Painting is like meditative and good for your health and maybe why you feel better when you are painting

The video I watched, when I first found this channel, is when you just found out you were sick. You sound a lot better. Just the name of the heart problem sounds like a grim prognosis. Glad you're doing well. Your technique yields paintings that look like the old masters works. Thanks for sharing in such detail. 👍

Thank you, Stuart. - That's a great tree trunk, and I love the landscape behind it. Apart from that, you don't bore us, neither with explanations nor with the demonstrations of your skills. I'm going to watch part two, whenever you load it up. ❤

Wow. I woke up (Canada), turned on youtube, and an alert appears to show a new Stuart Davies video! This is going to be a beautiful day indeed :-)

Thanks for another great video, also, and I think I speak for everyone, when I said we do like when you talk about your health since its something we care about... And we will keep sending good vibes so you feel better every day...

I am lookking forward to part 2 !

Amazing. I hope you have a complete recovery. Thank you for your generosity

Absolutely brilliant, I’ve learnt a lot from this video. Nothing you do is boring, exciting to learn from a master. I wish you the best of health. Thank you for generously sharing your talent.

THANK YOU AGAIN STUART. Inspiring as usual. Please keep healthy. Looking forward to more joyful hours from you painting in years to come.

I have the heart failure and a-fib and getting tired interfers with my painting. I'm fascinated with your style.

Wonderful and you also are so funny. Pure entertainment and a terrific teacher. Thank you Stuart 🤗

Wonderful as always. Thank you. Glad you are feeling better...your voice is much stronger.

I get so excited when I get an alert about your painting. I am from Canada and after i saw the video all I can do is look at trees and their texture when i am outside now. I know what you mean when you talk about feeling worn out .and painting does the same for me and gives me calmness. I love the way you give your audience permission to go crazy with the brush and feel free to create, Keep up the wonderful work you are doing and stay well.

I always look forward to your paintings. They never disappoint.

Just sent a painting home with my daughter from Ohio to N Carolina. Your instructions were invaluable for the enjoyment and success of the landscape. The sky and clouds were amazing with such little effort. Thank you.

Do what you love and love what you do! What a pleasure and privilege to watch you in action, doing what you love. All the tricks to create superb detail. Thank you once again for sharing your know how with us Stuart! God bless.

ANOTHER MOST BEAUTIFUL LESSON!

I have just finished your video and I must say that after watching this last one l feel truly inspired. The tree was amazing thank you so much,and for all your work over the the last three years or so 😊

I also have learned much more than I thought I would by just watching!

Your technique is natural, and I emulate this type of painting as a new oil painter. You said painting allowed you to 'relax' and not dwell on your current heart health. I say PAINT DAILY and follow your doc's recommendations. We love you, the universe loves you ! Take care of yourself, the rest will follow...🤗 I am young too, at 61, I feel it coming but my goal is to live for the moment and while in it, I PAINT, and take my doctors advice (to a degree)...

my painting practice was forever changed after I learned that the *suggestion* of a detail is just as effective as detail itself. Fantastic work Stuart, another thoroughly enjoyable and informative video, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for inspiring me to pick up my brushes and start painting again. Paolo, South Africa

I have been temporarily blinded by a severe eye infection over the past month, and I really MISSED you (and my painting) so VERY much! I hope YOU have been back to feeling better, and thanks for ALL the wonderful videos you've created to share with us passionate artists! ❤

A strong wonderful tree !!!! Thank you, Stuart Davies❤

Поразительная техника! Вы просто гений!

I have learned so much in this video. I copy pictures when I paint. You have shown me a much better way. Imagination. Thank you so much. Kate.

Enjoying watching you bring some texture out on that tree with the paper. Trying to learn to do that. Thanks and also looking forward to part 2!

Hello Stuart,from Houston Texas .A mess made into a master plan,i love ❤️ how you just throw some dark paint on canvas.And create something so genuine.Something only you could pull off.And the way you mesmerized your audience,with your deep conversation,you are a man a head of his time i would love to take one of your classes.Thank you so much for sharing your time and your wisdom.

This is just great. Love watching snd soon will try it. Thank you so much. I love your comments and you are not boring.

This was a highlight of my day to see a new video come out. I learn more each time I watch your collection. Thanks again for sharing your talents and inspiration

Master Stuart, it is a pleasure to learn through your work. Thanks congratulations

I love watching your process. Thanks so much for sharing it. I’m looking forward to part 2.

I think I'm speechless! 😱 Most Amazing to watch this Tree be "born" and grow into at least an 80 year old stoic Beauty! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I Love to draw trees. So when you mentioned it, I was like, yeah right. It would take months to achieve what you did in this video. But I do understand what you meant. I'll keep trying. Sorry that your health gets in the way. Mine does too, it's my brain. One day you're fine and the next you're not. What a weird way to live. But art gets us thru. Also, instant subscribe, I must see more of your work!

You've a little disc just above the horizon and to the right of the tree Stuart. It suggests either a pre dawn moon or a post dusk sun which I think fits in perfectly with the mood of the whole. Always a pleasure to share with you how your work almost appears instead of being worked at. Well done once again.

Fantastic! Can't wait to see part 2.

Great video and discussion of what's happening. The textures are great!

Another Stuart Davies wonderful painting! When I start to paint like you, I’m not going to share a single secret, and make people think I’m brilliant! I love the idea of applying your approach to a wall mural. It’s perfect for a lovely roomscape.

A beautiful tree full of character. Your whipping frenzy reminds me of a certain John Cleese & a poor defenceless car !

I have learned so much watching your videos from South Africa. Thank you.

Your funny new words always make me laugh! Thank you for all your wonderful videos😊

Thank you Stuart it's beautiful.

Love the raw roughness of this ONE ... You convey your years of knowledge in an understandable relatable way. Doesn't mean my paintings come out like yours, but I'll keep on trying. I'm sad to hear you've not been well, tiredness is so draining.... Eat very well, sleep well, nap in the day...keep on teaching... Debbie NZ

Deferably a great tree wots purrfect for the I. Cheers mate!

You're the Best Stuart!!

Just watched this video for the second time as I have been struggling with creating a similar painting. You are such a great help Stuart! Answering the questions that I had in my mind for how to move forward with this. It’s wonderful to draw upon your experience! Thank you again.❤

Thank you so much Stuart. I'm glad you're energy is better than it was, though sorry to know you're unwell. The big painting sounds like it would be amazing. This picture is so lovely, and the instruction is extremely helpful. I love your style, attitude, and philosophy. Thank you, as always.

Marvellous, always learning and totally absorbed when you paint.

This video inspires me cerntainly to paint such a tree, but before I start I want to see the second part of this video. This is a super cool tree with an equally super cool tutorial. I am absolutely fascinated by this technique of painting a tree and I believe that this is a video that I will come back to again and again. I and all the admirers of your great talent and teachings really want you to take care of yourself and your health, because that is the most important thing. Many thanks for sharing this great tutorial!

Thank you so much, Stuart! This is a marvelous video. I believe it is one of my favorites! I learned so much. I have been looking forward to an in depth video on trees! Thank you!!! Looking forward to part two….👏👏👏💚💚💚💚

Okay I can exhale now, another valuable demonstration from my mentor / tutor. 🙏💕❤️👽

Thank you. jI always learn something watching you. Take good care Stuart.

ty Stuart. Very nice work.

Always amazed, you never disapoint in the 3 years of dicovery. Thanks as always🙏

Stuart you are truly an artist,i start watching your video and i have to continue until the end,it’s so captivating.THANK YOU SO HELPFUL.

Thank you Stuart, another super lesson.

LOOOOVE the latin names for the weeds :). It is fascinating how many intricate textures you can create with just a piece of paper towel. At one point, the tree trunk reminded me of muscles, tendons and veins inside a human anatomy. It's beautiful.

Always amazing

I love the painting, is beautiful as is. I be waiting to see the second part. Thank you for such a wonderful explanation !!!!!

Dear Stuart. Watching you is more beautiful than any meditation. It calms me down, it makes me happy to attend Master's work. It couldn't be more beautiful. Absolutely magnificent works of art! Thank you for that...

Instructive and entertaining. These videos continue to encourage my own early oil painting work. Much appreciated.

Wow, it's a very amazing and very moving piece ~~~ ^^💘💘👍👍👍

Great as usual.

Keep up the excellent and exciting painting. So enjoy everything you upload a new video and love listening to your thought process while going threw the painting.

Interesting and very nice work. I like the idea of the trunk in foreground and, only the trunk. Always great to watch. Thank you.

Extraordinary it looks so lifelike, looking forward to part 2

Wonderful as ever Stuart. Keep them coming,❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You are the best!!!!! Love your style of teaching.

Thanks Stuart. I really enjoyed this tutorial, a awesome way to do a tree trunk. I paint with acrylics but still learn a heck of a lot from the way you compose as you go. This was a great way to spend some time, watching someone with your experience and skill do your “thing”. Thanks again, look after yourself and see you next time.😀 😎🇦🇺🦘

I have watched this a few times, particularly from 45 min to 58:30, as that’s when you explain how you achieve the finished look of a foreground with rich colored ground cover, how to achieve contrast and the look of grasses, foliage, seed pods, and then go back to add the colors after this portion has dried, to add hints of colored flowers, etc. You have a beautiful painting of a gorgeous tree trunk with red and blue flowers in the foreground of mostly transparent red oxide, & I really wanted to know how you’d achieved it. It sounds silly, but I’m over the moon at the idea of giving it a try 👩🏻‍🎨. I would never know how to do any of this if it weren’t for you Professor. If I were there, I’d give you such a firm happy slap on the back, you’d go flying 😜

That was so instructional, especially regarding twiggery! Fabulous painting 👏

Thank you. It amazes me seeing what you achieve in so short a time! I'll try to rake up the courage to give it a go.!!

Another beautiful painting lots of great lessons. I love your work. I'm still learning and just about ready to start trying to follow you. Thank you for sharing

I Enjoy your painting so much you have thought me im so happy and grateful for your teaching..God bless you..I love you voice ❤

Thank you very much for a stunning painting. I look forward to seeing what you do with it next time.

Thank you Stuart for a fantastic lesson again . You are so humble and your voice is soothing and honest ! Wishing you the best of health .

I really enjoy the effortless quality of your work!! Thank you for another clip, Stuart!

Another top job. Will be watching closely for part 2. Do your breathing exercises to grow your own breath. Works. The time goes by anyway. Good show.

I am a very big fan of your paintings. It's always pleasure to look at your videos and your technique!!! It was an amazing paint! I am curious to see the part 2😊. Thank you! Greetings from Bulgaria!!!

Beautiful. Thank you Mr. Davies

Stunning and inspiring connection with earth ❤

Thank you so much !!! This is wonderful

Going to be looking out for the second part. I started as a natural??? Oil painter. Done acrylics and watercolour the past few years... But I am happy to see that you have combined all the positives o in the various mediums and make oil painting feel like a coming home. I absolutely love style and thank you from the bottom of my heart for these instructional tutorials. Big fan from South Africa xxxx

Just discovered you painting my greatest love, a tree! Great video and may you have the strength to continue for a long time since it seems to help you breath. In final stage of BPCO and I have just started learning, I forget about everything when doing it. Thank you. O from Switzerland.

Belíssima textura
