Colours used, sap green, red ochre, titanium white, pthalo blue and royal blue.

If all of us, who really appreciate & benefit from STUART’s EXCELLENT TEACHING & generosity of him being a natural born teacher, would all share with a friend to join in, perhaps we could bless STUART by increasing his following. What do you think? I’ve done that. What I’d like is a coffee table large glossy pictured book of all his works, with teaching comments. For me, I think STUART has been my best & most encouragement of any teacher I’ve ever had! What have others experienced? Thanks, Stuart! Petra, well done. Your painting is lovely! 🎨🖌

Ha! I’ve tried to loosen up and not care,attempted to squeeze paint out of the tube,it was a bit hard,and pressed a bit harder,and it shot out right across my studio table! I didn’t panic,I stayed calm,and managed to retrieve quite a bit into a small container.Half an hour gone by this time. My iPad won’t work in studio,so had to remember what your instruction was. With gay abandon,I created two tree outlines,and then forgot the trunks where the white part,yikes,Here’s me adding branches into thin air! Never mind,I’m learning as I go,me and the dog,covers in paint! I’ll,produce a masterpiece any day now,thanks Stuart! 😊❤️👏🏻👏🏻

I love watching you paint, and how you totally go for effects, not objects! Plus your commentary is quite entertaining. "I don't swim, so don't suggest that you will teach me" made me laugh out loud as I have been through similar teachings with an "expert". It's not about technique, it's fear, and you've had a brush with drowning, I've had several. So I totally get what you're saying and totally relate. Back to painting. You literally just put whatever comes into your head onto the surface and play with it. LOVE it!! You go for the surprise of the effect and if you like it, you keep it, if not, you play with it some more until you get the effect that you want. Thank you so much, truly appreciate your videos!
