    I would still be turning out Bob Ross style paintings if I hadn’t subbed to MJSTV, have learned so much,not just the techniques,but colour mixing and using different mediums etc,Top job Michael 👍

      Same here! Bob will always hold a special place in my heart and he taught me so much and got me to actually take the plunge and pick up a paint brush. And it's still fun to whip out a pretty nice landscape or seascape in 45 minutes but now I'm off to bigger and better things with MJS!

    Hi Michael...I'm Fabian from Medellin, Colombia. I always enjoy your videos, I learn a lot from them. I love painting with your technique. I already have a set of your brushes and they are fantastic. Thanks for sharing your lessons. See you soon!

      @MichaelJamesSmith I think a large part of the problem is the brushes I use. I dont have the ones that you use. I'm trying to paint a lot so I can sell them to pay off my wife's cancer bills. You are the source of inspiration to me.

    Uh, uh, your block-in 🌳 is it? looks like a 🐓. Hello Wiley! The tree & texture did a magnificent job of the midground, not only the speckles but of smudges all at once, a method I'll use from now on. Thanks for sharing that. Also, yes, I'll use the flat brush vs fan for midgrass hi-lites, another bonzer idea. Good switch that. Ah, thanks for showing us how you turned Mr🐓 into a treasure🦚. Marvelous way to work a 🌳, darkest to lightest, me own style also, never change it will I. Say, Nordic costume for 🎃-day? Outstanding, polar bear hair, chiseled muscular face, glittery blue eyes with sharp black centers. Don't be ringing me doorbell, just roar and ifn by daylight I see claw marks cascading down the wood, expect me to use me palette knife to remove the iceburg underneath ya! Outta ❤️ of course, 🤠.

    Oils on top of acrylic, didn’t know that was acceptable. Does the rule of applying oils on oils to oils on acrylic? As far as drying time? Is it thin on thicker or the other way around?

    Hi Michael, I see you paint from a printed photo rather than from a digital image displayed on a tablet or screen. I do find it harder to judge colours and values on a display screen - is that why you print out your photos? If so, what printer (and paper) do you use? I tried printing once and the colour/values were not good. Thanks.
