Ten Minutes Oil Sketch Plus More - Oil Painting with Stuart Davies 

Wonderful! You must be one of the best teachers on RU-vid!

Please keep up the waffling. I only partly tune in for art - about which I'm learning a lot. But I also tune in for your particular brand of waffling about this, that and the other. I find it relaxing and soothing!

Please don’t change your style. I love your waffling!

Please keep on waffling..I have watched and listened to every painting you posted. Its slways inspiring. Will start painting again soon. Sometime not painting helps painting. I need to take contemplative pauses to let it all sink in.

Absolutely don’t stop ‘waffling’. Your voice is very calming.

It's like magic right in front of your eyes

You know, if you want a calm weekend, forget the 10-minute videos and chill. Then get to it when you have time. We are not a population of frenetic artistry. We listen to you for your words of wisdom. No matter when the pearls drip out, we're ready to watch/listen. No pressure needed.

Ponies to the mark! Appropriate alarm for a race! Bravo💚💚💚 My favorite paintings.

The longer and more detailed the better especially for those of us renewing our old passion or just beginning I like and find very helpful, the close-up detail work with the camera zooming in one area so we see each brushstroke, direction and so forth Thanks so much, Stuart. My brain completely understands what you're doing, but when I come to paint, there's a big disconnect between my sense memory and my hands. A bit discouraged today about that. Stopped painting in college oil painting when a nun prof was angry with me the whole semester and would come and wipe out my painting so I had to reconstruct. Never painted again after that but worked din many art galleries in management, sales, etc. Loved that! So many people had traumatic experiences early days in art at school and sadly, we've gone without painting for many years or decades, believing that we are no good So your approach and gentle encouragement is quite tear-inducing. Hope to go to France someday for a workshop.

Please keep waffling on, Stuart. You are a mine of information, plus you have a very soothing voice.

you are a true artist. I am watching you with admiration.

I like your commentary, inventing new words like 'twiggery', 'lookatable', 'de-alienate' etc

Stuart, please do give us that "day in the life"! Another stunning video. Thank you so much!

Thank you for explaining when you paint, I have learned so much from listening and watching!

This is one of my favorite ones you have done on here. I dont know how you do it maybe its the decades of experience but you are so chaotic yet tactical when you paint it is utterly impressive.

A GREAT confidence booster! Thank you, very much, for giving up a bit of your quiet weekend - to create this video for us. . . Cheers.

Please don't cut out your commentary. You are very inspirational and I love your painting. Thank you for all the inspiration you have given me.

Lol it WAS trumpets !! This is a very nice lesson, and really cool paintings !! Thank you Stuart !! Much appreciated !

This is fantastic! Thank you so much! I cannot wait to give the sketch a go! Please keep on “wafffling”. …it is a delight to hear your thoughts!!💚💚💚💚

Yes Stuart, I have made the same brag about my style of art and of what I can do and what I am capable of doing, so you do not need to worry. Your confidence is relative to your experience and belief of your natural talent. I have told my clients ,in the construction industry, I can produce that for you. They wonder, till I do it. Your top of form, no doubt. Love your work. I understand your comments. I will follow you forever, God bless.

I love doing quick paintings myself.

Master, thank you for giving us a bit of your inspiration, we invite you to Mexico where you will be able to see and live the splendor of new landscapes. Hugs and blessings

STUART, you are so young !!!! Don’t receive the negative report. It’s possible that root cause of heart issues( I HAD them) issue is sourced in THYROID ( you’d have to go to a NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR VIT B IS for ‘ nerves’ look at your intake. Where are you getting iodine intake? How about healthy fats, like organic butter Raw organic coconut oil I wish I was there to help you and enjoy your lessons. You have taught me so much I am so grateful! Thank you🖌🎨🖌

Twiggesque. Great as always.

Excellent paintings, Stuart, all of them. Those are masterpieces and inspiration pure. And don't stop telling your thoughts and little stories, it's all much appreciated. 💙

Greetings Mr. Davies. By seven minutes my eyes were tearing up. By nine minutes I was fully ready to walk right into this world that you created. (Maybe sit down under that tree & play my harmonica, haha).- Love it! It's just what I needed today. Thank you for the inspiration! 🎨🖌

we put up with you because you're bloody brilliant. Seriously, were it only so in my life that every influence was as easy to take as you have been. In my sixties, I think I can honestly say that there have been perhaps four people from whom I might have learnt half so much, and only one additionally, that I have learnt as much, but on the piano,, before an automobile accident 30 years ago took that away. Speaking for myself, I think you are quite a grand fellow and a blessing in many lives. I smile when I wonder if your wife (doubtless suffering for many years) has the same opinion of you. 🙂

Beautiful video , mr Davies. Thank you for sharing from America. Hope you've been well.🤗👍🙏

Thank you! 💗

"I hope it's not anything rude!" -- hahaha, aww. Thank you so much for this channel! I actually use heavy body acrylics, because oils and turpentine make me nervous and I can't be bothered, and even though it works differently your videos have taught me SO much. You can actually get similar effects with lots of mixing medium and a spray-mister bottle thing - painting is much more fun since your videos. Thank you!

Great demonstration, including the speaking!

YES!

Bravo 🍀🎨👍💯

This (you) are amazing. The way you make "nothing" look beautiful. Also, I think you could sell your voice and method of speaking as a calming sleep aide.

I like pure syrup with my 'waffles', you never fail to provide only the best...

I really enjoy your waffling, as I learn a lot... Lead on MacDuff

My word you never cease to amaze me. What a beautiful video thank you 🙏

Very enjoyable and informative, thank you! P.S...I wouldn't mind watching "A Day In the Life of You the Artist." I wouldn't find it boring in the least!

Love watching you create and your comments are very entertaining! Thank you. 💓💓💓

Thank you for an excellent video

Another awesome video

OMG, thank you so much. This was one of the best. Your technique is awesome. I can only hope to get it down myself using such a large brush. You say things like you are repeating too much, you can never repeat too much when doing the work you're doing. I hope to do one of your zoom classes. Thanks again for your videos. Peace and love

Amazing again Stuart,you never fail to inspire! 😘❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That's amazing

Loved it. Thanks

Absolute legend of an artist 💪

Enjoyed this so much!

Thanks for the beautiful amospheres you create. Thank you.

Luv this!

There's nothing not to like about your videos, they're very authentic and I love what you do and I love hearing you talk, all your paintings are beautiful, thank you :)

Amazing!

Stuart you are a very talented person and I some day want to paint like you do... Love your videos

Beautiful painting.

Brilliant 👏👏👏

I will try in acrylics.

Your a great teacher and amazing artist. Love watching you create! Thanks for sharing your skills, and your damn funny too, had a few laughs listening to you. :) Cheers.

Fantastic!!!

Love your amazing masterwork.

Beautiful!

Beautiful 😍!

Inspiration…at its best. Thank you.

Beautifull. Thanks!

Amazing!!! I love it!!! ♥️♥️♥️

10 minute inspiration! Thank you.

Thank you, maestro, great teaching moment.

Wow. I love that 10-minute masterpiece. I haven’t watched you in couple days, but what a relief to see you and your work again. I love it all. Yes, I too would love to see how you clean your brushes. I couldn’t get mine clean at all. Tried it with the dish soap they use to clean ducks etc from oil spills. I wiped off, soaked, wiped, soaked. Still not clean deep at metal part. Or should i really be using laundry soap used for clothes?? I’ll try that next. Thanks so much. Back to another video…

Awesome painting

That was brilliant. What an excellent idea for a video, capturing your expertise, knowledge, & teaching skills. I’m going to use what you demonstrated in your 10 min 🎨 on a painting I’ve already started. Excited to see how it turns out. Ty Professor!! 😀

I put my easel together and now to make my acrylics act like your oil...thanks for your videos.

Enjoyed watching your video. Awesome tutorial 😀👍

I like to watch the "waffling" because it give me some peace about my own waffling. It means that even a long-time experienced painter has some double-thinking about ideas. I can do that if I just give it a try. if it doesn't work get rid of it. I can do that. I like hearing your "thoughts" spoken out loud.Your train of thought is a lot of your painting, I think.

So beautiful.In just ten minutes?I am a big fan of you.

Hi, Stuart, I hope things are going well for my favorite painter on YT

Invaluable information! To do this in acrylic, which dries just about instantly, you need to add glycerin . . . or something.

Wow, you're really good at drawing the scenery ~ ^^😉😉👍👍👍👍

MAESTRO MUCHAS FELICIDADES POR COMPARTIR SU ARTE, ES IMPRESIONANTE , ME FACINA SU ESTILO . SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO

❤👍

I have been enjoying your painting so much and love the style and feeling. Can that same technique with the paper towel be used with guache paint ?

Amazing, loved this. Could it be done in Acrylic.

I am inspired to try that ten minute painting, I have been trying too hard and as a result my paintings lack energy. As for the glazing on the second painting, wow. Another gorgeous sky, looks like marbling. Please don’t stop chatting, the chatting always brings an extra dimension to what you do, and I learn so much through listening to what you’re thinking as you paint. As for your idea of videoing a day in the life … what I’d really like to see is you washing your brushes! No matter what I do my brushes never come up clean, I can never get rid of all the paint, and the bristles have lost their softness. I use washing up liquid working it through the brush as much as possible then leave them in laundry detergent for a bit but clearly I’m doing something wrong! How long do brushes last anyway? Cheers 😁

I've come across some eight-year-old videos on RU-vid of an American artist named Dennis Sheehan whose painting tools, colors and method are nearly identical to yours. Have you heard of him? The similarities between your painting approach and his are remarkable. Anyway, enjoying your videos, as usual. Thanks for making them!

🙂

I would expect Pooh and Christopher Robin, Eyore and Piglett to come over the horizon any minute...

Beautiful. Do you have a lesson on your palette? I love the palette you use but really struggle getting the tones right

Here for the painting, stayed for the waffle.

Talking definitely slows you down.. I’d guess what you stopped at would have been 10 mins had you been alone. Wonderful talent. Thank you for sharing it 👏

Thank you for your videos. You are a great teacher and a better artist. I have a question. I want to varnish my oil paintings as soon as possible, I can't wait 6 months for it. Is there any varnish I can use without risk for the work? Thanks Mr Davies.

The white on the left keeps bothering me 😃

A trumpet can be rude. Depends how you play it. 🤔

Hi, does your patreon show your palette for those of us still learning color?

Could use a whole class just on manipulating my brushes.

How even do you do it mr stuart

How do you ecologically dispose of used oil & turpentine?

NOTE: If you go to 10.5 minutes, we're okay with that, too.

The paper you use. Is it paper towels or stiffer paper. ? Where can I find this roll of paper ? Thky

Hello. How can I apply your method to Acrylic Canvas? I started at 75, I have 77 now and I have no power to go to oil and plywood. Thanks for the answer. Be blessed.

Is red ochre the same as transparent oxide red?

I love Vermeer- just copied ‘the girl with the pearl earring’ . My favourite work so far - looks simple but….

Don’t cut your waffling. It makes you you!

For some reason the white edge does not feel right to me .just my own feeling I am sure
