THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Great. Thank you. Greetings from Germany David
Patience , Patience , that is what I find amazing is the patience you have. Most try and rush, I myself do so far to often, you always remind me to be patient . Magnificent work
😊
Mesmerizing to see how all that detail comes together. Beautiful work
Thank you so much 😀
beautiful job Michael
Thank you 😊
@ yes love your classes!
Greetings from Texas, I watched a few of your videos a couple of years ago when I was 22. Four years later, here I am again and now I am hooked on your videos.
Всегда восхищали ваши работы! Очень тонко и детали!❤ Удачи и творчес.успехов!!!
Thanks!
Wonderful as ever, I love seeing the painting develop, and the crisp highlights towards the end always make your work shine!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for sharing the master class painting 🎉
Any time!
I am completely gobsmacked! Your attention to details is clearly seen in the end results. As a Norwegian I am particularly impressed seing how good you are to paint snow. A very famous norwegian painter said once that if you can paint snow you can paint anything. You really master the art of painting snow.
Thank you! 😊
So true! This is the 1st time I've ever looked at a winter scene and actually FELT the cold, crisp air in my senses!
Sir, your painting looks more realistic than the original photo. How many hours do you spend in one day while painting?
Oh, my word, that winter painting at the beginning is absolutely beautiful! With living in an area where we experience long snowy winters (New Hampshire, USA), wintry scenes are very popular here.
Я живу в Сибири и у нас такой же пейзаж!!! Картина великолепна! Привет из Сибири!
Прекрасная картина! Отличная детализация и цвета.спасибо за урок.
Дякую за красиву роботу і цікавий коментар! ❤❤❤
You’re welcome
Love ❤from Pakistan...watching you paint is joy.
Excellent presentation.
Glad you liked it!
Always inspired, thank You Mic
My pleasure!
Your technique is amazing. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You are so welcome!
I watched your lessons here in Aus for a number of years wiith great interest and respect.
From someone who has always enjoyed art and is getting up in years, I find your lessons a great motivater. Sincerely thankyou!!
Rock on!
Thanks you VERY BEAUTIFUL PICTURE
Thanks 👍
I bought some of Michael's brushes. The brushes are excellent. I'm just learning how to paint and have a collection of very cheap brushes. Michael's brushes instantly allowed me to see the difference between low quality brushes vs hi-quality brushes. His brushes have improved my paintings (MHO) by allowing greater control when needed. I will buy again. As for the video, Michael's instructions are just right in terms techniques, colors, mediums, and brushes. I only wish I had his skill :)
I’m so pleased you like them! Thanks for your support 😊
Exquisite artwork! A lovely painting!
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent ❤ greetings from Poland ❤
Hello Sir, I always watching your video painting landscape. I've learned a lot. Thank you for sharing.
Your artwork is unbelievable.
Thanks 🙏
The best!
😁
So beautiful 👏👏👏😁
Thank you! Cheers!
Very talented ❤
Thanks
c'est encore bien plus joli que le modèle ! bravo !
Thanks 🙏
It's been a very difficult year and I've hardly painted at all. I need it - I have to get back to it. Thank you for the gentle motivation!
You are so welcome
素晴らしい！
Thanks
Every single tutorial is an absolute master work on effectively using this fantastic method. I sincerely wish I had learned this technique 30 years ago.
Wow, thank you!
Thanks you for the traduction in french❤
You're welcome 😊
Beautiful 👍🏴😉
Thanks😊
Love your art , Thankyou, greetings from Greece!
Thank you very much!

Wonderful Maestro, thank you very much for your art and I enjoy how you do the mix of colors. Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia!
Thank you! Cheers!
Todo es tan hermoso e increíble como pintas puedo pasar horas disfrutando estas lecciones ❤ gracias por tan valiosa enseñanza!
สวยงามมาก. การสอนของคุณเปนประโยชน์กับผมมาก. จะพยายามทำให้ได้ซัก 90% ขอบคุณมาก. Thailand
😊
Привет из России!
Ive had the tendancy of rushing through grasses and using colors that arent quite right, probably because the grasses are not the main subject. But watching you has shown me that it is essential to pay attention to all aspects if you want that realism effect.
Thank you, sir, for sharing.
No problem, my pleasure 👍

Thanks 🙏
Love your paintings Michael great teacher, i follow your techneques and improving all the time. I love land scapes but I have been challenged with a city scape. have you ever had this mass of buildings, straght lines and thousands of windows or something you avoid?
I’ve painted cityscapes in the past. I enjoy them but it is very time consuming.
Your painting of individual blades is absolutely wonderful! My paintings have improved so much thanks to you. I still strive to reach your creative level. Thank you so much. On a different note , that winter scene you did is utterly fantastic! I look forward to seeing that on MJStv soon.
Muchísimas Gracias ! Es un placer como siempre ver tu trabajo , FANTÁSTICO
UN CORDIAL SALUDO
Thanks so much
Hello Michael, greetings from Southeast Michigan, I saw that you commented on one person question to you about selling their paintings that they created from your lessons and you said that you don't advise them from doing that, why? This painting is stunning, I really enjoyed the lesson. Thank you so much for doing these.
Hi, 👋 I don’t actively discourage students selling their paintings lessons but there’s often confusion regarding copyright. Also, there are potentially thousands of the same painting or at least the same scene that already exists. I wouldn’t want to buy what I thought was an original painting if there are loads of them in circulation. The point of the school is to teach students how to paint and take what they learn to use in to their own work. 😊
Thank you. I have watched it several times and it helps so much. One problem is getting the brush to make the lines and not get really thick marks. I think it’s a matter of thinness and how you move the brush. Light touch. Really good stuff.
Травушка-муравушка зелёненькая..😊🌱🌿☘🍀

Thanks M 👍
Realmente eres increible pintando eres una inspiration a impulsarme a seguir cada paso de tus lindas pinturas
Thank you so much i have learned a lot
My pleasure 😊
Grande arte. Maravilhosa. Deus suas mãos. Obrigada por compartilhar
My pleasure. I’m pleased you enjoyed it!
hi michael another amazing painting. can you please show us how to paint wooden surfaces like doors, tables etc. these are missing from your channel so far. ty for everything you do.
I’ll definitely consider that suggestion!
Your work is always outstanding, you capture so much detail!
The music in the background did my head in a bit though tbh, other than that 👌
Thank you for this video🔥🙏🏻
During the fast-forward your strokes sounded liken a dragonfly's stiff wings fluttering against the porch light it was attracted to. I meant no rudeness as I revere the fairy horses (& always quickly flip the light switch so their wings do not get burnt nor look like your fan brush there). Did you use the ole grinder on the fan, liken ages before? You're so gentle, wish I had you for a dentist where I'd never feel what you were doing under the bonnet. So who in the family plays electric piano? I can hear the keys "rub", could it be you, most artists are multi-talented. Keeping to subject, noone can compare with the Master Genius of Grass, I am stunned after each viewing of you working it. Incredible it is. Wish I had half your skill, leave your hand & brain part for me in your Will, please. They won't be wasted, no no. ❤🤠
Jaclyn, my hand and brain are yours. I’ll adjust my Will accordingly 😁

Thank you SirSmith. Forever grateful.
Thank you Mister, I like tutorial painting realis.
Very good
Thanks
Niiiiiiccccccccee😭😭😭😭❤
Thanks
More ❤❤❤
Bonjour Machael, je te suis depuis longtemps, et maintenant qu’au bas de l’écran il y a la traduction française, ça me plaît beaucoup. Je suis de la ville de Québec Canada, et ma langue parlée est le français. Félicitation pour ta belle communication et tes belles toiles.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent ❤ love for jaan colors art
Big fan sir ❤❤❤❤❤❤
영상미도 좋고 너무 멋지네요. 분위기가 최고입니다👍☺
I've watched all of your videos on YT and I'm always looking forward for the next one. You have a very good taste in using colors and choosing the subject.
Could you please tell me what kind of paper you use in this picture?
Thank you and greetings from Italy.
I used a fine universal primed linen canvas.
Hi Maestro😊 could you tell us what are your favorite brushes and why? Greetings from Poland ❤
The rigger brush because it has so many uses.
When this winter picture will be on MJS TV ? Its not there yet.
It will be released at the end of this month
Hi, are you allowing the different layers of grass shades to dry a little before going over with the lighter ones. I sometimes find I'm smudging the grasses if I go wet in wet with the fan brush. And it can start to look messy.
No drying time.
Su pintura es mucho mejor , que el de la foto
Cool, thanks!
Hi Michael, thanks for sharing, your videos are a delight. Can you please tell me what grade of canvas you are using. Is it a fine grain?
My pleasure and yes it’s a super fine grain
Hi Michael, really enjoy your videos! Wonder if you’ve ever experienced eye strain or headaches from painting, and if so, do you have any tips for getting around this? Thanks!
Hi, I’ve never suffered from headaches but I used to strain my eyes. Glasses fixed that! The biggest problem for me is a weakness in my back caused by reaching around a camera. As a result, walking gives me a fair amount of discomfort. I do exercises to minimise it.
@ Thanks for replying! I have issues with my neck and shoulders from sitting at a computer all day so I do exercises to minimize that as well. Unfortunately, glasses don’t help my near vision, so the neck and eye strain combine to lead to migraine type headaches every time I paint. I actually tried wearing sunglasses last week while I painted and although not ideal, it did cut down on the eye strain some.
Hola Michael me gustaría suscribirme pero No puedo al no poder ver los vídeos con un audio adicional en habla ispana. El día que esté audio en castellano ganarás muchos más seguidores.saludos.
We translating our database of lessons all the time there’s a good selection already in Spanish. Check out my shop website for more information www.shopmichaeljamessmith.com
Ótimo resultado, Michael. Embora eu pinte um estilo diferente (do hiperrealismo) aqui no Brasil, sou um espectador contumaz dos teus vídeos.
I love your work. Were I to study in your school, am I allowed to sell paintings done in process? I live in tiny home and have no room to keep any.
Some students do sell their paintings but I don’t really encourage it.
You can find my school here: www.michaeljamessmith.tv
@@MichaelJamesSmithThat's a very fair tuition. 😊
Michael, you are my idol and inspiration. I've never seen a painter as good as you. I only paint with acrylics at this point but I use a lot of your techniques. May I ask what colors you use for the lighter, buff colored grasses? I sometimes get them too white or too yellow. You seem to nail it. Also, I am interested in your lessons but I hesitate with any long term commitments involving money. What is your cancelation policy?
What kind of light do you use ?

😁
Tell me the characteristic of your electric lamp
Huh? 🤔
I loved this, thank you, but I have to ask - is there any news on distribution into Canada that doesn't involve crazy shipping costs? I want the smaller size tree and texture brush for a start, but I really want to try your paints when they come out.
Michael, sou do Brasil e estou interessada em suas aulas e produtos. Estou pedindo ajuda da minha filha, que é professora de inglês, pra me ajudar a acessar seus produtos e conteúdos. Logo estarei acompanhando suas aulas e dicas. Muito obrigada pela oportunidade em aprender.
I’d love to be able to welcome you as a member!
How many blades of grass have you painted in your life, or did you lost count.😊
My guess…..over 100 but less than 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
@MichaelJamesSmith educated guess...thank you for the inspiration, and the absolute best advice: keep on working ...great for building stamina, which is essential for realistic painting.....
Can u do a video about trees and grasa that are distent?
Is this the November lesson??
The snow one? Yes it will be released at the end of November
Do we need to wet brush while painting grass
وقت بخیر استاد بیتکرار جناب اسمیت یک سوال خدمتتان داشتم می خواستم بدونم ریتادر را وقتی رنگ اکرلیلک روی پالت است اضافه کنم یا وقتی رنگ اکریلیک روی کاغذ است؟؟؟؟؟؟
Здравствуйте краска какая
Oil paint
@@MichaelJamesSmith спасибо
😀😃😄👍👍👍👌
👋
I don’t see it on MJS TV ….
I see the pumpkin pie
It will be released at the end of this month
Why didn't you show us a view of the final painting at the end?
😍👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you for all I learned many things from drawings and soon draw some of your drawings and learn more. But I have a simple request can you put my drawings in Instagram story from your drawings every time I send my drawings but I don't see my drawings in Instagram or in Facebook story and thank you ❤
I’ll try and keep my eyes open for them.
@MichaelJamesSmith Thanks 😊 🙏
I'm a member of your online classes Is there a place for more/ longer videos of this scene?
ua-cam.com/video/klBlPCdyoio/v-deo.html
I don't recall seeing it online
There will be in a couple of weeks
@MichaelJamesSmith really? Of the older video I linked not the we're commenting on? Just want to clarify.
👋
could you substitute a rosemary tree and texture brush for the tatty fan by using downward strokes? maybe you could add a pre tattied fan to your brush sales!
That’s a good idea! I also have/sell my own tree & texture brush. I don’t use Rosemary brushes anymore.
