I haven’t seen one of your videos in a long time. So glad to see you are still working! Your work astonishes me. So gorgeous!

Do you really think that a self taught artist would even consider selling their work after 4 years of self study ? I don’t think so.

Bought some framed prints of Scott’s as gifts for my family and friends, their comments are always AWESOME, You are gifted Scott, best wishes from the Emerald Isle.

If I use a pvc glue will oil paint wash down into the surface to create adhesion.

My favorite artist❤ painter...!❤❤

Long live red-pilling! I'm so grateful for this info.

I wish online retailers would show an image of a dry-brush paint stroke on the canvas to show how the paint breaks on the surface. How is anyone supposed to know what they're getting?

In Australia, sad that I cannot visit , so enjoy you explanation of the essence behind your work.

Love your work great, explanation unfortunately in Australia so unable to attend.

Great explanation! Wish I cd make it. Loving your work from BC Canada. 🇨🇦❤️

Will the Golden gesso stick to aluminum well?? I find it hard to believe that it will have a long life.

Listening to you talk about colour theory and your obvious passion for colour I can see why your paintings are such a magnificent kaleidoscope of harmony, when I try to paint like that I get mud and clashing tones . I need to improve my understanding of colours obviously but you have given me hope !

The original conspiracy!!

Hi Scott. My view - it’s not a cessation of creativity - the variable here is the market/audience = a societal change. People are switched on to different things now. The traditional creativity ‘media’ such as art music sculpture writing have been overtaken by digital alternatives such as games, social platforms, apps. It’s a new dimension and a new alternative for ‘consumers’ to choose.

Not being cute or funny here but I just bought a Naismith original in a charity shop that looks very similar to this (I think mine's actually better). Same dimensions and framed. Anyone want to take it off my hands for £3000?

The Chats are a punk band from Australia and The Snuts from Glasgow . You are right, there is a distinct lack of new bands, coming through.

What an amazing depth the glazing gave to this piece! Do you glaze your landscapes? I would love to see a demo of that! I have learned so much by watching your videos! Thank you so much!

I totally agree and appreciate your thoughts. I am seeing revival in the arts. Back to canning, knitting, sewing, soap making, ceramics, textile art, in new creative explosive ways ,,,,painting from good products, returning to basics and kicking up style in new way. I see backing off from digital art as “art”. I am a portrait artist who is part of a new perspective that portraits are not only for the wealthy but for the common person. I am sending this link series to my artist world in Austin . I too start with chaos and arrive with order. Too much order is death to creativity!

Brilliant.

You really captured the coast by Laphraoig.

Oh wow I must try and get a bottle of that.

I travel the western US and in every large city there are the same stores, same restaurants, hotels... it's sooooo boring. No wonder why huge shopping centers are closing. There's really nothing there to spark joy only fakeness.

Hi Scott, i am so in love with your work. and when i listened to this video i realised just how much your work draws me because it is a spiritual feeling. something bigger than paint and a canvas. i get lost in your paintings and feel recharged in such a good way. epic how i found this video now, when i have just started delving into the concept of the book you are reading. perfect marriage, art and spirituality. most people dont understand when i tell them my paintings is not just a picture that the eye recognizes. You must feel it when you look at it, the eyes alone cannot see what is captured with the painting. thank you for sharing these videos, it has tremendous value!

I went to see this gallery

I saw his works in Edinburgh in August when I was there at the festival. I bought 10 cards. Then he popped up on my RedBubble - I now have 3 on hard back. When I look at them I am transported. My fave painter right now ❤

2:28 if we see a blue object it must be absorbing all the read and green light leaving only blue reflected This is wrong Blue paint (eg phthalo blue PB15) reflects blue, green, and some yellow Yellow paint (eg Cadmium Yellow PY35) reflects green, yellow, orange and red You can search for "spectra of cadmium yellow"

When are you coming to America? JFYI there are over 5 Million Scottish descent here. we welcome you.

Ugliest color ever. Now it's being used everywhere for some strange reason.

lovely video

ok. Very interesting topic. - When the internet was new it was the "wild-west" ... this was where the chaos, novelty and creativity were holding a lot of promise and expectation. Once the internet got older "normies" start to get involved. Then BIG MONEY starts to get involved. Then the "great averageing of everything" starts to happen. The nasty bits get knocked off. The weird corners get filled in. The surface gets smoother and smoother. Risks become hazards that break rules. -- Many things follow this parttern. Next big thing is AI. Right now it's in the early "wild-west" phase. But it will also be "averaged out" with the application of corporations, normies and billions of dollars worth of sand paper. (I'm being glum for dramatic effect) My basic definition of creativity is simiply "connecting things that have not been connected before". Can AI be creative? If an areoplane (machine) can be described as "flying" without having living feathers, then AI can be described as creative without a living human brain. Just my reactions to your video. Keep the discussion going, great topic.

It's the standardization of humanity. We're given a narrative of robots becoming more like humans when it's the other way around. People are becoming more like robots. Programmed. Witness people's inability to question anything.

Красиво, сказочно, но одновременно современная живопись. Свежая и модная, от нее веет морским воздухом. Неподражаемо.

You are touching on so many points that have real validity in the world today. I agree that current music is lacking creativity. I think the involvement of computers to generate music has taken much of the human touch or “soul” if you will, out of the music. It seems to me that less people are taking the time to learn to play an instrument and/or join with other people to create that special thing that happens when humans join other humans in making live music. I feel like the chaos in the world today is taking a cumulative toll on people’s spirits in general but at the same time squashing their creativity which I believe comes from deep within their being. Realities of life seem to be increasingly heavy this last three years or so. I tend to be most creative when I’m happy and relaxed, not stressed, angry or sad. That’s just me. Love your paintings Scott!

I think you nailed it Scott, everything feels very ordered at the moment and very homogenized. You're really nailing a sentiment I've been feeling this past few years so you're not alone. I love your painting in the background by the way.

🤯

What in the absolute fuck is this lol. Trash

He said we have a fruit named after a color, and he's right, blueish-purple. I do love me some blueish-purple juice, that's for sure.

If a primary color is a color that cannot be mixed, then how would you consider Cyan to be primary when it can be mixed using other colors? You can literally type on KZfaq "Mix/how to make Cyan" and see people mixing it.

Is magenta red plus blue, or red plus violet, or both?

Great to watch you paint! Inspiring!

I started painting after losing my son last July, iv watched dozens of hours of videos, this grey highlights mixing tip is the best tip iv found by far. Thank you sir I’m officially a fan. God bless.

What a beautiful painting and packaging looks amazing !

Slow doon a wee bit ,whats tae hurry!

Incredible process - spraypaint usually seems so graphic, so imperfect for works of scenary - but this works. A master really can make a lotta surprising things work.

So cool cheers ! nothing better than painting and a few drinks :) I shall be using the pallet knife to open bottle's from now on cheers.

Complimenti, le sue opere mi ispirano tantissimo

Thank you

Thank You from Brazil! I love seus trabalhos, suas nuances coloridas com esse abstratos expressionista. Sensacional!

Thank You!
