I don’t paint, I have zero intention of taking up painting but I absolutely love watching these videos in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep. Sometimes you just have to sit back and admire talent.

I like how your brush strokes look uncertain in the beginning. But, when the work is done, it's masterly to behold. I really admire your work.

I am now positive that you are the Bob Ross of watercolor. You hit all the criteria- 1. You’ve got a satisfying voice 2. You videos aren’t abrasive 3. Talent, you’ve got lots of that. 4. Nice antidotes that keep you entertained. 5. Probably the most important, your authentic. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful art.

It’s so therapeutic to watch this guy paint.

Just my kind of thing. Full of atmosphere and detail but when you examine the detail it's not there it's in your head. Brilliant

Beautiful work, I also love the dry brush technique on the wall (:

Your paintings made me more relaxed and calm to watch you paint.

I went over it frame by frame, and it IS amazing! ( , for back frame and . for forward frame).

very nice rendering, just enough detail and nice fade- a- way on the right. great subject, reminds me of my youth in the 1950's in waterbury , same buildings. old cigar store, woolworths, etc.

oh wow, that went from being super loose to a beautiful finished piece by the end so quickly!! The lines with the fountain pen really made a huge difference, especially next to the dark shadows on the brightly-lit building, it looks so three-dimensional while keeping that impressionist look to it. I enjoy watching what you choose to emphasize or leave out in a painting. I'm so excited to have found this channel, I could watch these all day

The idea captured in the first 60seconds is vital. Frame the idea and execute it. Always inspiring to watch you paint.

water colors give a very nice texture and shape , so nice and heart touching

I love the way you paint. I am learning from you. I don't paint in what you are doing but I can still learn.

Loved the fire truck plot twist.

You are really turning the mundane into something magical through your painting.

James ! Your art is Wonderfull and full of life. Thank you so much, merci beaucoup from France. Vivien

I love this guy. I dont even paint but his paintings are so serene.

James..your style is amaziing..I really enjoy watching you paint...its soothing to my soul...and satisfying to my eyes...thank you for posting

All of your videos are great, but this one was particularly interesting to me because you showed some of how you constructed the building. Your paintings always look far better than the real thing!

From Parkview in Johannesburg to Parkview in Indiana.... thanks for another great demo!

unbelievable !!! amazing watercolor technique!!!

Just beautiful.

You are the only artist on youtube that knows how to paint correctly and academically in watercolour. You're amazing !

Your schetch book are like a photo album. I bet they bring back some fun memories. I love how they are a snap shot in time. Thanks for sharing and narrating not just playing music.

I do admire your work. Thank you for sharing with the world the amazing world of watercolors.

I have been in love with Pentalic Sketchbooks for so long.

That's really fantastic. Thank you very much for allowing watching you paint. A real artist makes the difficult job looking so easy.

Always fabulous videos and paintings! Thank you!

Wow! The detailing is excellent!

Stumbled upon your videos today and I'm so glad I did! Absolutely love your techniques and teaching!

Thanks James! Great to watch!!

My favorite part of the paintings is the shadows and reflected light. Thank you for posting!

you are amazing. love your work. thanks for sharing with us.

James I have watched you paint for almost 7 years now and you are an inspiration. I was an advertising storyboard artist using mostly coloured markers but your loose style and treatment of shadows and hues and tones is a real help. Detailing later is a key lesson for me and a lot of fun.

beautiful. I love it

You always seem to see more in a subject than most people would, that’s the true artists eye. You’re a great watercolorist!

Thank you for sharing your paintings. I really love the way you paint, and the content you choose to speak about while painting. No fluff and its easy to learn.

Fantastic!

Your work is relly amazing, I love your drawings and paintings

Thank you for this video! I learned so much, and I'm beyond excited to watch these videos from one of my childhood favorite artists!

So well documented and informative! Thank you for sharing.

Your videos are so inspiring for those of us that enjoy painting! The dry brush and the inclusion of the brown ink are great techniques!

Awesome result.

it's so beautiful painting.

Amazing work Mr. GURNEY

I love the drawing light and contrast- thank you for sharing, you do such beautiful work! I was so excited to find this video this morning, just when I thought I had watched them all!

PERFECT! Using the mixed media techniques for this type of field sketching is refreshing. The key to this all is your drawing. Proportions,scale and what to leave in and what to take out.

Wow crazy good!

Really enjoy it. God bless you sir.

Beautiful work!

Amazing talent

How lovely!!! Thanks for sharing - Great talent!

thank you for demystifying some Gurney magic!

Thanks, James, for such great information and sharing what you know unselfishly. Very inspiring!

wow this looks awesome

Loved this James! You are an amazing fountain of inspiration!

Beautiful work my man your books changed my life I appreciate your works alot especially for a young artist trying to make a name for himself.

you make this look so easy!!!! enjoying your work and learning as I go

That was brilliant.

Man, that is staggeringly beautiful work.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

So nice!

What an opportunity it would be to flip through your sketchbooks to admire and study your artwork. It would kind of be like walking through a museum.

Amazing work, really beautiful

Great picture. Thanks for sharing all the detail of how you approach this, especially how to do the initial sketch and work out the perspective lines. Very useful indeed - I feel inspired!

I love this art work. I have been trying to get into watercolors now. I am not a a fan of realism on watercolor because I feel it takes away the beauty of it. I like line and wash style, but I feel it can look like a cartoon. But this! This way you paint is awesome. I think I will apply it myself. Congratulations, you are extremely talented! Thank you for sharing.

I love your artwork. Thak you!

Beautiful
