James Gurney creates a watercolor study of daisies by painting around the white shapes. We learn about the technique of negative painting, the composite structure of daisies, and the Zen Buddhist concept of the space between things .

Oh my goodness, now besides learning about painting daisies with negative spaces, we’ve learned a bit of Japanese, had a botany lesson, and art history lesson! Loved this..thank you so much - you are always so interesting and entertaining!

@JamesGurney 9 дней назад

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed all the tidbits. Every painting seems to lead me to odd new discoveries. I'm grateful to have a bunch of friends to share them with.

James Gurney always bringing amazing tips and tricks

You're so generous with your knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing so freely. ❤️😊

Painting living flowers en situ is such a humbling experience, especially on a breezy day. Painting them in transparent watercolor -- doubly so! Always appreciate your approach; the explanation about the Japanese concept of 間 was especially cool.

@grahamnightingale9513 12 дней назад

That is one of my biggest problems right there "Just slow down!" I keep charging ahead to get it all done. I am so happy to hear you say that James, I thought you were past that and I am happy to see that its not the case and so I can assume that there there is still hope for me on my painting journey! Thank you for posting these videos I am both reminded about things I have forgotten and also I learn so many things too, I really get a lot from them so thank you sir! :-)

@mimimosa259 7 дней назад

As someone who does not have an artistic mind this is really mind boggling and amazing to witness in action. Thank you so much!

@josephinastover5785 12 дней назад

What a unique approach to painting such a complex subject. Loved the botany lesson as well. Thank you sir!

@rdfjfgjyfdhfghy67456 12 дней назад

The tip on painting detail in the focal point of the picture is such genius❤ thank you for sharing as always!

@peterjacksonanton4814 12 дней назад

Wow I just searched for your casein videos because I was trying to paint white flowers over dark green yesterday and failed horribly. Great timing!!! Thanks so much James, you're such an inspiration

@MarkNiceyard 12 дней назад

As always great painting action and a whole pallet of valuable comments! Thanks a lot.

@eventhorizonbm 9 дней назад

I've watched a particular pencil artist who always uses this technique. Thanks to you, I now know the name of it. Cheers!

@artonthecreek 11 дней назад

Once again, so wonderful. Thanks for taking us with you-makes me want to go back to our local Botanic Gardens this week and try my hand at the negative spaces❤

@randominternetuser2 12 дней назад

always love your videos. thank you James!

@carolhestand2561 12 дней назад

Negative painting might teach me to slow down. Thank you, great lesson

@dragonshy 11 дней назад

Thank you very much for a wonderful video Mr Gurney! You are such an inspiration for me and many of my artist friends, I wish you all the best things, be well, happy and keep creating!

@chelseawhite7117 12 дней назад

So good to see a plein air video like this again!! I lit right up. Every time you upload, it revitalizes that spark in me to try my next plein air

@lorawaring883 11 дней назад

Amazing how you know what lesson i need just when i am forgetting what to do. thank you!

@libellula3313 12 дней назад

Loved this thanks. One of my first lessons at art college in the UK was drawing a big stack of wooden chairs in the centre of the art room! I never forgot that. 😮

@JamesGurney 12 дней назад

Sounds like a good challenge for negative shapes!

@northernembersoutdoors1045 12 дней назад

Always great to get a decent length video from you, thanks for this.

@claowue 8 дней назад

Oh yes, Artists in Wonderland was great to watch. 🇪🇺😉 They had so much fun - and were so exhausted in the End 🙈 Even as I am not into spraypainting myself I got so inspired to do art. // Cute circles! I like them. Sometimes going small is the best thing to do!

@louisapdjones 9 дней назад

I especially like the way you handled the stems.... more negative painting. 🎉❤😊

@michaelhemmingartist 11 дней назад

Great painting as usual but also interesting little extras too. A pleasure to watch as always.

@cedarbylard 7 дней назад

You’re such a gem James. Thanks for being you.

@deborahfinney313 10 дней назад

Thank you! This has really helped me with background work. Good to see a new video

@jeffk7881 11 дней назад

Another great lesson!

@PeteDimitrov 3 дня назад

It is the silence in-between the words, the "gaps" in the sound, that shape and give our speech its meaning. Otherwise it would be all noise. I didn't come up with that thought. I read it somewhere recently, or heard it in a tv show. I can't for the life of me remember where! But your amazing video and art reminded me of it. Inspiring, as usual. (Perhaps I read it in Three Body Problem that I recently finished, some of the readers might know the origin better than I.)

I love the new opening song at 0:20 !

@dgib1694 12 дней назад

I love all your videos but the ones that presents the different general approaches to your art the best.

@Tonisfarm2024 11 дней назад

Perfect timing for this video as I just started sketching my granddaughter in a field thick with daisy's that I plan to paint. This video made me more excited than scared to put the paint on the paper. Thank you!

@lolabear6788 12 дней назад

I am amazed at how small you paint! That page is tiny!

@corre491 12 дней назад

Mr. Gurney. Thanks for your lessons. I have your two books. They are the best for learning. Thanks from Costa Rica.

@elisabethseeger5837 10 дней назад

That was SO helpful- I’m trying to figure out how to paint a forest floor full of yellow Camas lilies interspersed with tall waving green grass

@rosettiwrites 10 дней назад

I worked on a negative painting once. It didn't matter how hard I tried, it kept telling me I'd never make it as an artist.

@flockzzn 11 дней назад

great video, as always!

Very helpful, thank you

@newpractice 11 дней назад

Very cool. I have a practice of ink drawing trees. It is a lot of fun to try to instead of drawing a single leaf at all, to instead bring out the boundaries between. This is where a lot of life takes place ✅✅ Peace

"Cartoonify". Yes, that a nice word to express "simplifying without purpose".

@LoveBystroem 11 дней назад

i envy and pity those who havent followed james for a longer time. you probably have a lot to watch and learn, which I wish I did (got stuff to practice and discover on my own, just not a lot of great videos left to watch), but its too bad you haven't been able to apply and learn from this great material before now, cause you've probably missed a lot of useful stuff.

@JamesGurney 11 дней назад

Thank you, and that's an interesting mix of emotions. I arrived "later in life" (I was probably 35--1993) to an awareness of some of my heroes, including Winsor McCay, Adolph Menzel, and William Wordsworth. Those big influencers hit me differently in mid-life than they did in teen years. When I was 17, I was well aware of other heroes: R. Crumb, Norman Rockwell, M.C. Escher, Howard Pyle, and Albrecht Durer. It must be so different growing up now with the internet all around us.

@ileanaruppert2294 11 дней назад

Quick correction, in the character "ma" it's the sun that's peeking through the gates, not the moon ;) thank you for this informative and calming video!

@sujanithtottempudi2991 11 дней назад

I find negative painting very tedious...one of the reason i left watercolour...now into gouache. Im ok using thick opaque white paint petals rather than negative paint...but interesting to just watch. Thanks ❤

@tthomas184 11 дней назад

My thoughts exactly...why make painting harder than it is? Find the easy way.

@victor1804 12 дней назад

Thanks for all your work and dedication! For me, a guy very low on money living in a third world country, is very hard to get this kind of technical education in my lenguage. Have you considered adding subtitles in spanish and other lenguages?

@JamesGurney 12 дней назад

Thanks. I try to publish the English subtitles that RU-vid generates. I had assumed RU-vid could generate them in other languages.

@kynzihall9479 10 дней назад

If you want a art tutorial, you'll have to slow down the video. The video is hard to follow because of the speed ups. I understand why the speed ups, but hard to follow. This video is informative and that is all.
