Lovely video

Iona is stunning ❤

I enjoyed this so much!

I love to watch you paint James. It's lovely to see all the lovely places you visit and the stories and chat. Please keep the videos the way they are. Not keen on short ones because I find the process so interesting to watch and a lot is missed with the short ones. Great. You make it feel like we are all together on holiday...without having to suffer the bad weather :)

Really enjoyed your trip. Was there about three weeks ago and have been painting madly ever since.😊

Thank you for explaining how you use colour, very interesting and effective technique.

I am interested because I just got myself a sturdier tripod. It is for photography though, so I will need to find someone to help me put together the top and then the board with the Velcro that you have figured out….. brilliant. Thank you for being so generous with your tips and ideas.

Beautiful painting! Love textures!

As a middle-aged beginner, I was growing frustrated as I tried (and failed) to paint complex land and seascapes (trying to run before I learned to walk, or even crawl). I came across your videos about painting freely in an impressionistic style - complete game changer! It's an entirely different approach I had not considered. It's been so fun and freeing, and I've loved the results! Thank you, Mr. Potter! Keep the videos coming!

Thank you for sharing your Plein air experience with me. Great videographer! Wonderful painting!

Lovely painting James. I enjoy watching your confident brush strokes. Good luck with your exhibition. Will you show us what you're doing? It would be a good video.

You've captured the light and the distant mountains perfectly The white paint st the end lifts the whole picture. Thank you James and Tanya

Beautiful. Love your comments approach and colors. Thanks for sharing.

Like many of your tutorial videos, which I have watched multiple times over again, this was my third watching of the vase of flowers painting. I find your descriptions of the process so very valuable and rewarding. Thank you James for all your effort and advice. Gerald, Hampshire UK

It's so just enough James, it'll do!! These expressions are imprinted on my brain. If only! Lovely painting especially to watch it unveil itself and am always surprised to see how the few pencil marks 'make' it. Thank you.

There is a lot of teaching….Bill says something… Tina says something else… Tracy says something else…. But listen to me ! I’m James!!!!😢😂

Lovely painting! Beautiful impression capturing such a spectacular place ❤

Love the looseness of your technique, very inspiring!

Delightful video, despite the atmospheric challenges!

Lovely painting again. So nice to watch your painting process. Good luck with your coming show! And looking forward to some more of your adventures!

Wonderful!

Hi, James, I love this painting! I'm working on your advice to keep it simple.

Just watched your latest video, James. Love the painting and really love the backdrop painting of St Andrews! You make everything look so simple. Well done. Deb xxx

Do you tape the paper down as well or just rely on the wooden frame? what weight of paper are you using? Thanks

Your painting reminds me of myctime in IoNA 19 years ago. I didxa coloredo pencil drawing of the beach from my photo. I8t turned out fairly good. Im going to look for it.

James, thank you for another wonderful "simplified technique" painting. Your work shows the energy your experienced at the scene and the enjoyment of relating that experience.

Terrific painting. I love it! And thank you for sharing your process. Very inspiring 😊

Thanks James! I enjoyed watching you paint the beautiful Iona. I look forward to your next adventure in the camper. 😊

First, I want to say that the oil painting you show at the start is absolutely stunning! I find it really beautiful. Also, of course I love your watercolors as well. It's always a treat to have the opportunity to watch you paint the large ones from start to finish. I am interested in how you handle your brush. Your demonstrations have been very helpful in teaching me how I can improve my paintings. I've been working on techniques that I've seen you use. Thank you for your demonstrations and Thank you Tanya, for your excellent video work. It's all most helpful.

That was really nicely done.....and very instructive.....you give us so many gems of painting wisdom along with the tutorials .....Thank you both for your efforts. 😊

James, is your paper hot press or cold press grain fin?

Thanks James lovely painting, why do you sign in pencil?

Beautiful, James! I tried a 14x 10 version on Arches. Wish I could show you, but I don’t know how to add a photo to the comments.

Sometimes when you say there is some blue, for example in the sand , I wonder where does he see that?? I just can't see it!!😅😅 How do you do that? I really enjoyed watching you paint very lovely painting. That oil painting it's beautiful!!❤

Beautiful painting, again! You make it look much easier than it is. Thanks for taking the time to make these wonderful videos. Looking forward to the next one.

Beautiful Iona, beautiful painting. So enjoyed watching you paint and how you use your colours. Thankyou.

Great video thanks to both of you. Looking forward to visiting Iona next time we are in Mull now you have tempted us.

A very nice painting looking forward to the next one.

Very inspiring as I’m about to start a large watercolour painting for the first time. I visited Iona in 2013 so your painting was of particular interest.

Very enjoyable to watch! May i ask what gsm paper you're using? I use 300gsm but it means i need to stick with a3 or less, because of buckling. Do you stretch the paper? I'd like to try working big like this! 😊

Absolute magic James. Fascinating watching the final painting emerge. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Very enjoyable watch you have captured the light on the island one can imagine a shaft of sunlight breaking through the clouds giving the green an almost luminous look. Looking forward to more paintings from your travels.

James love the large textured painting that is something special. Yet again the translucency of your watercolour painting really has brought out the beauty of Iona. I tend to rush my paintings and don’t quite get the affect. You are showing me how to keep calm and take it steady!

Ah, yes! The good ol’ KISS. First heard about it in uni.

Super painting, I like your large scale paintings, looking at a large piece of paper must be quite daunting, guess that's why need a plan. What happens to all the water colours you do on You Tube?

“Too little paint is a terrible curse.” I take it that you’ve experienced several curses and decided that too little paint is the worst 😂.

👋🏼 😊

I enjoyed watching this James. How damp was your paper when you put down the first layer of the sky, including when you added the darks to give them shape? Maybe my question should have been, Do you start with a damp paper? Which white paint do you use at the end of the painting? Mine never seem to be white enough. Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful!

Great video tour! Thank you!
