when you see his work process you can't help but fall a bit in love!

I have just watched the full version of Jim's video and having produced over 100 of our "Painting & Travel with Roger & Sarah Bansemer" television shows for PBS, I can say without hesitation that Jim has masterfully created a masterful video. It not only is very interestingly filmed and edited flawlessly to keep the attention of the viewer but the content flows from one step to the next showing and describing the process of creating the finished artwork. A real behind the scenes look. This is the kind of video that is so nicely produced, I can watch it over and over and find something new each time.

So you're the guy that Torvosaurus gurneyi was named in honor of. Amazing

My money is yours, nothing better than learning from the master. I have both of your instructional books and they are phenomenal.

Excellent video as usual, James. Beautifully done content and video production!

This man is a master, a modern genius of visuals.

Daaaamn!! The amount of dedication and time put into this is unreal, i wish i had that much patience and willingness to practice every single day.

Thank Mr. Gurney for the great videos! Just bought the 40 min version excited to see more.

I love the enthusiasm you have in making these videos and your art. There are so many moments that make me smile. Thanks!

Good to see you again, my friend. And always fascinating to see another artist's technique while at work. Like Vermeer, you paint with light, which I so admire.

Oh this is fantastic, I love how that painting turned out. I can't wait to see the 40 minute one

LOVED!! And the process is beautiful to watch.. great piece of art!

My mother told me, ever scene I was only 2 years old, I found a love for dinosaurs. As time goes by my love for dinosaurs grows, and only a year or two later a passion for art soon developed. My goal in life it to get to where you are, or be a paleontologist, or anything around those lines, I'm still young though, only 13, soon to be 14 so when I tell my teachers and classmates what I want to be, most don't know what that even is, usually giving me a little laugh. My family has and always will support me though my journey. I will say I have a large collection of dinosaur fossils, and figures. I'm mainly just trying to say that you inspire me, and your art work is absolutely beautiful, please never stop doing these beautiful works of art. - Elizabeth Wolfe

I just finished the longer video and it was great! Thanks for releasing it :)

I really love how much work and detail you put into your videos (as well as in your paintings, obviously). They always cheer me up and inspire me to get out, away from the computer and try to paint traditionally! I learn so much about how to approach a painting by watching your videos. Thank you very much for that.

I love how almost all of your paintings (I have both books) celebrate light. High key. Which give them very open and comforting mood.

Always very inspiring to see you at work, I've been a fan since I was a tyke. Thanks for explaining the process from thumbnails to finished painting.

Simply amazing, James, your art just gets better and better and the video is superbly crafted and edited. Congratulations!

This inspired me so much!!! Thank you!

Wonderful! I love these process paintings and am looking forward to the long-video. I will also have to check out the magazine cover. :3 Keep up the amazing work!

Bought it with closed eyes! Amazing as usual, thank you!

Great as usual. Thanks James!

Awesome! Great work James!

So fascinated just to listen to your stories.

Oh man oh man oh man! I have to have that video! I already bought your others so I know it'll be really inspirational and informative! Thanks so much for sharing your process with us!

This was very inspiring, thank you!

James Gurney is not only a master painter, he is a great teacher as well. His books offer a wealth of valuable information and are filled with carefully selected illustrations that beautifully visualize the points he talks about. I owe a great deal of my skills as an artist to this man.

Fantastic stuff!

Fascinating and educational!

Beautiful and inspiring!

I still a beginner and I work mostly in digital art and sometimes acrylic, but absolutely nothing gets me fired up about art or eager to improve like watching your videos, seeing how you work, and seeing that studio full of models and reference pictures. :) Dinotopia was my obsession as a kid, and now I keep Color and Light in arm's reach whenever possible. It's so amazing to see the theories turn into paintings in real time. Thank you so much! Definitely looking forward to the next video!

You sir, are very thorough.

Damn! I thought the painting on the thumbnail was a photo of a 3D sculpture! I expected this to be an exhibition/tutorial of handmade Dinosaur statues. Not disappointed in the least though, those paintings are amazing!!

Yo this dude's dedication is on a different level lol, he really puts in the work, but the results are truly beautiful and captivating: totally worth the time and effort. Though I kinda envy mister Gurney for having a job as cool and relaxing as this: not too many can make a living doing what he does. Only a select few have that skill and drive to do this all their lives. I used to dream of doing something like this when I was a child, back when I used to draw dinosaurs all the time. Such a wonderful job, and such a talented artist. Wish there were more of these available on youtube, because.. people wouldn't watch it just to get tips for painting, or advice for which brush to use, most people tend to like watching other people doing what they're good at. Anyway, great stuff!

this video is gold!

I bought this video and this one is super informative, like «Watercolor in the Wild» and «How I paint Dinosaurs». He is The Master, really. The process is hard to do, yet fascinating. Will wait until the «Gouache in the Wild» air.

i love seeing you draw and paint dinosours

So wonderful

Epic skills! , thank you for sharing. your work is mind blowing :D!!

Bix was always one of my favorite characters from childhood

*jaw drops to floor* Huh? Wha? How? This is incredible! You are so passionate and put so much effort into these!

My god gurney would u ever cease to amaze me

Excelente trabajo

Mr. Gurney, I have to say your work astounds me. I am not much of a painter but I am a skilled sculptor. I love what you do and would give my right arm to be able to paint the way you do!

Easily my favorite interpretation of Yutyrannus, who is also my favorite carnivore.

Amazing.

Wow ❤️ amazing and I love it

Totally subbed, amazing. :D

Maravilloso un trabajo incomiable que nos hace soñar en una realidad plausible

this is awesome af :( Thank you so much

Great art e video 👍👍👍

Excelente!!

You have great drawings I see, very important stuff.

I have to unseen this so I could have that first feeling of amazement all over again. "That's gold, Jerry, gold!" Seinfeld ref. :D

What an amazing life you've created for yourself.

wow! thank you!

I have the feeling stopped appreciating people lately. So - I'm absolute amazed by your work, and can't believe the quality of your videos.. especially since most would put you into the generation of videocontent creators. I'm glade to have found such a passionate highly skilled person on here!

DUDE YOUR AMAZING!!!YOU HAVE 1K LIKES AND ONLY 2 DISLIKES!!!

Sua arte é inspiradora!

James Gurney You are Awesome

Love it

First time I saw Mr. Gurney's work was in a 1991 issue of Newsweek magazine, along with Gurche and Hallet's

Awesome! Buying the video now. :) What happened to Mr. Kooks?!?

James is a badass!

you're my favorite youtuber

hi James. amazing video. what model/kit sculpture of dinosaur (the maker /dino) is the bigger one in your video. if like to get my hands on one of those :)

your work is amazing, i have a question, 2:09 minutes you miss the illustrations?

Oh cool you put some fluffy feathers on him. I just saw an interesting documentary about that.

Hi James, have you ever done your illustrations via digital mediums? i.e. Painter or Photoshop? Love the channel by the way... inspiring stuff! :)

what is that board set up you have on your easel..i believe you have a couple different ones...do you make yourself or buy them.??

Hi from Colombia The land of Sea Mosters I want to tell you that I love your art and want to become a paleoartist!

U AWESOME... its so REAL

im curious about "hodgepodge + clutter".

what is he using at 1:01?

Hi, can anyone tell me what word James is saying at 1:05. Automatic captions make it "dialogues," but but it neither sounds like one nor fits there.

At 4:02 what is the name of the pen 🖊please

dude you are so cool 😃

What type of paints do you use?

I was linked here by a hirohiko araki fan on "araki draws all jojos 4x faster version" on here to your page.

where did you get that tyrannosaur sculpture next to yourself in the video? i would definately buy one

I wish I could do that.

Wow......

Does video/DVD have caption? I'm deaf.

Hey James, nice video and I'm going to buy the 40min video on your gumroad page to see the all thing. Can you, or will you be ok to do a video on the commercial/client side view of this work (or another work) ? I mean, you said you past more than a week on this project, doing some outdoor research sketches etc... That's great! But I'm very intersting to know how you sell your service for this project, I mean, it's a fine art original piece you did here. That has a huge money value, so I'm surprised that your client didn't prefere to hire some digitial illustrator who can provide same (or almost) final visual result for the cover in maybe less time and with a huge more flexibility and certainly a lower price because it's not an original fine art piece. I dont mean that your client would have hired some one else, it's the opposite I'm interested in :) It,s very cool for you to have this work and I'm interesting of the part of the project who you sell yourself and negociate with the client to avoid him to hire a lower price digital illustrator. (sorry for my english ^^)

Oh boy Mr. Gurney did a great painting of ancient China 125 million years ago. scenes 1:44 to 3:44 A Competition Between 2 TYRANNOSAURS a pack of DILONG & the mighty YUTYRANNUS the 2 close relatives of TYRANNOSAURUS REX. I understand that this is just a sample of a 40 Minute documentary. I hope this comes to DVD just like James Gurney's other Successful documentary HOW I PAINT DINOSAURS.

Eu gosto deste tipo de vídeos KZfaq!

Great painting man! But I think after the All Yesterdays, you should give up the "shrink-wrapping" or "visible fenestra" style, because with your talent and without the shrink-wrapping these paintings could be the most realistic ones of all, compareble to the master Knight's work (in their age those were the most realistic painting about dinosaurs) :D

I Love you art

whoever puts a thumbs down on these videos is an absolute...

It looks very nice from an aesthetic point of view but why do you paint visible fenestrae on the animals as if there was no flesh between the skull and the skin of the dinosaurs?

All these paintings are "Big brain.

Is that the music from Assassins Creed?

James and Jeanette the best team ever!! UH UHHHHH

i miss mr. kooks :(

You use a lego dolly? Cool.

Unbelievable video James. Your work is truly inspiring. Going to purchase the video. Would love to get you for an interview one day. We are in the process of trying to publish our first magazine later this year. -PREHISTORIC MAGAZINE www.PrehistoricMagazine.com

so tyrannos had feathers !!!

Shrink wrapping

I wish it was a tarbosaurus

He put feathers on him lol. There is nothing to suggest the T-Rex had feathers.
