There is no need to fuss about squeaky floor boards or an infinite amount of umms. We are all here to be inspired by your fluid and calm approach to painting a Stuart. This was incredibly informative as always.

I was with you until the end. Thank you so much for sharing your work. I'm 73 and just trying to play. I started in my late 60's and I find that instead of sitting around feeling blue painting allows me to play. I thank you for letting us look over your shoulder. I am one who has tended to paint tightly and I want to loosen up...which sounds funny from an old broad like me! I look forward to the 2nd part of this work!

I always watch your videos until the end. Sometimes several times. I always learn something new.

Stuart, it is NOT about being boring or being bored during the lesson, BUT more about them! They can skip forward and back if they like, but it is more about that they want to become "The ARTIST", in less than a day, produce masterpieces and even make money! It is not about you, because these people that criticize, they will keep doing it, and to any other tutorial! They should only thank you for letting us in, for giving a FULL-length tutorial for free! I just wish there could be some more, especially how to apply colour to the tonal painting. I could never begin to explain how is appreciated this video!! *THANK YOU!*

Thank you Stuart!! I've just retired, moved to Fredericksburg Texas & started painting again (Aug 2022) & am thank-full to find you & your lessons!! You are so reassuring & relaxed about the painting effort & creativity ~ you express how I feel about the painting process & results, but discounted my ability because it's not like the artists I see in the galleries... but you've given me Hope!!! I'm also so glad to see someone of your caliber painting with those big household brushes - I thought I was crazy to use them, but Here YOU are!! Yippee!!!

"Almost like owning a dog with a handle on it"...I had to pause the video because I about died...hahaha

I have always been fascinated with the sky. That’s why I love your work. While watching this video I had the thought that being able to watch an artist work is in itself another form of art. Really appreciate being able to watch your work unfold.

Maybe the best video you've done, next best thing to actually being with you. I watch all your videos from beginning to end and then again several times more. Your "ums and ahs" do not detract nor does your shoulder, don't waste any time worrying about that. Great to hear the sound of the brush on the canvas. One great revelation has been the creation of cloud effects using rolled up paper - I've always limited myself to the big brush so far. Please do more of these "live" commentaries. No microphone popping at all btw.

Oh, yes, I watched it from beginning to end and backed it up a few times to watch certain steps. Your voice is soothing, my cat jumped up on the table and watched, too.

I'm one of your viewers who always watches right through to the end, Stuart. It helps that I live alone, so am no longer juggling a partner or children, so can watch videos uninterrupted!

Watched until the end. While I’m grateful for KZfaq, they’re quite often wrong about a lot of things. I’ll watch a full length painting tutorial from start to finish before a time-lapse or cropped video. Thanks for all you do.

Yes indeed I’m still here at the end as you said ,those of us that are inspired to learn are honoured to have a front row seat at your Studio space Im new to this type of art and very much appreciated your tips. Thankyou kindly

Watched the WHOLE video. I may be your smallest patron. Usually up at 3 am, watch ⌚️ your videos and back to bed. Helps when you show the pallette, discuss blending, and your thought process regarding composition. At 73, I've started painting again. 40 years as a litigation attorney, now back to art. Like a good marriage, frustratingly enjoyable.

"And this is the automatic palate knife, you just apply it to the painting and it does the work for you"~Thank you for that!!!😜😆

I watched the whole thing. I always do. Your style sets right with me. I have been painting "intuitive landscapes" and since incorporating some of your techniques I am actually able to do more of what I want. I appreciate you offering these videos very much. Thank you.

You mentioned that you hoped the live commentary would be successful. I vote yes. It’s a pleasure to watch and I always learn so much. As for that painting... powerful, amazing and an inspiration.

I have a big problem with not loosening up when I paint as many do. Thank you Stuart for showing me your ways and thoughts. Love your channel.

THANK YOU STUART!!!

I know you must get tired of hearing "Absolutely beautiful!", but that's all I can think to say. I learn so much listening to you think as you paint. Your commentary is the most valuable teaching part! To only see one do something is not really that helpful if the student doesn't understand WHY. Thank you so much for these videos! 11 minutes is only for entertainment. I approach your videos as an art class, so I watched till the end. Your sense of humor keeps the coma away, and your voice is concentrative thought and pleasant. Well done! Thank you!

I'm still here and liked it very much. I'll be back. Thank you for your time 😊

I like hearing you as you are actually painting - thanks for trying this :)

I always watch beginning to end. You never bore me! Appreciate your teaching.

Very enjoyable. I liked the real time. I watch all of your videos in their entirety but not always in one sitting. 💚

I am loving this live instructional video. I have watched this twice and each time find something new. Even down to the "salad" makings. Thanks

How could you not watch till the end? Your sky is awesome. I love the boldness and drama of the clouds. Enjoyed listening as you painted, will be looking forward to seeing how the landscape finishes up. Appreciate your time, effort, and teaching style....thank you

I am so mesmerised by your voice and instruction which is delivered in such a natural way. What a wonderful way to start my day and give me energy to go and paint. I watched it until the end and thank you as you are an inspiration.

I personally love everything about this channel the length your beautiful voice and your calm irony

Hello Stuart, its been a while since I viewed your amazing sky paintings. I really enjoy watching how you build up the drama in your sky scenes. Its encouraging to realise that you can put a number of different colours on the canvas or board to then push around and mess about with to form the pattern of sky your trying to achieve to your satisfaction. I really like also the freedom of expression that you get by utilizing this loose approach to developing a landscape. Thank you for demonstrating this method. I have tended to incorporate these lessons in my amateur painting style and actually produced a couple of paintings following your tuition and am quite pleased with the outcome. Thumbs up to you Stuart.

Stuart,hello from America. I love your voice, it works talking while your painting. I hope you'll do it again. I always enjoy watching u paint. Thank you sooo much . Stay well. God bless.

Never boring, but always helpful Stuart.

I Look the whole Video with Wine, cheese and bread. Then i am painting. Thank you for the Inspiration and the nice sunday evening.

I fell asleep the first view since my habit is to watch right before bed. I hope you know of ASMR, Stuart. But here I am again watching the 2nd time through to actually listen. I often view these 2 or 3 times. You’re very casual and encouraging which helps my anxiety knock it off while I’m trying to paint.

Enjoyed watching from start to finish

I don't care how many "uhms" there are, I love all of your paintings! They are delightful.

I'm still there at the end. Great work.

nice. helps gets me out of my current painting rut

I just have to go paint now!

I watched it in its entirely. Thank you.

The sky is beautiful!!!!

I certainly watched to the end, as always and rewatched several sections. Thank you very much, Stuart!

I watch all your videos to the end, but, being impatient, I watch at 1.25 speed. (I watch many others' videos at 1.5.) I often watch yours in two or three sessions, but it's a rainy, cool morning here, so I watched straight through, pausing only to refill my coffee mug. I don't paint in oil, so I can't apply all your techniques, but I enjoy visiting with you and absorbing your style, your approach to the art of painting. And I always remember to click Like.

It shows how gentle you hold the knife when you lost it to the cloud.

Start to finish a great tutorial. I always watch to the end and your voice is wonderful. There are many painting tutorials that are 2 plus hours. So I think people that want to learn watch the whole video.

Video was NOT too long. You are informative and entertaining enough to easily occupy an hour+. And doing them live is even better!

Thank you Stuart, I really enjoyed that. I understand that KZfaq encourages short videos, but i really appreciate an in depth length as I like to see the whole process, including palette and tissues and all the little things that I'm not aware of until I see them. I know that i often start watching a clip, not just yours, and then end up finishing watching on one of my other devices. I don't know if the analytics capture that, i'm not sure how the analytics works. But I am here to the end and thoroughly enjoying your talking while you paint, although I also like the voice over. you have a very soothing voice and you could probably recite the alphabet and I'd still enjoy it. I wish people would keep their opinions to themselves sometimes, as when they see things, like cats, it's a reflection on their internal workings rather than a valid opinion on someone else's creation. but that is just my opinion of course. :) you just keep being you and putting out great content. you are always an inspiration to me. Thank you

Just wonderful!

We could all keep listening to your voice for the entire day without any problem. Your videos are really like therapy to me, painting is therapeutic, and then adding your voice to it... It gets addictive. I found myself watching your videos back to back for a full day.. (yup, dont ask what I do with my life.)

I think this is my favorite so far. Incredible as always. Listening to your mind work is both entertaining and instructional. Thank you.

Love your sky painting demos and I always stay until the end. Don’t wasn’t to miss any of it. Thank you for sharing.

I picked up my first paintbrush on Mother’s Day 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic. I started with acrylic (cheaper and I had no clue what I was doing). Your videos have inspired me to buy my first oil paints and supplies, and I’ve been watching and learning from you for a couple of months now. I watch each of your videos to the end- you asked for feedback so there you have it. THANK YOU from someone who cannot afford formal lessons, I find great value and joy in learning from you.

Love the clouds, watched it to the end. You have helped me immensely with my journey into oil painting.

Enjoyed you talking while you paint. I did make it to the end! Beautiful clouds. Bravo!

Just watched the whole video and noticed an interesting speckled bit of paint in the landscape that I think could be useful in painting outback scenes in Oz.

I would really love to have a “ one on one “class with you someday! And by the way I watch all your videos from start to finish, it would be useless the other way

Stunning sky!

Love watching!!

Great!!! Watched from the beginning to the end... GREAT !!!

Your comments crack me up, a small dog with a handle, priceless. Thank you.

I love all of the lessons within the lessons...

Turner would be proud of you.

All the way to the end...loved it! Thank you

I watch from start to finish several times over. Enjoy immensely watching you work, learning from you and your wonderful dialogue. I always find your landscapes give me a feeling of going home and I thank you for that. Look forward to the landscape painting in this series.

Beautiful. I like when you paint and talk.

I watch all the way to the end...and love it!! Your voice and humor are a definite plus. Beautiful painting Stuart! Thank you!

Watching again, and maybe more than that! You make it look so easy, I am still trying! Thank you so much, love your skies, painting, and style.

Watched it all. Love your dry humor.

Clearly, youtube analytics are artificial and do not know REAL people who love and want to learn painting from excellent artists and instructors as Mr Davies is, and does! Not only watch to the end but again and again and again. Thank you, Stuart, for sharing so generously, lifting us all up with your beauty, skill and humor 💕🕊️🌏

Great to watch. Really liked that you talked while doing it 😁

This was a great lesson. Thank you! My main interest is painting landscapes, so I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I watched it in its entirety, as I always do with your videos. I've watched other painting videos by other artists, but most are not landscapes, so they lose me. I get notified when you post a video, and I try to watch them very soon afterwards.

watched it til the end!! Loved it ! Thank you.

I'm still here right to the end. I always watch your videos to the end, I do enjoy them, and your rye comments. Look forward to the next one, with your new camera.

Love watching you paint and love listening to you! It’s enjoyable. Thank you!

Love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Watched to the end! It’s my third time watching. Fascinating. Keep all the “ums”. Part of the charm All the best ! British Columbia Canada

Watched it speeded up to see if I liked the outcome :) then watched it to the end - struggled with stormy skies for nearly 2 years, but this is superb - very helpful, got hooked on your illusions of detail - thanks !

I’m 68 and teaching myself to paint. I enjoy it very much even though I know I’m only mediocre. Thank you so much for your videos. Your style of painting is exciting and dramatic. I want to learn to do that. So, yes, I watch the entire video!

I use the glass (with tape around the sharp edges ) from an old frame as a palet. It is easy to clean the paint off...scraping it off. Cheers!

Thank you so much for your talent, Stuart!!

I watched to the end & learned so much. Will probably watch again. Thank you!

Beautiful! Thank you, Stuart!

Thank you, I love watching your videos and yes I watch until the end.

Love it💗 beutiful colours,thank you🙏

Just lovely as always Stuart. Thanks

Thank you so much for this and all other videos. I love to listen to your narration or real time and stayed of course till the end and no worries about the extra words, am sure we are all here to learn. And I do still as I want to simplify my process. 🙏

Thank you, yes I watched the whole video - hoping to make a sky painting tomorrow! Lovely sky.

Watched to the end. Love the sky ❤

Watching to the end!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I like your running commentary! I learned a lot!

Stayed 'til the end (as usual). Great tutorial (as usual). You manage to create such interesting compositions effortlessly. A joy to watch, thank you.

As always, I watched the entire video. Thank you for this video.

Fantastisch, DANKE,DANKE

Always watch your videos love your skies and I watch the whole video

I watched from beginning to end. I really appreciate your teaching. Thank you so much.

Genius of tonalism!

I sent the video to a friend captioned-“this guy is fun!” I watched the entire video. Love your style! I’ll be watching more! ❤

Not boring at all. I was glued to it till the end , carry on Master

Love watching you paint. Never boring and yes I watch it all. Keep doing what you are doing 😊

Watched from beginning to end!
