    Your hand has got billions of pixels. I can hardly believe it's painting. Every detail appears just so real. My compliments !

    Proof that painting can be a lot of work . No knockoff here .

    Thanks. I realized my painting was in the blocking in stage and I thought it was finished. Your work is mindfully executed with patience and skill. I also watch the moss ep. 150 and now I'm ready to bring my painting up a notch.

    @edwill62 5 років тому +2

    Patience is correct, and this technique will sure teach you that for sure...and I "think" or "assume" that is the one thing if not THE Thing ,so many struggle with while painting......this technique will cure impatience ...Lol and yes the moss is what i want to see most...Thanks again MJS for sharing this with all of us .

      As well as patience I think that many of us are never taught to work in layers when we're younger (unless later going to art school or being lucky with art teachers). For the longest time I thought all the great artists did their work in a single pass, top to bottom!

      Try looking at his Dads work. It’s a carbon copy in style yet he never gives him credit

    Thank you for providing the technique I needed to know for a painting I'm working on. I'm not as patient as you are I think...but it helps to know how to make a forest floor look realistic!

    Michael James Smith, Sometimes I think universe created this Nature with billion of brushes and colours so precisely, and luckily you have been gifted with some of them. God bless you.

    When I was a kid, I Used to watch Bob painting, now that im a little older I just love to watch you making painting great againg. You are the reason I love to paint

    • @DunkinBiscuits
      @DunkinBiscuits 5 років тому

      Me too, bob is a legend of his own but these are two very different artists, this is super realism at its finest and like you now that i am older this has really grabbed my attention, im going to try my luck at this approach maybe try doing one of his paintings, i certainly wont be expecting results like this lol and there wont really be room for happy accidents like bobs style but i feel really inspired by this, incredible talent

    You have to be the most talented photo realist painter I have ever seen! Some of your paintings look more realistic than the photos you use as reference.

  • @marciahorton2203
    @marciahorton2203 5 років тому +1

    I can hardly wait till I have a studio set up in my house so that I can begin taking lessons from you. When I see your paintings next to other "realistic artist's work there is no comparison. Your work stands way out, no disrespect to any of the other artist's work. Absolutely hands down fabulous! Watching as you work from the block in stage through to completion, it just boggles my mind. Your technique doesn't seem like it would be hard to do but the patience required to see it through....

    I've just found this youtube channel, I've never picked up a brush and painted a landscape pic in my life. But now at the age of 51 I'm very tempted to give it a go.

    Michael, up were you first started !! I got out my microscope and inspected the entire painting and I had to really look hard but that one small brown leaf didn't have the hair fiber skelatal membrane in it that makes up the leaf.. I had to go to 10,000 magnification to catch it though..
    😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
    Dear God man.!!! I've never in my life , seen such photo quality oil painting.. You are incredibly accurate on all colors, perspective depth, angles are all flawless.. beautiful work.
    Truly a gifted artist..
    Thanks for your knowledge and sharing of your techniques..
    Really awesome my friend..

    A lot of times when you watch videos about painting people say that you shouldn't use black because it kills the painting, I think you are an excellent example of that not being true.
