Nice work. Longest showcasing of the end result ever. I thought my computer had frozen.

Dear Michael, thank you so much for your podcasts. The fact is that I became an artist more than 25 years ago, I have a Russian school. I'm your age, by the way. But I haven't worked with paints for about 10 years. Self-employment, computer design, photoshop, Corel painter, web design - I applied all my God-given creative abilities in my personal business, and this gave me money and freedom - I was not mistaken in this, I have a free life and I, like you, have a great BMW. But art, more precisely, the fact that I have moved away from my origins has been bothering me all these years. And recently, about 3 months ago, I started watching your videos. And you brought me back for the easel! Again, as in the 1990s, I greedily mix oil paints, passion for accurate, precise work - everything came back in a couple of weeks, and as then, the same wonderful mood and lightness in my soul. I have 14 paintings in my work now, the process is going on as before 👍 Now the search for a motive for a new picture worries me much more than news and world politics. And it's thanks to you, Michael. I live in Russia, from which I cannot buy a subscription on your website, but as soon as the opportunity arises, I will be your student. Despite my many years of experience, I really like your technique, I started working with it even faster and more. Thank you very much, my friend!

I really like being able to see the photograph you're working from. It helps me to see how you find the midtones for your underpainting, and seeing how you create all the details, but also change some things to make a more interesting composition. Like making the river have less rocks and more water, makes the scene in the painting much better.

Thank you for teaching us this realistic pretty grass. I've never seen the rigger brush used; so many brush strokes, all worth it!!

Absolutely the best painter at nature fotorealism here on YT.

Mesmerising detail. It hurts me to watch you paint it. Well done on another flawless painting Michael. Your brushes look great!

Сколько нужно терпения и желания, чтобы прорисовать каждую травинку! Спасибо Вам за Ваш талант и желание поделиться с нами своим мастерством❤😊

This is mesmerising! What an incredible talent. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

I'm always amazed by your wonderful mastery brushstrokes! Thanks for sharing these beautiful pieces. 😊

I'm crazy about details but I know there's so much work before. Oil painting is magic and so is your ability.

Michael thanks your helping a lot I almost forgot everything in paintings world I didn’t painting any more I lose the practice,thanks to your videos I started to enjoy again in my retirement days yes a I am older 79 years old but my paints start to looking good

Спасибо за урок, друг! Очень правдо подобно! 👍🙂

Very real...🤙👌

7:11 I was wondering what you did to prevent your arm from getting tired from painting all that grass, the slidey arm rest is brilliant. I often have to paint fine details close to the edge and have nothing to steady my arm on so I support it with my other hand, I might make something like that.

Greeting Art from Indonesia master🙏

Molto bravo

Mr. Smith, how long does it usually take you to finish one of these paintings? I could never achieve something like this amazing work.

My hope this or a version of it, becomes an online lesson,

Que buena pintura god

Wow sir extent that s real nature painting sir

Brilliant! I really have been looking for a more in depth explanation on how to create realistic grass, so thank you very much! Can you do a snowy landscape some time and explain how you do that? I find I end up playing with different shades, but the details are a bit more challenging.

wow

Tremendous

Beautiful work sir , how to mix the color of dead grass

FANTASTYCZNE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

احسنت يا فنان

كم هو جميل الماء الانسيابي يبين الأحجار من خلاله غير عميق الحشائش المريحة المنظمة من جمالها كادت دمعي تنزل ألا سلمت يداك

Adoro suas aulas ,gostaria que tivesse a tradução para o português

What type or kind of board your using to paint on?

👍

I am a relativly new artist that fell into the craft in trying to find a constructive means to deal with grief and I just found you, and am wondering if I can adapt your lessons and techniques to acrylic painting? Thank you.

What type of hair is that fan brush made out of????

How long do you paint a canvas like this? How big is this screen?

What is that thing your resting your hand on while painting?

So when you block in your painting first, its not just a solid mid-tone - you vary the mid-tones it looks like. Am I right? for example, your blocked in grass looks like variations of mid tones. Are your lessons on your website all oil or are there acrylic lessons as well? You are the most amazing artist on you tube!

Are the materials used, are they watercolor or oil?

Is this level of detail and precision possible with acrylic? I as a beginner and using acrylic can't replicate the same way. No rigger brush here though.
