  • James Gurney paints roses at the New York Botanical Garden.
    This segment is part of a full-length flower painting tutorial called "Flower Painting in the Wild," available from Gumroad at gumroad.com/l/flowerpainting
    The paint is casein, a water-based medium that uses milk as the binder.
    For more about casein, check out my Gumroad tutorial: "Casein Painting in the Wild."

    Musicians in the garden were members of the Dolce Ensemble

    You have so much patience answering to all this question and letting people pose with your painting. I honestly wouldn't be able to concentrate on my painting if I had to make small talk on top of that. So I usually put my earphones and ignore everything around me. I'm a mean painter 😅

      And not to mention letting people taking pictures like if they did it, I mean I would only let some people do it, as long as they dont look like clout chasers or influencers. Those people make me angry.

      I find when you play with people like that and let them play with you, it puts you in a more playful and upbeat mood, which ends up showing in your painting. Well done James, you're a real gentleman...!

    I would honestly love to hear more stories about onlookers while you paint en plein air! It's always so fascinating to hear what other artists endure while working in public places. Once, while painting in an almost abandoned spot on a mountain, a family appeared, watched for a bit, then the father actually asked me, "Did you paint that?". 🤦

    James I started using casein after watching you and I love it! I can only hope that with a lot of effort, one day I’ll be half as good as you. Your roses are beautiful and it took me a second to realize that you had switched from the actual roses to your painting! It’s kind of you to be so patient with people. I was sent over by Dianne Mize and I’m so thankful that she mentioned you. You and Jeanette are both so talented and I enjoy the contrast of your styles. It’s always a joy to watch your videos. Thank you, Julie 🥰☮️
