HOW TO PAINT A MISTY LANDSCAPE IN OILS 

As long as you asked: It's impossible to enjoy your narrative any more than I already do. To be honest, given the right producer(s), you could easily be an American staple. You may not want that...at all. Which is fine. My point is that your videos resonate in a way that's impossible to describe, except that's its comforting and enjoyable in equal measure. Keep up the good work...and forget the American (or French...or Aussie) accent. Your voice is spot-on, and your words are a perfect fit for your images. Much gratitude!

And so I watched this video the whole Sunday, start to finish--- bit by bit, went to have breakfast, fed the cats, watched the sea, thinking and contemplating.... and what an inspirational Sunday it was, Stuart! Yes, please talk all the time. Sometimes I make notes, like "It is not about precision, it is about feeling, waking emotion"; " Push the land up into the sky, it gives perspective." I have learned so much from you the past year. Thank you!

Definitely an element of genius in what you do Stuart - I don't quite mean that you were born with a paint brush in your hand and had the immediate ability to swish some paint around a board and create a beautiful scene, but just, whatever genetics you inherited combined with a lifetime of work has resulted in a fantastic eye and a seductively magical painting style - keep on keeping on, we're all winning from it

Thank you so much, Stuart! The person receiving this painting is sure to love it! I love your longer videos..the longer the better! And, I do so enjoy your chatting away while you paint. Makes us feel as though we are there with you. I always come away from your video with new insights ..Thank you, once again , for sharing your teachings with us.

Keep talking I like it people who don’t want to listen can turn the sound off? 👍🏼

Thank you Stuart I'm nearing 60 and haven't painted for years I've recently begun again and find your tips valuable your paintings are wonderful and I say to my partner your an unconscious comedian at times thank you again I've picked up lots of tips in this video

Hallo Stuart. Thank you sooo much for your wonderfull videos! I am from germany and i love to listen to your peacefull voice and like to hear some storys about your interesting live and the good informations about painting while i am painting alone in my studio. Make your videos as long as you can...i watch them all several times. Because of your videos i paint a lot more landscapes in oil than in acrylics and i enjoy both. You are a wonderfull teacher and your paintings are amazing. This " Foggy Landscape " is fantastic and i love it. Stay save and never give up making your interesting videos for us! Best whishes from Schleswig- Holstein, and sorry for my funny english. I understand you very well, but my writing is sadly very bad.

It makes me so happy to be notified of your latest video!Thankyou So Much Stuart ! Mia 🇬🇧

I really like hearing you and the way you explain things. Thanks for your great teaching.

I like your talking when you talk about techniques and your thought process. Also the personal stories are amusing. You have encouraged me to believe I too can paint even though I can not draw. Thank you!

Ahhhhhh thank you. I want to work loosely. I feel like I'm at edge of icey waters needing to jump in. I only discovered you yesterday been binge watching I. So grateful to see your real casual yet phenomenally beautiful work---WOWOWOWOWOWWWWWW I AM SO GRATEFUL GOD HAS BROUGHT YOU TO ME. (PRAYING - LORD WILLING) I WOULD BE EXTATIC TO BE ABLE TO COME TO BE YOUR STUDENT NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU STUART!

I was taught to hold your painting in front of a mirror and it shows everything you have done wrong. Love you videos and your voice is very soothing. Thanks for all your work.

Your commentary, word high jinx and play is delightful and I enjoy the frequent chuckles as I learn.

I’m always here for the long run! You always bring me calm and escape from my treatment for cancer Thank you 🙏🏼 Keep your narration and process. Love your foggy painting. Thank you again 👏🏻

💕💕 you tube needs a ❤ button. Like is not a strong enough button for the way some paintings make one feel. Your teaching style is lovely because it is very harmonious, humourous and quietly instructive but interesting enough to keep one watching to the end.

Love you talking through the process. So many artists don't say enough so we don't know what they were trying to achieve. Also, it helps us to think through the decisions we make when we paint.

Oh my goodness, what a blessing to receive one of your paintings!!

I'm working my way through your videos. Beautiful finished painting.

Please keep talking, it makes it more interesting to watch and learn while you explain. You are simply amazing , Sir

Definitely like the talking. You’re adding important thinking process, showing me how you execute thought with brush. My vote: keep the talking bits. Thank you.

I love hearing you talk during the painting process. Your voice is easy to listen to. Not all artists have a pleasing sound.

I always watch the whole painting. But every now and then i take break from it and watch furder next time. Seeing you paint a painting is like a story. Once i hooked in to the story line of the painting i have to see the whole painting until the end. So no matter how long the video is, i'm watching it all the way but with a couple of breaks in between. I don't know how RU-vid picks that up. But i always try and leave a comment. Because i am running addblocker. I don't want to see adds that are not relating to painting when i watch your video's. This painting looks amazing. And the picture is also worth framing. It is awesome. With the orange of the early sunrise. I love it.

Keep talking, just as you do. It helps a lot. I haven’t gone to any school and have just started painting, so little things that you know on an intuitive level may be unknown to me, so talking about those helps. My teacher up to now was Bob Ross, you have one thing in common - you are very positive and encouraging towards me/us, it makes me very happy, thus I want to paint more. I also love listening to your stories.

Here I am watching this video again. A lot to learn from it. thanks for sharing and thanks for being there.

Absolutely want you to continue chattering away about what you are doing and what your thought process is as you paint.; that is very helpful!

I enjoy your talking and your accent. You are a wonderful painter and I truly enjoy your art and your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your process.

Thank you for allowing me to finally watch an artist, really you have shown me how to paint

What you might call blathering or whatever word you use, I really value it for hearing your thought process. Keep up the beautiful work! You are inspiring me and others, I'm sure! ...and I'll bet you will make this person's day! (Yes, I stayed to the end. ;) )

In response to your question I do like the verbal content that you provide. You provide a clear understanding of what you are about to do and it is fine. I hate when videos have music background. I follow an English artist called Dan Tirels and he doesn’t talk at all and I enjoy his works. Thank you for creating your videos.

Just keep on keepin on. I love your talking while you paint it is full of information. I absolutely LOVE YOUR WORK!

Fantastic artwork and great experience, I learned a lot.Thank you so much ❤.

You are such a good teacher and a great artist, thank you for letting us see your techniques, yes I like it when you talk about how and why you doing

Yes! Keep talking! It’s pleasant and informative. Tell us more about your color mixing when you change it up. Yours is my favorite RU-vid subscription, I think because you make viewers feel that we are in your studio while you’re painting. Thanks so much for sharing your extensive knowledge!

The running commentary is nice to listen to and helpful. Many thanks.

Thank you Stuart, I like your Narrative of explanation of all that you do. I am just starting with oil and you make it look so easy, all the best, Chris

Yes... I agree.. Keep talking. For me, it's a mix of excellent information, guidance, friendliness, and not without some welcome relaxation therapy.

It’s so interesting to hear your thoughts. Of course talk. Loving the sky being formed & the pink contrasting with the white below.

Just found your videos about a week ago. Love watching you paint. I am in the USA. May pick up the oils again 😊

You are such an inspiration, Stuart!

Thank you very much. I really like the way you explain what you are doing while you are painting. I would prefer that actually. That way I can learn from you.

I l Ike your calm conversation which reveals such great information

Stewart really appreciate the vlogs and interesting commentary great tips on the use of colour and depth emerging with sky and ground reflections 👍

Thank you for your information. You answered my question about using alkyds and glazes using oils.

Absolutely love this one ❤️. Like to see it varnished one day .. Thankyou

Hi Stuart, haven’t watched you for a while. I should do, as my painting efforts improve immensely when I do. Very impressive painting here. I agonise over skies and foreground. I must watch you more often, and copy your effortless approach. (Seemingly effortless).

Talk away! Love to hear your thought process!

Brilliant! This is my idea of fun. Thank you!

I absolutely love your videos. I think you keep talking as much as you do. That's how I learn . Thanks

Hi, I recently found about your videos and I am very glad for it. Your paintings and your style is amazing. I also do oil paintings of sky and landscapes, I mostly do red sky or evening sky and rocks and water for landscapes. I enjoy watching you paint.

I have followed you for a couple of yes, you are one of my favorite Artist of this century a novice

Talk away I think it is part and parcel of the whole experience. It is great to hear your thought process and general thoughts.

Lovely clouds.

Another beautiful painting Stuart...cant wait to see it when its finished!

New video!!! Leeetttssss ggooooooo!!!!

Love it when you talk!❤️

Love this, thank you again for sharing your talent...chatter away!

What an amazing piece of work taking place Stuart and I love the accidental highlights you often create, drawing the eye and interest even closer. On a technical note, I love the addition of you talking whilst painting throughout.. please continue that :) By the way are you using a wireless lapel type mic or perhaps a mic from the camera? Anyway, looks and sounds tremendous from my end in the land of kangaroos :)

Thanks Mr. Davies!

I don't think I will ever "constrain my clouds again!" Ha! Thanks so much. Your accent makes this feel a little bit like a trip to Europe! (from USA)

Please paint more from photos- this helps a lot especially beginners- it is very interesting to see how you build up a picture if it is not a fantasy picture!

I like to hear your thought process. I d like you to speak English instead of British😂. It’s so funny that we( across the pond) got our English from you but we pronounce it correctly😂 and Brits don’t. This is fascinating to me. Do you use different dictionaries from Webster or what? We pronounce where WHERE whereas Brits pronounce it WHAR and we say there and you say thar. I’m not critiquing-I’m just fascinated and love to hear your accent. What you do with a paintbrush is AMAZING! Mind changing is perfectionism ! I could have stayed another hour. Anyone would be proud to hang your art on their wall. There is greater happiness in giving than is in receiving.

Yes please do keep talking, your paintings are perfect, dreamlike

Thank,mister Davies!

Well what can I say, I certainly enjoyed our little chit chat last night and I did watch it all the way through. Although, I got up half way through and made myself a cheese and tomato sandwich as I was a bit peckish! and I kept my headphones on so I didn't miss you chatting away. Great stuff as usual.

Hi Stuart, yes please keep talking, but perhaps give some indication on how you mix your colours and perhaps your brush technique. Fabulous painting!

wonderful! i am headed for the studio :)

I love your story's

In his book John F Colson discusses gold frames and explains that it reflects the wall and paint colour joining the two.

Speaking of your speaking: I quite like it. Most Americans find the different British accents endearing. To paraphrase Churchill: Americans and British have quite a lot in common. There is only one thing that separates us and that is language.

Watched to the end thanks

Awesome

New subscriber! I just discovered you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Which blue is the top of the sky that you laid in? Phalo blue? I like your comments as you work especially when you are describing the decision for colours or why you are using a colour in a particular place. You have a very calming and entertaining voice! Thank you.

A good one double glazed I guess once dry you could or might add one more a touch up or glaze

beautiful vídeo.

Mr. Stewert sir. I believe you once said in one of your previous videos that this style can be utilized to do portrait painting. Correct me if I'm wrong but I understand you said at some point that you don't like doing portraits as much. That being said, do you think perhaps someday you'll do a video with some tips on doing a portrait? Something of a demo perhaps?

BIG help...thank you.

I LIKE YOUR DIALOGUE AS YOU GO THROUGH THE VIDEOS. I AM CURIOUS TO WHAT SHADES OF BLUE YOU USED IN THE UPPER SKY.

Hello Maestro, do I ask much if I ask to paint a stormy sea? Thank you.

Stay exactly as you are. I like to hear your thoughts and like to know exactly what you are doing, colours, amount of medium. Etc.

Very beautiful. Question: What type of varnish do you use? A Matt or Lustre? And an oil based or water based.? Thankyou. Beautiful work.

I love your work. I am new to you. You have helped me so much free up my style and get out of my head. Thank you thank you.! Do you also teach acrylics ?

Thank you Stuart, again very helpful video. Only one question, what is the exact name of that gray color and how could be mixed? I can only see that is a bluish gray color. Thanks!

Please dont stop chatting Everything is just perfect!

Gold frames are the best. Do your hands get dry from the paper towel or do they stay moisterizered from the oil?

How much oil do you use in the brush?

Hi Stuart, just trying to find at what point in this video, you mention the publishing company. ....my daughter writes and I would like to direct her to the London publishing company you work for/ with...designing book jackets....thank you

Stuart, Thank you again for your amazing guidance and videos. I have a question for you. I tried glazing for the first time but I used Liquin, a large amount of it, and the glazing took off some of the layer underneath that was dry when I wiped it away. I was glazing with a semi-opaque white and paynes grey to do fog over dry phthlo blue. Do you think it was the Liquin that did that instead of just using an oil for the glazing? What do you suggest? Thank you! Shane

Will you please paint a desert sometime?

S D you are very good

So how long till you apply varnish ? And what kind do you use ?

I went on a date in Lewes once. She totally broke my heart… My banter wasn’t good enough… But baby, I was raised in a different country! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes talking is good! You are so brazen with your bright blue! Where does it come from !

Keep talking, you provide wonderful context.

SALUDOS MAESTRO.

Yes, talk. We learn from you.

Also I like your cat 🐈

Yes! Speak the whole time please. Thats why I watch is mostly to hear your thought process

please keep on with the chat Stuart, maybe in the voice of Eccles or Neddie Seagoon; per-chance... and yes, make the videos as long as they need to be...

Your talking is perfect, your videos have a dual purpose for me. 1. to learn about painting, 2. Please no offense, but you have a "Bob Ross" ASMR quality about how you talk. What I mean is, your videos for me double as a relaxation video. I sometimes use them to get ready to sleep, not in any way do I mean you are boring, not at all, you just have a relaxing voice and a relaxing delivery. I feel you will end up on some unintentional ASMR videos. Please don't change a thing.
