I have painted for most of my life, usually more detail in my landscapes. Now at 73 I have macular Degeneration, this method will help me to continue doing what I love and free up my brushwork, less is more and your never too old to learn or change techniques, thank you Stuart.

Another beautiful painting with fabulous commentary. My one complaint... stop apologizing for your camera, microphone, or having your arm in the way. Treat the negative comments the same way you do the ones about a sky only being blue or talking “too much”. You are allowing us to see your technique, allowing us into your world. We are privileged guests! Yes, the negative nellies can sod off.

I can't see why they bother, and don't just move on. Becoming unbearable on some fronts to read comments and have a sensible conversation. When I hear such talented people apologizing for the camera, the mic, or not being Hollywood, it just saddens me. I still cringe every time I see a new comment pop in my email for an old video. My apologies to everyone for ranting on here tonight, but the complaints regarding free, expert content frosts me.

Stuart, just want to share my gratitude to you. I have been watching you all day :) bless you for the happiness you bring me in a very dark time in my life. Painting has been my only escape.

You have an absolutely wonderful male voice , and a beautiful personality. Your technique and paintings are gorgeous ! Stay as you are !

Free lessons, easy to watch, easy to listen to, simple, intelligent explanations of techniques taken from years of professional and personal experience - what's not to love and appreciate? Cheers Stuart, this came at the right time I'm struggling with sky and clouds at the moment.

People shouldn’t be complaining about your right shoulder being in the way. We should all be grateful to have you teach us in this free video. God bless us all for the good , the bad & the criticles.🌻

I often paint while watching your vids , Stuart. Sometimes I paint what you’re showing us, but more and more I find myself just listening to your tutorials no matter what I’m painting. Your voice soothes me and your instructions inspire me, keep me on track. Right now, using acrylics, I’m painting a woman in the sky shaped to the bust rising among clouds one of which is shaped like a huge cracked egg; she’s holding two doves and myriads of birds are flying around her. Thanks to you, it’s going beautifully. I love your works and your videos. Thanks so much ch for making all available to us. 🙏🏼⛈🌞

..i like how you push paint around..been pushing paint around myself for going on 61-62 years...parents said i was born with a brush in my hand..lol..close..it was one of my dads pencils....so, they gave me a watercolour set along with my first box of crayons..and a colouring book, for my 2nd birthday..then promptly forgot about me...so..i left the book on the table & took my supplies & a fistfull of paper towels out to the porch..where i proceeded to create a masterpeice on the glass of the door (i had that idea when i used to draw in the frost & mum would use paper towels to wipe it away)....a few hours later they found me...mum said, well..at least it wasn't the walls..dad however...was..thrilled..he took pictures...and would not let anyone touch it for months...it dissolved literally overnight when the weather turned colder.....life is strange, enit

I’m glad KZread suggested that viral illusion of detail video; that was how I discovered your channel! I enjoy your commentary very much. Eons ago in a college art class we were given the assignment of doing a landscape of the view outside the classroom. I think we used crayons. I decided to make the sky a yellowish color. The teacher gave me an A.

I could listen to you all day as well as watch you paint. I am still shocked at people's behavior and their comments. We are lucky to have you share with us your amazing talent and your stories. So to any of you that have a comment that is negative, just STFU. Thank you Stuart. You're amazing.

Keep talking, Stuart. You are a wonderful commentator and incredibly talented artist. Thank you for your patient teachings. Here's a favorite quote from you: "Grass is a rebel."

I usually skip through videos when people are talking unless it’s something I’m REALLY interested in. I couldn’t bring myself to skip through this! I could watch and listen to you all day!! So humble, reassuring, and eloquent. I’m definitely a subscriber! Thanks so much for making my day!

Yes you are intriguing to watch!

~ I showered in goosebumps when the trees started to take the shapes ... Thank you , sir ...

Beautiful painting again ... and the talking is a huge part of your videos... while many people on YT have jarring voices, poor grammar, and/or rattle on inanely about nothing... you certainly do not!!! I usually watch your videos twice in quick succession and then a third time a few days later. My first watch is with the sound off just for the pure enjoyment of seeing a painting emerge like magic... it also makes me aware of what I don't know/understand... the ''why did he do that?'' phase if you like. Second is definitely sound on, and that's when those ''Ah! That's why he did that!'' moments happen. For me then, the 3rd time without sound is for pure relaxing enjoyment, but it's also where I find out if I have remembered and understood exactly why, what, how you achieved your beautiful painting. Haters are going to hate; critics are going to criticise; but ''quite frankly my dear, I don't give a damn'' about them... and nor should you!!! Massive thanks for sharing your knowledge and artistry. :)

I really love your comments, and we are painting, and oil since my husband died in 2010 but I’m about to start. I’m so impressed with your classes. Thank you.

Yes, I do try to paint with you....often have to back-up the video to listen to nuances in your description. Great experience and so instructive. Thank you!

Wow, thank you!

Whenever I am in the mood to paint, for a while now, I listen/watch to your videos. I usually prefer an artsy movie with a dark atmosphere when I paint, mostly for the inspiring "noise", with the occasional peek, but lately I enjoy hearing you talk about everything in your videos, from the much needed advice, to the little funny stories from art school. Painting is a hobby since I was young, so I'm always looking for new ways to learn more. Thank you for teaching and inspiring me! ❤

I was just thinking how soothing this gentleman voice is... I enjoyed watching the art emerge , being drawn in more with each stroke.. Beautifully done.. loving the dramatics of contrast uniting into a harmonized feast for eye appeal.

Keep doing what you are doing. I am sure there is a lot of us watching that don't know everything and your teaching through speech helps us understand why you are doing. To just watch someone paint you miss the reasoning and understanding behind the painting I might be wrong but I think that is what teaching really is. Also the knowledge you have learned over the years is priceless. God Bless.

These clouds are so amazing ..the light is amazing....never stop talking

Astonishing level of skill by a master. One just gazes in amazement.

thanks Stuart, you're doing fine as for filming, don't change anything.

In answer to your question, yes, I have painted "along" with you...I have to pause the video a lot, to keep up, more or less. And my results are certainly not your quality, but I'm learning! I am always amazed by your painting process, and your paintings.

I agree with the part about the clouds. I love photography as a hobby, and sunset clouds are my favorite things to photograph. To me, they’re like blank canvases for the sun’s light to reflect on.

You start up with awkward and squarish brush strokes and then transform this to most natural paintings and this is magic.

How people can be irritated by the sound of your voice due to the microphone. The voice is great and the sound too!!! People should focus on the beauties of your paintings and the way how you explain us this wonderful art. Grazie Maestro!

Beautifully executed Stuart! A creative Triumph! We're so fortunate to have an artist of your creative ability, willing to share and teach. Thank you!!!

I wish I had of discovered your channel years ago, I think I would have been a far better painter than I am now. I suppose it's never too late. Thank you Stuart for giving us so much.

What a wonderful video!!! I truly enjoy your narratives. Your calming voice reduces any qualms about trying your techniques. I have never had a problem with your microphone...no popping, etc. I will be painting along with this one! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your anecdotes with us!! Looking forward to more!❤️😊🎨💜👩‍🎨

Wonderful. I need to start painting like this also to teach myself to not being too tight when I paint. Using big brushes forces one to be less tight. About those who say that skies can only be blue with white or grey clouds: they never been out and never looked at skies especially at sunrise and sunset and they’ve never put their eyes on paintings by Turner, Dali, Constable, Monet and hundreds of other masters. A sky can be literally any hue on the colour wheel. Same about clouds

You make art accessible. You’ve got a great teaching style, wonderful voice, and incredible talent and technique. Clearly you are able to paint masterpieces. Thank you for sharing your style with the rest of us and risking criticism. But just like you replied to the person who said you talked to much, just “turn off the volume” to the nah sayers. You have nothing to apologize for.

Your conversation greatly adds to the instructions---- I really appreciate your telling us paint colors brushes etc. VERY HELPFUL LOVE YOUR NATURAL FLUID CAPTURE OF GODS WONDERFUL SKYS!!! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!

I feel like I just got to sit at the feet of a master! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

Absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing your talent with us we really appreciate it. By the way you dont talk too much your voice is so calm and it relaxes me.

I'm a portrait artist and I'm beginning to FEEL the urge to paint Landscape since I've watched your videos a few days ago. You've made it look so easy plus your soothing voice with no nonsense perspective coming purely from an Artist with sincere desire to share. Keep on Inspiring us Sir. With Great Respect...an Artist here from The Philippines. :)

I cant understand where there could be ANY complaints whatsoever about any of your videos! Please ignore the whiners and keep being you! You are loved and admired for your artistic skills and your lovely voice and personality.

You made the sky glow perfectly. I have watched the sky after storms and have seen the same scenario or nearly. You do justice to the Lord with your painting...

His soothing voice I like, a different style for a teacher, his paintings I love, great work

Yes! Talk about your painting process, it is really interesting and informative..to me anyway. It is great to watch you create your superb paintings and to hear you talking about your thoughts etc.

Hi Stuart I haven't painted for 30+ years until I watched your videos for a month or two now and I have been re- infused with the passion watching you work. Many thanks for the inspiration

Great to hear!

Hi Stuart, I have found your videos have put my painting into a totally different universe. I paint every day at work as self employed in retail and love it. You have made me love it more! My skies and landscapes have become effortlessly exciting to paint and to look at. Thankyou thankyou!

At the end when the full painting came on for final view shot, I paused it, and My eyes did exactly what you said sky first, trees on right, then sort of settled into seeing the whole thing, but then I was drawn to the bright spot on the left, and then could look at it as a whole. Pretty cool. tx

Took a few sittings but made it through another lengthy and beautiful painting. The final product was amazing. As for the ppl complaining about p's and b's and pops, well that's due to inferior headphones. Your voice is quite soothing to listen to and it helps as we follow whilst you're painting. (As you would say if that makes any sense). That's half the reason, for me anyway, why I enjoy your videos, and your shoulder is hardly an obstruction. If ppl wish to complain they can either turn the volume off of they can tap the little X at the top of the screen. PLEASE DON'T CHANGE A THING!

So grateful for your videos. I started painting about two years ago, and have only used acrylics. I was intimidated by oil, because I wasn’t sure about the mediums. I’m was thrilled to hear you say you don’t mix the paint with anything. I’ve been watching everyday since I came upon your channel. I enjoying listening to you as much as I do watching. Your lovely.

Very inspiring I love the freedom in your painting and the use of just household brushes to create such dramatic images

Hi Stuart, another great video thank you. I have now bought some oil paints after being inspired by you work. I have only painted in Acrylics, but wanted to venture into oils, and you have given me the confidence to try another medium. Thank you.

Thank you. I enjoyed your narration, because I like your thoughts on the process. And your voice is quite soothing. I imagine myself there, with a bottle of wine and some cheese, looking, becoming my surroundings.

You do not talk too much! I love the sound of your voice!

Once again you've shared a meaningful and learning art experience, Kudos! Applause for the method of presentation, voice editing adds value since you're able to discuss the process as it unfolds, easily missed while creating art. A thumbs up for having the courage and ability to accept meaningless comments about non-important differences that simply Do Not Add Value to the experience, you're a gentleman and a fine artist! Congrats on gaining new students and yes that Chinese Red and small spot of light behind the trees is perfect.

Absolutely beautiful. Just found you by accident and watched you paint this picture. I`ve just started painting in oils only this last week in my first year at uni as a mature student, and yes I will be painting along with you. I`ve been waiting for someone to inspire me...thank you

I really enjoyed our conversation, you didn’t hear me, but I was commenting in my mind about everything you said. You are so incredibly intelligent and interesting, it was like sitting with a dear friend of many years, jumping from one subject to another, as we do with those we are comfortable with. .. and the joy and fascination of your highly tuned talent and technique, your gift being shared. I thank you for this, my aloneness was not felt. Your way with words, flow like your brush, and as I stare at the beauty of this piece, I can still hear your voice. You are a gentle man, as you are a gentleman. I thank you Sir.

My wife’s father and all his family are English. We often discuss the language differences between America and England. My family came from Newton Abbott several generations ago. Love your commentary and your work.

Your videos are both informative and soothing, thank you for a wonderful experience :) I struggle strongly with clouds and shy from them often, I just try to hide them or make it look like it's meant to be a white blob, yet this makes me want to take it more seriously and properly study and form them. Though I am not an oil painter myself, it interests me, and much of what you teach can be applied to other forms of art. You're one of my favorite teachers on youtube :)

Esto de internet es maravilloso, he descubierto a un pintor algo extraordinario, me encanta este estilo, es usted un gran profesional, su pintura me encanta. Soy un aficionado desde que nací, pero la circunstancia de la vida o la necesidad de trabajar para ayudar a la familia no pude ir a bellas artes, ahora que estoy jubilado tengo tiempo de ver estas maravillas, como las que usted hace, y además pinto algo, pues me sirve de terapia para el cambio en mi nueva vida. Gracias maestro.

Please don't change a thing. There will always be complainers no matter what you do. I enjoyed listening to you, and learned a lot. Thank you.

How beautiful! I love your patient explanations.

It’s a beautiful painting again, I wouldn’t bother about who is bothered with the audio, your shoulder, etc, they’re free to watching somewhere else... you have a nice gentle voice, and I am really excited to watch the next videos... thanks for letting us into your art...

Thank you for your time .I really loved it.

I absolutely love to paint clouds, now with your tutorials I’m learning how and loving it with out the frustration,your a brilliant teacher sir. With all my thanks 😊🎨

Please continue discussing what you’re doing throughout your process. Personally I enjoy listening to you speak while watching you paint.

i dont get this. I have seen many MANY artists doing helpfulo art videos, and they are really good of course. But I am in the main left with a feeling of trepidation, and inadequacy by watching. Watching you paint however, and listening to your commentary imbues in me an almost hypnotic state, ( a familiar feeling as I am an advanced hypnotherapist), and none of the fear of getting involved and making a mess of it. I am simply drawn toward starting. Cant start yet, packed everything up prior to moving on the 25th. But really consciously looking forward to the summer, painting. Can not believe it. Thankyou so much Stuart. I am going to spend the time between now and my move sourcing oil paints etc, (not so easy here in Cyprus), as I dont have a great deal of oil paint, and it is apparent I need to source some chefs brushes lol. Brilliant!

wonderful ! a great artist & teacher too, how refreshing .

Leave alone your wonderful painting, your voice and English is so polished , so soft soothing and sophisticated as it should be from an Englishman.

Have recently started oil painting . Still at the blue sky & white cloud stage . Your approach to dramatic skies are a revelation

This was likely the single best art video that has finally explained in clear and concise detail, how to do dramatic skies! Thank you.

Mr. Davies. I found your page by accident, more of a happy accident really. You sir are a very talented artist, and a person whom can convey concepts quite easily through plain ole speech (something easier said than done...no pun intended). I, for one, greatly appreciate you sharing with the world your art and the procedures that you use, and most importantly, why you use them. Thank you sir for providing [me and others] with enough new concepts to last a very long time. Please keep up with these highly engaging and stimulating tutorials.

Yes, I'm painting along side. Very helpful for me!

Thank you Stuart. Every time watch you paint just feel like you are telling a story in your life..

I love that reference to Bob Ross! That was gr8! ( “we have happy little accidents”) and ur doing fine with ur video and sound...anyone who gives u a bad critique should understand what all is involved shooting a narration and video...look gr8 sir...

FANTASTIC ! Thank you! From South Africa

I've watched this video several times. I am totally entranced each time. Thank you Mr. Davies.

I can’t believe anyone would disrespect this master. If I had the money I would thoroughly enjoy taking lessons...I’ve been a painter with oils for years and need more instruction! I seem to get stuck and then my painting turns to mud. Thank u sir for spending ur time with us...bless u and ur family! Wish I was there to film u...I own a film production company...a small family owned business but we have state of the art hard ware and software...I do all the writing and music and my son edits and shoots all the film...take care sir and have a baguette or croissant for me...I’ve had them when I visited Paris as a youngster...dad was in the military...I lived Europe back in the late fifties and early sixties...

Thank you so much for this video and audio. The painting is so beautiful and I love Skies so much that that's what I've started painting with a couple years ago. Skies are my favorite. And you have given me the ultimate Way to put to practice some techniques that I didn't even think of. Thank you so much and I'm very much interested in watching more of your videos

where are you picking all these nagging comments from..? keep doing what youre doing, so glad I found this channel.

Watching you paint is a meditation for me, and a great way to learn at the same time. Big thanks. 👍 And keep talking, you have a nice voice and your very informative.

Mr. Davies, As of late, I have been painting whilst watching your videos. I must say each time my composition takes on a life of its own and winds up quite different than the lesson. I love everything about this technique you have apparently perfected, as well as make it look easy breezy. Getting the paint on the picture is quick and simple. Where I have the most to learn is detailing and finalizing. I picked up painting on accident about 3 years ago. Since then, it has become a means of staying sane in an insane world. A week or two back, I manifested several pieces of plywood. Looking forward to practicing masterpieces while viewing your awesome videos.

Beautiful composition with a dramatic atmosphere !!! Congrats...

I also have a complaint, and it is how one sided this is!. You doing all the giving, and me just sitting here soaking it up while you provide all this wonderful content and dialog. Plus, I get to discuss what you are doing with the resident artist here. I will be beginning some painting very soon, and am hoping to use some of the uploads for reference. We have gesso on some panels here and still need to sand a bit first. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

Unbelievable!!! I never thought for one minute in the beginning of this video when you started slapping that blue paint on That I would wind up seeing something so beautiful as this painting… thank you for sharing

You DO NOT talk too much, what you say is very interesting. Essential in my opinion.

Marvelous! You’re a magnificent artist, I love the presentation and the techniques you share! Thank you very much for your time and sharing your knowledge!

Thank you for telling us that you don't use thinners and odorless paints. I've hesitated to pick up oil painting for health concerns.

"Sky is blue and clouds are white." Only someone who has never really observed nature would say something like that. They DO need to get out more often.

Watched this whole thing without a brush in my hand, I may have to watch again and follow along. I love your skys and hope to one day beable to do it. Please don't stop talking most of us actually enjoy learning from you! Thank you for sharing! ×× Amy

I get "the sky is blue and the clouds are white." Since I started learning oil painting, about a month ago, I began really seeing the colors of skies, trees etc. I get distracted by the beauty of the color. Thank you for taking me to this place.
