  • Put on your headphones for an immersive audio experience with an #ASMR vibe. I paint a winter scene outside my window as my family prepares and eats breakfast nearby.

    James, such impeccable timing! I'm a student who lives on her own away from her parents, but normally i come home in the weekend to spend time with them. However my mother got COVID and i couldn't come home. It felt really lonely spending so much time alone cooped up in my student room when I'm normally used to the conversations and background noise from my siblings and parents. Putting this video on, even though we speak different languages, made me feel like I was a little bit at home again. So thank you!

    I feel like I’m in your kitchen, smelling coffee, watching the wildlife out the window. Another wonderful painting, James. The way you filmed this, however, was the best part. No step-by-step narration did NOT disappoint me this time. Instead I need to get out of bed and start breakfast. My stomach is calling for food!
    Thank you for an amazing start to my day!

    Two big things I appreciated: 1) that side-by-side edit of the observed scene and the captured depiction next to it, showing decisions. And 2) including the setting in which this was done- a great reminder there's no one "perfect" place to get work done.
    Wonderful stuff!

  • @katesmith5010
    @katesmith5010 Před 2 lety +6

    Many/most of your sketchbook videos show your wrist watch so we can see how long you worked on the painting... sometimes while Jeanette bought groceries. I appreciate a real-time video...i imagine the video inserts of coffee pouring, orange peeling, and toast/bagel buttering are times you are letting the gouache dry between applications. Thank you for showing us your patience.

    I love this Binaural audio experiment :)! There are some really interesting options to capture the atmosphere, like microphone heads to in ear microphones that would include the outer ear so you truly get to hear what the recorder is hearing.
    that being said, these are impressive results! (Painting/and audio wise)

    Thanks for inviting us into your kitchen, James. It was great that included shots of mixing on your palette and can see how much water (or how little) you sometimes use. Also good to see how you softened edges when doing the little snow puffs. I will recommend this video to my painting students!

    Mr.Gurney I’ve read your art blog for years, ever since I was a teenager. I loved the blog, but I confess I never managed to watch a video all the way through (bad attention span for videos on my part, not you). This Video was the exception. I loved all the gentle background noise and ambient sounds, it was just enough distraction to hold my squirrel brain that I could concentrate on the painting, just like painting in real life. (I used to love working in cafes before the pandemic). It was a pleasure to watch you paint in real time. I watched it all the way through. Thank you for all your hard work and innovations.

    2. OMG your wife is so cheerful and upbeat, i usually saw her paint in some of your videos and thought that she was really introverted and quiet and even after so many years of painting together she still comes to you and asks you what are you painting, thats just something that our generation never does, they consider it work and no body talks about work.
    3. you are really uping your game not only in audio but video too, including shots from the outside, from the coffee maker, wow. looks like you want to join the million followers club LOL (although you deserve to have 10 mil)
    4. although the sounds of various activities in the house were distracting but once I understood that they there to convey the mood of breakfast, it all made sense.
