Oddly enough, I tend to use baby oil to clean my brushes as it nourishes the bristles. What I have noticed is how much easier it is to paint with a larger brush than it is with a smaller one when getting the foundations in place. I am just started to paint now that I am approaching 70. Am sure that more is learned by watching the great artists that are kind enough to share their work through media.
To work at your speed is a real challenge for me just because of insufficient experience. Great to see how you put colours together so effortlessly and effectively! 😅. Well done. 👍
Watching you paint has opened my eyes to see my surroundings in a new way. I always look for red in the clouds now and sometimes see shapes in the foreground rather than things. You are a gentle man and your videos are soothing as well as instructive. Thank you.
Great video and a brilliant painting. You have inspired me to try out oils rather than my acrylics and to swap the details for being more loose. You have a lovely voice and you make me laugh. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the views around your area. I now see where you are coming from in your paintings... makes so much more sense... you paint what's around you. Stunning! I have always had great admiration and appreciation for your paintings here on UA-cam. I'm so grateful to have found you here. I have tried some of your techniques, but of course my paintings are very different from yours. You are a master artist. Thanks so very much for sharing your talent with us.
I have been following your videos for some time now and have never not watched to the end. always enjoyable and informative. You have managed to make me attempt a seascape in oils today and whilst I did enjoy the time I spent on the painting it wasn't too successful in my opinion, i would love to paint skies in the same way that you do and dare say that practice will improve my technique. this painting was the first in oils for me in over 40 years. Never say never EH? Thankyou for the inspiration Stuart.
Clouds have changed, in their shapes and lets say composition, many densities, tubular connections, movement of shapes, inside the cloud tube. Huge anomalies, jutting out of the billows and whisps. Light coming through at sunset, backlighting variations. Fascinating. Love your talks, kind sir
I am obsessed with clouds 😂. I’m going to keep watching and get the nerve up to do this on a large canvas that I have.. I need to CHILL and do this!!!!!! 🤣🙏🏻👍👍👍😘
A favorite element of not☕️The best approach and technique for creating and integrating clouds in any painting. Even a beginner can achieve satisfying results. Thank you, Stuart🐈🌙❤️🌺
I loved the way that the red blends into the sky. I bought a box of 2 inch chip brushes today to work on skyscrapers. Thank you for a very entertaining video.
Couldn't have been a better time for me. I needed this lesson .So helpful. I learn every time from your teaching . Thankyou Stuart. Such a lovely tutorial. The colours too are so interesting. Effective painting. Now to make a new start tomorrow.
As the film panned across you landscape, I understood your paintings in that moment, and a little, in you. Im studying your approach and I see that you seem to execute first with suggestion, how everything looks like what the brain thinks it is. then comes action of using paper and Q tips.. setting in the details, but then the star of the show, the clouds again suggestion, action but now enters skill, and that is painting what you see everyday outside your window. GENUIS! Thank you, im learning.
Magnificent sky Stuart. Glad you are feeling better now. The only thing I have against the thumbs up button is it only allows one to like it once. If you click again, it unlikes it. Often I need to watch your videos more than once, as they are long and I cant concentrate that long, wont rwmember everything and have other things to do but may come back to watch a specific part later. Not sure if that helps your algorith though. Today I have watched this in 3 parts.. and will likely revisit another day.
Wow Stuart, I can't get over how much that first photo in particular looks like the landscapes you paint, and the skies and clouds of the other photos as well!
I really enjoyed seeing the video of your area. Your love for it is reflected in all your work that I have seen. Now this painting is a beautiful tonalism! Great clouds and so simple the landscape yet so captivating! I have seen all your videos and rewatch them all the time. You have given me courage to keep on going and trying. I am 77 years old! (It is what it is, and I have issues too with health so I understand your situation.) But this painting has inspired me to do a more tonal painting! Thank you for helping people learn this way. 🖌😊
I'm enjoying all these videos so immensely! And I really love these "lots of talking" painting videos. Thank you so much for the information and the inspiration!! Sharon, from North Carolina❤️
Your "cloudscapes" are most impressive, and they have a special "mood" which is most relaxing. Maybe one day you can do a sunset-ish one, with lots of little high cirrusclouds in all kinds of wild colors? Being rather primitive I like saturated sunset colors. But that's just me.
Hello Stuart,another wonderful sky. Have never not watched one of your videos till the end. I find them INTERESTING and very informative. Iceland has many Volcanos and lots of ice .Greenland however is almost totally covered in ice for 9 months of the year and a few Volcanos that are are dormant. Iceland is in fact a developing volcanic island. Spent a few months there in the late 60s at the time "Circe " was forming as a new island . Quite an interesting experience. Stay well and good luck with recovering your natural voice.
I tuned in partly to relax, your big sky and clouds are very calming! Another true work of art. This makes me think of the Southwest in the USA, flat land, buttes, and big sky. Love it, and if you add more I am sure it will be even better.
Thank you! The clouds on Saturday were incredible over here near the coast as well. Absolutely would buy a brush! As I’m not to far away I should see if there’s a train I can take when (if) you’re doing a weekend or retreat thing.
I drop off as well, but I come back, and too bad I can't mark those comebacks and the times I rewatch. Maybe you know when that occurs. And, finally, thanks teach.
Hello Mr. Davies.... I'm an artist and just subscribed. I'm primarily an impressionist. I too, am into clouds and stormy skies. While searching youtube for tutorials on how I might improve my own cloud work I came across you. I never looked any further after that. Very, very nice sir. I've been watching your videos and recall you saying toward the end of one particular video (don't know which one).... "Next time I will show you how to do tree foliage up close". That's one of the roadblocks in my work. I never saw the demonstration and wonder if you might provide a link or steer me towards the video that demonstrates how you do that. Close up foliage, trees, leaves etc. Any information you provide would be helpful. I truly admire your technique. It changed my approach and direction of my work overnight. Thank you. I look forward to hearing back from you. ~Stay Creative
You are a remarkable painter and teacher. As for your voice .... its lovely and soothing as far as I'm concerned. I also enjoy your words , pazzazing for example!
Hi, Stu. I've just watched a very interesting video (John Wellington Color Theory Master Class), on why it's OK to use Black. He made several greens, just by using yellow & black, which looks very similar to the 'landscape green', that you make. And he made a good point, about using black, "Why use expensive paints, to make a cheap paint?"
Wow very nice Painting stuart.i like you style in Painting.i want to ask One questions. Oil colour can mix whit turpentine or linseed oil. If not linseed can mix with sun flower oil
Stuart you used to paint on a gessoed (if that is a word) board quite often so I followed suit, is there a particular reason you have moved to canvas or is it just because you can. Thanks in advance.
I put the bird channel for cats on youtube through the big flatscreen tv. They now sit in front of the tv, waiting for me to put it on! I had to secure the tv because they think the birds flew behind the tv. Why did i start this? The mouse channel does nothing for them.

I could watch you paint and listen to you explain all day long. I appreciate your ability and teaching technique. Well done, Stuart.

Oh Stuart, I do love your videos, educational, entertaining and humorous. Brilliant.
I THINK THIS IS ONE OF YOUR BEST CLOUD PAINTINGS!!
Thanks alot. Wish I had the internet when I was a young man. I am grateful I have it now. Canvases and boards are primed oil paints purchased.😅
Great video and a brilliant painting. You have inspired me to try out oils rather than my acrylics and to swap the details for being more loose. You have a lovely voice and you make me laugh. Thank you.

Beautiful area he's in!
Absolutely mesmerizing. I could feel the clouds changing as you painted as they do in real life....truly amazing
I love that you really think while painting. This is rare.
Something about this dramatic sky! Gorgeous🤗 just beautiful. Wonderful treat for a Sunday night..
THUNDERHEADS
The castle🏰 shown at the beginning would look great as a sort of silhouette in this painting.

Yes, I struggle with clouds! Hope you are feeling better!!
Stuart don't be overly anxious The universe will unfold as it should You are a great guy
I am obsessed with clouds 😂. I’m going to keep watching and get the nerve up to do this on a large canvas that I have.. I need to CHILL and do this!!!!!! 🤣🙏🏻👍👍👍😘
Do it. If you don't like it, take it off. Set aside a whole day to relax & paint.
Stuart, this painting is the most amazing one ever!!!!. And somehow I am going to make clouds like these. I’m so so enthralled. Thank you.
A favorite element of not☕️The best approach and technique for creating and integrating clouds in any painting. Even a beginner can achieve satisfying results. Thank you, Stuart🐈🌙❤️🌺
I loved the way that the red blends into the sky. I bought a box of 2 inch chip brushes today to work on skyscrapers. Thank you for a very entertaining video.
So great to have these videos to look forward to watching.
Hello. I love watching your clouds take shape on the canvas.
Stuart, you hit the ball out of the park with this one! Keep shining friend 🌟
"You will be an oil landscape painter. Resistance is futile." Thank you, designation 1 of 1.
Absolutely!
Thank you, Stuart. Such a beautiful painting. You are, as always, an inspiration. Looking forward to the next one❣️❣️❣️❣️

That one is beautiful! I like that they are large in size.
There’s a ghostly face top right looking downward out of your cloud l love the overall painting
Yes there is a face and he's smiling. He likes your painting too.😊
Ok this sky has to be one of my favorites that you have done, just exquisite ❤
Stunning work!
Really love the clouds❤
Fantastic clouds

Stunning work ❤ The sky is amazing !

I have been painting acrylic for a few years oils are a different animal trying to get up the courage to do an oil painting. You have inspired me. ❤
Good morning and THANKS 🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻‼️🌿🌿🌿🌿‼️
Thank you too!

Thanks for your wonderful demos! So enjoy your painting style. Enjoying from Canada.
Wow Stuart, I can't get over how much that first photo in particular looks like the landscapes you paint, and the skies and clouds of the other photos as well!
Love your humour! and your lax-a-daisy way of painting!

This sky is Wonderfull
Fantastic sky, thanks for sharing.
It reminds me of a lava field on a stormy day on the Big Island Hawaii.
Wonderful to see you again. More power to your paint brush.
I'm enjoying all these videos so immensely! And I really love these "lots of talking" painting videos. Thank you so much for the information and the inspiration!!
Sharon, from North Carolina❤️
I've had great success using and trying your technique and examples. Thanks
Great to hear!
Watched this late last night. I’m trying it today😀
Almost finished! Hoping to show on Saturday 😀
Very enjoyable indeed

Brilliant Stuart - a bit of jiggery pokkery and scrabbling works wonders..
Brilliant❤

Awesome painting!
That would make a nice ocean stormy sea scape
Thank you! The clouds on Saturday were incredible over here near the coast as well. Absolutely would buy a brush! As I’m not to far away I should see if there’s a train I can take when (if) you’re doing a weekend or retreat thing.
Beautiful, Stuart! I’m going to go out and buy a large enough canvas today!
Cracking painting. Love your style 👌🏼
Thanks
Thank you!
Very good, one of your best.
once again you have mastered your work. You also could write your own dictionary with the quirky words you use.. I love this piece. thank you
Very nice! Love the color scheme and the ease in which you paint. Thanks for sharing. Hoping to have a go at it some time
Cheets Stuart.
Fab stuff! Might attempt to apply this to the stuff I do in a way
I drop off as well, but I come back, and too bad I can't mark those comebacks and the times I rewatch. Maybe you know when that occurs. And, finally, thanks teach.
Its beautiful im in west Yorkshire uk 🇬🇧 which has stunning skys and views 😊

DO YOU EVER DO PAINTINGS WITH LIGHTNING IN THEM? I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! THEY INSPIRE ME TO DO BETTER!
No I don't. It's one of those things that can look totally naff if you don't get it right.
@@StuartDavies TY. I TRIED TO AND IT LOOKED QUITE CARTOONY LOOKING.
11:29 classic.
I thought your pic had yiu wearing a patch over your eye - my thoughts were Stuart is now a pirate 😁
Keep it march and put in some water……and some ducks or geese - lol
I've always had difficulty with Sky's. After watching your videos, I stopped painting and began to paint, if that makes any sense 🤔
Pizazz ful 😂❤
I love the hat, you look distinguished
AN ANAZUBG PAINTING,,,ABD ANAMAZING LESSON
, THANK YOU
Wow very nice Painting stuart.i like you style in Painting.i want to ask One questions. Oil colour can mix whit turpentine or linseed oil. If not linseed can mix with sun flower oil
Thank you! The internet has some interesting things to say about that!
Stuart you used to paint on a gessoed (if that is a word) board quite often so I followed suit, is there a particular reason you have moved to canvas or is it just because you can. Thanks in advance.
I like both surfaces, so I guess I'm just playing the stream!
Very nice !! Wich médium do you pains this. Tanks
Oil paint.
I put the bird channel for cats on youtube through the big flatscreen tv. They now sit in front of the tv, waiting for me to put it on! I had to secure the tv because they think the birds flew behind the tv. Why did i start this? The mouse channel does nothing for them.
