I love these videos - and here the phrase “ it’s about transformation of your feelings, your emotions “ - to me it’s the deep meaning of life - and why nature scenes are so attractive to many of us 🎶🩵🤎💛🧡💚🩶🎵🐸
Hi, lisengel2498 - Thank you for watching and for writing. We love your comments - they are verry joyful! We are really happy that you enjoyed it! Good luck with your painting! Kind regards, David and Connie
David is an absolute joy to watch and listen to. Not only talented, but educational. Not only educational, but entertaining. He barely spoke a single sentence that wasn't laden with insight and instruction. Never has an hour passed so quickly. Thanks David for such a generous spirit.
For me that demonstration is revolutionary in terms of how I was taught to paint. Now I have a new set of tools to use to create some interesting ambiguous paintings with the thought of creating doubt in the mind of the viewer. Thanks David.
Thank you David for doing the work you do. Thank you for sharing. It has been wonderful following your amazing descriptive style through television and the web. You and your work are greatly appreciated.
Who knew you could paint a painting with a wallpaper brush and squeegee? Have been enjoying your shows on a PBS station out here. Loved your explanation. If only I'd had a teacher in college more like you, I might have continued in art. Alas I did not. But now that I'm retired, I'm painting again. Thank you!!!
Fabulous! Had I had a painting teacher as fascinating as you I might have become a landscape painter. You have so much to teach and give and reflect upon, my head spins. You actually make me think of changing venues! Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart!❤️
Loved every second, and learned a LOT! Nothing against them, but wish my college professors in college had been even half as informative as you have been during this short hours. I'll be back!!!
Still here enjoying the content in 2023. Im a painter who loves a tune up lol…… Being reminded how to play & finding inspiration, both from your contagious passion. Not just what u communicate, but how. U & your team, the work u have completed together, will live on long after we r gone, teaching & inspiring artists for many generations to come. Thank u. Also, I saw a recent video & was so happy to know u found safe passage through the pandemic. The best to u & yours. ✌🏻🎨
your information and knowledge is amazing as well as your ease into painting...i have leaned so much and have a new approach to the thoughtfulness ..thank you so much for sharing and giving your time. look forward to more. we all just wanna have fun
Thank you for a great lecture on the way we see, what really isn't there but is projected from our cortex….it's so complex, and so natural at the same time. As a self taught beginning painter we rely on really good artists to show us "the way." Appreciate your great videos and your talent. I too have been bugging PBS to bring you back with new shows!!!
Dear David, I think, for the first time, I have really learned to WATCH, never before did I look at a picture like you do. And you are a philosopher also, thank you so much for sharing.
You sir are a genius! When you said “ now you should be able to project that picture into the scene” it was like you became a magician 👏🏻👏🏻 bravo fine teacher bravo
Thanks so much David for your willingness to share your vast knowledge with the public. Your passion, ability, and candor make the time elapse so quickly. I learned so much about history, technique, form, etc. from this workshop and am excited to try some things out at the easel. Can hardly wait for the next workshop! Bless you!
I really really like your teaching method. The way you describe how the mind processes a 2 dimensional picture I think I'll remember, "beholders share" is one of many examples!
Now I understand! David is an gifted master teacher as well as a master painter and he passes on his wealth of knowledge with candid ease and humor. This is the kind of information I have sought but have never before found. Thank you!.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! So pleased to see the first of this series. As a self taught painter, I learn more from your videos than any others out there; a wealth of knowledge, talent and inspiration. I especially like your sense of humor and your sense of timing.
Dear martinpettinger - Thank you so much - we are really happy that you enjoyed it! We are sorry that it took so long to respond and we hope that you have seen our more recent programs. We are trying to add more programs to our RU-vid channel. Thank you for watching our program and for writing to us. Good luck with your painting! Kind regards, David and Connie
Composition from first principles! A brilliant lecture / demonstration from a master in his field. One of the few art teachers that talks about music > art > culture.
I love your insight into how the trees and rocks and all Nature seem to have more character if Humans or other center of attention fauna are absent or of inconsequential focus or scale. When I used to go hiking, more so than now, I chose off trail hiking (with a detailed map, left at home, of where I parked my car and trails and areas to be wandered, in case I was injured, sickened, or lost) so that I made my own way without following anyone else's way through the woods. I also found that hiking alone (which should only be done if one is prepared; with water, snacks, proper clothing and footwear, whistle, maps, compass, knife, cell phone (only good if area covered) , etc.) hiking alone makes one connect more with the terrain and Nature found. If accompanied with another person or group of people, the forest loses its status as the main attention focus, becoming a mere interesting back drop draped behind the so important human conversations that many times have nothing to do with the Natural world you should be experiencing instead. I have discussed the need for certain non verbal times during a multi person hike. The first 20 minutes should be silent, without need for a stop watch. A few shared thoughts after that if deemed necessary and then more quiet time. Smiling between people, a touch on the shoulder and a figure point to something noteworthy off in the Natural scene is ok. Just don't lose the Natural focus, quiet and or dramatic language of the landscape. We learn more listening than speaking. I go to Nature to listen.
This is as fresh for me today as it was the first time I viewed it! Such energy and so much knowledge to back it all up...so rich in information and variety of delivery. "Oh look more dogs!" Such a fresh point of view! Thank you for sharing your passion, your wealth of background information and your enthusiasm for painting! You are the best art instructor I have ever experienced. You know the history, theory AND you can actually paint very well, unlike most instructors these days!
It isastounding at how informative and exciting David Dunlop's workshop is. His enthusiasm for his art is infectious. I am new to painting and trying to teach myself and David makes me want to keep learning and trying new things!
I have watched many hundreds of art tutorials on youtube and this is up there in the top ten best ones: absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing; it is much appreciated. :-)
Leisa, I paint on a variety of surfaces from enameled laminated aluminum to extra fine surfaced linen to polymer gloss varnished paper to copper, raw aluminum, and galvanized steel. They will all accept acrylic, watercolor(depending on its viscosity) and oil.
Dear TStarkweather - Thank you so much - we are really happy that you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and for writing to us - we appreciate it! Good luck with your painting. Kind regards, David and Connie
Dear catherinebast4456 - Thank you so much - we are really happy that you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and for writing to us - we appreciate it! Good luck with your painting. Kind regards, David and Connie
What awesome information!! I always learn so much from your style of teaching! So excited to see the next one . Looking forward to the workshop in August in Hickory,NC. Then again in Raleigh in November. How exciting to be able to see the workshops on here now . Your techniques are so informative and the excitement you put into what you teach is such a blessing. Have a great day ! Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting! You made it fun although a little ok much info on other painters. I would have preferred more of you and your painting. I hope you do more of these longer lessons. Thank you!
Thank you David! It is wonderful to be able to learn something deeper. Time to set aside the tiny brushes and get into it! (Though, I have NO idea how you do this in a crisp blue shirt and clean tan pants by the end of the painting! Wow! I am impressed :)
Emmy award winning artist and teacher David Dunlop continues to explore Forest Scenes in his Studio Workshop 3 on RU-vid - Finding the Mystery: Glazing a Forest Scene in Oil. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e3GPmZRRZkA.html In this third Studio Workshop, Dunlop uses a glazing technique in oil to create greater depth and mystery to a forest scene. He begins the painting demonstration with an earlier painting of a forest scene that is already dry. He adds a darker glaze to the entire painting, enhances its composition, and finds a new, more dramatic and mysterious painting through layers of glaze.
Wow, Absolutely Brilliant!!! This is the best and most engaging demonstration I have watched. I am so glad I have found you David, your are a fabulous teacher and I can't wait to start your next video.
Hi, deborah - We are happy that you enjoyed it! We apologize for the very long delay in responding! Thank you very much for watching and for writing to us! All the best, Connie and David
