "illusion of detail" and last, but not least, the teacher and his soothing voice, all together, a healing tool and a precious painting lesson... thank you again!...

Absolutely brilliant. Can't believe that is her first painting.

When I have a bad day Your painting videos put me back on feet.

Exactly my impression of England when I visited “greenest place I’ve ever seen” ; we have vast space here but it doesn’t have that emerald glow. Great video... looks like you’re a great teacher! ❤️🇺🇸

I have been watching your video's, spending more time on line. awesome video's. I am inspired to paint loose. Thank You.

A very wonderful painting, also a good job by the student Emma! Thanks a lot for sharing a very educational video!

Absolutely beautiful, such a care free style no stress, very calming. A joy to watch. Reminds me of a misty day and the mist is rolling down the valley .

Here's another brilliant video. Thank you. And I'm a fan of the blue sky you added. I loved seeing the wispy clouds worked on top of the blue.

Oh my Lord, how stiff my work really is.... beautiful, I I’m so lucky to have found your tutorials.

Actually im an old man and been painting on and off for a few years,aint to bad if i do say so myself.this style is right up my alley.it works for me i comes pretty easy and looks good too. Thank you for putting out these incredible vids,i would've never thought of painting like this without seeing it done.

So happy I found this today. You're saying everything I need to hear. I'm grateful.

Excellent!!! Of course the "Maestro" is the "Maestro", no doubts about it. And the pupil Eva painted her own masterpiece in a beautiful way. Great job for both. Grazie Maestro and Eva 😉👍

Watching your videos makes me very happy and your landscapes are beautiful. Keep these coming!

Thank you for a wonderful video! Emma did a fantastic job. Thank you, also, for all your painting wisdom!❤️😊💜🎨👩‍🎨

YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB!!! WELL DONE, EMMA!!

Very excited to watch this :)

Thank you for the excellent lesson!

I adore this painting! As an American I absolutely cringe when I hear you say you’d love to come to America, I’ve always found this country so superficial, it’s landscapes in the business of being ruined by greedy politicians and contractors (though there are still a few remaining alcoves of true beauty to be found, and I would love to see what you would do with the landscapes of Hawaii, the Chihuahua deserts and Utah’s Red Rocks; some of the vast, beautiful plains of Eastern Kansas haven’t yet been desiccated, and are reminiscent of the Andrew Wyeth painting “Christina’s World.” ) I’m so glad and grateful to have stumbled upon your KZfaq channel 🙏🏼🌹

That bit of blue at the end was really amazing.

Watched again, the way you brought that cliff to life was magical.

Come to Canada, Stuart! British Columbia is beautiful, but every province has its positives. Also the prairies have skies and storms you would not see anywhere else.

Love your work Stuart,different to what l try to accomplish, also love your tips and your stories are delightful.

Yes, please come to America. We'll enjoy and support your classes.

Creating light shade and depth with the magic action of confidence. A challenging act to follow, so rewarding when we surprise ourselves with random creations based on the logic of experience. Love it 😍.

You are the man. Every video i click on is just as good or better than the one before. I hope more people can start to see these in the future, damn you tube algo should have this on Every body's suggestions.

Ooo so pretty. I will be glazing today😊 and eventually I will send you what I've painted dear teacher. Thank you🧡💙♥️ I also use dish soap mixed with white vinegar to clean my brushes AND a finger nail scrubber to scrub out paint n soap under warm running water! (often I paint clouds over other paintings I want to change.. using the excess paint or just wipe on a cloth then use soap etc! 🧡💛🤍

Brilliant video Stuart! I'm learning SOOO much from your technique and relaxed, dry and droll delivery (that bit about CCTV had me in stitches). Also looked up Constable paintings and decided to try one in my own classes. Can't wait for August!

Well done Emma!! Beautifully done. Stuart I fell in love w/ the colors you painted your cliffs sides with. I’m learning so much from you. Very grateful you take the time to show us so much.

Thank you! I am inspired to paint rather than etch! My easel and paints have arrived, and now a trip to the hardware store for brushes and I'm ready. This is all your fault, all this spending and enthusiasm :).

I'm really enjoying your efforts to assist Emma. It's not all about teaching as much as bringing out the student's mood/feeling/touch/view. It always helps me to hear/see the comments about the reason for things you do. It's also very helpful to see what Emma does with your help. Voila. Emma can paint.

Another great lesson about this interesting technique. You start impulsively and then you finish the work by using your rational mind. Colors and coarse shapes are then refined and transformed in a nice emotion. Thank you.

Love watching you paint. Learning new methods , ways to use the brush etc. Good vibe.!🥰🇨🇦

I love your videos! I can almost smell the fresh air😊

Another fantastic video. I plan to get all the Facebook moms in my town watching your KZfaq channels,, Great stuff!

You have masterminded painting techniques that I am so excited to try, thank you Stuart!

Lucky Emma and she did a fantastic job! Thanks for another fantastic video😊

An excellent video -- lots of useful advice to help me clear several problems with my current project. Thank you! Also love the bit about the chair as a studio essential; I can vouch for that. I bought a good one a few months ago and it has made a huge difference. I love to look at clouds for relaxation; painting them without a photo (i.e. from memory) is a way to extend the experience. and learning not to overwork will make it even better.

I found your videos interesting, Your comments are so funny, abandoned paintings, I'll do what I want attitude, your method to painting is refreshing and takes the pressure of being the next goya or pacasso. Keep up the good work I'm sure you will encourage many people who are scared where to start.

We would love to have you come to America. Love your teaching and your painting!!!

Excellent work both of u,looking forward for next painting.

wonderful again Stuart drama in the sky wonderful xxxx

Your students got a great attitude and wow her paintings fantastic.love the inspiration..

LOL. I noticed your 'guide's' face at 6:40 thru 7:45 on the right hand side of the sky. Very fun! Thanks for sharing.

Much love to you Stuart🥰

You are obviously a very good teacher, Emma's painting is lovely, in fact I like it the best of the two.

The more I listen too and watch this video the more I just sense how natural this is. After all, your eyes make images that your brain perceives and understands what your lookin* at. If get my drift. I’ve always seen stuff inside my painted strokes anyway. But never been able to pull the forms out into real images. Thing like beasts and angels and swishing ghostly living things. I’d love to do that kinda deliberately. I also love Constable and Turner, but I live so near where Turner painted, Gibside Hall and Estates anyway. I love landscapes also. Well I’ll keep developing as I think I’m naturally being taken. If you were to really teach you’d pick out all my errors and pre-learned stuff and Id improve over night I know. Thank you millions.

Your imagination,assumption, n painting skills are superb n the way of talking is very cool n comprehensive, love from Pakistan,

Wow this is beauty, love the way you keep telling too 🙏🙏🌷🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

So beautiful !!!

Is hard to believe Emma did not know anything about painting before she started doing this video. I think she did a great job. That sort of gives me a lot of inspiration. Would have liked to have heard what you were saying to Emma,

I love this video. Seeing the "micromanagement" - which is the best of hands-on teaching, is just so useful and I am learning a lot from the closeups, from the brush movements. Appreciate you taking the time and energy to video such a lesson. I wish you do more of this type, like when you teach someone and explaining as well. :-) :-). So good to watch :-).

Wow. Love this one!

Thank you sir...I am attempting ur technique...now for hours of practice, trial and error...

Thank you for these lessons! I found you at just the right time. Every 10 years I have the overwhelming desire to put down the pen and ink and pick up oils. I am always super frustrated. you have helped me out a massive amount in just relaxing and enjoying the act of creation. Thank you!

Meeting you in France as a student is now on my to-do list. In the meantime, these remarkable video lessons do nicely.

That book of yours looks very exciting too!

Thank you again for an excellent lesson. I have much to learn, only entering my second year of painting.

Fabulous. I love your commentaries.

Incredible quality of teaching, thanks a bunch

Just watched again, beautiful

I love your work, and your vids are very informative, I’m registered blind and started painting this way, I’m still learning thanks

Beautiful

You sir are brilliant and your voice is so very soothing.

Of all the many artist vids I've looked at your method and notions are closest to my own.

I just spent two months painting with just black and white. Interesting fun.

Wow Emma!!

Lovely video. Since I am used to american english, for me it seems like the video of agent 007 Sean Connery ! Lol. Well I really like the effects you make and show. Really good didactic videos. Also cheers to Emma. She did a great work.

This is the one I saw tonight on a larger TV. Fantastic!

awesome!

Love the detailing in this video, How did i miss this one? i struggle with the detailing and also knowing when to leave it alone.

Yes! Please come to the States!

I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for sharing. It is very generous of you for sharing your techniques. I hope I can come to France one day and do your class.

Love your style

Realy nice clouds 👌👌👌

She looks so excited and happy. ^_^

would love to see you painting a pond or something with reflections of sky

If you come to Oregon you'll have a million clouds to paint 🎨😉

Stuart, I have only just learned to paint with Acrylics. At eighty-three, a rank beginner, in fact. With Acrylics, I would like to try the Acrylic Gel medium as it seems to last a little longer. You asked for feedback on your last video, which I enjoyed watching when you painted your stormy clouds. Could you please speed it up some, as I must confess I dozed off and missed your final minutes? Which I must apologize for. I like your method of painting as it gives a good impression of what you paint, I must learn. I will be watching a lot more of your art on KZfaq from now on. John Eric Hoare.

Hi Stuart, really got psyched watching all your videos. I have done some oil painting in the past(many years ago). I feel more confident with sign lettering but your videos have inspired me to buy all the goodies and build an easel. Right now I'm copying your style as I appreciate the fast movement. Things that look easy are a sign of many years of experience. Your style of teaching is excellent as well. I would love to attend a class if you come over to the US. We live near Asheville NC I am currently building classical guitars

Wow Nice one

Top stuff 👍

Love your paintings the American artist David Dunlop has a very simular method of the brain thinking it's a tree etc.

Your work is much more beautiful than Turner. I love Turners work but yours is a different kick. Much more relaxing to view.

I would love it if you came to America. It would give some hope to me during the fall of our republic.

I've been at it for 50 years and have discoved some of this on my own ....but you have erased what I thought I knew...and I'm off on this now....free as a bird

You blow my mind..

Impressive! There's hope for me, it seems. I'd love to take some lessons from Stuart before I die. After I die, presents more of a challenge for me....and presumably for Stuart too!

aaah - so a painting is never finished - what a relief it's not only me!

Fai sembrare facile una cosa complicata Con un pennello crei una quiete infinita. Complimenti

Trying this as my very first oil painting.

Wow!! A panting is never finished, only abandoned...

Come to America! West coast...count me in!!!

Have you read Paradise Lost where the darker colored characters are the "good" ones? It's fascinating to read about "darkness visible" and understand the beauty of the darker colors.

Sir, if you were to go to the USA I would recommend Utah. I've only been there on Google Earth, but the landscape is out of this world.

Yeah !! During this pandemic some art relief and then you just mentioned (although a year ago) that you have been to my State! NC. Don't know if you ever made it since then, but that would be an art workshop I would not want to miss. Hope all is well there. (This feels like I am talking to the past.)

A venue in the States? Come to Portland, Oregon. You can't throw a tube of oil paint here without hitting a painter. Portland is an art town! I want to sign up and all my friends want to sign up as well for your talks if you come here!

To get that consistency what medium,,,? Please
