I have to agree...the world is so full of enough negativity and doesn’t need any more. It doesn’t cost anything to be kind and build one another up with positive encouragement. I love watching you paint. I learn so much. Honestly I find your voice, especially your accent to be so relaxing and enjoyable to listen to. This painting is looking amazing! I really can’t wait to see part 2. It’s almost 4 in the morning here and I’ve been awake since midnight watching your videos fighting against the urge to paint because I can’t see straight right now lol and the level of pain that’s keeping me awake tonight or in this case this morning lol. One thing is true, once I get my pain down I will be at my easel, painting again 😁 Thank you for your videos and being a kind and sharing person. I appreciate you
You are, I dare say, the king of Colourmixing !. I guess each painter has favourite colours but thanks your tutorials you convinced me to add « cramoisi « and phtalo blue on my palett. Fantastic ! tkank you so much for your lessons, advice and lovely irish accent
A very good idea to wet the canvas with that mix of turps and linseed oil as a basis of the painting! Some Americans using the so called Magic White or similar for the same reason. I love your colours.
Stephen this is absolutely gorgeous! I love the sky, so full of vibrancy, colour, and energy! I know this is going to be a masterpiece and I can hardly wait for part two. Before I forget, I want to thank you for sending me the stubby brushes. I do like these little stubby brushes and I certainly recommend them to all your followers. I used them for the first time on my last painting and I feel they gave me more control.
Hi Stephen that is a really beautiful sky I think this painting is going to turn out fantastic I hope you have one of your frames ready. Cant wait for part two !!!!!.
I hgave done a little bit of oil painting, not too great at it at the moment, but i haave learned alot just by watching you, especially with this tutorial! Living in the far North of Scotland we have some spectacular sunsets so i will try some of the techniques you have shown here.
All art is in the eye of the beholder...so basically there is no bad art. I have been painting for 40+yrs, and not every painting of mine gets my approval😂..
You often refer to not wanting green in your skies. I wonder why because in Scotland there is quite often green in the skies as it’s getting towards dusk and looks very nice.
I got to say I love your set up showing the picture and your pallet genius way to teach would like to someday paint my own pictures I take But I have trouble with color mixing and tone variations from beginning to end
11:30 You are describing the age old principle of 'Fat over Lean', your first coats are 'Lean'. Thank you for the Tutorial I found it 'inspiring'. I still find a white canvas at the start of a painting 'intimidating' and have real trouble 'getting started' :-)
Thank you my friend.. its a real pleasure.. white canvases can be intimidating alright.. how about putting a very light tint over it first. Like a thin sienna perhaps or Naples yellow..
Very 'detailed' explanations and a great tutorial, however, for 'visual learners' and those with 'less time'... Jump to 8:30, this is the first time paint is actually applied onto the canvas :-)
I'm a really good artist (over 20 years) but it was all on paper and now digital.. but I have recently had offers from galleries and individuals for my colour expressionist stuff as large oils. The thing is I know hardly anything about oils :) so, youtube hehe! I enjoyed this and it seems straightforward. But I fear ill make a bunch of rooky mistakes right? I'm having a hard time even knowing what paints etc to get...
Yes it can be tricky with oils. It takes a lot of practice but you will get there. Not to worry.. check out my tutorials. You will find lots there to keep you busy..thank you for watching.
Hi Stephen, ich habe ein ähnliches Sonnenuntergang-Foto von der Maas in Venlo, (Niederlande) und werde es nach deiner Methode malen. Danke für die wertvollen Tipps. Ich ein Fan von dir aus Deutschland und wohne in Krefeld am Niederrhein, nicht weit von der niederländischen Grenze
I like how you show the picture you're going by.

Thank you Micheal....it is tricky but try to keep it simple...picking the right subject is also very important...

This is definitely my next one! You sure do keep them coming and I for one appreciate it. When can we expect step 2? I will be anxiously waiting 😂
Thank you very much. 😃😃😃
I am an acrylic painter. Can I use the same blending methods with a little retarder? Very beautiful so far. Thank you for your very positive thoughts.
