THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Great work! Thank you for sharing the details about paintings, and giving information about the brushes and paints as the same time as well.
I've started using some of your techniques in my paintings and I love it! I honestly can't tell you how much of a help it has been. I check this site almost every day. Please keep it up!
Michael, I haven't heard from you for awhile.. remember, I am your number one fan. Iam a little down about it. You are the Mozart of the art world, so old friend don't forget me or I will haunt you forever,. Fran p.s. No more drinks until I hear from you
Thanks for posting this series' of videos'!Doing a lot of trees',like this,takes' a lot of time.Glad to hear that a pro gets' tired of doing a group like this.Ha!Thanks so much for the insightful videos'!🥂
wonderful info Mike, you have improved my painting no end. i could listen to you all day!!
So beautiful! Thank you so much for these, they are so helpful. You are an amazing teacher.
it's better than photograph, superb, well done!
Thank you so much Micheal for giving us detailed instruction! I'm having so much fun trying these techniques... I really appreciate your constant updates here...
Excelente maestro, que bueno que estos magníficos tutoriales pudieran ser traducidos para los que hablamos el Español, son estupendos, felicitaciones.
I had to come back and watch this again after watching #81. It almost looks like you glazed the entire hillside with a pale blue/white, chalky glaze between videos to push the hillside back, but I see that isn't the case at all.
I see, now, that you started with a paler-than-usual underpainting to create the effect (quite splendidly, I might add). Did you simply add white to your darks on the hilside? And do you pale the background highlights with white or by greying them (or both)?
Thank you so much for teaching us how to paint in a bigger panel, showing us the brushes and technique, I was waiting for this one! I'm looking forward to see the complete painting technique in the different sections of the painting, please film all of it.
Thanks, Michael, great tutorial, very well explained, congratulations on your channel.
Как-то все очень идеально, как после сотворения мира. А где буреломы, где пожухлая трава? Где сухой камыш и опавшие ветки? Где старые деревья?
Технически, работы идеальные конечно, но нет в них правды и естества. Все прилизано как-то!
Но все равно - Спасибо за Ваш труд!
Thank you Michael .. God bless you.. really thank you
Damn it man! Someone should invent a canopy brush like a stippling brush that will give you a nice real look with one stab on the canvas. Lol lol lol. Reason being!!
I have to hold my breath to use this method and o get dizzy from not breathing enough. Lol lol lol
It's a toss up. I either breath and dont detail ! Or detail and keep getting up off the floor. Lol lol lol.
Just joking!! But I do realize I'm holding my breath to do this.
Thanks Michael for the lessons. Great job as always. Your way of painting is truly spectacular.
Excellent job, that man. :-) It's good to see this technique. I don't know if you've tried to respond to one of my comments in the past and have failed, it was my settings that caused this. It's been sorted now, so if you want to tell me to 'bog off' please do so. :-)
than you for explaining the brushes you are using and your tutorials. You are a great teacher... thank you sooo much.
To everyone peopel who ca'nt speak english Pls stopp writting stupit commments!!!!....
As usual...very informative and beautiful.
Por favor señor Smith seria tan amable si pudiera poner traducion en español para sus videos de pinturahabria mucha gente que pondria mucho mas interes en su trabajo somos millones de persobas que no hablamis ingles y disculpe mi atravimiento Dios le bendiga
My favorite artist to try and emulate,can’t come close but I enjoy his technique.
Wonderful artist. I need brushes like u using.can u help how we will purchase
You do beautiful work it's just so much you got to learn I'm confused about the good work
thanks for giving the unique techniques for hill and bushes I am eager to know more information about your experiences of paintings
Great!!; i´ll be waiting for the next part ! :)
Hi sir g..!!!
Sir send me this video start part no 77.
Thanks sir G..!!!
Michael, I just felt compelled to let you know how much I’ve gained from your lessons. Ive had a few lessons before and I’ve been a practicing artist for years. However when it came to painting I often got unstuck not realising the important of working from dark to light to achieve contrast. Seems so obvious now but how much I appreciate this understanding from years of frustration. Also I like your relaxed down earth approach. Thanks so much
How long do you normally paint over one painting ?
Sorry for my english .
I know you use water colors. Is there a particular brand brand you prefer? What I'm using the colors don't seem as rich.
Michael James Smith oops. I thought it was water colors then oil. I love your work. Now I need you patience.
Gostaria muito que você tivesse um tradutor em português 😊
Beautiful work ,, how you drying your work so quick??
Hi Michael, I always wondered how the very distant trees were done. This video is great as you showed us how it is done. I have been blocking in with acrylic for a long time but when it came to the oil detail, such as your trees, I was having lots of problems. I also cut a brush to form the "V" as you showed. Works great!! I have learned so much from your videos and look forward to them every week. I am 70 years young and started painting in my mid 50's. I stumbled upon it (a very long story) and wished I had done so in my youth!! BUT....I am loving it and paint every day now...not a bad retirement!!! THANK YOU for your generosity of sharing your MASTER knowledge.
Que Artista ! super realista con pinturas ,si queres ve vistazo mi canal tambien dibujo
I think that this technique is a good way for" an artist in training" (me) to get the look and feel of each canopy and from there get better results with the rigger brush. Your more detailed didactic comments are hugely appreciated. Thanks again
Dear Michael,
Somehow, I overlooked this video, which is the basis for all your subsequent instruction on foliage. I now realize I have to wait for any mid-layer of oil paint to dry completely before I add the next layer. You also showed me that I was using paint that was too thin in some instances and that I was using too much paint in other instances. All this resulted in frustrating failure which levied a distinct depression on me when I looked at your work with the realization that I would never approach your level of expertise. Now, at least I can start over again, armed withe the knowledge you conveyed in this video. Thank you.
S. Joseph Konopka
I am new to painting and love your work. Am I correct in thinking you blocked in with acrylic then glazed with the Griffin Alkyd? What do you usually thin with? I am currently using W&N professional without medium it takes sooooo long to dry.
Hi Michael, what's your routine for cleaning your brushes? I just bought a new set of brushes from Rosemary&Co and want to make sure there being thoroughly cleaned!
Michael James Smith That's ok! I've heard people storing them in Vaseline or baby oil to keep their shape, but I was skeptical, do you have good tips that you've heard over the years?
I must admit,I always imagine what the next theme will be...and I never guess;)Last time-lapse video you showed to us was masterpiece,as all is, after all,but the thing I want to say is that I see your video and say "wow,what a great theme,I must do something like that",and while I make myself start on one,you release new video and new idea come;)
Anyway,that just state in my mind that whatever you paint is worth hanging on wall in any of the best world galleries,and after that,on some lucky wealthy buyer's home wall...
Thank you again Mike for alowing us into your world and showing us how art history is made with every new painting of yours...
Hey Micheal,
Since a few weeks i am following your works. Its amazing with how much patience you constantly create new artworks. You are a very big inspiration for me and i already can see the results in my oilpaintings. Thanks for sharing this and go on making these videos. You are a big help! Greetings from Ibiza ✌🏼
Alex
brother your work is just off the hook,i am a great fan,question,do u have any DVDs out there for sale on full tutorials?if yes where can i get them?thanks micheal.
Its always good to see your beautiful work, thank you for sharing your experience of different types of brushes. I was asked to paint the wall which I never have the experience but I guess in that case use bigger brushes? I will be continue watching your video.
Hi mochel your work is very nice and naturaly i want you come to kurdistan of iraq for teaching oil painting and i promise and belive you will earn too much in kurdistan of iraqi because the people an artissts of here like the paint but unfortunately here havnt the good teacher for teaching paintin i hope you think on my sugestion ..thank alot
i wish i could paint like you, is it posible to share some of my artwork with you, i just started painting like 8 months ago, and it would be good if someone like you could evaluate my job. im looking forward to hear from you
Fantastic Michael, I am painting a similar hillside of trees so it’s just what I needed to see. Won’t turn out anywhere near your standard, but I’m learning fast. Thanks very much. Brilliant as always. Cheers.
Thank you Michael for all information that you just put on this video; because this is for me a very rewarding to continue information to improve myself in my paintings of landscape...
really enjoy your work and your tuturials. I have painstaked through my landscapes and have been timid. You are making it easier. thankyou!!!
Thanks a million Michael for sharing us the right tools and techniques. My painting getting better thanks to your advices.
Again thank you and waiting patiently for the next part.
You're patience to get the look of every single leaf on every tree is amazing! You make each painting look easy, but I know the technique takes a lot of practise. Huge respect.
Thank you Michael. I agree Rosemary and Co brushes are the best I've ever used, particularly for this type of work!
This would work well for painting broccoli too.
This is very helpful as I prefer larger paintings at this time, and so I can use any time-saving tips I can get! Thanks!
God bless you!!! 🍀Thanks, it was very useful for me👍 from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
eres el mejor tu me inspiras , eres mi motivacion gracias por tus consejos y tus enseñanzas eres el mejor saludos de Bolivia.
I dare say it looks more pretty than the picture...
Great work, as always. This was very informative...
Waiting for #81 now. Finish it soon
on your new web site will you be having a fan corner for our meagre efforts ;)
thanks for all the tips
Wow! Wonderful work many thanks. Thanks for the tips and info on brushes.
What a great lesson Michael Thankyou
Great work as always, thanks Michael for your invaluable help.
Excelente parabéns
***** hi, thank you for explaining and sharing your technique...much learned.. .very nice Brushwork...lush greens...depth... enjoy the style used, well done... Such a Malevelous Painting....thus far...looking forward as you crack on...
Marvelous....
have you ever done a tropical painting?
Which canvas u use for oil painting
It is really very awesome
Thanks Michael! Just absolutely invaluable tutelage.
Michael, great video as always. I was wondering, which kind of brush should I use to paint the initial darker glaze on the acrylic base of trees? I recently bought a few of your suggested Rosemary brushes and I gotta say they're really, really well made, but I can't find a brush that can create that fine glaze effect with liquid black (they get too muddy when I try it).
I'm getting the "muddy" effect when I am trying at as well Riccardo. I took the scissors to more than a few brushes and gave them "hair cuts" to no avail. I totally abused a brush hoping to torture it into a new shape, no luck. I'm beginning to think it's not the brush but my technique...maybe I'm a bit heavy handed...I don't know. Have you gotten anywhere in the past month?
Hi MC, yea it got way better for me actually. As Michael said, it's important to just barely touch the canvas, but I found it's even more important to load the brush properly: clean the brush after you mixed the glaze to unload it completely. Then just lightly load the brush and it won't get muddy. Also, you might want to need a proper brush for the glaze, and this one is pretty much perfect: www.rosemaryandco.com/watercolour-brushes/tree-texture-brush/rotary-brush?filter_name=textureit's a bit pricey but it's a really good brush. Honestly once I started buying my brushes from Rosemary website, I got way better.The last painting I've done (which is basically a replica of one of Michael's work):imgur.com/a/8vs27 Let me know if you have more questions, I'm not good by no means but I can try and tell you whether it is something that I've figure out or not.
I think it's all about the pressure! Thank you, Micheal. I appreciate the time you took to respond.
Riccardo, thank you so much for your detailed response and the links to the brush site. I absolutely love your water, well done! I've not even attempted water yet.
You're right, I have to clean the brush and only then, lightly load it and use very little pressure. Thanks again for your response. I truly appreciate it.
I am trying to do the tree leaves... it is very difficult find a brush and the correct technics...
incrível 😮 inspiração, parabéns. Brasil. kk
Michael the beginning of another great looking painting, you said another panel 20x30, did you use a panel or is this a stretched canvas.
Mikejs
Michael j Smith hi, MJS is using panel on this one...
This one helps me a lot! I haven't been able to get that triangular shape with my brushes so I'll order the the one you mentioned and give it a go. Also, thank you for mentioning the colour mix. 😃😃😃
+fran hanson...hi, I ordered the Ivory and riggers...the ivory is a wonderful brush. ..happy painting ....
