“Make the mess first, and then unravel it” - I love that! Thank you.
This, of course is a rather lovely way to go about it! I am looking to finally start painting after decades dreaming of becoming a painter and will forever return to this brilliant saying!
"I'm an adult; I can do what I like" 👍 I am going to borrow that.
Awesome instructor! Thank you!!!
A nice painting. You have got the perfect voice for a late night radio show.
yes play misty 4 me lol
Very good.
Have just discovered you. In 1975 I studied at art school in south africa, now living and painting in France. I find your style refreshing and gentle.
I cannot tell you how wonderfully helpful your tutorials are. Thank you so much, Stuart, for your generosity.
People like you make me wish I'd be in Britain! I absolutely adore your art and videos!
This the first time I've seen your video and your amazing style of teaching coupled with your very interesting life experiences that create lasting impressions in the mind. I am a beginner, barely 3 months old in my painting journey. But I am far advanced in age, 80. I was surprised that all of a sudden I just wanted to paint. I watch tutorial sessions of as many painters like you, who so unselflessly share their God-given talents. I learned a lot of your cloud making technique. I really have difficulty doing realistic clouds and trees. I appreciate wonderful painters like you who understand and seemingly feel the growing pains of "baby painters". I hope that my hand can dance like a balerina with the brush on a canvass.
Someone told me I should not apologize for the pieces I have done but should own what i have finished. I had taken that advice to heart and I review again and again whatever I have done and I start redoing the crazy, ugly, funny features I placed in what I called my painting. Every piece of work that I do I iken to a child I have given birth to, I honesty search and search for my errors and I want to make it right. I became critical of my work so I could honestly observe my errors to hopefully produce something better and better each day.
Truly I agree with what you said that you tell your students what is wrong and advise them how to do it right. I do not have the privilege of an amazing, excellent coach to guide me. I will continue to watch your videos again and again to get the feel of a teacher beside me. I am from the Philippines. I enjoy the fun and excitement and joy of seeing how I have improved in these 3 months journey. My grandchildren, my children and friends enable and inspire to me to go on and on and practice daily.
I praise God for the creative gift of painting He gave you and I thank you for your generosity. I pray that you would be able to overcome the allergy that suddenly appeared in your body. God bless you abundantly always. I love your style of painting, i love your generosity in sharing, I love your style of tutoring, I love you (as your Mom) with the love of the Lord.
love your words
Bonjour de France, de Bretagne plus précisément. J'aimerais beaucoup voir ce que vous peignez, je suis très curieuse. 🙂 C'est un beau commentaire que le votre. Amicalement, Laurette.
Watching your videos is like yoga for my brain! I love so many things about them. I struggle with the 'artist's eye' where you can see what needs to happen and what to do next. I especially love the freedom with which you paint - "the mess"... It's hard for me to get out of the mindset to make sure I color within the lines thinking. Thank you for your British humor and polite positive demeanor.....and sharing your vulnerability! It's uplifting! I look forward to every video.
Great video. I don't paint myself, but mum does all sorts, including oils. I will show her your channel.
This tutorial is immensely practical and helpful. Thank you!
Love your work. Your mention of teaching just reminded me of sculpture class in my first week at art school when I was 17, the tutor stood for a silent eternity looking at my effort and thinking he was impressed I asked what he thought. He said, "It's the most boring thing I've ever seen" and walked away leaving me very confused and hurt. I was a kid. Perhaps it taught me to explain criticism when I was head of several art departments in my career. You teach so well. I am trying still to loosen up after decades of commercial art. Thank you for your inspiring painting and commentaries.
I have been a photographer for years and I'm in a gallery but, a photograph is not enough to capture what I see. Living by the sea there are such dramatic skies that are unlike any over land. I need to paint and paint I shall. Your style, especially your skies, has been an inspiration to me, to capture what my cameras can not. Thank you.
its been a year. r u a good painter yet:)
I’m feeling ill and am struggling to sleep but watching and listening to your videos is so soothing and helping me doze a bit. 😴
Hi, I am Sopit Todhunter, retired and live in Bedford. What I like the most about your painting is that you create distance. I call million dollar view. I just start to paint and now I have learned how to make the cloud move and distance lake. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely, it enticed me to know more about your work.
A great teacher, relaxed and comfortable and no pretensions. Thank you!
OMG! You are so hilarious when you are talking to your computer. In the best way. That is part of the success of these videos. You are a human!! And a great painter.
Hi Stuart. I just want to respond to your problem with allergies. I used to be severely allergic to cats. Now I have three of them; no problem. The key is to strengthen your immune system. I strengthened mine through two minutes of laughter each day. I laughed as hard as I could. Thirty seconds on, and then thirty seconds rest. I saw results in three weeks.
There are many ways to strengthen your immune system. There is plenty of information on CZcams on how to do that.
Beautiful painting. I paint myself; mostly portraits.
Wow, at last I have found an artist who I so enjoy watching. Love your style Stuart.
Wow, thank you!
This video has everything: skeletons in closets, a landscape, dramatic tricolour skies, and of course great words of wisdom to incorporate into my next follow along attempt.
Thank you Stuart,I have now finished several landscapes using your method. What fun they are to paint.I don't sell my paintings these days but give them away to friends if they like them and several have gone already obviously 77 years old is not to old to learn something new.
Enjoyed this one very much! Both for the ASMR and for the painting itself.
You are such a delight!!! I love your sense of humor and your amazing talent!!
I love your paintings and your comments, thank you!! 💙
The combination of watching you painting, developing it - or does the painting develop itself - and your stories (especially the 'skeleton one') is great.
Stuart Davies+ Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. Love the way you chat as well :). The difference between you and some other artists is that there are those who do not like sharing but indulge in showing off with time lapse and when asked about colours and brushes used they just ignore one; this reflects how insecure they are within themselves. And then... there are artists like yourself who enjoy teaching which shows confidence and generosity of spirit. Thank you Stuart Davies. I am learning so much from your videos.
I can almost smell the rain & hear the distant thunder. Lovely work! I especially like the contrast made with the pink & bluish gray clouds. The scene is so realistic. Isn't it wonderful how simple contrast in lighting & color can create such dramatic displays? I love it! Thank you Mr. Davies.
I'm following since a few month now, many videos I watched twice. I really love them!
So refreshing to hear an English accent. Love the style too! Definitely going to have a go
I used the same attitude when I taught literature and rhetorical composition. It's all about using pizza to teach evaluation writing (imagine 20 students all examining 3 different kinds of pizza to gain data, then analyze the data, and then evaluating the 3 companies from which I had ordered the pizza. They produced amazing analyses in their writing. Fun, learning, and growth all together or Biology majors, math majors, lit majors, all kinds of people. It was wonderful. That's another reason I learn from your videos so well - because you teach as I would, so I learn in the same style. All works.
Your philosophy about teaching and learning is very helpful to me, and the "just do it" is right on, many times I felt that I couldn't start. The lightness of self criticism to just change what isn't working, is so great.
I absolutely love your skies Stuart. I agree 100%. Skies are all about drama👌🏼
Thank you very much Stuart you are amazing you don’t draw you don’t even paint you just play with the colours and reach a fantastic result 👍🏻💐
A great tutorial, thank you. This is a totally different way of painting for me and I am so looking forward to “having a go”.
I have been following you for some time now Stuart and my painting has come on leaps and bounds, in fact i am now teaching beginners in the same style at my local art club. Taking a large canvas and using large decorators brushes forces one to loosen-up and I instantly took to it. Can't thank you enough.
Thank you for all of these you do. I am going back and watching ones that are suggested to me.
The illusion of detail video got me hooked to your style I wanna learn as much as possible, your paintings are amazing. I think this painting is my new favorite.
Fantastic atmosphere as always Stuart, I love watching your free and loose painting style with the large brushes, really expressive and dynamic and with great sensitivity in the brush strokes too. Thanks so much, and for the wry commentary ;-)
That's a real painting and a true art, gentlemen. One of the rare small islands of a true art on the internet where you can escape from all the mediocrity and boredom, and to finally feel safe and complete. Thanks to Stuart.
I love this guys voiceover and painting. Don't ever apologize for being you Stuart your a gem
Was two-thirds of the way through a painting and come to a big block trying to make everything perfect keep looking at the painting and couldn't pick up the brush so started looking at some different tutorials and came across yours and man am I glad I did you don't know how much I needed to hear that it's just a painting, Relax and enjoy it, have fun I could go on and on but I won't bore you, I'll just say thank you thank you very much😎
Can't get enough of watching you paint.....thanks for the wonderful videos!!
Thank you. I love this style. First time and not the last. So beautiful
I do too. Unravel the mysterious adventure in your world of paint on canvas. Loved it. Very pretty colours as well.
You have a very nice way of thinking:) Thank you for the video, it's so helpful to see the actual process of unraveling the colours and shapes and not just the finished product. I'm excited again to make some paintings soon!! Love from the Netherlands!!
Thank you so much for sharing. I love your commentary, and of course, your sublime artwork. You are amazing.
Thank you for uploading this painting Stuart it has been very instructive to watch the landscape emerge and the sky and clouds with rain
Stuart you are amazing ,I can’t watch your painting enough,sky’s are so beautiful so real Love Love them
Thank you so much 😀
I absolutely love your relaxed process.! I can't wait for another.
Thank you, Stuart ... It's always a pleasure to see the process ... the twists and turns ... Again, thanks.
Thank you! This was a very generous tutorial and your stories and comments help to make the video engaging and interesting.
Always makes me smile. Thank you
I just like to watch you painting i am 62 years and just started to paint i was quite good at 12 years old and im just realized i was better then
Love your sense of humor and how you create amazing landscapes! 😊
Stunning! My eye is captivated and drawn into the depth of that landscape especially on the mid section right. Amazing! Thx for sharing!
You have not only driven the stilted feeling out of my landscapes but also made my abstracts so much better. I just love your comforting voice leading the viewer to a much better place and a much more believable vista. Your idea of letting go and enjoying a more relaxed depiction makes so much sense. Like you I am obsessed with a sky that is not too settled, often in flux and usually at dawn or dusk. Possibly my biggest advantage was that nobody realized I was extremely nearsighted until I was 13 so I had the advantage of seeing life in a out of focus view. I was drawing from as soon as I could hold a pencil and have painted for 60+ Years. I was denied an art education but have taken dozens of workshops over the years which gave me an easier time developing my own conglomerate of style. I paint every day and look forward to watching your videos; you tend to relax me and remind me always to paint loosely and with joy....I thank you!
Thanks. Enjoy a lots and saved it. All advices very precious and helpful.
I felt your absence and was delighted to see this new video in my youtube feed. Then I was sad to hear that you'd not been feeling well. Then was glad to know that you are recovering and feeling better! You provide such a lovely, simple yet profound and gentle guidance that is tempered by your keen wit which is all-at-once dry, a bit cheeky, self-deprecating and politely defiant. Simply charming.
I followed the link in your description to check out your mystery novel and will be adding it to my kindle collection. I browsed through some of your reader reviews and was blown away by their eloquence and enthusiasm in praise of your writing style. Congratulations on the auspicious beginnings of what has every indication of evolving into a successful writing career.
You're on a roll, man!
👏👏👏👍😊❤😻👽🎨🛸
I’ve really enjoyed watching your picture develop and it’s helped immensely in how I will tackle my next landscape.
So good to see another painting by you Stuart, thanks!
In the US we say: “he can talk your ear off” You, however have a soothing voice that is a pleasure. And stating the obvious if lovely. ❤️
I was so bored today, couldn't find anything to do or watch. I prayed for this, thank you sir, my boredom is cured. I'm sorry about your food allergies, sounds like a real pain but I'm glad you're okay.
Love that blue in the lower right corner of the sky very nice. Wonderful sky
Mesmerizing truly like magic
I’ve never viewed your painting video’s before and very much like your method. Thank you
Truly magic the way this painting evolves - the dramatic sky, the landscape with the illusion of detail. Very inspiring! Scary about the food allergies, glad you’re ok. Can’t wait until the next video.
I love the "movement" as you say in the sky. I have not been able to achieve this effect, but with your instruction I believe I will be successful. Thank you so much for talking us through this. painting. Your stories are much appreciated.
Lovely! So fun to see you so free and let the painting come alive. Thank you Stuart
I loved being lost in this one Stuart, my approach to landscape mirrors yours in that I just get some paint down and sort it out as I go along. Many thanks for sharing.
Excellent piece of work I just started painting two years ago I've been watching your work on utube for a week now I love the way explain what you are doing during the video thank you
Can't wait to try this style of painting much appreciated
And i have been watching your videos over and over for almost a year now.... this winter i am going to give it a try! No sketching, no detailed plan, and no little brushes
You can do it!
I love the answer.." Because I can, because I want to"..one of my personal reasons to do as much painting as I can..to find freedom from controls that people and society places.. as well within..
You must be really enjoying, and inspired with all the meteorological phenomenons manifesting in our skies in these times!! Im learning oils at this time, dabbling but seriously wanting good work, and ive already learned valuable things and practical things from listening to your tutorials. New sub, too
I’ve been searching for a new challenge. I’ve tried to study other painters and come away discourage. I don’t know if I could get past. Your voice is so soft and gentle. I actually think I could love this medium. Thank you. Even though you are alone, I was with you . I’m 75 yrs old. I’ve conquered sewing, baking, singing, walking, and seven kids. I stud art in College and now I’m going to invest in oils. Thank you so much for sharing this technique with me. If only I can get past ny perfectionist inclinations, and just paint and enjoy it.
How marvelous. You are inspiring to a younger person: 74. Thank you,
I learned art at school from a 'very old' 😉 nun who was super keen on detail. She talked a lot about the Pre-Raphaelites. I used the tiniest of brushes & felt so useless because I was never accurate enough! I have to admit I also used to have very good eyesight & really admired the detail in such paintings.
My eyesight has diminished over the years (I'm now in my 60s) but that has given me a new appreciation & a fresh perspective. My whole view of the world has changed in that I love how our brains can interpret what we see in so many ways & we can create the detail "in our mind's eye"! How many of us look up at clouds & see faces, and rabbits, and dragons!
I definitely need to 'loosen up' & relax more & watching & listening (lovely voice!) to you Stuart has helped me realise I can start that journey today! 🙏 Thank you! ❤🎨❤
Sorry to hear about your food allergies! I've been reading a lot about this topic. Soy is a big no (genetically modified). Corn and wheat is the same if not worse! Nuts, veggies and fruits MUST be eaten organic otherwise the pesticides keep accumulating in your body causing all sorts of inflammations. Try non gluten food, organic quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat. No red meat, just organic chicken, wild salmon, avocado. I've been doing that for 7 months now and it changed a lot for my food intolerance. It's worth trying. Wish you a good health!! All the best from Germany.
People say how do you do that.? u say cause i can .. I'm becoming good from learning art of this kind because of you stuart . The power of heart and mind is not to be afraid nature is not afraid so why should we cause we are nature . Amen all the way from australia.
Enjoy your channel enormously . Love your dry quiet humor, oh, and your paintings are not too shabby either x
Thank you Stuart, enjoyable and informative as usual. You are a great teacher, your wit, genuineness and commentary made a great start to my Sunday here in Australia. I may even take up painting again after 30 years or so.
I love this way of painting - i still worry about detail - I want to paint from my mind and not from a photograph - I will watch all of your videos - thank you.
Love Love the way you paint. I have loved clouds since I was a child. I Love the drama and movement in your paintings. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent!

Thanks for the new painting. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Hope you keep well. I love your paintings. I have found your method to be such FUN! I use acrylics, and find that this method works well for me.
Beautifully done Stuart and a wonderful tutorial.. i am loving the colour's and atmosphere on this.
I truly enjoy your attitude of freedom in your style of painting and the illusion of detail. I'm fascinated that you are painting on prepared plywood and not canvas and your use of very large brushes. Thank you for your time.
As usual it's a pleasure to watch your art works. Thanks.
Mr Davies these videos are great between you and the happy guy I found a great hobby that I'm actually good at and enjoy thank you very much sir
Absolutely magic!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful painting ty for sharing. I enjoyed finding the paintings light source develop over time
I have enjoyed watching you paint very much! You have a real knack for explaining your thoughts about what you are doing on the canvas😀 I do enjoy your “tales” while painting. Not distractive at all. I have just recently found you and I am so glad. I feel like I have learned quite a bit from your lessons💕💕💕 Thank you for sharing your beautiful paintings with us.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for showing how to paint clouds! I am taking a college course and we don’t see anything painted in person. I am struggling to reproduce a photo accurately with wispy clouds and just watching you paint has helped so much. I wish I lived in England so that I could take a class with you!
This is beautiful and mesmerizing. I’m going to try it!
Thank you Stuart,! Once again, a real learning experience for me!!!
I love this painting! Dramatic skys are so beautiful!
SPLENDID LESSON!
Just discovered you and your method and style! What a difference (in a positive way) you are going to make to my painting. I just love your 'chatter' while you work, very refreshing being 'talked to' and 'not at'. Thank you.
