Ty Stuart!! I watched til the end!! ☺️ I like to learn from your videos because my favorite 'subject' matter to paint, or even see paintings from other artists, is the sky/clouds!!!! ❤️ I love thunderstorms.... dramatic clouds in a dark sky, but also beautiful soft pastel clouds/sky. When I visited the hotel (El Tovar?) at the Grand Canyon about 14 years ago, I was captivated by a very large painting on the wall in the lobby....it stirred my soul.... I stood there for a long time enjoying it.... unfortunately I didn't look for the artists' name.... I'm glad I 'stumbled' upon your channel!!! Watching you create those bold, mysterious skies/clouds stirs my soul....I'm learning SO much from you!! I prefer 'less detail' in a painting as well....you are a Great teacher/artist!!!!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom & talents!! 💙🖌️🎨☁️🌫️
Its really fun and inspiring to watch you painting. You seem to be “massaging” the paint into the board and then you seem to magicly “ let the lights float into the paint” - I get a very tactile feeling and it really gives the illusion of vibrational feeling of the beauty of movements of a landscape. 🎶💙🎵🦋
Genius. Instead of having scores of terrible failed pictures stored in the garage which depress you every time you clap eyes on them, you can instead very quickly explore multiple compositions and techniques on glass, photograph the ones you like on your phone, evaluate them at leisure, then decide which to develop into 'actual' pictures. You get loads of experience, try out lots of ideas very quickly, get much more inspired and motivated and save a fortune on paint, ply and/or canvas. This is brilliant and a real game changer. Thank you.
people spend hundreds of dollars on brushes and this gentleman creates a near masterpiece with a paper towel. Truly very talented....indeed .....great lesson.
Hi Stuart. I am one of the „stays to the end“.. hope you are doing well. Love your stunning artwork! I appreciate every single hint and comment on how it’s done. Thank you for that magic lesson. Cheers to France
Stuart, you could upload a video that was 3 or 4 hours long and I like many others I am sure, would still avidly watch from start to finish. I learn something every time. I may of mentioned before but coming across your channel has inspired me to pick up a paintbrush for the first time in over 30 years and I thank you for that.
OMGOSH!! Another GREAT Video Stuart!! The glass idea is incredible!! The other tips are equally incredible!! That it’s cheap is nice, but the fact that it takes the fear of ruining another canvas is completely removed, what’s more is that now I have an idea of how the brush strokes work!! The entire video is most remarkable and helpful!! Many Thanks!
I don't always have time to watch the longer videos at one sitting so I use to watch them in parts. From you I learn much more than from my actual teachers, so thank you. Your lessons are always interesting and your paintings fascinating. If you read this I hope you have a nice day :)
I stay because I either learn something new or I here something reiterated. Seeing it work as you work is quite enlightening. Thank you again for sharing your expertise and wisdom.
Thanks to your channel I'm finally learning to paint, I really enjoy this style, and I'm trying to emulate it and add my own spin on it. It's very free and engages my imagination, it's extremely satisfying to lay down that first sketch of a landscape and see a painting reveal itself to you, on its own. Thanks, again!
Hi Stuart, as you asked the question, I watched to the end as I have done with many of your videos. To answer another question, I love your commentary. You have a very encouraging voice and whilst you do this in a very un-lectury way, the more I listen, the more little gems seem to pop out, not at all pushed on us the listener / observer, but there to be savoured by those who would like to. A lovely style, thank you.
Your technique and non-faffing makes you my favorite you-tube artist at the moment, videos so relaxed entertaining and instructive. I was using acrylics to try out painting in your fashion, using a liquid retarder, but went and broke out the oil paints yesterday. A very different game, the flow and ability to wipe off and create the illusion of detail is a different game. I really like the illusion part, painting details for hours is so tedious. You are a master in all senses, but your ability to visualize and create poetry in the landscape is the pot of gold. Even though I somehow don't believe you paint a lot of rainbows ! Thank you.
The confidence with which you used lapis lazuli was astounding! I would have looked at it a lot, thought about it a lot, but ultimately never touched it.
Thank you, Stuart! This was wonderful…so much great information! I ALWAYS stay with you until the end..no matter what the length. In fact, the longer,the better!! Looking forward to the next one!! ❤️❤️❤️
Another one to paint along with you as I’m a slow learner and previously overlooked some of your techniques. So I watch you on my phone and apply to canvas. You’re spreading art accomplishment!
I enjoyed your video always until the end you are the best teacher you know how to communocate with us you know what we are thinking. You explain and we learn from you you are a master thankyou thankyou thankyou we all love you.
Oh, how I like your videos and tutorials! In absolutely every video there is some new trick that I didn't know before. In this video, I really liked how to look for details and textures in different areas, I got something to think about again. Great! Many, many thanks!!!
The way you paint may not be the same way that I paint but I definitely appreciate your style and love your paintings. I really enjoy watching you paint. Yes, I watch them all throughout until the end.
Thank you very much for another stunning video. I loved the exercises on glass. They truly gave some wonderful ideas. Your painting is, as usual, really fabulous. I watch all your videos right through to the end.
You asked what type of painting I have difficulty with and it’s autumn scenes. I haven’t watch you create on yet. I would love to watch it. Love your technique 👍
I allways stay to the end and wont more of your briliant talent and way of teaching. Sorry for my poor enghish. All the best and a glorious spring from your number one fan in beautiful Romania. Hat off maestro!
Wow, I love watching you paint! I’m new at painting, trying different techniques...I do love your style. It amazes me the process of painting. The key is relax for sure. I’m using acrylics, but should try water based oils. Looks like oils is more fun to blend and make texture.
This was full of wonderful tips & demonstrations of techniques. My paintings are considerably better bc of you 😊. I just sold one I did based on what I learned from you, & got a commission 🤗
You are an inspiration. I hope one day I can master this form of painting. For now if I try, it looks like some 5 year old got hold of a canvas and paints
Would love to see you glaze many of your paintings as you mentioned needing to finish a stack. I love this style of painting but I find it a struggle to see the unity between the blue of the sky and the green of the earth. I believe that glazing would be the way to fix this? Reflecting the the sky onto the earth etc? I could be wrong I’m sure but would definitely love to see how you’d approach a finished unified painting. Thank you as always for your knowledge!
Painting on glass seems like so much fun. Makes me want to bust out the oil paints. OR, try watercolors and gouache on glass. Currently 25 minutes in to the video. The long videos are very nice to listen to.
A pallet is a great idea to practice on Stewart. I oftentimes use what is called butcher paper to practice on. It's great because it's easy to clean. sometimes it is called freezer paper. It's waxy on one side and shiny. And so it's easy to wipe the paint off. 🌹
I would love to join your class but as you mentioned, time difference is a pain. I live in HK and have just last year taken up oil painting. If you do a class for your Australian/NZ patrons, would like to be notified. Thanks. You always give me inspiration to be a better artist.
Your 'ooh ah. I must do this!' doesn't irritate me at all, because that so well corresponds to my thinking processes when I'm working on a painting. You'd have trouble doing this on a more strongly textured board, eg a canvas board, I think? I suspect it's a technique that would work well on Ampersand panels, though - I think you use MDF, primed with acrylic; so I wonder (you may use an oil ground of course) if you mind leaving paint-free areas in your pictures: e.g. that strip of chalk - is that white oil paint, or unpainted priming?
I've stayed for the videos that are as much as an hour and 46 minutes.. I would be happy to watch even longer, if you ,made them. There is only one other artist that I've learned nearly as much from and I was 12 years old in 7th grade. :-)
🎨I love the longer videos Stuart. The more the merrier. And by the way many terrors are becoming known about the shots. There are many reasons to avoid them and uphold the Nuremberg Code. 💜
Yes I made it to the end (you asked us to say if we did?). Love the sketch on glass idea - what a great way of checking composition! I think I am going to have to buy a book on landscape composition with all those loads of thumbnails of LS type & spend an afternoon getting dirty with glass! :-)

Loved it, to the end. Thanks very much Stuart, feel inspired to paint myself out of a months long, block.
Can’t wait to check out more of your videos.

Just so you know, I always stay to the end.. can't get enough of watching how you make what's hard LOOK so easy! ~Amazed beyond words.
Love what you do Stuart, very motivating thanks!

Actually Stuart - I watched it twice- fabulous. You’re so clever in that you make it look easy, but it’s not. You’re a joy to watch. M x
Your painting process is so mesmerising that I can’t help but stay till the end!!
👍💙
The paper towel and brush contrast makes your painting really alives and touching my soul, Thank you Stuart.

I stayed. Unusual painting, but it is refreshing to see your "free style" of "work". Thank you.
I just LOVE you. What peace I had watching you. I’m from the Okanagan Valley in B.C. Canada. This view is much like we see around here. Thank you.
Another very satisfied "watcher-till-the-end"! Thank you.
The confidence with which you used lapis lazuli was astounding! I would have looked at it a lot, thought about it a lot, but ultimately never touched it.
Thank you, Stuart! This was wonderful…so much great information! I ALWAYS stay with you until the end..no matter what the length. In fact, the longer,the better!! Looking forward to the next one!! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, Stuart, masterly work, as usual. You just keep on impressing me!
R.C. Matthews - Great as always. I most always stay to the end.
Cannot get enough of your videos.
Another one to paint along with you as I’m a slow learner and previously overlooked some of your techniques. So I watch you on my phone and apply to canvas. You’re spreading art accomplishment!

Wow, that´s a very good idea, to use the glass palette for practice! So smart!
Yes, I stayed to the end, thank you!
This it not only teaching painting but teaching magic. Thank you Stuart and stay safe. Greatings from Andalusia/Spain.
I like the possibilities of your practice method Stuart. Thank you for the ideas. I have some old greenhouse glass, that I will utilise forthwith :)))
I always stay to the end, love your teaching
You asked what type of painting I have difficulty with and it’s autumn scenes. I haven’t watch you create on yet. I would love to watch it. Love your technique 👍
Love your videos and I'm definitely gonna try a painting on wood instead of canvas.
Brilliant Stuart, I'm doing a paint along to this one, and, I always stay to the end.
Glad I stayed to the end. Beautiful painting. Thanks again.
I allways stay to the end and wont more of your briliant talent and way of teaching. Sorry for my poor enghish. All the best and a glorious spring from your number one fan in beautiful Romania. Hat off maestro!
This is absolutely brilliant! Doing it!
43 minutes and still watching. Enjoying
What a beautiful result.
Thank you for showing that one of the most powerful types of paint brush is kitchen paper.
Wow, I love watching you paint! I’m new at painting, trying different techniques...I do love your style. It amazes me the process of painting. The key is relax for sure. I’m using acrylics, but should try water based oils. Looks like oils is more fun to blend and make texture.
Yes I watch the whole video too. This was a nice vid that I enjoyed very much.
Wonderful as always, I stayed to the end, just watched in 2 sittings.
I always watch to the end, and save to watch at least one more time☺ TY for your time!!
I always watch till the end
Glass seems the perfect way to practice...and to escape the dreaded, “ I’ll hold off painting until I’m just a little more confident” trap.
Love it Stuart,and I always watch until the very end! 😀❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic demonstration and talk!
I always watch you to the end!!
This was full of wonderful tips & demonstrations of techniques. My paintings are considerably better bc of you 😊. I just sold one I did based on what I learned from you, & got a commission 🤗
Thank you so very much for your videos! I love them all! ♥
Always watch to the end....don’t want to miss a thing.
I always stay to the end!! Enjoy every minute, so please don't do us in with less of your brilliance!
I enjoyed the video and stayed to the end and learned quite alot thankyou.
What a great idea Stuart!!
I always stay to the end❤
Fantastic work , awesome sharing, great job dear keep it up 👌👌❤
Thank you, sketching on glass is absolutely clever idea.
I do watch your videos till the end and I enjoy them very much

I think he uses fairly thin plywood primed with acrylic gesso.
I used to use MDF, but no more. I just use 5mm plywood now. The white is the gesso where I haven't added any paint.
I've stayed for the videos that are as much as an hour and 46 minutes.. I would be happy to watch even longer, if you ,made them. There is only one other artist that I've learned nearly as much from and I was 12 years old in 7th grade. :-)
I watched to the end!
The classes are great
Beautiful work, Sir.
Beautiful blue
At the end looking good.
Excellent!
🎨I love the longer videos Stuart. The more the merrier. And by the way many terrors are becoming known about the shots.
There are many reasons to avoid them and uphold the Nuremberg Code. 💜
Great video and I did stay to the end
Always watch to the end! Currently developing my style and exploring different techniques. Tonal is next up!
Love your videos.😮❤
Yes I made it to the end (you asked us to say if we did?).
Love the sketch on glass idea - what a great way of checking composition!
I think I am going to have to buy a book on landscape composition with all those loads of thumbnails of LS type & spend an afternoon getting dirty with glass! :-)
Very good information. Thank you very much.
Another enjoyable watch, love the glass tip. Might try that on the windows, ahahaha
Wonderful artist and a lovely man. I would love to visit to study with you soon. It would be very interesting, lots of fun and highly therapeutic.
Watching your excellent videos results in learning painting by osmosis.
