James Gurney are you familiar to the dutch painter Rien Poortvliet?
Yes, I love his work and have most of his book (the ones in English, anyway).
Jochem Witteveen wow, what an amazing painter. Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorites. His work takes you to another world
yes! Rien Poortvliet and James Gurney - both are for me mindbogglingly amazing.
I love the way you find beauty in everyday things that most take for granted. BTW your Color and Light book is great read and reference. I found it very instructional and useful as a photographer even though the book is aimed at painting. :) Thanks for sharing your artistry through these great videos.
You explained to me the concept of measuring with a pencil with a few simple words, amazing.
You are so good at what you do!! Wow!
Your not only an amazing artist. But also extremely good teacher. I dont think ive ever learned that much from a tutorial. Thank you
What an excellent composition. You make detail so easy. Sometimes it’s the most basic things that make the difference. And I am impressed with your printing on such a small sign! Ha. Beautiful work.
Thanks, Sharon. I love working tiny.
Gorgeous painting. I love how you take a seemingly simple scene and give it new life.
The way he writes the tiny letters with a brush 🔥
Jim, thanks so much. I appreciate your attention to detail and great tips. I've learned quite a bit from you, thanks again. Phil from Ohio
this guys, man. I swear to god. he has the science and the heart perfectly aligned plus an incredible talent for explaining things. even his voice or editing..just wow.
I remeber seeing this last year, just saw it again, and learned more! mr. Gurney, your a great inspiration! and a great teacher! I went to an art school, and i can see that your a master at perspective, the use of color, and creating a mood.! wow!
It’s therapeutic watching someone paint
Nice job James. I hope you can do your work for many more years.
i work mostly in digital, but you are really making me want to give gouache a try. I find the process a little terrifying but your results are wonderful. I love your work.
Love when you made the 3 keys it helps focus for beginners when there is so much too learn thanks!
James, you are a magician! How you can control paint so well and include so much detail in small piece is truly remarkable! I enjoy all of your videos.
Lovely painting and excellent video. It’s done so seamlessly that I think some viewers might overlook the high production values of the video overlays, narration, etc. Really well done. Thank you!
Had to come back and watch this one again. Great work!
Only because of you I thoroughly enjoy gouache.....I thank you from bottom of my heart
Love your videos. Always look forward to them. They are well done, informative and very entertaining.
Thank you for such generosity in sharing all your knowledge! ❣️
I absolutely love this video. It would complete my life if you ever did a sketchbook tour.😻😻😻😻😻
Love the intro effect, how your painting turned into an image from a camera.
Awesome painting, as always.☺️
Thank you for the video which is loaded with tips. I really enjoyed the initial wet wash that gave you time to add the darker background that looked like a watercolor wash. Then at the end all the adjustments you made for the light and dark, and the chalk to add a little haze. Essie
This was such a joy to watch. Thank you!
Haaa, James I love you never ending inventions for your videos.. very cool!!
Wooo a Gurney video over 5 mins long! I enjoyed every second.
I would love to frame that painting. I absolutely love the marks you make on paper. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you James!
HOOKED! I feel like I'm cheating watching your generous videos because they're just too good to be true that they're free to learn from and enjoy. You've got me all excited about plein-air painting and gouche. Appreciate the tips about using pencils, chalk and gel pens. Question: How do you seal your art when finished?
Your videos put me in such a peaceful state of mind, and your way of painting is very inspiring! Only wish the videos were longer.
That outtro was so cool!!
Just awesome! For such short video, I learned a few interesting techniques, thanks for sharing!
Inspiring, as always James!
goddamn thats awesome. its like every road in ohio. ive never been there but looking at it gives me a sense of nostalgia. i could get lost in a pic like that makin up stories for the people in the houses, etc.
Thank you for sharing with us your greatness
Your chroma of the painting is correct and so natural....I could feel the weather in that place....through your painting
Woaw I love that old school style of painting and format of film like old school TV painting show, I really love it!!
Amazing work, as always!! Thank you for sharing!
I absolutely love watching your work. You are really amazing. I also love how you produce and edit your video!! Great stuff!!
Thank you for this tutorial. I grew up in Connecticut so this demo really had a sense of 'home' for me.
I always like looking out for those contraptions you make for use in start and end credits! (and your painting, of course!)
Love this painting! Such a talented artist and wonderful channel!!
Your work and videos are AMAZING! I learn a lot from you! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, very helpful indeed and engagingly presented - it makes me want to get my gouache paints out again!
Nice video and the outro was fun with you letting those clips snap open. It caught my intention, making me watch all the signs go up. Normally I often click away after the main part of the video is over but you managed to made me stay. Very well done!
Fantastic! Thanks James.
Great work! You have some of the best made art videos out there
amazing vid, thanks. Always wanted to see how the actual level of detail is achieved
I've never painted, but this was fascinating to watch. The picture looked great
You’re an amazing painter, I went from Watercolour to Acryllic cause I found it so frustrating and you do it with ease
His eye for detail is photographic!
You are one cool dude! I'm very happy to have found your channel. I want to try gouache soon.
This is so cool! I miss your videos since I wasn't able to get around to watching them. I love your sense of originality in everything you do! :D
Really terrific, once again!
That's fantastic artwork!
I am so amazed at how you’re so detail and talented!

Sir! You're one of my masters!
well done as usual. I have all his DVD downloads.

You really are a wonderful artist
Looks amazing with details.
Fantastic artwork ✌
Fantastic knowledge packed session, thank you.
The chalk and gel pen are great ideas. I'll have to add those to my art bag :)
Beautiful! Very informative and peaceful video. Will try something like this soon.
Very helpful tips. Thank you!
Such amazing work. You are my biggest inspiration when it comes to painting! Your art reminds me of the game Life is Strange because of the scenery and style.
Beautiful work! Very inspiring!
Very nice! Congratulations!
Omg excellent tutorial video. Thanks for sharing
Style and skill!

your art work always looks perfect and realistic ...i Absolutely loved your art style..you're my art inspiration.. :D
Hey James, your paintings are awesome :)
I love your stuff.
Love your videos!
Very very beautiful art thank
That's amazing! I am from Indiana, and saw the painting that you did at the Indiana theater. How do you do such small lettering, so well?! Your paintings are so realistic.
To work small I kind of pretend I'm an ant, and that a postage stamp is the size of a bedsheet.
James Gurney hehehe
Beautiful.
Hi, James! I really love your work. I'm still a beginner but I hope I can be like you someday. Could please create a video explaining the basic techniques of gouache? Thank you so much.
Nyrryl, Thanks! Please check out my blog, which has over 100 archived posts about gouache: gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/search/label/Gouache
Love those mousetrap springs at the end!
Your picture is very good ~♡
James, fantastic video and painting.
I love your videos in the small towns of NY State. They're all so quaint. Do you reside there, sir?
That is very impressive. The only thing for me is that I am impatient, and when I see great things like this done in timelapse my impatience is heightened because even though I know you took a long time, I would want to rush it. How long did it take.
I am just going to have to learn to take my time.
Mr. Gurney thanks for another wonderful video. I have observed that when drawing, in some videos you hold the pencil in an over-hand grip and sometimes using the common 'writing' grip. Is this pre-determined based on size and subject or just a random thing that you don't worry about much?
I'm not really conscious of that. I guess I use the overhand grip for the big stuff and the normal writing grip for the smaller details.
WOW! I always spend a lot of time on the pencil phase but I rarely get it to overlap so perfectly with a photo of the reality like this one. That's incredible! I guess I need to keep drawing/painting for a few more decades :-) Can you please remind us how long that took? 3 hours? I have to say, your gouache videos have gotten me seriously into gouache and it is my favourite these days: I love how it feels under the brush when you apply it (unlike acrylic) and the mat finish is beautiful.
Thanks! The drawing took about 40 minutes, and the painting about two hours more. So I guess it was about 3 hours.
I’ve been very inspired by art you make and the depth you put in them, have any tips on making depth and dimension in paint? And also I’ve been struggling to get light or lighting onto objects like houses or trees and it frustrates me sometimes but I do get through of what I’m painting and sometimes I like what I create afterwards.
Awesome!
I'm an artist also,,,, you make me look bad,, in a good way though. UNBELIEVABLE detailing. Watching and learning sensai. Fabulous. Cheers. ❤️😊
Very interesting. I did a little "sleuthing" via google map & actually found the spot where this was painted. Gurney seemed to have "CONDENSED' the view. The House/Bldg Focal points are closer in painting than the actual (Its Cambridge NY going out of town past Washington St)
Hi from France James, I follow you and your awesome art. I am drawing teacher and have a blog on drawing. One day, I would like to draw and paint with you. Thank you for sharing, you inspire me :)
You should visit Lake George NY, its only about 30-40 minutes from Greenwich. Not only is it a very beautiful part of the Adirondacks, but its rich in native american and early European settler history. A gorgeous place to paint!
I love Lake George. I was attracted to the funky miniature golf course.
