    James Gurney are you familiar to the dutch painter Rien Poortvliet?

    • @JamesGurney
      @JamesGurney  7 лет назад +45

      Yes, I love his work and have most of his book (the ones in English, anyway).

    I love the way you find beauty in everyday things that most take for granted. BTW your Color and Light book is great read and reference. I found it very instructional and useful as a photographer even though the book is aimed at painting. :) Thanks for sharing your artistry through these great videos.

    You explained to me the concept of measuring with a pencil with a few simple words, amazing.

    What an excellent composition. You make detail so easy. Sometimes it’s the most basic things that make the difference. And I am impressed with your printing on such a small sign! Ha. Beautiful work.

    Thank you for the video which is loaded with tips. I really enjoyed the initial wet wash that gave you time to add the darker background that looked like a watercolor wash. Then at the end all the adjustments you made for the light and dark, and the chalk to add a little haze. Essie

You've got me all excited about plein-air painting and gouche. Appreciate the tips about using pencils, chalk and gel pens. Question: How do you seal your art when finished?

    WOW! I always spend a lot of time on the pencil phase but I rarely get it to overlap so perfectly with a photo of the reality like this one. That's incredible! I guess I need to keep drawing/painting for a few more decades :-) Can you please remind us how long that took? 3 hours? I have to say, your gouache videos have gotten me seriously into gouache and it is my favourite these days: I love how it feels under the brush when you apply it (unlike acrylic) and the mat finish is beautiful.

    • @JamesGurney
      @JamesGurney  7 лет назад +2

      Thanks! The drawing took about 40 minutes, and the painting about two hours more. So I guess it was about 3 hours.

    I’ve been very inspired by art you make and the depth you put in them, have any tips on making depth and dimension in paint? And also I’ve been struggling to get light or lighting onto objects like houses or trees and it frustrates me sometimes but I do get through of what I’m painting and sometimes I like what I create afterwards.
