I really enjoyed this casual video style. It was very calming to listen to you and Jeanette talk while watching you paint. My daughter watched with me and was very impressed that you could paint in a diner! The texture on that straw wrapper was fantastic.
Being from the UK I would love to just sit in a US diner like that, the accents and conversations in the background were fascinating. Of course the painting is outstanding as usual.
James, I know some commenters are saying the background sounds are too loud - maybe it’s just me, but I like it! It’s kind like we’re at the diner with you this way. Amazing work as usual, huge fan!
Same, I really love to listen to the background noise of the diner while watching him paint, it feels like we're there too, it gives a great atmosphere !
Hi James and Jeanette, i love how that painted glass looks frosty, cold! It was interesting to find out that Jeanette’s mother was an artist. The more I see and hear from Jeanette the more of a big Jeanette fan I become. She is talented and friendly and seems very kind. You two have a lovely relationship and I’m glad that you share it with us. Take care. Hugs, Julie 🥰
I haven't even finished the video yet and I'm so impressed with your ice cubes and that you can not only do this on the fly at a restaurant, but also in such little time
In the south they served a cool drink from a large pitcher and they tried to keep most of the ice in the pitcher to keep it cool. Ice was scarce since you made it in the metal tray. Great job on the blue water glass. I enjoyed the layers and your visit.
I love how you keep showing the subject every now and then so we can see what you are looking at, especially colour wise. Great video and painting as always!
great as always. something about these from life paintings its almost like looking at the real world through "rose tinted glasses" even though its very casual and mundane things the chunky brush strokes and nice shapes just enhance it to another level.
This was so thoroughly fascinating and enjoyable, I had to immediately go back and watch it two more times! You are one of my very favorite and certainly one of the very best and most talented artists and teachers on this venue. I feel so fortunate to have found you and am so grateful for your generosity in sharing your immense talent with us. Thank you!
I just love the way you close your videos. Genius! While you were painting your ice cubes I couldn’t see at first where it was going and then all of a sudden they were ice cubes. I find it so interesting how different artists see and approach their work differently. Very nice.
It's amazing how James' 'messy stages' suddenly crystallise into a solid image, like the sun coming out from behind a cloud. My own messy stages still discourage me quite a bit, like watching a house of cards start to collapse, but these videos help me to persevere.
Incredible job capturing the ice water, and good call on the straw. I love this longer video with more real-time brush strokes - more like this, please! :)
I too loved listening to you guys talk in the background. It was so fun! It felt like I was sitting there in the booth with you. What a great sketch! Thank you! ( and yes, you have to have ketchup with diner hash browns!!!)
Your videos are always such a joy to watch. Your conversation with Jeanette reminded me of how I’ve always drank ice water, even as a little girl. I’m not big on pop or juice but I can’t live without water at least once a day, but it’s primarily all I drink. Even when I travel I make sure I have access to water in advance. Seems silly but I couldn’t go very long without it. Your painting of the water glass was so fun to watch, especially because I paint in watercolours too. Amazing work, as always! 😊
Thank you for your inspiring videos and techniques. Every time you draw or paint something you see, you learn, a simple example is a friend of mine drew the bend in a straw and I saw it later connecting joints on one of his robots. Though it is much more than that, you learn many things subconsciously that you can't even specify directly. I especially liked how you showed the color shapes with the woodpile, I thought the same thing when I had to illustrate a crowd of people for not much money, I squinted and drew the color shapes and from a distance it was perfect. You are amazing!
OMG ~ This is what I’d hoped “My Dinner With Andre” would be like: true and outre! Truly amazing, cool, actual live art and deep conversation of ice cubes! C’est magnifique! Thank you~ you have made the day worth living💁🏼♀️🌟
James I’m bout to eat ya breakfast while you finish that beautiful piece! 😂 You got MY usual! Makin me wanna go to a diner! I love how you use layering and light to really make your paintings pop. Wonderful job! And congrats again on half a million followers!
I always love watching you paint, but most of all I love listening to the banter between you and Jeanette 😁 - how you slip back and forth with such ease, between talking about the painting and then onto making ice cubes and orange straws 😆
Sir, God bless you. I've seen your videos,where you paint pretty much anywhere. But in a restaurant using there dine in table as your own painting space???!!! 🤣👏👏👏 Bravo!!!!
it's usually hot where I live and I often drink cold water or water with ice just to get refreshed, anyways, that painting looks good! each brushstroke makes sense!
I’m in the UK right now and not only do you not get ice water, you have to specify you want tap water or they give you a bottle and charge you! There are no ice buckets in hotel rooms and no ice machines anywhere- quite the culture shock!! I love ice water
Her name was Beatrice Fusillo, and she worked as a children's fashion illustrator for a department store in Manhattan called Ludwig Baumann's. We don't have any examples of her illustration work (it was disposable newsprint ads), but maybe in future I'll share some of the watercolors she did later.
@@JamesGurney are any of her ads in the newspapers the library of Congress holds online? We have Trove in Australia (National library of Australia) and that even has the ads digitised in the papers that can be searched and even some of the old advertising pamphlets…
Amazing how much darkness is in a bright blue cup! And silver cutlery. Ice contracts therefore constrains blood flow, and it requires more blood flow to digest cold raw food. It slows metabolism. They say chewing ice is a sign of iron deficiency. Or a hot mouth 😜
Looked so great that I thought you smashed the straw paper on the painting. And it so true of artists, that is getting used to eating cold food. But coffee has to be hot. Great rendition and I almost expected a giant straw. :)
Learning how to seel The ice cubes are blue, not white like my brain thinks they should be. The silverware is a dark gray, not silver like my brain thinks it should be. End result? Perfection.
Wow that straw wrapper looked amazing! Perfect use of the white guache. I don't suppose something like that could be done with watercolor? I mean I'm sure James can do it, but what about us mere mortals?
I really enjoyed this casual video style. It was very calming to listen to you and Jeanette talk while watching you paint. My daughter watched with me and was very impressed that you could paint in a diner! The texture on that straw wrapper was fantastic.
Completely agree.
Being from the UK I would love to just sit in a US diner like that, the accents and conversations in the background were fascinating. Of course the painting is outstanding as usual.
I really like the way you represented the paper surrounding the straw. It is very telling and ingenious. Thank you so much for your videos
I love how you make the mundane into amazing pieces of art. It shows that anything can interesting and you don't have to go far for inspiration.
If you think about it, really nothing is mundane. Everything is a tiny miracle of fabulous engineering.
@@c.c.1366 damn what a beautiful insight. I'm gonna quote this one day
How clever is that, James just happened to have a straw in the complementary color for the watercolor sketch. Will wonders never cease!
James, I know some commenters are saying the background sounds are too loud - maybe it’s just me, but I like it! It’s kind like we’re at the diner with you this way. Amazing work as usual, huge fan!
Ikr, it feels like I'm there with them and it feels so friendly
Same, I really love to listen to the background noise of the diner while watching him paint, it feels like we're there too, it gives a great atmosphere !
I enjoyed it as it adds to the atmosphere. But also turned the cc on.
I wish real world diners would come with cc. Lip reading is hard.
I come back to rewatch this from time to time. I don’t know why but the ambiance is so lovely. It’s like you’re sitting next to me!
I watch Mr Gurney's videos over and over. What an inspiration!!!
Always good to ketchup with you.
Eggsactly.
What a mindblowingly clever man you are...just WOW

Well done!

This feels like one of the most intimate videos you've ever posted. So simple, just like the composition. Thank you.

I love that blue! Stunning work. Chilling even :-)
Cool! It was so cool to watch you paint and not worry about the ice melting or your food cooling. The painting was very detailed and relaxed!
Awesome vid!!!! You’re amazing. Loving my “Color and Light” book. I hope you sell out!
So relaxing, you are not like typical Americans, there is love and kindness in your family. I always love to see you draw, paint.
I just love the way you close your videos. Genius! While you were painting your ice cubes I couldn’t see at first where it was going and then all of a sudden they were ice cubes. I find it so interesting how different artists see and approach their work differently. Very nice.

James, your artistry is something to behold, but Jeanette… she is priceless!
I'm always fascinated with your painting
You see art everywhere
It’s all relatable but we may never take the time to see it in real life 🇨🇦 ❤️
Incredible job capturing the ice water, and good call on the straw. I love this longer video with more real-time brush strokes - more like this, please! :)
love the dark cutlery!
For me is valuable inside to see how carefully the light is rendered by James in this difficult object.
Jim, this has become one of my favorite channels to watch! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talents!
I love the texture on the straw wrapper.
James you are such an inspiration. I don't even paint myself but these are always entertaining
I too loved listening to you guys talk in the background. It was so fun! It felt like I was sitting there in the booth with you. What a great sketch! Thank you! ( and yes, you have to have ketchup with diner hash browns!!!)
Hey that painting and diner look so familiar! Love it and learning more about Jeanette too
This is the type of painting I like to do. Something so simple, but interesting.
It's amazing how you can paint and carry on a conversation. At the same time!!!!!
This is one of my favorite demos. I enjoy the atmosphere and conversation. Thank you.
hahahaha. did someone say "Oh mother falafel" at 5.45. great video as usual.
Amazing work! And that frosting on the glass! And straw paper! Just another proof you can make art out of anything!!!
Your videos are always such a joy to watch. Your conversation with Jeanette reminded me of how I’ve always drank ice water, even as a little girl.

"Even when I travel I make sure I have access to water in advance"
Hey, I feel the same way about ketchup. 😉
@@vermis8344 Another important staple! 💁🏼♀️
you’re right, that little bit of orange adds a lot.
yep, that's a pretty blue color of the cup. I do like me some Cobalt colored glass.
Incredible once again. When I tell people about you, I say go to literally any video because they are all bangers.
It literally looks cool and super freezing.
Now I know what I want for lunch. Nice work James.

Makes me want to go to a diner.
Thank you for your hardwork James, you are an inspiration!
I LOVE this video. Y'all are awesome folks ! Thanks for all you do for all 17,000 of us. It is refreshing. Hey, i diconnected my ice cube maker too.
OMG ~ This is what I’d hoped “My Dinner With Andre” would be like: true and outre! Truly amazing, cool, actual live art and deep conversation of ice cubes! C’est magnifique! Thank you~ you have made the day worth living💁🏼♀️🌟
Thank you so much 😀I've got to watch that movie. It's about the casual conversational style, right?
@@JamesGurney Don’t bother ~ but, yes, you did the style perfectly. Looking forward to more from YOU!💖
Nice still life! I loved how the blue stands out in this setting.
James I’m bout to eat ya breakfast while you finish that beautiful piece! 😂
You got MY usual! Makin me wanna go to a diner!
I love how you use layering and light to really make your paintings pop.
Wonderful job! And congrats again on half a million followers!
Love this video! The conversation and the painting are inspiring.
#JamesGurney I'm enjoying your painting show and look forward to seeing your new adventure in year 2223.
Truly amazing!
It really is the orange of the straw, what gives the already great painting something special and interesting.
I'm playing Gurney catch up... love it oh and I forgot we had metal ice trays with a lever when I was a kid.
Im enamored with the casual friendly conversation being held and the painting
You are a big artist!
Dry fun!
Very!
I was inspired by your works. Been a fan since the pandemic, much love.
I always love watching you paint, but most of all I love listening to the banter between you and Jeanette 😁 - how you slip back and forth with such ease, between talking about the painting and then onto making ice cubes and orange straws 😆
You are awesome as usual!!!! Thanks to share all that with us!!
Sir,
God bless you. I've seen your videos,where you paint pretty much anywhere. But in a restaurant using there dine in table as your own painting space???!!! 🤣👏👏👏 Bravo!!!!
we watch your videos in our art lessons! thank you for teaching us so much
Loved that! Enjoyed watching you paint and loved the diner sounds and table chat. Appreciate your videos!
I like very much your paints and the way you paint common things so easily...
Such a pleasure to watch, love you Dear James)))
You make it all look so easy
That is so cool!
This is so incredible, you're amazing! Keep up the amazing work.
You are really an expert! I love the casual video May be you should do this kind of videos more often!
Awesome Tips as always.
I know that diner, great video of your process, as always, thank you
the glass look so refreshing
That water glass is fsntastic..especially the ice! We have a diner just like that one in Hatboro Pennsylvania called Daddy Pops. Great food
Gorgeous ❗️
it's usually hot where I live and I often drink cold water or water with ice just to get refreshed, anyways, that painting looks good! each brushstroke makes sense!
Beautiful! I would love to know how you built up the impasto texture of the straw wrapper.
I’m in the UK right now and not only do you not get ice water, you have to specify you want tap water or they give you a bottle and charge you! There are no ice buckets in hotel rooms and no ice machines anywhere- quite the culture shock!! I love ice water
Great as always
that diner is right down the street from me…that is beautiful!
You are such a master. I have no idea how do you visualize it. I have lots to learn for sure...
So now I'm curious for Jeanette's mum. What was her name and where can we find some of her work?
Her name was Beatrice Fusillo, and she worked as a children's fashion illustrator for a department store in Manhattan called Ludwig Baumann's. We don't have any examples of her illustration work (it was disposable newsprint ads), but maybe in future I'll share some of the watercolors she did later.
@@JamesGurney Please do share, maybe Jeanette can tell some stories about her. She sounds like she was a fascinating lady!
@@JamesGurney Thanks, that would be interesting :)
@@JamesGurney are any of her ads in the newspapers the library of Congress holds online? We have Trove in Australia (National library of Australia) and that even has the ads digitised in the papers that can be searched and even some of the old advertising pamphlets…
Very enjoyable video, easy going and informative. I implemented some blue and orange in my last drawing after this.
Not going to lie that food looks good. As well as the painting.
Brilliant.
Beautiful painting
"I don't believe in ketchup" 😅. Really lovely chat and very nice painting!!
Always fun to watch and always amazing 😎
Brilliant
Your Outro is great!
Amazing how much darkness is in a bright blue cup! And silver cutlery.
Ice contracts therefore constrains blood flow, and it requires more blood flow to digest cold raw food. It slows metabolism. They say chewing ice is a sign of iron deficiency. Or a hot mouth 😜

Love this!

Wow that straw wrapper looked amazing! Perfect use of the white guache. I don't suppose something like that could be done with watercolor? I mean I'm sure James can do it, but what about us mere mortals?
One important place for your art I think.
