Absolutely blew my mind how you painted "yellow" so accurately without yellow. Gotta love those greys. Thank you for the lesson!

Jordy, Yes, without yellow, you have to use the closest color to yellow within the gamut you set, which might be a gray. This happens all the time in film and photos, but we just aren't conscious of it. Notice what a red or yellow looks like in the middle of a blue-gray moonlight sequence in a movie. It may be a gray color objectively.

i wanna have some friends to say them "hey, guys, let's go to the city and paint the eff from it" and they like "okay man"

"So how are you going to paint taxi cabs?" "I have no clue." hahaha that cracked me up.

I really want to get back to painting on location. It's like I get stage freight. Overwhelmed by the fact that it's not already abstracted for me as a photo reference. But watching these videos is really inspirational and there's so many great tips you can pick up just by watching the process.

That was awesome! I so wish I had artist friends to paint with :/

Awesome. Thank you for sharing. Allowing us to see you progress has been a great inspiration. God Bless All of you as you go forth. I am on my way to New York with easel in tow, from Nevada...SMILE.

So cool.. I'm an artist, and I'm also a conductor on the Hudson line for metro north! I work trains from grand central to Poughkeepsie every day, so this is SO neat for me to see.. The paintings of the terminal, and passengers inside the bombardier coaches.. Totally made my day! Thank you for this video!

Gotta admit, I laughed when he propped up that behemoth canvas. Wasn’t laughing when he wrapped and started another lol

The off-screen voice asking “so how ya gonna paint taxi cabs?” Made me giggle a lot and I’m not sure why, she just sounds so cute

Darn I love James Gurney. Not only are you good at painting but your cinematic game is also on point...!

Beautiful painting Gurney! It's neat to me how you and the other fellow chose to paint the same angle, but they ended up looking so different. Both were nice, but I love your work.

Funky and quirky out. Absolutely beautiful city scene painting with the curved entrance and great metal bird structure on top. Love the hazy light falling on the cars.

Garin and I are both using a "pochade" box easel made by the Open Box M company in Cody, Wyoming. Glad you're enjoying the videos.

You are my own personal kind of bob ross man. Just amazing.

Wow James that's impressive and the colour scheme is awesome.

J.Bustamante. Brushes, paint, panel, palette, palette knife. It's funny, but I've forgotten at least one of those things on previous trips. One time when I forgot a palette knife I used a plastic spoon that I found in the gutter. Good idea to do a vid!

you've inspired me to try this. I love painting, but plein air brings up more possibilities. I need to find a group though. this can get intimidating quick.

Love, love ,love! You are all such amazing painters! ❤

I really enjoyed the video in NYC, I've never been there and the hustle and bustle was fun to see. The are work was wonderful. Thanks, Jean

Wow, what wonderful paintings. They really captured the essence of NYC at that busy corner. I spent many years walking into and out of that part of Grand Central Terminal. Great memories. Thanks for this video/lesson. I would love to own one of those paintings.

Great to hear from you, BJ. Your observation is right on. I was trying to alternate the blue against the red as my warm vs. cool.

One thing I really admire is an artist who can lay down a solid block of value, tone and form! You guys all do that. It's a pleasure to watch guys who get it right!

It's nice to have a group of friends that have the same interests as you.

Sue, that's an "Open Box M" easel, which fits on a regular camera tripod. It comes in a variety of sizes.

So fun to watch over and over, fast-fwd, rewind--"ooh, look at that"--"what's that surface?" "note the brushes, arrangement of paints" and all really beautiful results. And thank you for the watch for keeping time too. Gives a newbie things to aim for. : )

Great inspiration, as usual! Beautiful painting,,,And I love the Mobil shirt!

Painting in NYC is a blast, a whole different kind of energy than sitting out in nature and letting the energy of nature come up though you. In the city it is a bombardment of another level of input, distraction, excitement, stimulation. I like the comment, "starving the palette" very cool indeed. Love the paintings, brave voyage into the grinding metro! BTW cool shirt, "Al"!

Very good! Great artists, with the supreme Gurney.

Amazing, such an interesting video. Its the same place and so many different paintings. Very interesting to see, thank you.

Wow. That is amazing to be able to just paint what you see...and to be brave enough to do it in front of other people! I'm a fan Mr.

This is still one of my favorite videos on your channel

Thank you for such an entertaining and informative channel. Love these videos.

Great artist James Gurney, congratulations on your paintings. You are a great draftsman and painter. I really enjoy your videos practicing plein air. José de Jesus

You guys are too good!

Wow this is my first time seeing James paint in oil!!!

1. That Mobil shirt is class, and I want one. 2. Your painting of yellow without yellow is Bruce Lee's "The art of fighting without fighting". Absolute master flex.

I WILL START PAINTING. Omg, you guys inspired me so much. Thank you and bless you. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Phenomenal work. Can't wait to take class with you.

Really instructive.Mr James uses only five tubes and could make a wonderful harmony.Thank you.

I really liked your style James.

It's so immediate, and gives you such a sense of time... Portraiture does that for me....

Wonderful video! So many wonderful paintings among friends ❤☺🎨

Loved your shirt "Al".

you're so talented! love your paintings!

That's a Schmincke mini watercolor set and a Caran d'Ache water-soluble colored pencil. Very portable.

how much fun is that !! i will be painting this weekend now, thanx, wonderful....

It's nice to hve friends to do plen air together.

Love your videos. This looks so much fun =) a bunch of friends and painting!

James you are awesome.....

God bless you beautiful, magnificent city, and God bless us all. Stay safe!

I really like your work, stylish work and if not your video clips as well! are very well filmed, I practice acrylic and precisely it is a real pleasure to discover your method, very often I see that your starting diagram in your sketches, disappears with the first touches of paint ... and !! !? what surprises me !? is that you always find yourself to finalize everything! well done artist with a fair eye!

Beautiful!

I like the candid shots of the city people. I can tell you like shooting video as well. Attention to detail is nice in video and paint

Awesome paintings!

Wonderful work!

That was a real treat

Nice work, Al. Thanks for sharing.

Great job guys!

That is a beautiful painting.

Brings back memories when I used to ride the metro north from grand central station every morning for work

Amazing!

What a peaceful location to paint:)

We love stuff like this post more!

Nice work, and great video! I'm trying to build up some courage to work outdoors. I have sat for hours sketching and loved it, but painting seems a little scarier!

Brilliant Work...

PARABENS AOS ARTISTAS, MUITO BOM .......EXCELENTE......

this is awesome! :P Plain air painting rulezzzzzzz

loved grand central!...wish i was there to paint with you!...if you're ever out near los angeles give me a shout, Malibu beaches are always fun!

Beautiful

Love the red colour

I'd really love to try doing this sometime. It's a bit harder being a younger artist because you can't exactly go everywhere or anywhere you want to, but I suppose my local library is a good place to start!

Great vid James. I love the sights and sounds of Manhattan and your video really takes me back. Someday I hope to do some plein air work there too! The paintings you all did are wonderful. Thanks for introducing me to Garin's work...I'm going check out his web site and blog next. Happy painting, Scott Fort Collins, CO

wow - that looked fun to do.

Simpaticissimo questo video e bravi i pittori complimenti!!

I need to pluck up the courage to do this. You are so brave! =)

Awesome!

Just call me "Al"!...haha... Love that Mobile shirt. Also am loving all these video's tho I'm late coming to them. Such great lessons to learn and examples of what can be done with these different mediums. Thanks man!

Very nice!!!!!👍👍👍👍 Im not an artist but I love your channel for its relaxing qualities👏👍

excellent stuff

James Gurney is the Chuck Norris of fine art

This one was really enjoyable

Garin! Nice video and fine work as always! Fred

This is one of my favorite videos James. Any chance if you ever see this, I'd love to hear your thought process when you are trying to create the yellow that you don't have? Cool down the entire pallette? What options come up in your mind, and what do you end up doing/why? I'd love to hear!

Excellent painting sir ❤❤❤❤

Lol I love how you painted the last person by meticulously sneaking peeks!

Great little video!!!

Aw man, now I wanna go to New York to paint

Nice video..and art!

fantastic bravo

Linseed oil works great for lots of things, but I haven't tried it yet for squeaks. How about olive oil?

Amazing

nice shirt james!

stunning and impressive! Would have loved to paint with you there :D

WOW!!

You should do a timelapse sometime!

Wow! And I think plein air painting out in the quiet countryside is a challenge just to capture a scene before the light changes. The noise and bustle in NYC's belly of the whale would take extra concentration, I think.

Did you forget your gouaches, James?...☺ Just kidding but, funny thing, after watching dozens (and dozens) of your videos, I believe it is the first time I see you painting with oils! Guaranteed awesome result, whatever the medium!👍

Wunderschöne.Danke für die schönen Video Entertainment.grüsse from Bayern- Germany

awesome
