Beautiful and inspirational. As always. Great tips, wonderful painting, and great thoughts at the end. I would love to see Jeanette's painting too! Or maybe some of her thoughts? Would be cool to see and hear her interpretations!
@@Cheems09 well, no reason to see "Jesus" then, either, huh? Unless you're actually talking to someone named Jesus, it doesn't really make sense to even say. Religious or not, idiots tend to not think about what they're saying.
@@kristypolymath1359 religion has been apart of the english language since its beginning, thats why phrases like damn, jesus, holy shit etc are still common. Also have you never used expressive language since you question his use of "Jesus"?
Kristy Whalen lol the irony of YOU talking about idiots speaking without thinking. It’s a figure of speech. I don’t think being a rude asshole is an approach supported by the Bible. It’s a great figure of speech. It’s not going away anytime soon because it’s a perfect expression of surprise or excitement. It’s literally one of the most versatile expressions there is. You can say it while mad, happy, enraged, upset, ecstatic, enlightened. So get over it. You and that stupid stars person. Starting a sentence with “Jesus” is one of the most open ended ways to form a thought. You can say Christ, or go on to a different thought all together. Not everyone is bogged down in your fundamentalist negativity and naïveté. Get over yourself.
Haha.....Bob Ross was a television personality. His career was painting in front of a camera. His passion was not painting. He even hated his afro. The guy was a pleasure to listen to, he definitely had a calming demeanor about him, but he doesn't hold a candle to Gurney.
Kristy Whalen hey man...don’t cut down the titanic talent that is Bob Ross. He introduced hella people to art and painting as something they could try themselves, and he brought oodles of joy and relaxation to those who didn’t want to paint. He was awesome. He didn’t have to be the best painter, because he was the best version of himself he could he. That’s his appeal.
You ever hear of William Alexander? Bob Ross was a student of his and signed a contract which he soon broke. BOOB Ross was an Impostor and a fraud and a thief! Mr. Gurney is the Real Deal!
I love how you see the beauty in the less cherished, the dwarfed knarled branches, secure, only in the shadows. What people walk by every day. Marvellous.
A limited palette is really a necessity when doing realism outdoors. I think it's silly to carry more than 6 colors. You really only need 2, beyond that is just desperation. 2 or 3 more colors is okay, but now you are showing off. Like James does!
a house is also a stage in which we live our lives - mind blown! What a beautiful painting, I am blown away by the fact that you are almost calling this black and white, I see an overwhelming amount of colors. Seeing a master at work is something overly gratifying.
This is relaxing my brains... When I had no worries and responsibilities in my younger years, I was into graffiti and then drawing comic books back in the '80s-'90s, then I got married, kids and work my life has been so busy I barely do anything creative and I'm always feeling tired of being tired, if that makes any sense... Today I'm your newest subscriber!... Hopefully, by continuing watching your videos, it will bring out my younger years back into being creative again.
These videos make youtube much better, that's a fact. Mr.Gurney shares so much art and knowledge that I'm starting to think that is not fair! Always thank you!!!
I love how you capture every single detail. That’s the style i love and i’m trying to learn! Hopefully i can be as good as the great artists like you here on youtube
I was in USA for the first time and saw the subjects of your drawings in “real”. Now I understand why you select them. Before it was strange to me to see you drawing parking places, shops, petrol stations. Now the paintings also helpt me to remember my time in USA. 😀 🇳🇱
Thank you for the great tips. You always bring them around to another tip you may have mentioned in another area or medium. It helps me to see you execute it in different forms. Engrains it in my memory. I Love how you have pulled that light source into a well-defined area.
Wow, I've finally found an amazing RUclips artist that doesn't try to be quirky and follow trends! I've only watched bone video and I am so pleasantly surprised. Keep up the good work!
These tiny sketchbook and palette are adorable. That's a light and slick setup, very tempting to my minimalist nature but I need to work in bigger sizes. My travel setup is much messier, I sit on the ground and paint with different kind of paints(I sticked to tempera but it was taken on my flight, rip), just recently started mixing white guache with watercolors and I'm really enjoying it. I plan on taking my home setup next level with foldable chair, easel and huge plywood board. I love how a great painter Yuriy Khimich customized his setup - carried big jars and cans of paint in a suitcase which was also his chair, carried huge board with hole cut out for hand and bought whatever cheapest paper he could find that was used not even for drawing but for wallpapers and such. Also he used his brushes till they were absolutely worn out. Very inspiring to know such details
Best quote of all time on what a house actually is. :) I just bought a wartime 1943 house - this tutorial, and what you said at the end, really resonated. Thank you for sharing!
Mr. Gurney, you truly are a treasure. I've been fascinated by your work since I was a kid and saw Dinotopia. I hope one day I'll be able to make paintings look half as good as this painting or those in Dinotopia
Great work, Mr. Gurney, as usual. But a cool tip I've got from this video that you didn't mention was something like "don't get too attached to the painting". It was interesting how you dedicated a portion of the video to the painting of that little hole at the bottom of the house and then at the end you just brushed paint over it, almost covering completely, just to add a nice fading frame, which gives the painting a very nice look.
Not only do a learn a lot from watching your wonderful videos James, they are mesmerizing and always leave me with a kind of meditative state and feeling calm and satisfied.
I've been thinking about moving from digital painting to traiditional so I can do more studies outdoors and this video gave some great advice. Thanks for making this video, James!
Wonderful!!!!!!!!! Most importantly....your thoughts at the very end of this painting, touched my heart and soul...you brought me a few tearful memories! Thank you!
At the end of the clip, I was feeling that this painting needed some elements to enhance depth effect, and then just out of the blue this guy encourage our selves to improve this pictures adding some ideas, and he finishes the painting with that garage corner: just what the painting needed. Bravo!!
Inspiring as always... Poetic and profound heartfelt observations, compelling and beautiful painting and entirely applicable master lesson... with with continued admiration and gratitude, thank you James!
I love this! I was a technical illustrator & graphic designer - and now I do abstract art, but want to learn how to paint real things like this. Very nice tutorial.
I must say, your videos are something special. You are not only very talented but you take your time to explain your techniques and give the world some insightful knowledge for free. Thank you very much for that! ❤️👍
Hi James, I've been following your RUclips channel for some time with much enjoyment. I only just realised that you are the same James Gurney who wrote "Colour and Light" an artist's guide book from which I'm learning so much! It really is a super book! At the moment when I paint I know when what I do works, and when it doesn't, but your book helps me see why one thing works and another doesn't. It also tells me how I can go about working with colour and with different lighting to make things work on a more regular basis. Just wanted to say a big Thank-you!
Wow. You're such an incredible artist and so inspiring! A great teacher too. I thank you for making these videos and giving great tips! I cannot afford art school so I thank you kindly.
I have been binging your channel and Aaron Blaise' channel for the last week.... it's gotten me back into traditional mediums again. I bought a new watercolor sketchbook and the NW Field watercolor box busted out my old watercolors and brushes. Gonna try some animal and landscapes this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!
Just came up as a suggestion, and of course I wasn’t disappointed. Wow, amazing work, I love the addition of the shed, and also the part where you talk about the joys and heartaches the home has seen. Awesome video and tips!
This was an awesome video James and lately you are also adding really profound and thought provoking observations. I am writing down these very insightful comments at the end. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I am so inspired by this painting and the use of Gouache .Ive been watercolour painting for a while now but always avoided this medium because it’s not transparent.Thankyou. Love your approach.
Amazing teachings and painting as always. You are really a modern master and I really thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I am learning how to paint thanks to you! Thank you !
I recently bought a set of gouache paints after watching a couple of your videos. They're great to work with. It's not as transparent as watercolor is and it makes my paintings look more like oil paintings.
Your work is very beautiful. I don't even know how to draw a circle, but you motivate me to try something and do my art. Thanks for the inspiration! Keep up the good content.
You’ve inspired me to expand from my beloved watercolours into a bit of gouache. After much deliberation about brands and colours, I bought a few tubes of Winsor & Newton and one of Holbein. Today I’ll put some of it onto paper for the first time, yeh. Oh, and I remember how to spell it, finally!😜🎨
loved it man loved it.... what I like? first thing, the wristwatch showing things in real time, second I enjoyed that you incorporated the oil painting technique of underpainting. third that you blocked the light in the early stages (great lesson for me). four, your sophisticated tools and the way you described the process. Awesome job sir.looking forward to more. Oh wait I need to go through all your videos now........oh god it will take longer but I can't help it, after watching this video I have to watch all your content. thanks
Man your paintings are so incredible. Your videos are so informative to a lowly artist like me. And just seeing you wield your magic on the sketchbook is pure therapy for me at the end of the day. Thank you!!

@@JamesGurney You are just the sweetest person out there! Thank you!
totally agreed
it does look good 😊

"Mom these weird people are outside again painting our house" Great work James!
Hahahaha
Lol!
You make it look so effortless. Beautiful work and closing words.
Your the new Bob Ross, your voice is so soothing when your explaining the painting and I just cant take my eyes away from the screen. I love your work

Never ever had an artist slipped me into a emotional haze by his words, but you Mr.Gurney...did unexpectedly so well towards the end!
I love how you broke it down into steps. Also what a great example of limited palette. 🎨
A limited palette is really a necessity when doing realism outdoors. I think it's silly to carry more than 6 colors. You really only need 2, beyond that is just desperation. 2 or 3 more colors is okay, but now you are showing off. Like James does!
The coronal effect is my favourite part and gives it that warm golden light feel; amazing artistic additive and really takes it to another level
Wife fails to catch kids first steps with her camera: “ Dang it!”

“I like to add interesting anomalies that I then cover up on the final step”
Hahahaha brutal

What a beautiful painting, I am blown away by the fact that you are almost calling this black and white, I see an overwhelming amount of colors. Seeing a master at work is something overly gratifying.
It was so poetic
It’s art, it’s drama, it’s science, it’s history, it’s poetry. It’s a James G. Video nice!
I finally found a channel focused on gouache painting. And its hosted by a masterful painter as well! Love your artwork sir! Subscribed.
This painting style makes that washed in, slightly weathered to even vintage look that I really like
This is relaxing my brains... When I had no worries and responsibilities in my younger years, I was into graffiti and then drawing comic books back in the '80s-'90s, then I got married, kids and work my life has been so busy I barely do anything creative and I'm always feeling tired of being tired, if that makes any sense...
Today I'm your newest subscriber!... Hopefully, by continuing watching your videos, it will bring out my younger years back into being creative again.
It's always a poetry when 'Sir' paints..... So soothing so relaxing.
That house is like the surface of your mixing palette, it has seen many colors over the years. Some bright, some dark. Some joyful, and others somber
Your channel is probably the best channel I have discovered in a long time! Thank you for uploading this content.
Artistry, wisdom, humour and thoughtfulness - all in one little film. Thank you.
You always make it look so easy. I'll keep practicing thanks Mr. Gurney.

You got me thinking about gouache. I want to get some soon.
Mr. Gurney, sets off my ASMR every time love his video's so relaxing and fantastic!
Many thanks James. I always look forward to your videos, especially that sense of nostalgia you convey in your art and narrative.
Thanks, Wendy. I remember your wonderful contributions to our painting challenges.
From just seeing the 2 past paintings I’ve already liked the video. And I know I’m going to enjoy the rest.
I’m always glad when I click on your videos. Your work and your explanation of technique are so good.
Let alone the way James captured it, im sure He an i ain't seeing the same thing. Truly a sigh to behold.
thanks for sharing.... enjoyed the adventure. Outdoor gouached painting of cityscapes is a t heme I woud like to pursue.
Wonderful!!!!!!!!! Most importantly....your thoughts at the very end of this painting, touched my heart and soul...you brought me a few tearful memories! Thank you!
