The sea is an unforgiving mistress. What a wonderful planet we live on. And your oil paintings always forgive. Thanks 🙏 😉. So I couldn’t resist having a go yesterday following the video along. Easy to follow but difficult to copy.

A Sea scape with a boat - a rare treat indeed! Thank You Stu, always such a pleasure to watch your videos and hear your voice. All the best mate - so glad to see you uploading again!

It’s mesmerising watching you paint Stuart. Thanks so much!

Excellent, as always! Yes, painting the sea is a rather daunting task for most.

Your painting inspires me. I am definitely going to paint something similar in the next few days. Be well and strong...

Absolutely superb. Please do not worry too much about breathing - your brain will let you know it's time to breathe before your heart starts worrying! Best wishes for a long career.

Better than any magician. One of the best 'tricks' on RU-vid. Thanks for such an inspirational tutorial

I really enjoyed this.I found my mind wandering back to memories of being on my grandfather's boat and him teaching me to steer it, and the feeling of being on the sea.I learned a lot from watchjng your technique.I've never been a seascape painter but I think I'll give it a try after watching this.Thank you so much and I hope your health improves.You're a very good teacher.❤️

Thank you Stuart, so live watching you paint!

Beautiful painting and you do it so perfect and so easy!!👍..my best wishes for you to stay healthy!!😘🙏

Votre genie c'est de peindre des formes qui nous forcent à fantasmer et imaginer des interprétations personnelles et ressentir des sentiments delicieux 👏

Love it,thanks again. 💓

Wow! I sat with my mouth open when you painted the boat. You made it look so simple. Awsome!! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Again I learn something new. So happy your feeling better.

Like you, I love a busy sky. Love your skies.

Stuart, as always, a BIG fan of yours. Please do more sea escape, specially with ships and do take care of yourself. Love and respect.

Thank you Mr. Davies 🌹Be well and take good care of yourself please 💗

The 'thing's is a bowsprit. Holds the forstay...and that is a GREAT seascape. Ever since I started watching I wondered about how seascapes would turn out. I'm thinking of trying one with a bit of the wiping to get some light into waves. Thanks@

Stuart, sense finding your channel I have been inspired too take the plunge into oil painting. Thank you for sharing your life’s experience as an artist..

As always I am amazed at your ability to create something visually complex without the faffing and overworking that afflicts us mere mortals.

Well this is a different subject matter - what fun! Yes, do more! You are, as always, so inspiring!!

WOW! You should do more seascapes, you're very good at it, that's beautiful.

So glad to see a new one from you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely beautiful work Stuart. Stunning I'm in awe. Please keep breathing x sending you healing thoughts x ❤️

As long as your not suffering...but you do sound horse . Not an issue for watching you the painting is where I’m focused. Very happy to see you upload something.

Ha ha ha...I love your technical terms Stuart. As always hearing your voice is a great comfort, and I greatly enjoy your wit. It's so nice to a seascape painted with your illusion of detail, just beautiful! Looking forward to 👀ing you paint more of them.❤️

Very great! Yes, a rolling or stormy sea is definitely a difficult subject to paint. How you do it and what you pay attention to is very good to know. Thanks a lot for this video!

Amazing art as usual....fills one with wonder at your immense talent to create such a natural painting.I love all your paintings and have learnt a lot from them.However...please do take care of your health and do some breathing in between.Always in my prayers...Mr. Stuart.Take care.

This is the best gift of the day for me to see you back painting again. Welcome back. Stay healthy and well, and keep painting.

I'm so glad you decided to paint the sea, it looks brilliant, you have such a natural feel. I think you're a master of sky too. Thanks so much

I don't know how I missed this video, but I subscribed a long time ago. And this is exactly what I needed right now! Thank you, Teacher!

A real pleasure to watch as always Stuart, you've given me lots of great inspiration/tips to start painting landscapes. Take care of yourself.

Most excellent. Really enjoyed watching while having a break at work. Thanks Stuart.

Magnifique! Just love seascapes, you did so well ! Just love the colors and the boat done in a simple way! Hope you do more seascapes! Take good care of yourself ! Blessings to you and your family ! 🙏

This is an amazing painting you have done for us. It is so innocent and a bit lonely and is last into the endlessness. My best wishes.

Wonderful nervous mouvements of brush! The result IS magnificent paint

I want so much to join your classes. Your work is inspiring Calm demeanor refreshing relaxing inspiring confidence Thank you so much, Stuart🎨

Yes please do more sea paintings ....I love paint the sea, please

Really enjoyed your rendering of "shipness." A nice, moody expanse of sea, as well. Hoping good things for you healthwise. Will say a prayer, too.

Fantastic, as ever!!! Loved this painting!!! Thank you very much for showing us. Take care.

Enjoyable and informative as always! In case no one else has already said, the mast which sticks out at the front is called a 'bowsprit'

Even the sound of the sea....you clever clever thing. Love as always x

Thank you Stuart! love this painting and the sound of the sea! I miss my homeland Malta and the blue seascapes there, hopefully I can recreate something like this, thank you for the wonderful tips you show here! Look after yourself and enjoy your painting without stress.

Well done that man,I love sea scapes, more please.!!!

Stuart, I enjoy not only your lessons, but, the feeling of visiting with a friend. Your relaxed approach in creating such beautiful works is one I am striving to reach. I do experience a fear of a blank canvas , and little patience with myself during the ugly part of a painting. Your relaxed approach shows a much more enjoyable way to paint. Your soft spoken voice is a vacation from all the troubling things one has to deal with . So you’ve no worries about talking too much. Please take care of yourself.

I had a go at painting it this morning. Quite pleased with it actually as it was my first go at a seascape and I only started painting last April during the lockdown. Wish I had done it years ago. Don’t stop painting your landscapes.

excellent as always! Love your demos, Stuart!

I'm amazed at the amount of motion that you put into the waves in the very first go-around of paint. I'm sure that skill comes from your years and years of experience, but it will be fun to try to follow your motions and see where it gets me. One of these days I'll be back in France for another go-around. One my top experiences -- so glad I got it in before the pandemic!

Mr. Davies. Thank You! i hold my breath too.. I do appreciate your commentary. No matter how strained. Take care.

I will try to paint this in acrylics. i love this dynamic and the drama that the sea gives off..

Love the impressionistic style , you make it look so easy, thank you for taking the time to teach us beginners of oil on our journey. Take care ❤️🎨

I really enjoyed this video Stuart. It's a brilliant result. Don't forget to breathe! Many thanks 🙂

I just love this! You have such a fun way of teaching. Please take care!

❤❤❤Please keep up with your rest Stuart. But oh my goodness. Thank you for this video. You are indeed a contemporary Master!!! Watching on my silly Android track phone the volume was a bit low. I'm not sure if you'll find the same on rewatching. Regardless I search daily to see if you've uploaded a new video. That CLOUD ??? HOW DID YOU DO THAT ?? I feel like I will have to watch six more times. I've only watched it three times thus far !! The ship and sea all combine lovely and complement one another without competing. Just marvelous !!! May God continue to grant you strength. I remember your other sea work from your earlier days and I couldn't wait to watch your magic in this video !! If you're up to it, please keep the paintings coming. They really are THERAPEUTIC as well as inspiring. THANK YOU STUART ❤❤❤

The story here is you, Stewart. You are the ship, fighting the sea, and will succeed. The land is close Captain. Bless you, and all who sail with you🙏

Fantastic! So very glad you are back!!

Love your vids really appreciate your work.

Amazing! I've never seen this done so masterfully before, with nautical ships, waves and the like. A great amount of detail in the ship, even without a lot of detail, like the 'illusion of detail' painting, the mind adds so much from the simplicity of it. Very good see how easily you've drawn from your early on experience, which you've mentioned in the past, on commissions of sea-work you had done. Thank you so much for sharing this tine with us, it Truly made my week! Blessings to you and your family sir. - on a side note, it was good to hear you again, I will be looking into the patreon link so that I can see other gems like this in the future.

Amazing I just love it. So many different blues and the combination is beautiful and peacefull

Very interesting and quite different from usual. It has inspired me to have a go. Thanks

Talk about muscle memory.. you’ve only painted 3-4 mariner seascapes in the last 30 years? And this one, you completed in approximately 40 min. I learned how complicated it was to create this style of painting, & I think it would take me hours over the course of a couple days, to get it to resemble yours. I’ve studied your painting tutorials now for some while, & rewatched all or portions of various ones many times (often at slower speeds), in an attempt to truly see how you use your brush. I’ve come to the conclusion that painting has become very intuitive for you. Your seemingly often random brushstrokes aren’t as consciously random as one might think. There is engrained purpose & economy in those movements. I fell in love with the perfect clouds you made in a perfectly colored sky. The ocean does look misleadingly easy when one watches you, but I have enough experience now to know how complicated it is to paint the sea. Hoping for your recovery ❤️‍🩹 soon! My favorites from the old masters are Ivan K Aivazovsky & Turner.

Great ship Stewart! You pulled i/ right out of the sea. Awesome!

Thank you for sharing your art, you are so inspiring! Please take care of yourself! CHF is a rough diagnosis but you have the right mindset ❤️

This is fantastic, the Red in the sky is wonderful. Thank you!

So glad o see you painting. Beautiful

Nice painting dear friend💕💕..stay connected always

I absolutely love your seascapes

Another wonderful painting Stuart ! Such a delight to watch you do your magic with so much ease and talent . I'm grateful you'r healthy , and able to teach your magnificent lesson .

Amazing stuff as per. Love it. I hope you’re feeling a lot better Stuart.

Well done sir! Always live life with the spirit of adventure!

I paint the sea for so many years and never saw high detail painting that took my breath away. I can appreciate the quality of work there but it usually lack feeling. Impressionistic, abstract sea is where the real beauty is, at least for me. The way you like to make your skies, full of energy and drama, that's the way I like to do sea. This is promising start looking forward to see it finished .

Love this one! Saw your other ship on patreon, thank you again! This is so beautiful! Take care, and take vitamins, get well. 🙏

That's incredible Stuart!

I’ve watched you do this one a few times. I always notice something new each time. I just love what you do and how you work. And love your commentary. This painting seems simple -but if you really look at the water and waves the subtlety of colors really makes the water appear real. Some areas are translucent, some areas opaque. And you’ve got just the right amount of whitecaps. I just love studying what you do. To painters like me, the artistry you put out is amazing. You don’t have to try to paint, it just comes out of you. Thanks so much and paint paint paint. Can’t get enuf. And pls take care of your health.

love this one

Stuart. Very sorry to hear of your health issue! It struck a note with me as I'm about the same age as you and this past year my voice has been doing something very similar. Thats got me thinking.

Awesome!!

This is wonderful! I look forward to giving it a go! Thank you!👏👏👏💚💚💚💚

I really enjoyed this seascape and would love to see more! You make it look so easy and it looks amazing!

I can’t belieeeeeve I missed this in zoom booooo. Hi what a great painting.

Fabulous!

Keep up the great paintings. Hope you’re feeling better.
