So appealing. The outro was so cool too! Never seen anything like it
Here's a video about how to make your own CZcams endscreen gadget: czcams.com/video/QDpuHKxKFvQ/video.html
James: Let me paint this place
Smooth: Let me eat this place
"What are you eating? Don't eat that." < The life of every dog owner. 🤣
Or parent lol
There is something so much more wonderful about your channel than other art channels. I never feel like you are telling me how I should draw or the type of forms and shapes that I should use like so many others. You are just showing how you draw and talking about the wonderful and technical things that swim through your head when you paint and make art.
Your channel is such a wonderful breath of air on this platform and I love all of your work!
Thank you so much 😀
Your welcome!!!
That is the most dog I’ve ever seen a dog be
The mystery of 'what was Smooth eating?' will now haunt me forever
Jonny English however if there are farms nearby and horse paths and I believe there are, then nice tasty manure may be on the menu if Smooth is lucky.
Seemed to be part of the log he was burrowing in. Quit the contrast to poetry and painting. The painting was lovely but I am not there yet to grasp the variation in shapes and texture.
Mr Gurney, you seem to have life all figured out in the best kind of way.
Fernando Pessoa és o verdadeiro Fernando pessoa?
I love how you can take all the chaos of light, shadows, leaves and branches and make a cohesive depiction of a patch of wilderness. Also love that you take Smooth on your plein air excursions :) Thanks also for showing his drink of water!
That jump was some James Bond stuff😂
James Gurney shadow in the beginning of the video made him look like he had a humongous back side 😄
I wear my Fanny Pack with pride!
Curvy Gurney Journey.. Sorry
holy shit i just found out who you are! you made Dinotopia? what are the odds, i just find a interesting art video by random (this video if your wondering), and then i find out you made a very important part of my childhood.
He also has a blog that's also very informative.
I'm really jealous of your ability to look at a scene and interpret exactly how you need to layer the colors to create the image!
Directed by Terrence Malick
So lush. Smooth is lucky to have you.
How I love your videos. So much more than just wonderful painting instruction. Thanks for inspiring the adventurer in all of us! By the way, Smooth has the ultimate dog's life!
Kinda reminded me of when Evil Kinevil jumped the grand canyon. Lol. Smooth was tearing that log up. You may go back and that footpath may be paved....Great painting
I love it when you include your dog in your videos, he is the star!
Thank you for reminding me (with your socks) to protect against ticks when I go out sketching this weekend!
Right, and when you get back, strip down and have someone "look you over"!! ;)
And chiggers, talk about misery. I usually spray bug spray on my lower legs, one with high deet percentage.
I was floored by how suddenly the painting came together! I know there were jump cuts but geez, suddenly a lovely simple "blocked in" style landscape was so intricate! Truly lovely.
Smoothi was absolutely DEVOURING that dead tree bark lmao
Only Artist I watch on CZcams,.. I worked as an Artist for the entertainment industry, billboard artist, sign painter, sculptor,...watching you paint made me break out my paints again, this old man thanks you....
that's lovely. I don't think I could paint outdoors with my dog. I concentrate on her and what she's does.
Beautiful James! I enjoy learning how you break down into manageable steps such a complex scene .Give Smooth a pet for me..
Smooth is such a beautiful dog! It was almost as much of a treat to watch him play and get up to trouble as it was to watch you paint this scene. Your location reminds me very much of the spaces where I used to camp and hike every summer in Northern Oregon. Beautiful!
Ive never seen a dog act so primal it was so amazing and pure haha what a cutie.
right? It was refreshing. Most people just yell at their dogs and tell em to stop whenever they get into something. They came from wolves! Dont forget that and let them do their thing lol
You're like the Bob Ross of CZcams. Love your videos.
this is MASTERY. I am so inspired with the poetry & philosophy you weave through these presentations. the final look of the piece is so well varied & full of entrancing interest! thank you always!
that path is so dreamy. it's taking me back to a memory i've never had before and you captured it so well to your painting, i love it.
Fantastic glimpse of rural America in summer. I need to use my gouache more.
Dogs are so awesome.
Smooth going sicko mode on that log
Holy cow, that was a much more hell of a jump than I realized it was going to be
Oh, I can SO empathize with that inability to get off the road...even in our local state park, unless you care to park in one of the parking lots and keep to the asphalt path around the lake, you can't get at some of most interesting things to sketch! But you ARE inspiring me to get my gouache out again, thank you James!
This was a good study of light and dark colour.
Lovely video. Not just the painting. Nice
I LOVE Smooth, he's so funny
Oh so beautiful. Was hoping you got the white leaves catching the light. Love this. Yikes. Run from the ticks.
Hi James... I wonder how many viewers recognized what you were doing in the beginning of the video when you were over lapping your socks over your pants.... to avoid the ticks you were going to be walking through. Your finished painting made me wonder if you could have had one of your dinosaurs peeking through, maybe a T-rex coming out of the shadows in the distance approaching you. Excellent video again, thank you.
Cool, "you're in the know". I also used some tick spray, but somehow the ticks found their way onto me anyway.
@@JamesGurney The ticks seem to be in abundance this year, maybe because of all the rain and wet. Looking forward to your next video.
I love how u see opportunities in common/distinct places
I love your dog just being a dog.
Love your painting but love your pup even more! Really nice pup and beautiful painting.
It would be cool to see this spot again in fall or winter.
Beautifully shot! I notice so much more about editing now that I've started making my own videos. And what an amazing dog and so well trained! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into sharing your amazing work with us James!
I love the dramatic violin...
That was very pleasant. I enjoyed Smooth as much as the painting. Thanks!
Awwww Smooth looks SO happy frolicking in the grass and in that log that he’s digging at and gnawing on ❤️ beautiful painting also
Hope he didn't get any ticks
Really well explained. If I had my dog along I’d be unable to continuously focus on my painting and him too! Kudos for keeping your focus and temperament positive.
I love Smooth! 😍
thank you so much. It's so précious... the place, yours comments about the wildness... and of course, first at all your painting, tips and explications. Very précious !
beautiful thank you!
I would love to see more videos in nature! Beautiful! Thank you for this!
You did a really good job with your greens. I enjoy the way you share your commentary on doing the painting.Thank you!
I think this is the thread or fourth time I've watched this video. As good this time as the first. I really like the dark over light. Thanks for sharing
Wow, thank you!
Smooth is wonderful!!!
That was a fun video; sharing time with Smooth added in to boot!
That dog is hilarious.
thank you for all the educational and entertaining videos, Sir James. If anything, your faithfulness to painting, to art, (for me at the least) is what makes your content unique and precious. also, the effort for cinematography and other visual effects is much appreciated ❤
moving forward, I intend to pick up color and painting as parts of my own practice; to have Sir James as my first "mentor/teacher", it is an honor.
Thank you for ever gracing CZcams, Sir James. Stay safe and healthy.
Glad you're enjoying. I'm having a blast putting stuff out there.
happy to know, sir ☺ 🙆♂️ ⭐
A metal pencil tray as a mixing tray? Brilliant idea! :D
Very happy for discovering this channel! Painting a forest is one of my dreams, but for the moment I only made a mess 🤔☺ Greetings from Italy and thank you so much. A hug to your furry friend 🍀🌲
Your style is so appealing to me. Your instruction makes it seem achievable. So inspiring.
So enjoyable to watch and great lessons. Love Smooth!
So fun to watch. It was nice to get acquainted with the scene and adventure to get there.
Good to see we enjoy some of the same videos!
Beautiful...I love to watch you build your paintings step by step.....so so helpful. Thank you James :)
Smooth is an artist too.
Great story teller and outstanding painter.
Delightful painting from an English lady who loves painting in our woods and yes we have lanes and footpaths all over the country, on a sunny day you meet people just happy to be with nature 👍🏻💖🇬🇧
I love the light In this painting , it is such a lovely scene :) smooth made me smile the whole time ! he has such a sweet personality
I love the jumping scene
Loving your videos, James. There's some mesmerizing quality to them, you masterfully control viewer's attention and watching him/her not to get bored of repetitive actions. Mixing it with footage of your dog for example, or with some interesting facts. And it feels so warm and magical, like an old fantasy movie. Paintings are fantastic and there are a lot of valuable information and methods. Please, keep doing what you do.
Beautiful painting James! You had to hike to get to that Location a good Sign of One who loves Art making.
Glorious little film to watch during Lockdown, cheers!
beautiful painting, beautiful nature, beautiful doggy :)
This makes me happy.
It's like watching Andrew Wyeth. Thanks for sharing. I think you're dog is hungry.
Reminds me a lot of the studio ghibli background work, fantastic stuff!
Love your outdoor works, Thanks
I’ve always been a watercolour purest but after seeing your handling of gouache I’m going to give it a go, I’ve had some tubes of gouache sitting in my box that I won for something a while back and am excited at having a go. Lovely paintings you do. And hay a dogs go to eat.....
Interesting about pathways in the U.K. THE very best place for freedom to walk anywhere is Wales in the U.K. l’m a 72 old artist and have greatly enjoyed your videos and Colour triad Gamut Mask and your influence of Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema in your glorious book Dinotopia.
Such great variety in your greens and textures. Looks like a lot of fun.
Man Smooth has really been enjoying himself, great painting James Gurney mother nature is beautiful.
Wonerful Video James .. Thank You for all you do !!!!
I needed this video today. Thank you for being a great teacher! Beautiful!
Magical!
Your production quality has gone way up over time, I salute you for that! can't get enough of these videos
good doggo
Loved that Gladiator shot at 0:22 haha.
Haha, You got it.
I absolutely love watching you paint. Thank you for sharing😃
Thank you James for these wonderful videos. Love your style, creative and without bounds.
Hi James, I've watched afew of your painting sessions now and I just can't get over how good you are on so many levels.
Your videos are like meditation to me. Thank you, James!
Your videos are great. So creative and informative. Always excited to see your new posts.
What a great video! Your narration made the artwork speak with words.
Love the direct approach and the acute observations interpreted in the brush stokes!
I like how you explain why you do what you do, so helpful!
I'm getting some real Van Gogh/At Eternity's Gate vibes. I love that film, and you're a really good cinematographer.
Leaving work and then watching that was really relaxing.
God bless you my friend
I love the way you filmed this. The whole feeling of this is wonderful and educational
Terrific...thanks so much.
Brilliant, always love your videos, and you are so right about the English footpaths.
I bet most of us are craving such a day out! Love how both you and smoothie have the best of your times!
Just love your work James👍🇺🇸🇩🇰
