Please don’t worry about making your videos the highest quality possible. That’s not why we watch. We are here because of you. We feel like we’re joining in on your work. Your sweet, friendly personality is welcoming . More videos would be preferred to higher quality. ❤

Ditto what Judi said below, I watch your videos because of YOU, not your video production expertise! Your weekly snippets of your life and the ways you experiment creatively give me so much joy and inspiration. You don't need anything fancier that what you've got, I promise!!

Without resorting to cliches, I want you to know how much your cheerful videos mean to 'all'. Not to mention the inspiration to just get in there, and do the work. Thank you, Gaynor.

I love your energy and enthusiasm. The quality of the actual video doesn’t deter from what you’re conveying.

Hi Gaynor, Don't go forking out for an expensive camera unless you really want to. Your video quality and style are absolutely fine. Your spontaneity in filming and art are what I love about you. Thank you. ❤

I so look forward to Thursdays and your cheerful videos. You have so many exciting ideas, it really encourages me to think along different lines when painting, usually in watercolour. The pear cards inspired me to think outside of the box. You are the sunlight on this grey October morning. Thank you.

Lots of fun ❤ Yeah, sometimes the zoom isn’t great but pffffft 😂 I like that, it is part of your joy and enthusiasm to show us your art and it adds to your excitement, like you want to show us so much you can’t hold it still enough to zoom before you are off to show us something else that excites you. I think of it as a demonstration of your personality which I personally love ❤

I haven’t had a problem with the quality of the videos, I watch on an iPad maybe that makes a difference. I’ve been watching for about a month now and I’ve worked my way through all the videos, I think you have become more comfortable in front of the camera. I watch because your enthusiasm is contagious and I like the butterfly nature of your practice. I do this and think it helps to cogitate😉 thank you so much for sharing❤️

It seems a long time from Thursday to Thursday. Love your videos! Would love to see more actual painting

Hi Gaynor thankyou for all your lovely videos, every week you keep on giving you're a ray of sunshine in a gloomy world right now 😄.

Your energy and positivity are always inspiring 😊. And both are embodied in your fabulous artworks.

Never have a problem with your videos but I usually grab my iPhone and watch you there. Your great spontaneity and cute resolve are plenty for me to enjoy and get inspired for a new idea, keep doing what you are doing and please, please don’t lose your witty and jovial format, we love u!

Hi Gaynor, thanks for inviting us once again into your creative life. It's fun to see and hear about your art practice and get a look at your cute outfits! I had to chuckle about the comment on your video quality (not making fun but relating to it) as I have gotten all manner of comments about my inability to articulate clearly in the videos I make. Clearly, you are doing something right as so many of us enjoy watching you!

More wonderful inspirational work, love the 2 abstracts you framed and woody woodpeckers amorous drilling, I love to hear that echoing through the woods. Don't change the way you do things Gaynor you wouldn't be your authentic self, gloves are optional! Have a lovely week xx

Good morning.... just starting to watch this morning's video at 8am, so a bit late... what a delight. Over last week I've been binge watching previous ones.... so much energy and inspiration... thank you Gaynor. And i love reading other subscriber's comments and tips xx

Thanks Gaynor, for your fab videos. As a 'tight' painter, who is really starting to enjoy more abstract art, you (and Sandi Hester) are helping me to loosen up my style. It's quite hard to let go of perfectionism, but I'm finding exploring with paint and going with the flow very freeing. It's so surprising to see what happens.

I loved this lush & lovely episode - so fun to see such an abundant display of your colorful work but you're going to need another cabin soon! I've watched every episode since your beginning & want to thank you for brightening every Thursday morning for me.

Dear Gaynor, yet again, another wonderful video sharing. This one gave me a jolly good chuckle, as I’m constantly rearranging my studio, trying to find better ways to organize my work and supplies. My little dumping ground moves around my studio as if there are little fairies having a grand time of it. Thank you for sharing this part of what we do as artists. 🌟💕🌟🌿

You have such a kinetic and eclectic energy, thank you for sharing a small part of your creative process!

Hi Gaynor~ Found you while in Ireland…. You Europeans are so optimistic, happy and thought provoking. I love your beautiful energy and your style. Thank you for putting yourself out there. I learn so much from you each week. You are a treasure! Xoxo

Love a big clean...But what to do when you've tired yourself out after a big clean and then don't want to do anything else?😄 Lots of smiles watching you in your 'Art Space.' Loved the homebrew blue. Excited to see more abstract piece again! ♥♥♥

Gaynor, you need another cabin! One for all your artwork and one for your supplies! I think your videos are very good quality. Goodness knows what people think of mine! I love to see your artwork displayed around the cabin and that you let things be for a while before deciding what a painting 'needs'. I think your big paper artwork that you were going to cut into smalls looks good as a BIG! After turning it upside down, you will see areas to potentially work on and as you say maybe not cut into very smalls. You have warmed me up for the day so thank you! I am off to cut up some paper! Have a lovely week. x

Love your videos, your art, your enthusiasm, your inspiration and also your flair for fashion - everything you wear is put together so well ! (I recall you saying you did something in fashion, wish I had your flair !!) 🤗

Hello Gaynor, thank you so much for your free content! i love your uniqueness and all that you share (i'm an artist too, and i'm finishing up a class on how to start a YT channel to share my art too)... i felt compelled to say that i hope you don't feel obligated to upgrade your equipment (this is a never ending spiral in my opinion)... i love that you are uniquely you and you don't need to do anything different... you are providing free content to us and if people are having issues with their computer... that's not something that you can control nor should you. :) please don't feel pressure to "keep up with the jones". lots of love to you! Kari...

Lovely informative video really enjoyed it as always. Learn so much from your never ending enthusiasm. Don’t change anything! ❤️❤️❤️

Greetings from Boston, Gaynor! I love your videos, all the ideas they give me, the myriad aspects of them which keep them so interesting, and your upbeat vibe. I am enamored with your studio and its multiple work areas. I see nothing wrong with the video quality 99% of the time, and the few little times it isn't perfect don't bother me a bit. Thanks for providing so much to see and think about.

Don’t worry at lol about any camera quality etc. I am just ever so grateful for your giving of time and effort in sharing your life in these videos.

Thank you Gaynor 🙏🏻I love your energy it gives me so much inspiration to just play with my art. I so look forward to your videos 👏🏻☺️💕

Gaynor 🤗 I get that you would want to be on a path of improvement with your channel but as non technical viewer I haven’t any issues with your editing, your message and content style is so natural and encouraging, I find you so inspiring because I’m a perfectionist verging on obsessive and your laid back approach so encourages me to lighten up, keep up the good work

❤ 1:03 love the spontaneous spirit. 🎉 That's somewhat how my day goes too.

I just wanted to say that I’ve really been enjoying your videos. Very inspiring and uplifting. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your week with us! I am so grateful that artists are willing to do this. I have watched a lot of youtube videos and I hope you can trust that yours are wonderful! I like that you are constantly inspired by the things in your everyday life and travels. Like a pear! I also think that your editing is delightful. Also, I love rooibos tea!

I agree the quality is fine we're not all steven Spielbergs we're arty folk who love your videos for your inspiration and bubbly personality! One request, I would love to see you painting that abstract from start to as near finish. To see the marks you make etc, that would be really useful as sometimes it can be hard to know how to start an abstract. Thanks Gaynor, im relatively new to your channel so catching up, but loving it and now have an urge to visit Tumbridge Wells! Ruth x @ruthmottramart

Beautiful inspiring Art. Thank you.

Gràcies, gràcies i gràcies.❤❤❤❤❤

I think your videos are wonderfully clear! Don’t worry your lovely head about a new camera. I am having a ball this week. I have been making a mosaic still life with acrylic on watercolor paper pieces cut to size. I’m so pleased with it. It just popped into my head! I think watching you has really helped me loosen up. I have various things going on, all experimental. Such fun and I am still going to my pastel class.

Im going to play with the blues today. love mixing! thanks for sharing..hello from a canadian artist in Panama 🇵🇦

Thursday morning has become my favorite because I know your video will be up. I love your cabins and all the space and light you have. Of course the work is inspiring and I really like the Wedgewood blue. I hope you have a good week. TFS

A less verbose way to say it. Your video’s are perfectly imperfect ❤

Interesting color mixing...Marabeth Quin Art😊

I always look forward to your videos! You may have moved on from mixing Wedgwood blue… but try Prussian Blue (said to be Napoleon’s favorite shade) with white. So dreamy!

Love that you're enjoying Rooibos, now I feel quite at home feel like a bit of South africa is in your studio. Love the colour mixing.

I'm watching you in Canada, west coast, 11:15 pm and your energy is so infectious, I probably won't be able to sleep! So pleased that I seem to be the first to like your latest video. Love each one. Thank you!

First time in ages I've waited until after Thursday to watch your post which causes me to wonder, "what is happening to me????!!!! That said, while I appreciate Matt's contribution and I'm sure it was well intended (and now I'm wondering why I'm dwelling on it), I think you have to ask yourself a question, "Is the energy and investment in creating a more technically perfect video worth the return?" Your brand is chaotic, less than perfect videos which focus on your process, accomplishments and life. As an incredibly dedicated Gaynor fan, I don't need anything more at this point. You make it o.k. to be less than perfect. You make it wonderful to know that it's o.k. to be distracted, to move from one thing to another, to show work that you're still struggling with. I have actually unsubscribed from a few channels that got caught up in the polished production - not that I would do that here - but Gaynor, for the love of god, just continue being you!!! As I close I want to emphasize, this is NOT being critical of Matt for noticing something that is obviously within his/her expertise, I'm sure it was well intended and is good information for you to consider. ♥♥♥

I needed this Gaynor inspiration this morning 😊

I have five or so mins left of my break and you’ve inspired me to have a go in my sketchbook today

Hi and thanks for this video❤ soo inspiring. And so fun to see your loose artstyle. Love it. See you soon i hope. Take care.

I like that Wedgewood blue painting

I enjoy your work, I do abstract art and have always used a modern frame. It's a good idea to use an ornate frame 😀 looking forward to how it will look. I'm going to look for an ornate frame, paint it white,see what happens! Thanks again for your video

Always delightful to watch. I haven't noticed any issues with focus, my auto on YT is showing 480P so that's two steps below the highest resolution. Looks good from my end. Love all of your works and the studio tidy (I do enjoy a good tidy up.) I was very disappointed yesterday when I woke up and thought, "Oh goodie it's Thursday!" only to realize it was only Wednesday :-) But, I did gain an extra day!

I watch you on my laptop and your videos are clear as can be. Love your channel

Perhaps, at the end of the day you could analize what actually gets put in the dumping ground by catagory ; then put some labeled baskets there. You then could make a habitat of dumping in the appropriate basket . It would be tidy and easy to put away at end of day! X

I love your video's thank you for them. I love seeing how you blend the paints and see your paintings. Have a great week.

Thank you for another lovely 🥰 video Gaynor. I especially loved the quote from one of your viewers, just what I needed to hear this morning 👍 x x

I love you i love your videos. I dont often comment as im sure you are snowed under with remarks. However i adore your work and always always look forward to Thursday mornings..... i ts Gaynor video day Thankyou. ❤❤❤

I really love your paintings. You're not far from me and advance notice of your next exhibition would be great as I'd love to come and see them in the flesh. (Fellow SEOS).

Video quality is fine in every way 👍😎

Thank you for another enjoyable video Gaynor! I don't think you need to feel pressured into spending a lot of money on a better camera - if you can bring the camera closer to the work you're showing us, and it's in good enough light, it will be absolutely fine. It's the zooming in the edit afterwards that's the problem. I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that due to the size the videos have to be for KZfaq, even expensive cameras won't help that much. I make my youtube videos on a Canon G7X, which should be good enough for the price, but zooming in afterwards never looks good. Sorry! Anyway; love your videos regardless!

You are such a breath of fresh air , l love your loose style . I have been teaching art and an artist for a lifetime it seems . I work completely different from you . But you are inspiring me to loosen up. I’m sharing you with everyone

Gaynor I just LOVE all your videos. I find your art room so inspiring & the light you have is fantastic. Love your energy. Did you attend college to study Art or are you a self taught artist? I have ordered the Hockney book you found at the used bookstore. I am64 yo &I live in USA in Ohio. have just recently started painting again in Watercolor but watching you I am inspired to get my Acrylics out. Inspiration is everywhere we look we just have to see with fresh eyes. Thank You

Always look forward to Thursdays, you inspire me ! I've just recently cropped up a large landscape and it's worked out a treat ! ❤❤❤❤

YOUR VIDEOS ARE MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH XXX

❤❤❤❤Good morning

Gaynor have you tried using the silicone colour shaper tools?? I avoided them for ages but they're a greet addition for Mark making and layers!

Hello Gaynor, I just want to reiterate what others have said about your videos, and the fact that your energy, enthusiasm, personality and effervescence are what enthral us, not the quality of the videos in terms of what the camera can achieve. An upgrade would never not be enjoyed, obviously, but is certainly not imperative. Love the cabin btw. Have a lovely week💐

Not only entertainment do we get....but to C the the thinking process of organization😅. When U visit Fla. Plz help, my art stuff is everywhere 😮... Adding complimentary colors ...even to the env degree...changes visual perspective. Get a cordless mic my volume is on hi yet still have to read the transcript. Ann

Hi Gaynor - another fab vlog. We're taking some time away in the Lake District and the 'inspo' is amazing. I love tha A1 sheet from which you are taking 'smalls' 😃. Regarding your resolution, as you know it's only an issue when you zoom in at the point of editing. Does your phone record 4k video/photos? Our last video was exclusively recorded on my iphone 12 (edited with iMovie on Mac) If you're recording in 4k you can get away with a slight zoom in post, but as you suggested, take photos of work you want to zoom in on and drop them on top of your timeline as you are talking about them when editing. Your style of 'vlog' suits recording from a phone. Hope this is useful. - Rich

I feel I reorganise all the time! Good Luck. Wish I had the space you have. Where do you get indigo acrylic paint?

I have no trouble with your videos.

Gaynor, have you ever thought of varifocals??? I love mine. ❤️

Don’t laugh at me too hard, I was wondering what the significance of the capital J was on the painting behind you and then it disappeared. Just a tripod. Haha 😅
