Thank you, for enabling, seeing again or freedom, especially today and the confines of "realism." It is OK to be that free!
Thank you for sharing :)
Why cover up EVERY SHOT with words and letters instead of showing the paintings unmolested? What a waste.
Are you serious? This is a painting tutorial, not an art gallery.
I don’t understand what surface you’re painting on ???❤thanks for sharing
I am so enjoying your videos and I feel so grateful to you for your generosity. You are so the right teacher for me . I feel and relate to your way of seeing things in so many ways. I love that you are both playful and share intellectual things with us. You have gained so much knowledge and I really appreciate your work. You’re work is extraordinary and I feel honored to have you cross my path .and am grateful to you for so generously sharing it… it’s wonderful to know you and share this incredible work I so love to learn and to paint and you are teaching me so much . I can’t thank you enough for being my great and inspiring teacher and for being such a wonderful human being. You are a true light being… so keep shining 💫✨we need you ❤
I really enjoyed watching the demo. Will try for sure. Could I do the same technique on ampersand board rather than aluminium?
I feel like I don't need to watch any other artist. I have found my mentor David. Your tutorials are THE best. I have learnt sooo much since I discovered your amazing art. Thank you so much. You brought Abstract art down to my level of understanding!! Lots of love Debs in Spain❤
What is with the gloves?
Greetings from Brazil, Mr. Dunlop. It is a great pleasure seeing you painting and making comments in Giverny. I appreciate your work enormously. Congratulations.
Anytime we mention time, its an imaginary myth.
Van Gogh-ing that gal’s painting was the best, quick lesson I’ve ever seen.
Brilliant!
Thanks , i very much enjoyed this program 💕
Your program has given me a greater respect for all the great artists like Sargent. A really fascinating proggram.
Great episode!!
He makes good sense.
Why are all the trees leaning downhill?
Dang dude your content is sooooo good. Painting is so exciting, thrilling even. I wish I had more exciting friends
This is just fantastic! I love the outcome so much. Very exciting and inspiring. Sincerely Paula
Vous êtes un génie 😮 Mon dieu!! J’aimerais tellement avoir votre niveau 😢
Dommage qu’il ya pas de traduction en Français 😢
Surely he was a man in his prime I'm sure he painted exactly what he's saying. But( at his age) he probably ( he could not see clearly) that's why everything's so muted and( blurred ) which is not my favorite thing... so sad 😢
Thank you so much for your videos...I love your history of Art lesson while painting and breakdown of technique. All the best from Italy
Dear Rosalee - Thank you very much!We are happy that you watched our programs and enjoyed them. Thank you for writing to us! Kind regards, David and Connie
A second time watching this excellent tutorial for what I consider a very difficult landscape subject. I've been trying to figure out how to paint a photograph I took of a mouth of a creek, on a beach full of river stones as far as the horizon can see. I will definitely use a lot of the techniques used here. THANK YOU, excellent tutorial.
Thank you so much, Walter. These type of scenes are so exciting to paint and we are delighted you enjoyed the program Kind regards, David and Connie

So we can blame Stravinsky for Philip Glass! Lol. Seriously, the introduction pulling in analogies to music is so rich and interesting. Thank you!!
Dear Steve - We are happy that you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for watching and for writing to us! It means so much to us to hear from you. It is amazing to involve many of the senses to enrich an experience, isn't it? All the best, Connie and David
The proper title would be "From Order to Chaos." Salvador Dali was correct: Americans, and their dropping of the atomic bomb upon another nation, were the impulse of the deconstructionism of natural and human order. Nothing has been the same since. Then, the Americans detonated the "abstract expressionism" bomb, which was the atomic bomb in the world of art. Bomb after a bomb, blast after a blast. This video shows that now, 80 years later, we are dealing with the side effects of blasts and the radiation that is still burning our tissue and art, trying to find ways to live with damage and deformations in both.
Painting is about ‘relationships”. Values of colors. Cool and warms.
Dear Incognito! Thank you so much for watching and for writing. We are delighted that you shared your insight. Kind regards, David and Connie
Very well done - informative talk and excellent painting! Thank you - Donna
Dear Donna - We are happy that you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for watching and for writing to us! It means so much to us to hear from you. It was lovely being there. All the best, Connie and David
Now I understand your gloves though I just have to get messy. I need to FEEL the paint and for me means not plastic gloves, but flesh. Messy
Hi, Nancy! Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. I really try to protect myself from any toxic chemicals and also find it can get messy! Good luck with your painting. Kind regards, David and Connie
Thank you, your videos are so informative and beautiful.
I thank you for your sharing of your talent, also your explanation of technique is excellent. You have inspired me to try glazing. How long does it take for this painting to dry and do you varnish it? Best regards.
He makes it look so easy to paint a stunning painting in 15 minutes!
Thank you Steve - It is great to see you here again - thank you so much. We are delighted you enjoyed it. It was a spectacular day in Monet's gardens - we were really lucky. Kind regards, David and Connie
This is really good.
You are really well read.
Watercolours are heavily dependent on paper quality. JS Sargent used French-made paper for his charcoal drawings, but used British-made paper for his watercolours. Unfortunately for us today, we use French-made watercolour paper and its derivatives, which were designed more for 20th century abstract art. It makes many Sargent's techniques and results difficult to repeat.
Couldn't agree more. Also I've been diving into materials the greats used. I've discovered the brushes and the paints are vastly different. There's more than skill when you look at a van dyke or a sargent. I truly believe the materials are far superior. I'd imagine it being similar to the feeling of a sturdy American car from the 60s vs hopping into a Toyota corolla. We may be able to have the most advanced materials.. But if they are built on a foundation of cheap ways to make a buck over quality, it really doesn't matter. Sometimes capitalism gets the best of us. Lol
@@alex24mamba You're correct. Not only the papers we use were redesigned for a different purpose, but the paints we use are sourced from the manufacturing process for the automotive industry and exterior paint and coatings industry. Paints are then constantly reformulated without our consent or knowledge. Pigment sizes in coatings industries are 3-10x smaller than smallest art pigments of 100 years ago, which makes watercolour in particular more difficult and over-saturated. Reformulated paper and paint destroy our fine-art brushes quickly. Paper is too abrasive, destroys the brush tips; pigment is too fine, clots the hair to suboptimal performance. If we care about fine art at all, we need to manufacture fine art materials from scratch and specifically for art purposes, as we once used to.
Amazing and interesting way to create an image and beautiful artwork .😊
I truly love this video and all that it covers. The pink is awesome, all of it is. Thank you for sharing. I could watch these videos all day long as they are captivating. Thank you, Connie and David!
Hi, Paula! Thank you so much for watching and for writing. We are delighted you enjoyed it. We had a great time producing this video as well! Kind regards, David and Connie
This video could be your best ,but unfortunately the talking is at warp speed and we can’t take in the beautiful art either because it’s all moving too fast . Is the video speeded up ? So annoying ,especially for hearing impaired viewers like me ,and art lovers like me who spent many hours in great museums . You don’t show or speak of art at warp speed . Please 🙏
Wow
I love your video thank you very much for your tutorial 🙏🏼
I was very impressed with that young man's painting. When David softened roundness an added leaves an texture wow.
David Karel here thank you. Your knowledge is breathtaking. Those masters were incredible. I've noticed the best artists I know are comfortable with those giant brushes. I'm in awe. It's interesting how so much knowledge on the techniques of these artists still survive after 300 or more years. You are the Rick Steve's of the art world.
Dear user-mh3ro1dn4w - Thank you so much for watching and writing - and for sending such generous comments! We are delighted you enjoyed it. Kind regards, David and Connie
