I love this work for its craft. However I miss the art. The artist is a fine craftsman, replicating the mechanical capture of the camera image. A great painting should reflect the artists response to the scene. It should evoke an emotional response. Capture something of a spiritual essence. Michael takes himself out of the equation and mechanically, with great precision and skill recreates a snapshot of the scene. Not trying to be harsh. I love the work and admire his skill
This is one is for RUclips thanks for bringing Mr. Michael James Smith I enjoy his Artwork so much that is one of the Artist so Humble and very kind to His viewers.Thank You So Much RUclips .
@@amlam9812 There can be a quality in painting that can't be seen in a printed picture. A printed picture is completely flat, but the paint in a picture can be applied opaquely. That can make it appear more 3 dimensional. Even if a painting is done in thin layers, the effect of light shining through every layer can make a picture seem to glow. Almost as if the light is coming from underneath.
I can't stop staring at this, can't stop replaying video, can't quit respecting the organization, color choices, careful sketching, camera setups, hours of taping that included brush dipping, tube squirts, breaks, tedious stroke after stroke, then the editing of tons of footage in several units: sneak peeks, 21 section lessons, RUclips video eliminating every tidbit not pertaining to brush strokes, figuring out the speed needed (creating the ghostly see thru hand) then music... Yet patient Mikey accomplished insurmountable task none of us would even lose sleep over. And there tis, powerful movement of water and currents captured perfectly. I revere the whole process. A process l used to have but allowed to slip away, am ashamed. Mikey refreshed my energy. Am gonna go grab my younger self and revel in it. Appreciate you in all ways Mikey. ♥️from🤠
Every time you add a new texture to something I think to myself "doesn't look that realistic", but all of a sudden it just pops like an optical illusion and I can't unsee it. Your skills are simply amazing
I have never missed any of these videos. They are so beautiful and inspiring... Especially the techniques on trees, they look absolutely real everytime
Probably my favorite painting of yours ever. Astonishingly beautiful. Had you not absolutely nailed the values, the painting would fall apart. Impressive work, my friend. Thank you so much for documenting the journey and sharing it with us.
WOW. Absolutely stunning. I always wondered how artists got that curve into water passing over things, and that transparency water gives. Its all about layering and brush strokes. This is 'proper art' if this was in a gallery this is what I would yearn to buy to put in my home.
I find comments like that to be completely insulting to the artist or the athlete or whatever person who has done an incredible amount of practice and hard work to get where they are. No imaginary man in the sky just decided to make this guy an incredibly skilled painter, he WORKED at it.
@@jefffawcett Yep , if ‘god’ just gave you abilities, no one needs to learn or be passionate about what they do. Craftsmanship is what we achieved and not what we are born with.
This kind of art works make me feel like im one with the nature... Watching him do this is even more awesome. Such a wonderful feeling of peace and calmness. Thank you and more power to your program... Your works and your videos doing this masterpieces are here to relieve me from stress. I love nature and just wander into it. Now you took me closer to it like just looking out the window. 😍😃
Michael Smith's blocking-in phase (1st pass) almost looks like a complete painting. Comparatively, mine always look like a 5yr old just finished finger painting... only worse. Lol I have SO much to learn from Michael. It seems daunting, but his works are SO inspirational, it keeps me coming back for more. GREAT videos!
I know how you feel. I haven't been able to start painting from his lessons yet, even though I am enrolled to take them, I have to clean out a part of the house but because of covid we can not do that yet. But I know that when I start I truly do believe that my first attempts will look like a three or four year olds paintings. But I too watch him and dream about the day that I can at least give it a try.
That block in makes all the difference! It is the foundation of the whole thing, and he knows just how to do it. Not as easy as it looks, I agree with you!
It 's amazing the skills he has to make such a realistic painting , I am amazed at how much patience and determination he has , I think it is so cool !
This is insanely perfect!! I thought it was an actual photograph. But its even better to see the ruch detail that goes into the painting. I appreciate this so much!
"Oh my God" What a painting, God has created this univers, nature everything but, you James Sir God has created you specially for these excellent paintings what you are creating. 🙏🙏🙏
This was an extraordinary piece MJS! Considering all the variations of color from the sunlit to shadowed portions, and the different shades beneath the water. I know that you had to make some next level, precise choices to get this result. 5 star composition! Ty so much
Humbly we bow to the Master of the Not Of This World Skills! Man!! That was SO beautiful to watch! I could feel that cold running water! I could smell those trees! Amazing!!! Thank you!
I'm still shocked....like is it even real or I'm dreaming???👀 It feels as if I could even step into the picture and can even pick a handful of water to drink....It looks so real!!!!! Amazing talent...!!!👏
Its amazing to see how beautifully the painting comes out after so much time and patience by the artist . Before the advent of color printers only painters were there to do it. Just imagine the kings and nobles how thry got their painting done in the old times.
I really love all your videos. James, you’re the best artist in the world. I always have a lot of happiness every time I watch your videos. Thank you much!
Yeah I agree I really dislike when people describe it as talent, it's as if they're disregarding the sheer amount of effort and time any sort of artist put onto their work Or ignoring the fact that these people spent years practicing and refining a skill They're most likely not thinking that way though, but it feels like that is the implication.
I beg to disagree...skill can be acquired but talent is an inborn gift... actually there are some artists who doesn't even experience different workshops or degree in arts but yet they still manage to create beautiful masterpiece unlike others who trained for years. that, for me is the real TALENT......
No words to say how beautiful this painting is and to admire your talent. Wooooow, it's superb.

its astonishing how so many simple strokes of the brush come together to make such a photo-realistic painting. Im gobsmacked.
The amount of detail with that little brush to bring that water and flora to life is mind blowing. Excellent work as always!
The principle of Harmony is so clear...the bases and the brush play the role of the beautiful picture...ilove the hands of the creator...
Talent that is off the charts. And I'll bet you've worked for decades doing it justice, too. Maestro.

Almost episode 200, and you’ve never failed to amaze me!
Astonishing! I have never seen a painter like you. Unbelievable 💚👍🏻🇮🇪👏👏👏
This piece is so alive. There's movement and texture. How real and beautiful. I loved watching this. ❤
what we don't realize is how much time he has spent to get the right color; this looks so much like a picture that it looks less like a painting
😭👌🏻
I agree👍 loads of patience and Practice

MJS portrayal of water is always amazing, but this time it's even more amazing.
ほんとに、自分の理想とする風景表現です。なんとか技術を盗みたいと試行錯誤してますが、ぜんぜん届きません。
しかも、この手数で描いているから…驚愕です。
Probably my favorite painting of yours ever. Astonishingly beautiful. Had you not absolutely nailed the values, the painting would fall apart. Impressive work, my friend. Thank you so much for documenting the journey and sharing it with us.
It's just magical to see when he starts adding detail how the painting transforms into a high definition photo one section at a time
That is what we call a realistic painting. Indeed you are so professional artiest. Watching you painting is really relaxing.
Unbelievable! Absolutely stunning, you have depicted real movement and intricate detail. Wow
You're on another level my friend!
He is the king of landscape art
Almost like Bob Ross.
I literally had my mouth open half of the video wondering how you did it .. Theres no words i know to express my feeling about this painting.. 🌹
it is so natural and feels like life i really like it and very soothing
ruclips.net/video/rnFrUAqa0gg/видео.html
Wow...watched all your videos multiple times and just when I thought I had seen it all, you do this... amazing. Next level.

This was so relaxing to watch. Wish I could paint like that
ruclips.net/video/xinbXdZN1ZM/видео.html
Me too!
It will take 10000 hours to be able to paint like that.
Wow,,, I figured, so beautiful
It probably takes more than 10000 at least for me it would take 20 years before coming even close
What a gifted artist! The Lord has blessed you with a very powerful talent.
God bless you. Thank you for sharing your masterpieces with us.
OMG It is looking like a real picture captured from camera😢💖🔥
Surely this can only be God given talent. The beaty is simply breath taking. I applaude you
I was thinking the same thing....this guy must be inspired by God himself.....it's like watching God during creation.

what's most amazing is how he paints the hand and brush into the canvas, then paints it out, then paints it in again so fast and repeatedly!

Your way to paint the details is so wonderfull.
The best to hold a paint 🎨 brush MJS 🥇
Maybe my alltime favorite painting of yours. So well done.
Thank you so much 😀
Your painting has life like through tree. You encourage me again to start painting. thank you.
You can do it!
