    This will forever change the way I paint night scenes. I always keep the sky in my paintings dark, and most of the time by doing so I end up with a painting that looks dull, despite my attempts to put emphasis on the glow coming from artificial lights. I never thought that a sky that does not look too dark would be so effective. Thank you again for the wonderful tutorial, Mr. Gurney.

    • @tsundor1

      it's brilliant how it reads as late in the day simply because the building appears to be in shade and not because of the color of the sky. gonna have to keep this in mind as well :)

    James, it is a blessing to see you paint. Your technique reminds me a lot of Magritte's Empire of Light series which juxtaposes the nature of daylight and night time and how articifial lighting has changed our perception of time. Especially up to the point before you painted the sky it looked like an illusion of night at daytime. I really enjoyed your video and I learned something new about scattered light (you are a master of explaining contrast). Thanks a lot! Enjoy your journey throughout Ireland!

    On the subject of travelling with art materials, what I do is trying to bring most of my paint in pans so it counts as solid. The few tubes I bring I place them in a plastic bag right before security and I show them in advance what it is. I never had a problem.

    I understand all the questions they ask Mr Gurney but it just comes down to the 1000s of paintungs, hours, and professional experience that he has and why he makes it look so easy. The best advice Mr Gurney said was, just go out and paint and match what you see. Its an absolute dream to have this master here and teaching his incredible gift, can you imagine if all the masters did this..Thank you James for sharing your gift you're a beast❤❤

  • @carahindes4341
    @carahindes4341 Год назад +6

    I love the way James engages with people while painting out and about!
    Something about the way he asks random passers by what they think just communicates a healthy attitude towards critique: having an interest in the way others perceive the artwork while at the same time holding to his own artistic vision, regardless of external opinions. I think it can be a difficult balance to achieve for creators - the delicate desire to bring to life something that exists only in your own mind versus the desire to have other people respond positively to it. Too much emphasis on the former and it comes off as snobbery, too much on the latter and your art starts to feel more like advertising, changing with the ebb and flow of whatever's popular.
    He's such a great role model in that regard I think: knowing his own mind while at the same time encouraging others to do the same.

    Hi James, I’ve been binge watching your videos and I love them. I have always been a hyper realistic artist only drawing in pencil and charcoal. I only drew in art school because it was my strength and it’s what gave me the best grade. Since leaving art school and “perfecting” my hyperrealism I’ve become bored. Of course drawing a 10 hour hyperrealistic piece is challenging but I’m not learning anything from it. Also my artwork is all grey scale and isn’t as exciting as I would like it to be. I’ve been picking up my watercolours I bought a couple years ago and I’ve been trying my best to create good work. I painted a piece a few months ago and it was oversaturated because I don’t understand colour tone and how to build up a painting. A few days ago I started a new painting, the difference was I used tips I had learnt from your videos. I started a base like you do and I built it up with colours and I didn’t over work it. I added my highlights and dark pen at the end and even used coloured pencils to add texture and tone. I am so pleased with how it came out. I just want to thank you. I’ve had multiple teachers try to teach me how to paint and I would always hate the process or hate the end result putting me off painting. You have actually taught me and I’ve found a new love. Once again thank you! You’re an amazing teacher. My New Years resolution is to paint more often and try urban sketching 😁

    As an Artist that is new to Watercolor I heard you say that you were very aware of how wet the mixture is... and I was surprised that it looked like the mixtures looked like they had very little water, not dry brushing, but not running away from the mixing area. Like you had a wet brush, but able to lift the color without pooling it I guess. Also gouache looks like a lot of fun. Maybe cause I'm an acrylic artist. Thank you. 🥰
