THANKS FOR WATCHING! - Zábava
This unending display of generosity..........sharing the knowledge of your life's passion in this day and age of the almighty greenback, just goes to
show...........there's still hope.
Your so right...I am grateful for his videos and sharing his knowledge...time and watching him paint...he's wonderful...may God bless him...
you're*
You're referring to usury, not greenbacks.
You are so right. I don't even bother watching a video before I click "like" anymore haha. I just click "like" then watch the video
I could watch you paint all day. I have never seen anyone use as much detail as you. You are remarkable. Thank you so much for sharing.
You're one of the best foliage and water reflection artist I've seen. Love your attention to detail. I've learned a lot from all your videos. Thank you so much for posting your work.
Your talent is out of this world. Beyond human capabilities. Your mind, eyes and hand altogether are brilliantly creative.
Михаел, Вы великий художник! Работы просто великолепные! Я очень рада, что есть такие мастера искусства))). Очень люблю Вашу технику письма. Спасибо за уроки, Вы вдохновляете других художников!!!
Love the detail you capture and ability to use greens so effectively.
Love your technique. I must try that. Thanks for teaching!
As is usual, excellent! Thanks for sharing Michael!
I always had problems painting trees and grass...your video tutorials really make it feel simple, logic and easy to do. Thank you!
I could not watch you paint all day... that goes for anyone. But watching for a few hours.... you're near the top of the list... But for real, I do appreciate your normal speed brush strokes as I like to see what the bristles are doing, how much paint you hang on to them, how hard/soft you apply the brushes to the canvas, etc... This is something you do well and more than other on-line-teachers who don't do so often as I like. There's your prize. Thank you...good video.
Positively the best videos I've ever seen. The patience with which he paints the leaves is truly amazing. I can remember watching Bob Ross taking those huge brushes and tapping away to give a foliage look to the trees and bushes. Quick & easy, but no where near as beautiful as Michael's method. Slow and steady!
Michael I have seen this before but I could watch you paint all the time. The way you put the detail together. It is like you could wade through that bright light through the trees. Watching you makes me want to grab my paints and get painting. Thank you for giving us your tips so we could use in our work. Have a great day
Thanks, Michael for your videos. I have had trouble with trees my entire career as an artist. You have helped me so much. Now my trees look 3D and real, like a photo. I'm still working and will always be improving my skills. I can't tell you how these videos have helped. You are very good at teaching and you are very easy to follow. Again, Thanks
My pleasure
Remarkable talent ... terrific painting ... excellent tutorial
Thank again Michael for the inspiration. I need to try out how to paint Aussie gum tree leaves now.
I think I'm stunned, in awe, at just how good you are. I see no one else on CZcams including the amount of detail you do or achieve the extent of realism you do. I watch a lot of different artists but you are the one I want to, and am trying to emulate. I bought from Rosemary & Company three of the brushes and one you designed and it is just excellent. That was keen insight on your part. I just don't have the money, at age 70 and on limited fixed income, to afford the wonderful materials you do. If I had the money I'd paint up a storm in my few remaining years. I've experienced enough to see that while personal technical expertise makes one a better artist, the brushes do make a difference, as do the paints and the substrate. I admire you Michael and think you're one of the world's best.
I love your work! Excellent job on the foliage! Each picture you do looks so beautiful, serene and peaceful, Like I want to be in there spending the day! LOL Thank you so much for the lessons! I have always struggled with trees and leaves , now I have the knowledge to paint them with confidence that they will portray themselves realistically such as yours. So Grateful ! You are a fantastic Artist!
One of the best tutprials I have ever seen on foliage. Thank you so much for sharing this Michael. I,m blown over by your landscapes!
Another super video Michael - lovely close ups of your brushwork and in real time we can see so much more. Thanks for being so generous and sharing your skills with us.
Hallo Michael. Thank you for showing your palette and how you mix the colours. Huge help. I am systematically watching all your videos and learning so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the incredible amount of effort you put into your work. When you speak and give advice you dont make me feel like a total klutz!
Just so grateful for all your demos. Thank you so very much.
You make it look so simple Michael I am in awe of your talent. Thank you so much. Ive learnt so much.
this clip is done very well . The artist does a magnificent job showing how to paint, magnificently. I will do technique this to finish my Central Park landscape.I've done 2 four hour sittings in the roasting hot NYC this month. Now I've spent many studio hours on it. I want to go back to the site, and almost paint notes to finish it in the studio ( Using my newly learn foreground tree painting technique .
So so so BEAUTIFUL thank you Michael!
Yet another master piece from Michael James I enjoyed watching!!! Bravo!!
I would love seeing you make other types of landscapes, with other features taking stage such as cliffs or other types or trees, mayhaps heather tangle strewn across the ground or such, a mountainous hillside with boulder ridges and more chillyness contrasting the warmth of vegetation.
Your touch of detail would make any landscape astonishing, i'm sure.
Absolutely lovely work today, your lush pictures always lends such a comfortable feeling.
Thank you Micheal i am learning soooo much from you, painting as such a calming effect. 💕👍
Gracias por sus enseñanzas James, he aprendido mucho de usted. Me encanta ver el follaje de los árboles, la maleza, sus colores, los reflejos en el agua, todo, es fascinante. Lo felicito por tan excelente trabajo!
You are very generous with sharing your talent! Thank you!
Just love your work and extremely grateful for sharing your techniques!
Nunca vi um pintor tão perfeito, parabéns
thx. I'd like to back into painting after 20 years of stopping. you inspire me thank you Michael.
Excellent tutorial video! Thank you so much! I’ve been somewhat intimidated doing foliage in my current painting. This helps me out a lot! Thanks for being so generous with us.
I appreciate the way you show the progress of a painting from start to finish. Thank you for posting these videos. Would love to see more water and rock studies if you could work them in. I look forward to your posts every day. Thanks!
Wow! Patience is certainly a Virtue! Love watching you paint...you truly make a picture come to life! My take away is having 'Patience' and building the layers...Thank you so much for Sharing!!
Your paintings are so breathtaking. I look forward to one day being able to paint such beautiful masterpieces, just like you.

The painstaking painting effort and the evolving foreground foliage that has finally emerged in its hyper realistic form is really mesmerising. It's very educative and enriching. Thanks very much ! As I have already subscribed to this channel, I hope I will get latest videos info to my inbox also.
Thanks Michael, the volume of the music is much better when you talk I can hear you perfectly, Its such a small detail but it makes a big difference to the hard of hearing.
Absolutely beautiful.................thank you. Can't wait to try all these things..................
Thank You!!! and thanks for the music!! My art is improving by just watching your video's!!

I have been wanting to learn to do oil painting. And your videos are such an inspiration. Awesome work Michael! You are a great teacher!
Many thanks for great video on process. Excellent descriptions in bite-size portions. Great to learn through listening and observing and artist creating a work.
Love your work, keep wowing us with beautiful realism.
you are the master of a green color :-)
Michael wish you much success in painting !!!
You're really good! I'm learning a lot from you, thanks!
J'adore votre technique, vos éclairages sont superbe merci!
It is fascinating to see you paint, the realism of your paintings is wonderful, it is my best hobby, but I have difficulty with English and surely it is for many Spanish-speaking people who, like me, love your paintings, please translate into Spanish, thanks 👍 👏
I NEEDED THIS TODAY! I was messing up and thought I’d really blown it but I see how to recover now, and this is so so so helpful I wanted to thank you. I’m going to enroll in your school today I believe, as it seems so much what I need stepping fron acrylic to oils and maybe no practice with oils for the last 45 years, LOL.
I am very happy for finding one of the best teacher 🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for these awesome video's from another uk tea addict, you have inspired me to improve my landscape painting so many great tips without making the some point over and over.
I am glad that I found your channel !
Michael , you are amazing! Very inspiring work.
Michael. One area I struggle with is the realistic atmosphere on trees or hills. your background here is stunning. would be good to see how you get that realistic atmosphere in your paintings. Thanks for all the videos they have helped me so much.
Amazing. Thanks so much for sharing, not everyone is generous enough to do that! This really helped me. Thanks again!
Michael ,
very well explained, congratulations, very clear the landscapes that work in a very handicapped way
I've shied away from doing trees in oils, after watching your videos I think I'm ready to give it another go
lindo,você é mto bom,Michael! maravilhoso.
Michael,I am delighted by your techniques,I recently fell upon the tree methods and taught my classes,you have opened my eyes to the water methods which had me baffled before your explanation and demo,thank you so much for this.john Hassall Art Groups
Wonderful!
I could watch literally all day.
I am from India, I have never seen patience of this level for detailing.you are real master.
Hats off to you sir.🙏
Amazing as always.. The moment i saw your painting for the first time, i became a fan..
Fantastic!
Michael, you are fantastic. I watch you so much hoping my brushes will do what yours do, BUT they don't. You also are hilarious and bring me a smile. I think it is in the "eye". You just see it all so wonderfully - the colors, shapes etc. I try not to get discouraged and figure if I watch you enough, some of it may sink in!!! Thanks much mate! Marge from Toledo, Ohio USA
I am full of delight !!!!!!
You are the best ! thank you very much for sharing your wonderful videos !
Estou aprendendo muito com você, obrigado Michael!
Somos dois rsrs

Amazing work!
Thank you so much. I've been looking for this very help for a long time.
That's awesome
I missed out tree painting, beautiful!!!
Thank you for sharing your delightful technique. I´m living in Venezuela and it helps me to combine your artform with Mauricio Barbato´s from Brazil. Painting tropical rainforests is very demanding and I was looking for someone who could give me tips to get a representing way to integrate the beauty of this kind of nature. And I love your musical background to! Very inspiring. Thank you very much!
