I enjoyed seeing the complete picture, no pun intended, of you and your studio. I have always appreciated how you begin a painting, but today I learned more than other times for two reasons (1) your real time discussion and sharing of your thought process and (2) the discussion of what you want to fix and how to improve. Very educational. Thank you. Dee

I love your stormy skies.

Love the sky. I see left hand side of horizon as the sea. This is what I like to paint. Will use this as a guide.

An absolutely fantastic tutorial Stuart, you have such a wonderful way of conveying a simple logic with your gorgeous voice, and you’ve really taught me so much, my sky paintings have come on leaps & bounds since watching your amazing tutorials, you’re a brilliant teacher, thank you so very much, and your painting here is beautiful too... I’m still learning so I’ll still be watching you constantly... Looking forward to your next video with eager anticipation..

Your sky and clouds are so beautiful. Really. I'm sick of those cotton clouds that we see all the time. I grew up in North Africa and I can tell you that your paintings are a perfect representation of my childhood landscapes. I recognize the sky and even the fields.

Thank you for sharing the tour of your studio! 💕💕🌈

Must say i prefer this way of doing the commentary than a voice over because we get your thoughts on why you are doing something before you have.

I’m glad to see the organized chaos known as your studio. You make me look like a beatnik. I made sure my wife saw your studio, thinking she finally see I’m not so bad. Stuart, your videos always teach me a lot. Thanks. GP/FL.

Yes! Now this is nice. A lovely and peaceful landscape. You’re right about not getting bogged down with the details. I love paintings like this, because they leave a lot of room for mystery and imagination. Great job on this one Stuart.

Yes I’ve learned something. Enjoy all your videos very much. Looking forward to the next one!!

Thank you for showing us your studio. 🇨🇦🎨

Thanks Stuart, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!!!

Thanks Stuart, love the fan brush technique. So again a great video. Never bored thats for sure.

Wonderful your creative higgledy-piggledy. I assume it has to be like this. The flesh tone color is an eye-opener thank you very much. Have a great day.

At 1:23 that winter landscape is really nice...the sky is done really well with the variety of blues and epic clouds.

Always learn something more with watching and listening. Thank you!

Thanks Stuart for covering info re lighting, as requested. Altering an existing painting is something I'll be doing a lot of now!!

MASTERPIECE! 😍🎨

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

Omg it’s amazing to see how the painting changes color with the change of the light ❤️. Your paintings are wonderful 😍

I enjoyed watching this video, for several reasons, which are all about your ability to successfully convey information that make so much sense. I find that your teachings are not just amazing to learn from, but are so wonderfully relaxing. I love to watch you accomplish panoramic landscapes masterfully.

This painting is so peaceful to me. It is beautiful.

One of the things I love about your paintings is the care free way that nothing is difficult about it. If you don’t like something, change it. No panic needed. Seeing the cat is nice too. This kind of landscape reminds me of Yorkshire. The kind of scene you see at the start of the Yorkshire vet episodes of “All Creatures Grunt and Smell” (oops…All Creatures Great and Small 😂).

Wow fan brush amazing clouds. So appreciate your videos.

I so want to get started on trying out your method....once I finish some paintings my wife wants me to do. Cant wait....enjoying what you are doing so much.

Thank you for another helpful painting! I started your technique tonight for the first time after a very stressful day. I kept telling myself, “No fear, be bold, play around with it.” If you don’t like it, wipe it off.” So I got completely caught up into it and my stress dissolved. I did wipe off a lot and saved some for glazing which I have never done before. Looking forward to more of your videos. You are such a kind soul to share your knowledge with us.

Another great tutorial..thanks Stewart. 🥰

Love your Art! Thank you for sharing your knowledge....I've learned so much from you.

Your a gift to this world....

I thoroughly enjoy every one of your videos and always learn something to practice to try to develop my painting skills. You make this look so easy. Beautiful painting!

Sitting looking out on cool rainy day listening to your soothing video. Nothing could be better.

Love this!

Nice to see u sir! I wish we could all stop by for some cheese, fruit and wine, and discuss styles and history! I so enjoy ur history and all ur work! I find ur style very challenging and rewarding when I keep with it. Plywood has gotten quite expensive here in the coast of SC. I think it has to do with the status of hurricanes and our home owners insurances demanding a certain number and thickness of plywood...so here we are! Thank you for all the wonderful instructions and demos. Take care and be safe sir.

As always, this is a very good video with many tips. Great landscape and of course the sky, really beautiful! I really like it! Biggest thanks!

I don't know what to say, other than, "thank you, Thank you and Thank you again." You've given me invaluable information. I absolutely love emotional paintings.

Another excellent and informative video. Thank you very much. It is also a beautiful painting!

Thank you for showing us you and your room, and the intrigued kitty. 😁

Thank you Stuart….wonderful and informative video!! I enjoyed seeing your studio as well.

Hello Stuart, nice to finally meet the master behind these beautiful paintings. Thank you for sharing so much beauty and knowledge with the world. I truly enjoy your live commentaries and insight into your thought process when you create.

Really enjoyed that video. Brilliant painting at the end

I love the new color in the sky

Excelente Resultado. Hermosa Pintura. Gracias

I currently have that exact same easel, and I can confirm it is incredible

Watching you paint is very relaxing!

Another good one, really enjoyed the 'informative banter'. As one of your viewers has already said, it was good to see your working environment. So pleased that you sometimes can't find things..!

Allsome masterpiece

Nice tip on using soap for cleaning brushes. I have found that 'Murphy's Oil Soap' works the best in my experience.

I use soap for my brushes also. They stay soft and it is so easy to clean them. thank you for your lesson.

Thank you, Stuart.

I have a painting I did months ago staring at me begging for some change and this is just what it needs. Thanks Stuart.

Why did I not see your videos before? Thank you so much for making these videos!

Lovely to see how you work and your work in progress etc. I adore the tree paintings, so magical! I was surprised to see that your studio is much smaller than I expected considering you paint large canvasses but everything in its place and why it's probably so functional. Love the creamy,whispy sky on the end painting, i like the highlights in the clouds as they are dissolving away, very pretty effect contrasting against the blue & greens.

I've learned more from you on line then I did in art school. that was way back in the 50"s Tjaml you.

Beautiful

Hi Stuart, your artwork and techiniques are truly inspirational. So much so, that me and my daughter of six will be sitting through a painting session this weekend to paint one your magnificent landscapes using your techniques. Although, I am sure my daughter has other ideas! One tip I can give you with regards to taking the video, please set your recording device to manual and not auto focus. In this way it will prevent it from refocusing when you zoom in. Thanks for sharing your video and look forward to more!

Great video and I am about to show my wife the beginning of the video! as yes, indeed, there is someone messier than me in the world.

You're the first person I've seen that paints messy like I do lol 😆 I love it man 😁👍🏾

This is a good idea with the LED Light!

The sky on the painting reminds me of the summer here on Brazil, even though is currently winter... Love your videos!

Another great paint Stuart, love the foreground appearance of detail and as usual the sky is all drama. Cheers, Rich

Amazing

thank you for your teaching. clear and precise..

Awesome!!

Mr. Davies! Great video as always! I have a question as well, but before that, thanks for showing us your studio! Any how, in one of your upcoming videos would you be so kind to paint a similar strong tree like the one you’re sending soon? I love trees and especially the way you paint them. Many Thanks, stay safe- K

I always learn something

Great content ! Love your work 😍😍😍

the sky came out soo beautiful. amazing shapes you made :O

Informative, a pleasure to watch, thanks.

Ron Gillis in Winnipeg. You got me painting again. Thanks

Wow, that's amazing. ~~♡★☆♡♥♥

Hi Stuart...Loved seeing your video and how you work . I learned a lot. I liked how you brought us in on your thinking process for the painting . That was very helpful to me. I keep watching your videos over and over trying to learn the technique. I will try my first painting on the gesso board soon ! I think it is helpful to watch as much as possible, first ! Thanks for this video !!!

Thank you for all the great tips. I too prefer the real time commentary. Your work is inspirational, thank you for sharing with us. 👍🙂

Thank you for sharing your experience. Very useful video.

The flesh tone really adds to the dimension of your sky...so pretty. Would you consider adding some water to a future painting? Would like to see your technique with water. Thanks!

Thank you !

Just on your Savadore Dali comment I once heard someone say we claim progress rather than perfection.

Great stuff, would love a retreat but have no retreat money unfortunately Stuart, keep it up my friend.

The flesh colour works really well. For a moment I was repentantly skeptical. Please forgive me🙏. Great as always. Looking forward to the next lesson.

I always learn something here

Loved seeing your studo Stuart. I guess all of us artists have a bit of a mess in there. Lol! 😂

Hi Stuart, Enjoying your talent,love your videos. I have been painting castles in Ireland and usually find myself using your techniques. Could consider one with a castle in it on a foggy day please. 🙏🏼

Incredible landscape painting, very useful technique.. suport here..

Love your work! I watched as you changed & did some touch ups on this picture. I would like to see it when you first started it with a blank canvas, please let me know what you named it so I could watch from the start. Thank you so much for sharing your paintings.

No it's perfect like this

Amazing video!

Pigment blue 15, pigment white 3. Pthalo blue is a mix of Cyan (primary blue) and titanium white.

I learned a lot, but please forgive me for saying that one can have too much of a good thing. There is SO much green that it’s like looking at the landscape through a green filter !

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks...😍😍😍

Stuart can you tell us what you use to hang the boards on your walls. I use wire on canvases but a 5 mm plywood, I would be hesitant of the screw on a hinge coming through the surface. The weight of the board would dictate heavier hardware. I would think. Another great video and I would encourage anyone who can afford to become a Patron on Patreon as you are very generous with your knowledge and talent.

Cool to see the human part of it!

❤️🙏 wonderful! Big big thank you

Hi stuart, nice place you got there, like it..oh I like the painting of the tree trunk..I would love to be the one who received it...sadly it's not moi. Can you paint a similar one for us so we can paint with you..Or try at least. Thank you.

You need to get on PBS over here in the states. Like your style as I have told you. I guess I will mix up my own rendition of ROYAL blue.

Thanks for the little tour of the studio - mine's untidy too. Just one point about your videoing, although the new camera is clearly an improvement, it does automatically adjust for light intensity and the detail of the painting darkens when you move in front of the camera whilst wearing a very light coloured shirt. How much do you think this would be reduced if you wear a dark shirt? Are you also able to fix the focus on the painting rather than allow the camera to auto-focus on you as you move in front of your work? I too wondered about your change from linseed oil to alkyd. Does it have to do with drying times or the finished effect each has on your paintings? I still use linseed but I add my own siccative in varying amounts depending on how quickly I want it to dry. Another interesting and educational edition, Stuart, thank you for all you have shown us over the years.

PY, PG, PR values means... Pigment > yellow, green, red.

Neatnik

😊

I feel guilty now, I always seem to have a dozen paintings going at 1 time for every reason under the sun. Run out of paint or I'm not happy with the direction and have to ponder it a while, or I just want to get a good base of a painting going.. so I don't forget the style I had in mind, or a list of various reasons. Eventually i finish one, then I am banging on with a new one. it is a vicious cycle. I read in a psychology magazine, that an artists mind is forever working and must be cluttered in order to reach maximum heights of ones ability. Even if it isn't true,, I'm sticking with it anyway. Also that no painting is ever completed, it is simply on pause. lol

Stuart, I really like the style of your painting and love the finished result. I realise you are mainly working from your own imagination but do you ever paint a real landscape and if so, how do you go about it? Also have you painted any seascapes?
