I had a wonderful art teacher in high school. He was a bit weird but I learned so much from him. He enter two of my junior year pieces in the state exhibitions. One took 2nd prize and the the other took 1st. Because I was in school and they were entered in a state contest, they became property of the state when I won. I did get the trophy and the ribbons. The one thing I still use to this day, I graduated before the normal age in 1967, is he told me when I was not sure of the color or balance of a painting, drawing or whatever I was working on to turn it upside down. Stand back and look at it and you will see immediately what is not correct or out of sorts. It also gives you proportions on objects. That is such a priceless wonderful tool that I have used for 55 years. Just a suggestion because I know you are the teacher but it is a tool that always worked for me. I had that teacher for 3 years and every time I paint a painting or draw a picture I turn it upside down to check it and hear him telling me, "you can now see your mistakes or victories." I could not afford to go to art school so I have always been more than appreciative of those who took the time to teach me some of what they knew. You are now one of those respected people. Thank you again.
I absolutely love this man. He has a dry humor and simple but oh so helpful sense. His is charming and I love his work. He has given me so much help. Keep up this great help and work. I’d
Дорогой Стюарт! Ваши потрясающие пейзажи трогают меня до глубины души! За 20 минут ваша картина пережила несколько характеров! Это невероятно! Какое счастье видеть ваше творение! Каждая ваша картина это шедевр!❤
I want to Thank you. I have been an artist all of my life, I am 53 now and watching your videos has helped me more than any teacher or books. I place high value on your advice and watching you paint is like being in the presence of the old masters. Your instruction is priceless and should be sought out by all artists nomater how good they think that they are. Thank you my friend.
I love that 'turn your mistake into something worth looking at' that is a wonderful lesson. I am so binging on your video's at the moment as so inspiring thank you.
I am totally mesmerised watching your painting come to life with your expert use of decorator's brushes and kitchen towels. I'm not a landscape lover at all, but you have inspired me to do some. Thank you Stuart. Looking forward to your next video.
When you are putting on the glaze, it gives a more brilliant colour to the painting. One cannot get that when painting with acrylics. So I am seriously thinking of going into oils soon. Thank you for posting. Enjoyed watching you paint. Thank you again.
I started in oils, way back when (before acrylics was ever even thought of!) - then in college tried acrylics when they first came out - then to watercolor, which was my favorite for years and years - then to acrylics for several years now - but I too am going to start doing some oils again. There are just some things you can do with oils that no other mediums accommodate! Happy painting!
If I could have just heard what you just said 38 years ago that you paint it with just your memory. I should have not wasted my parent's money on studying in University (Fine Arts). Haha. God has blessed you with such a beautiful gift! Thanks for making this video!
I don't use paint thinners or turpentine either. I don't use acrylic as well never cared for it. Besides oil holds it value unlike acrylic.And oil paintings. last for many many years Oil is my medium.and always will.love your style.you are down to earth and and don't try to flashy like some of these other you tube artists and much more talented.
Mr. Davies, thank you for sharing your wisdom, knowledge and it's an absolute pleasure. I had searched long and hard for instruction and you sir, are an amazing mentor.
Thank you so much for doing such informative videos! I not only learned about painting, composition, etc. - but I've learned (finally) how to use RUclips so I can follow and get notifications from my favorite artists.
“Very Interesting to hear you teach and work;because most viewers like myself for the first time watching get more out of their time ,meaning there are not many questions left to ask. It sounds like your one of the master painters.
Oh, finally. Thank you so very much. I don’t care what it’s called, intuitive, spontaneous...whatever. I’m tossing all those tedious classes (and instructors) out the window and going with the moment . I adore making a mess! Carry on, maestro.
I’m brand new to oil painting and think of glazing as applying a filter similar to photo editing options on Instagram. Sometimes you don’t want a glaze. Sometimes you do and it really adds so much to the original. Like fine tuning. Another great video full of encouragement thank you!
Sooooo relaxing watching, listening & learning. I didn't think the painting could look any better really until you started glazing. Takes it to another level. I've said it before and I'll say it again, truly inspiring.
It never ceases to amaze me how differently artist paint. Everyone has their own techniques and tips that produce masterpieces. I have learned so much from this tutorial. Things I didn't know were acceptable practices in art. It's helping me to understand the importance of loosening up with my own techniques. Thank you!
Breath taking scene! I wish I could make my landscapes tell a story like yours does. Your style is fascinating as well, and you convey a sense of kindness and wisdom that can bring light to a dark day.
Your carefree painting over the dry layer is motivational. At first, it made me gasp. Lol you inspire me to be more loose and realize I cannot 'break' my painting. I am going to chuck the paint on today!
That was amazing. I haven’t seen glazing demonstrated this well before. Was helpful to watch how you turned what looked like a mess into so,etching that worked
Thanks for telling us about your video editing program. I played with the free version for an hour or so and bought the full version. Easier to use than three others I've tried. Excellent manual and tutorials.
Never saw this technique before this painting. Love it and will try it. I love all mediums. This is a new one for the oils. I am mostly self taught but even with that you can still tell what it is when I finish. Must not be too bad because I can never keep my pieces in the house. People always walk off with them. Thank you for sharing. I truly appreciate it.
So few instructors say a lot about how to go about glazing & seem to be reluctant to really explain the what & why of it, never mind the how. Thank you for the explanation about wiping out and why and how multiple layers could or should, depending on how you feel about, be done in multiple colors. I used your glazing technique to go over a painting with a boat that was in a fog, to my great advantage....it worked so well! I wish my memory was as good as yours, I tend to need reference material, to my great consternation. I appreciate your instruction so much, your explanations are wonderful to follow. I have learned to be more realistic by being less organized, what a wonder! By being less super realistic I have become a much better painter.
An amazing tutorial. I thought what you showed and said was a ton of expertise passed on to a hungary artist seeking to improve her skills, and this lesson was superb! Thank you for sharing it.
I just love your videos being very instructive and a lot of humour and the feeling of being in the studio with you! Thank you so much Stuart for this glazing lesson sensational!
Thanks so much for another very informative lesson. I can’t wait to try this...your style is quite mesmerizing. So enjoyable to immerse myself into your videos. Very helpful to me to be told to relax and to walk away after 20 minutes and then return. I’ve never heard that before. You’re a wonderful teacher. Keep them coming!
Great video as always, Stuart! Re: warping, my college art instructor suggested we first coat the back of the board with gesso. That way, it greatly reduced the chance of warping. It offsets the curl that would normally occur without doing this first. Just a suggestion. It does work. I've done it many times. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills. BTW, your skies are amazing!!!
Glazing! Thank you for this information! and sharing your techniques. I'm a Montana girl and I can't stop painting landscapes. You have really helped me go beyond! I will keep watching and learning.
You’re so funny! You apologize for teaching something new and important. I learn something I need to know every time I watch your videos and you are very entertaining. So glad I found you!
‘Better access to stored memory’ well that explains a lot as I’ve always tensed up a lot especially in exam situations. But with my paintings I do relax once I get into it.
I have learned so much from your videos, taking away the mystery of glazing in such an easy going manner is a wonderful help and explains it in a controlled manner that makes sense.
Hi Stuart - great instructive video. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned - the standard way of reducing warpage on thin boards is to paint both sides - obviously the back can be coated with cheap paint rather than gesso. Cheers Terry
I have learned much from you…far beyond the obvious intents. I paint the beauty that most think of as dreary. Tree stumps , late November woods. 16” x 20” mostly. It is my medicine.
Thank you so much for this enjoyable and informative video! I am mainly an en plein air watercolor painter, and want to get back into oils. This has helped I believe!
Stuart has the best mental attitude to paint with. The few moments I've had where I was happy with my painting was when I didn't even care about it. Instead I was actually just enjoying myself and the fun of painting.
Thank you Mr Davies! You got me started on a new adventure, I always wanted to paint, never knew how to go about it. Now you showed me the way and changed my life! Hope to come to France in the future, you are a wonderful teacher
I found your videos a couple of days ago and immediately I subscribed. You have an amazing talent. I am far away from your paintting skills, just beginner. The most important lesson I have learned from you is not to afraid to try. Such an important lesson. Its so relaxing to look how do manage the colors and handle the brushes. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and skills with us!!!
Bravo! Your paintings are extraordinarily beautiful and harmonious. Thank you so much for this amazing and educational video on oil painting techniques and demonstration of how you paint landscapes with magnificent. ❤❤❤❤❤xxxx
This became a way of fixing things for me without knowing anything but correcting my mistakes! I could not paint without doing this and not bragging but my paintings do sell.
I TRIED USING YOUR TECHNIQUE TOMAKE A MISTY HAZE ON ONE OF MY PAINTINGS THAT BROUGHT IT TO LIFE INA WAY I COULD NOT GET USING REGULAR PAINTING TECHNIQUES...THANK YOU..
I have never posted a comment on any of the painting video I have viewed, until today. I am a big fan of Bob Ross wet on wet technique and started to paint because of him. Bob Ross style made painting easy and it brought out the artist that was inside of me. I have painted many pictures of landscape and some seascape scenes that was in my head and I am very pleased with the finished paintings I have done. Your style of painting takes me to another level. I am so impressed at what you do and how easy it looks. I have just washed your oil painting gazing made easy, (my second viewed video of your work) and it does look easy. This week I will take a look at some of my older painting and see if I can apply your technique to get that wow effect that I get when I see your painting. I want to thank you for posting your videos and look forward to watching more of your videos to improve on what I am doing.
WHAT GREAT PAINTINGS. I ALMOST FAINTED WHEN YOU SLAPPED THAT MUCH RED ON THE FIRST PAINTING, BUT IT TURNED OUT SO BEAUTIFUL AND LUMINOUS. BRAVO!!!

I love the phrase “ think about painting as visual poetry” and a lovely way of glazing.
great demo Stuart, and the "hanging out with you" atmosphere is fantastic, too.
I was about to give up on finding a good glazing technique and I finally found you! This video is Gold. Thank you for sharing your expertise.❤
I absolutely love this man. He has a dry humor and simple but oh so helpful sense. His is charming and I love his work. He has given me so much help. Keep up this great help and work.

Great blue for the sky. I wouldn't have believed how good it could look when you first applied the paint.
Amazing!!!! I’ve been painting for just over 3yrs… at last!! So glad I found you…
Mr. Davies, thank you for sharing your wisdom, knowledge and it's an absolute pleasure. I had searched long and hard for instruction and you sir, are an amazing mentor.
This is absolutely mind blowing use of glazing! I feel challenged and enabled to try a different level! Thank you !!!

really enjoy this video, always great tips, this painting is stunning. Your voice is so relaxing and I think we all love your humour!
Warm and dramatic result. Like the size of board. Thank u very much
Sooooo relaxing watching, listening & learning. I didn't think the painting could look any better really until you started glazing. Takes it to another level. I've said it before and I'll say it again, truly inspiring.
Thank you so much for your generosity!
That's not anything like I thought glazing was! Thank you for these wonderful lessons!!!
Easily my favorite painter on RUclips already.
I’ve been studying you for 11minths now. I like what your doing these days.
It never ceases to amaze me how differently artist paint. Everyone has their own techniques and tips that produce masterpieces. I have learned so much from this tutorial.

Great, what I like about your demo is your comments and humour, just love it.
It's been a great day watching you paint today all day I love your technique
Thank you, Stuart, for demonstrating. I will try glazing in the future. I need to learn to relax.
Your carefree painting over the dry layer is motivational. At first, it made me gasp. Lol you inspire me to be more loose and realize I cannot 'break' my painting. I am going to chuck the paint on today!
Love your glazing and paint over techniques and use of paper towel and q-tips to liven your painting.
Shocked me silly when you put that glaze on, absolutely love it ! I will be more daring in the future
That was amazing. I haven’t seen glazing demonstrated this well before. Was helpful to watch how you turned what looked like a mess into so,etching that worked
Thanks for telling us about your video editing program. I played with the free version for an hour or so and bought the full version. Easier to use than three others I've tried. Excellent manual and tutorials.

Beautiful landscape. Like Constable meets Turner. I can't wait to try glazing!
That sky sings! Loveky. Thanks for sharing your talents

So beautiful. I like the term glazing-reminds me of glazing on food. ☺️
