I watch all of your amazing videos to the very end and more than once. Please, never stop talking. Your narration is so helpful and quite relaxing as an added bonus. I imagine that your mellow voice certainly calms the fear of getting started painting for your many thousands of UA-cam students.
I should add that I am a graduate of a now defunct art school & you are a better actual instructor than the painting teachers that "taught" me in school. I worked in commercial art (before computers) for a few years but, never attempted oil painting just for my own personal satisfaction until now. Decades later. Please stay healthy and continue putting up videos.
👍🏽Second that, absolutely. His narrative calms me down, conducive to a looser feel to my painting.
The fearlessness you’re painting with just makes me feel braver to let go and try to be less “perfect”. Utterly amazing
This is moo from Saudi Arabia I hop I met you some day .You were great help to me
@@user-ti6ke8jn6q Hello. If you are interested, I wanted you to know Stuart is doing live Zoom classes two Saturdays a month. The next one is September 25th. Stuart’s videos teach me many things too😊. I am now a Patron through his Patreon account.
I pay only $15.00 a month for the live group Zoom classes as a Patron. No other costs. Stuart creates a painting in approximately 60 minutes. After that part ends, those of us attending the Zoom class will talk with Stuart and each other. We can ask or type questions to him as well. Or, you can remain silent and just listen😊. It is a very enjoyable event. You can speak to him directly in the zoom class should you choose 😊. Happy painting 🎨

Hi Stuart,
Thank you for inviting me to watch your video of Dramatic Sky. I love it! Right now I’m focusing on more using color to give my paints more contrast with my sky’s and water paintings. Really appreciate that. I’m giving my art a 100% since a job loss in back in May.
You can paint for 4 hours and I'll still watch till the end, I love creating like you do, it's like reading my Bible, can't get enough. Aloha 🤙❤️
Thank you again, I am shamelessly trying to improve my painting by watching you. I find the real time video perfect for following what you are doing. I love getting into the 'zone' when painting and I get the sense of that watching you work. Fiona
Mr.Davias, I'm so happy to be a witness to your paintings and techniques. I love to here you speak and there's nothing wrong you can do. The viewers have to be patient and understanding of your time. Otherwise, they should go to a gallery where they can just spend 1 minute on each painting and not learn a thing or two. I'm so inspired by you, your the first person ever to speak the truth about oils and how you don't follow the rules. Because of this I'm going to start painting in oils and give it a whirl. I was gifted some oils when I was younger and put them away because I was afraid of them. I'm untrained but I have always painted in water colors and acrylics. I'm so excited to try oils that my first attempt will the beginning of July. Thank you for sharing.
I love to watch this video from the beginning to the very end and see the magic that comes from it as you play with both the sky and the landscape. Such a talented man. You have been a great inspiration as I learn to paint in this style. My most favorite style anymore. Having started painting 30 years ago with watercolors, I no longer am interested in water color. Oil painting is so much more exciting for me these days. Thank you again for the many wonderful videos you have made.❤
I have loved every video of yours I have watched so far. I not only watch them all the way through but come back and watch them again...and again. I also enjoy your monologues, especially when you talk of your college days.
I watch all the way through each time because I am mesmerised by what unfolds, and thats a compliment. I am buying oils so I can give it a bash.
I have watched this video many many times. I take screen shots of different stages. I am painting in acrylics. Only because I already have a lot of them. So to make the paint move and blend I use Atelier thick slow medium. Also with Atelier paints you can spray the canvas gently with water and ‘reactivate’ the paint. You can also thin the medium with a little water. I must say, that my painting does not look like yours Stuart, although I am reasonably pleased with the result, but it is not finished yet. It is my intention to change to oils sooner or later. So, thank you Stuart. You are a great inspiration to me. I have only put the info on using acrylics because other viewers have asked about them.
Thank you. Your post is helpful to me, also acrylic painter, beginner 😅💕🕊️🌏🕊️
I really like this kind of dramatic sky. At first, all such dark shades and even brown went to heaven, but the end result is so amazing! Many thanks!
It’s ceaselessly amazing to me how a relative few craftily executed brush strokes can be used to such convincing effect.
I love you landscapes!
As a child I grew up around artist and it would amaze me how one could take a blank canvas and create such wonderful amazing images with paint , To be gifted in such a way is nothing but genius
Beautiful! I love alll your skies, they are amazing! The contrast with the peaceful lands makes it so stunning! Always looking forward to your next video!
Oh, I love this kind of landscape paintings! Simply beautiful!
Thank you very much!
I love watching you paint and listening to all of your educational techniques. Thank you so very much!! You are a fabulous artist ❤
As a young "artist" I can confidently say that you are such an inspiration to me for oil painting. I always get frustrated with oils, but I am in awe of your process. Thank you for your videos!
Anyone who doesn't watch to the end clearly doesn't want to learn from you. You are inspiring me to pick up my brushes again. Thank you, Stuart!
Thanks for sharing your techniques. Extremely informative as well as entertaining. Might make it down to the Aquitaine one day..who knows?
Its just amazing how beautifull the painting like magic appears as a true dream landscape 💗
Each brush stroke had my imagination going. At the end I was taken away with the final painting. I love it and thank you for sharing.
Beautiful as always! I love the paintings at the beginning of the video as well. Your my favorite artist at the moment and I have a new love for tonalism!
Thanks again for another video. Love that you have no music as I find it easier to listen to your tips. 'Normal time' is also so relaxing, suiting your style.
Thanks again Stuart. Love the long complete videos, and the wisdom of experience is as important as the work itself.
Real time shows your technique and makes for an excellent learning experience. I watch every video to the very end and often more than once. Thank you!
Thank you, Stuart! Your technique amazes me! I enjoy watching these to the very end!!🎨👩🎨❤️
Me fascina verlo desde q comienza hasta q termina. Me encantaría saber inglés suficiente para gozar también d sus comentario. Es extraordinario y comparte con alegria sus técnicas .Lo adoro.💕
This is absolutely beautiful. The expression of space and detail is amazing.
I have been painting for 20 plus years and am enjoying watching your technique. I did one this week on canvas but made sure to paint a good layer of acrylic on the pre gesso's canvas first with some gel in the paint which created a good smooth surface. I was very happy with the results. Thank you for sharing with us.
Can not wait to try your technique in painting. Thank you for the lessons on line. I will keep watching!!!
I watch all your painting tutorials to the end. Many times more than once! Thanks you, Stuart.
Love your videos and your style. I watch the videos till the very end and believe it or not, over and over again.
Thank you for your instructions, and calm soft spoken honesty.
Its really encouraging to find someone painting without turps or mineral spirits. I have to avoid them because of some health issues I have and its been near impossible to find much info about oil painting without - much less find a good demo. I'm also thrilled that you dont speed up the footage - thanks for these demos! Very informative and inspiring!
For those that don’t paint,you really don’t know how hard your brain tries to stop you from painting freely.Although it looks like and seems like putting paint in a free and what looks like random or accidental ways is the most difficult discipline. To not succum to the brain’s desire to make things symmetrical,orderly and balanced in a certain way is very,very hard to do. Of course the painting is balanced,symmetrical and orderly,but not in the way your brain tries to force you to do.For those of us who do paint,we know the pressure and traps our brains try to impose on us,kudos to you Spencer.Nicely done and presented. You know your medium well.
Thanks ... I'll tell Spencer :-)
Wow. Painting for you, seems to come incredibly easy. I love your interpretation of this beautiful sky and landscape!
Your so my brother from another mother LOL I so knew you had to love turner and constable.Your the only artist I see online,the rest are technicians or draftsmen.Your art is spontaneous and alive just like the two above. Im so saving to come to france one day :) thanks for making these videos
Thank you for sharing your gift. You make it look so easy. Lol Your work and technique is amazing!
Brilliant artist . Love watching your paintings . Thanks for all the tips which goes with it .
Dear Stuart, you did your usual magicians trick and I saw the scene establish itself before my very eyes. Loved the sky and I am going to have a go.
Your paintings are excruciatingly beautiful, i love your art work!
I love your paintings and am quite surprised what wonderful affects I get using your technique. I'm loving the largeness of the sky and the freedom with which I'm learning to abandon myself to 'feel' rather than to 'think'. How liberating! .....and fun! Thank you!
Wonderful Technique! I have been binge watching all your videos and have been mesmerized by them. Keep up the good work.👍
Simply beautiful!
Wonderful teaching videos, so far this evening, I've watched 4 back to back!! Plz do make more!
beautiful. Again it looks so much like Dartmoor. I love it. I love your style . wonderful atmosphere.
So relaxing to watch. Thanks for making the videos.
As always another great video. It will never cease to amaze me how a few strokes with a brush, a blob here and there and a wipe with kitchen roll can look so good. I always watch each to the end in amazement and almost hypnotised state by your soothing
voice. Regards
I love your paintings and the techniques you use. Thank you so much for taking the time to show these tutorials. You have inspired me to follow my passions and dreams from long ago.
I do , l watch all of them to the end because they are so beautiful and so cleverly dun 👍🦋
Amazing!
Listen and watching you gave peace!
You have inspired me to paint again for so long I did the Alexander and Ross technique but after so long it is difficult to feel satisfied but now your technique is giving me that wonderful feeling again that comes with painting I have been blessed with being able to see and do and I look forward to tutorial videos that I can purchase. The first painting I did last night came out so good I am hungry for more 😀👍
I watch all your videos to the end. Enjoy your relaxed talent.
Thanks great work😀
I definitely want to say, "thank YOU" for these videos.. they put a very special light to re-igniting my art passion! For that, you are most incredible.
Stuart, your work is so inspiring and reminiscent of Turner's atmospheres. Thank you for sharing.
Your paintings are exquisite, and your presentation gracious and elegant. Thank you so much!
❤ I love your style of oil paintings 🖼️ I have watched a good number of your videos all the way through. Thank you 🙏 for sharing and inspiring
Wow! You are absolutely brilliant! Thank you for giving me a tremendous gift of freedom by your generosity in sharing so deeply.
Stuart, Ive been oil painting for less than a year and am learning as much as I can to develop a technique and style of my own. The two paintings ive done recently, and based on your fantastic methods, have been met with disbelief, so keep the videos coming please as they are so inspiring and positive. Thanks.
as usual, inspiring and impressive!... a few more days until my paints are delivered (i had to replenish my stash) and cannot wait to dive into it again, this time with a Stuart Davies twist... and i always listen to music and i choose what i listen to depending on the vision i have at that moment, mostly classical and jazz... i treat your videos as lessons/courses, therefore i watch until the very end... thank you!...
Beautiful painting, thx for sharing this with us. I always loved style like this but never have tried anything similar. I paint (mostly with acrylics now cause of kid in the house) mediterranean scenes, stone old houses, olive trees, old boats on sea, really wanted to try something loose as this and you truly inspired me.
Stuart, I am a new painter and am enjoying your videos very much. They're inspirational. You make it look easy, which it is not, and what's not obvious, I think, is all the painting experience and knowledge you've accumulated over the years. Please keep the videos coming. Thanks so much.
love your statement the landscape is just something for under the sky !!!
Great video and well presented! Kudos on how easy you make "detail without details" happen. I'm self-taught and not a landscape painter but your videos have given me a lot to think about, I was able to apply your methodology to a recent charcoal drawing I did and what a major difference, added a few minor details at the end! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your videos. I love your technique and paintings.
So glad I found this channel. I’m doing research for a commission and I don’t do landscapes often....watching your videos has been a great help.
Really enjoyed this video, twice, all the way to the end. I’m looking for part 2 to see how you glazed the painting… Thanks for all you do!
One usually paints from the back to the front; sky first, front items last. You actually do the opposite and I find that very refreshing. Certainly for my own style (not that i am a taught painter, nor that i consider myself good). I'll try this approach to landscapes. And i like the way you use colour. And yes, i watched till the end
Thanks, Johan! There are a lot of teachers pushing their students to start at the top and it's wrong! You can start painting anywhere that suits you.
Love your tutorials. Love your easy conversations in between describing what you are doing. Love the stories you throw in when we are just watching you paint. My daughter and I both paint, and we dream about coming to France (from Australia) someday to take your classes. We can dream. In the meantime we will watch your videos and give it a go. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks so much!
Another fantastic piece. I love it when I find a video of yours I've yet to watch.
Always watch to the end. Always blessed! You be blessed as well!
I always watch to the end. You’re a fab teacher
Beautiful!
You sound great . Loud and clear !
Your stunning paintings certainly have a Turner influence and yes I do watch your videos all the way through! Wonderful.
I've only come across your vedio sessions recently and have enjoyed watching imensely. I really enjoy the way you make detail without detail. It is a joy and a pleasure watching you create with oils. Thank you for giving out of your creative self to teach others how to create depth and drama in paintings. Thank you. And I do watch your vedio's to the end.
You say your paintings are mainly about the sky but your landscape work is amazing. Nice work! I like hearing what an artist is thinking and intending to do as he or she goes about it. Great video! Thanks
I watch all the way through because easy step is very interesting. I especially love your skies.
These videos are very nice to watch! You’re voice is also very relaxing! Love your paintings!
Wow...how beautiful they are...! Thank you Stuart, I found a good sky composition & color example to paint on for the theme I am working on, from your purple sky !
you are a great teacher and person
WOW! Fantastic
Amazing work. Love your videos.
Very interesting ,beautiful effects..thank you for the lesson,very inspiring
I love your style. I would call it “deliberately not deliberate”
Hi Stuart,
Im in deep love with what u do. Most inspiring thought was ,the perception of angle of horison u create. I myself was confused puzzled for days and this is exactly the answer i was looking for ,ur techniques imean . I feel like u understand what im saying.
Its beautiful whether here where i live ,n i have been following u just for a day and sort of life changing u can say. Hope to see u soon.
My daughter earned her BFA degree at the Cleveland Institute of Art. It was a 5-year program that was totally challenging. First requirement was a woodworking class so she learned first to make her own canvases and work with tools. Classes were 8-hour, and 1-day per week, but design and painting classes were challenging and demanding. She learned and went on to earn an MFA from the Claremont Graduate University in California. She has never stopped growing and thinking, but I'm sure her painting has challenged her to be an amazing person.
i always watch to the end Stuart, just tried your method, didn't do to bad, really enjoyed it thanks.
Love it!
Ach I tried to keep loose with my painting Stuart, and slowly but surely got all rigid and uniform 🙄🙄..is so hard to not do this !!! I know I dont trust myself . On another note ...this video was so good . Please keep posting. It extremely motivating and inspiring. 🌻
Learning so much from you. Love your style
HI STUART, I AM FROM VIRGINIA IN THE US. I LOVE YOUR STYLE OF PAINTING! I ALSO WILL TELL YOU THAT I AM ONE THAT WATCHES THEM FROM START TO FINISH. ON YOUR VIDEO THE ILLUSION OF DETAIL, YOU AMAZED ME AT HOW MUCH DETAIL YOU COULD SEE IN AN ILLUSION! :-) I ALSO LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT USING BRUSHES FROM THE HARDWARE STORE. SINCE 1978 I HAVE WORKED IN WATER COLOR, HOWEVER I LIKE TAKING COLOR THEORY AND APPLYING TO DIFFERENT ART FORMS AND FOUND MYSELF GROWING MORE INTERESTED IN OIL PAINTING. I AM SO HAPPY AND PLEASED THAT YOU FREELY SHARE YOUR EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE IN VIDEO HERE. YOU HAVE HELPED ME NOT TO BE SO FEARFUL OF OIL PAINTING. I WILL ADD HERE THAT I WAS DRAWN TO YOUR "LOOSE & FREE" STYLE, AS THAT STYLE IS THE STYLE I LIKE DOING IN WATERCOLOR.
I really liked when you flattened the horizon some. Beautiful
Lovely video and painting Staurt! Thanks for sharing your unique, free style with us. I guess I'm a serious painter as well; I watch every one of your videos start to finish! How could I not? Your style is captivating and inspiring! We appreciate you
I absolutely love your paintings and videos I want to try your techniques and will soon. Keep the videos coming
Great artwork.
Ur work is masterful...my father never understood that I was an artist...I always was and am...he thought I should be an engineer so I would always have a job! I told him I wanted to play music and be a fictional horror writer ( since I excelled in school with writing)...he never heard my work, never read a novel never saw my oil works and never came to my concerts where I played lead guitar and sang lead. I told him, “ dad not all of us are meant to be engineers, some of us create beauty in this drab boring world. I see beyond what the normal is...I see beauty in a sky, a field, an ocean, etc...). I always waited for that word of encouragement and a nod of understanding...never happened. My mother nurtured the artist in me...and sir, u too nurture the artist I am...I told dad I may never me a Monet or Renoir or DaVinci but I am me and no one delivers art the way I see it...thank u sir. And I apologize for the “novel” expose...I meant it to be a line or two.
Thanks, Mike! I completely understand.
Lover your free style making up panels now. Thank you
Love your work Stuart. I struggle with clouds but am excited to go forth and conquer. Thanks for your videos. And I do watch till the end even in the middle of the night when I can't sleep.
You are excellent company and I enjoyed watching the whole video and listening to you talk about what you were doing or whatever else you could think of to say was fine too. I only subscribed today and I've watched 4 or so of your videos already.
Thank you very much Stuart Davies, i´m starting to use flax oil instead of turpentine or liquin, cause of seeing the way you move the paint brushes and the high teachs of paints details without details, and a new art world is opening for me.
I'm not sure that I'd call myself a "serious" painter, but, I did watch your video till the end and subscribed. I've only been painting for about a year and have been only doing the wet on wet technique. Learned by watching Bob Ross and Bill Alexander videos. I think your work is wonderful! That sky is amazing!! Can't wait to see more.
