Clouds have changed, in their shapes and lets say composition, many densities, tubular connections, movement of shapes, inside the cloud tube. Huge anomalies, jutting out of the billows and whisps. Light coming through at sunset, backlighting variations. Fascinating. Love your talks, kind sir
Great video and a brilliant painting. You have inspired me to try out oils rather than my acrylics and to swap the details for being more loose. You have a lovely voice and you make me laugh. Thank you.
Watching you paint has opened my eyes to see my surroundings in a new way. I always look for red in the clouds now and sometimes see shapes in the foreground rather than things. You are a gentle man and your videos are soothing as well as instructive. Thank you.
I drop off as well, but I come back, and too bad I can't mark those comebacks and the times I rewatch. Maybe you know when that occurs. And, finally, thanks teach.
You are a remarkable painter and teacher. As for your voice .... its lovely and soothing as far as I'm concerned. I also enjoy your words , pazzazing for example!
I put the bird channel for cats on youtube through the big flatscreen tv. They now sit in front of the tv, waiting for me to put it on! I had to secure the tv because they think the birds flew behind the tv. Why did i start this? The mouse channel does nothing for them.
I am obsessed with clouds 😂. I’m going to keep watching and get the nerve up to do this on a large canvas that I have.. I need to CHILL and do this!!!!!! 🤣🙏🏻👍👍👍😘
Thank you so much for the views around your area. I now see where you are coming from in your paintings... makes so much more sense... you paint what's around you. Stunning! I have always had great admiration and appreciation for your paintings here on RU-vid. I'm so grateful to have found you here. I have tried some of your techniques, but of course my paintings are very different from yours. You are a master artist. Thanks so very much for sharing your talent with us.
Oddly enough, I tend to use baby oil to clean my brushes as it nourishes the bristles. What I have noticed is how much easier it is to paint with a larger brush than it is with a smaller one when getting the foundations in place. I am just started to paint now that I am approaching 70. Am sure that more is learned by watching the great artists that are kind enough to share their work through media.
Couldn't have been a better time for me. I needed this lesson .So helpful. I learn every time from your teaching . Thankyou Stuart. Such a lovely tutorial. The colours too are so interesting. Effective painting. Now to make a new start tomorrow.
A favorite element of not☕️The best approach and technique for creating and integrating clouds in any painting. Even a beginner can achieve satisfying results. Thank you, Stuart🐈🌙❤️🌺
I'm enjoying all these videos so immensely! And I really love these "lots of talking" painting videos. Thank you so much for the information and the inspiration!! Sharon, from North Carolina❤️
I loved the way that the red blends into the sky. I bought a box of 2 inch chip brushes today to work on skyscrapers. Thank you for a very entertaining video.
Hello Stuart,another wonderful sky. Have never not watched one of your videos till the end. I find them INTERESTING and very informative. Iceland has many Volcanos and lots of ice .Greenland however is almost totally covered in ice for 9 months of the year and a few Volcanos that are are dormant. Iceland is in fact a developing volcanic island. Spent a few months there in the late 60s at the time "Circe " was forming as a new island . Quite an interesting experience. Stay well and good luck with recovering your natural voice.
To work at your speed is a real challenge for me just because of insufficient experience. Great to see how you put colours together so effortlessly and effectively! 😅. Well done. 👍
Hello Mr. Davies.... I'm an artist and just subscribed. I'm primarily an impressionist. I too, am into clouds and stormy skies. While searching youtube for tutorials on how I might improve my own cloud work I came across you. I never looked any further after that. Very, very nice sir. I've been watching your videos and recall you saying toward the end of one particular video (don't know which one).... "Next time I will show you how to do tree foliage up close". That's one of the roadblocks in my work. I never saw the demonstration and wonder if you might provide a link or steer me towards the video that demonstrates how you do that. Close up foliage, trees, leaves etc. Any information you provide would be helpful. I truly admire your technique. It changed my approach and direction of my work overnight. Thank you. I look forward to hearing back from you. ~Stay Creative
Hi, Stu. I've just watched a very interesting video (John Wellington Color Theory Master Class), on why it's OK to use Black. He made several greens, just by using yellow & black, which looks very similar to the 'landscape green', that you make. And he made a good point, about using black, "Why use expensive paints, to make a cheap paint?"
I tuned in partly to relax, your big sky and clouds are very calming! Another true work of art. This makes me think of the Southwest in the USA, flat land, buttes, and big sky. Love it, and if you add more I am sure it will be even better.
Your "cloudscapes" are most impressive, and they have a special "mood" which is most relaxing. Maybe one day you can do a sunset-ish one, with lots of little high cirrusclouds in all kinds of wild colors? Being rather primitive I like saturated sunset colors. But that's just me.
I have been following your videos for some time now and have never not watched to the end. always enjoyable and informative. You have managed to make me attempt a seascape in oils today and whilst I did enjoy the time I spent on the painting it wasn't too successful in my opinion, i would love to paint skies in the same way that you do and dare say that practice will improve my technique. this painting was the first in oils for me in over 40 years. Never say never EH? Thankyou for the inspiration Stuart.
Magnificent sky Stuart. Glad you are feeling better now. The only thing I have against the thumbs up button is it only allows one to like it once. If you click again, it unlikes it. Often I need to watch your videos more than once, as they are long and I cant concentrate that long, wont rwmember everything and have other things to do but may come back to watch a specific part later. Not sure if that helps your algorith though. Today I have watched this in 3 parts.. and will likely revisit another day.
Thank you! The clouds on Saturday were incredible over here near the coast as well. Absolutely would buy a brush! As I’m not to far away I should see if there’s a train I can take when (if) you’re doing a weekend or retreat thing.
Wow Stuart, I can't get over how much that first photo in particular looks like the landscapes you paint, and the skies and clouds of the other photos as well!
Wow very nice Painting stuart.i like you style in Painting.i want to ask One questions. Oil colour can mix whit turpentine or linseed oil. If not linseed can mix with sun flower oil
Stuart you used to paint on a gessoed (if that is a word) board quite often so I followed suit, is there a particular reason you have moved to canvas or is it just because you can. Thanks in advance.
As the film panned across you landscape, I understood your paintings in that moment, and a little, in you. Im studying your approach and I see that you seem to execute first with suggestion, how everything looks like what the brain thinks it is. then comes action of using paper and Q tips.. setting in the details, but then the star of the show, the clouds again suggestion, action but now enters skill, and that is painting what you see everyday outside your window. GENUIS! Thank you, im learning.
I really enjoyed seeing the video of your area. Your love for it is reflected in all your work that I have seen. Now this painting is a beautiful tonalism! Great clouds and so simple the landscape yet so captivating! I have seen all your videos and rewatch them all the time. You have given me courage to keep on going and trying. I am 77 years old! (It is what it is, and I have issues too with health so I understand your situation.) But this painting has inspired me to do a more tonal painting! Thank you for helping people learn this way. 🖌😊
