  • Put on your headphones for an immersive audio experience with an #ASMR vibe. I paint a winter scene outside my window as my family prepares and eats breakfast nearby.

    James, such impeccable timing! I'm a student who lives on her own away from her parents, but normally i come home in the weekend to spend time with them. However my mother got COVID and i couldn't come home. It felt really lonely spending so much time alone cooped up in my student room when I'm normally used to the conversations and background noise from my siblings and parents. Putting this video on, even though we speak different languages, made me feel like I was a little bit at home again. So thank you!

    I feel like I’m in your kitchen, smelling coffee, watching the wildlife out the window. Another wonderful painting, James. The way you filmed this, however, was the best part. No step-by-step narration did NOT disappoint me this time. Instead I need to get out of bed and start breakfast. My stomach is calling for food!

    Two big things I appreciated: 1) that side-by-side edit of the observed scene and the captured depiction next to it, showing decisions. And 2) including the setting in which this was done- a great reminder there's no one "perfect" place to get work done.
    Wonderful stuff!

    Mr.Gurney I’ve read your art blog for years, ever since I was a teenager. I loved the blog, but I confess I never managed to watch a video all the way through (bad attention span for videos on my part, not you). This Video was the exception. I loved all the gentle background noise and ambient sounds, it was just enough distraction to hold my squirrel brain that I could concentrate on the painting, just like painting in real life. (I used to love working in cafes before the pandemic). It was a pleasure to watch you paint in real time. I watched it all the way through. Thank you for all your hard work and innovations.
