Mr. Davies, you sir are so far from "extremely boring" that you're teetering on "phenomenally interesting." Between being a wonderful painter, a writer, a book cover designer, where you live and your time on Earth, I believe I could sit and listen to your stories for hours. People have always had a fascination with other people's lives. How does it compare to ours? Is theirs normal? Weird? Cool? Now with your improved cameras, the glimpse into your studio and watching you move about, teach and speak art all the same time is a great package. I say thank you.
Your skies are tumultuous- not depressing. I love it when mother nature gets cranky lol. I grew up on the ocean, watching storms from my front porch... Like you cannot paint a "calm" sky? I can't paint a calm ocean. I also don't particularly want to.
Very gorgeous! The clouds , the clouds, they are very amazing and magical, and so is the cliff. The way you do wonders with a palette knife is very admirable. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and tricks with us. Many thanks to you, a true Grand Master, for this! Take care of yourself and your health!
I thoroughly enjoyed part 2 of Poldark's Pass, and am happy to be one of your Patreons. Congratulations on another masterful finish to one of your paintings. It's interesting to know your thought process as you dance around the canvas before diving in. I do all kinds of things in my pre-painting dance as well.. I was invited to have a solo exhibit of my paintings this summer, to show October through the end of the year, in a beautiful church in downtown Colorado Springs. I had nine oil paintings ready to go that were studies of well known master artist angel sculptures. In 2 months I painted nine more land and sky paintings, using your quick big brush, blending techniques. They are 18"x36" and 30"x40", some on gessoed 1/2" birch plywood panels, and some on 1/4" masonite, that my husband cut for me from 4x8 pieces I got from Home Depot. As I could not afford to frame them all, they are unframed, hung with canvas stretchers mounted on the back with velcro and glue. The collection is named Earth & Sky and Angel Warriors. Thanks for your inspiration and generous sharing of your technique, Stuart, you are a gem!
So nice to see you walking around your studio, it made for a more complete painting experience 😊 Love the sky, there was a face in it just above the cliff edge which you finally almost completely obliterated, though I can still see it because I know it’s there! Really lovely picture, you’re a genius
Who needs land when you have that amazing sky! No moon needed - it's stunning and majestic! Ps - you are never boring. I enjoy all your chatter and am just pleased to be able to watch. You look great too. A sign that you're still feeling good I hope!
I love your videos and watch them all the way through. The Sky in Poldarks Path part 2. I can see a face in the clouds ☁️… looks an interesting expression. It’s just above the top of the cliff. I hope you can see it. Great painting 🖼️
I think this might be my favorite sky of yours. I love how the cirrus clouds cans still be seen in the higher elevation. It gives such a feeling of depth.
Another wonderful video to see you create such beautiful landscapes and skies - i find your voice overs very informative but relaxing as well. I appreciate your sharing your knowledge and talent! Hope you are well.
Loved the glazing addition. Blending the sky the way you did really set it off. Thanks for the cloud technique with paper. Loved the duel video and as always the humor that you add. Thank you again
I just took my first plunge two weekends ago and went to a local art store's class. Very basic introduction to types of paints, brushes, strokes and how thicknesses of paints react to trying to do certain things. The one thing they talked about was how board kind gets floppy the bigger it gets and she suggested a backer of thin plywood to keep it a bit more rigid. I figured I'd say that since you mentioned it in this vid. I'd like to note that if the cliff is a little older and weathered many plant types can find purchase on such a facing. I've seen a lot of prairie 'cliffs' almost as steep as that which are filled with grass and brush. About all you'd need to do is add a few spots of darker black or brown to make it look like patchwork brush.
Living in Iowa, I viewed the rolling greens of summer farmlands to the golds of autumn. Then to the High Plains of east Colorado, the Great American Desert, with the browns of summer where the skies are Not cloudy all day. I see your clouds and remember the forever blue skies of Colorado.
Hi Stuart I'm So glad you are feeling better. I've watched all your videos, all very inspiring This Poldark presentation/tutorial/theme is super Thank you. Love the use of your Palette Knife & nice to see your entire palette on the table.
Well I must say I do absolutely ❤ the dual cameras. I hope that’s not a lot of extra work for you. The addition of those white clouds, & how you achieved the effects is gorgeous. I really like the addition of the darker blue on the left for additional contrast. The added grayish-blue added to the cliffs reminds me of the colors of the many granite cliffs in the northern Appalachian Mountains 😊 Ty! Ty! I was excited to watch. Really enjoyed it.
Beautiful addition Stuart! I’ve loved every sky you’ve painted and I think I love this one the most! My family and I binged watched Poldark, what a fun series. It was rather hysterical how often he galloped on his horse down the path in one scene and then back in the next scene. I can just see him in this painting. I always get excited when you bring out the big brush… I know that magic will ensue. It happened again this time. I didn’t mind the green cliff but I love this rocky one too. Thanks Stuart as always for the most wonderful inspiration.
I just found your channel yesterday and loved part 1 of this tutorial (or whatever😂). I’m thrilled you didn’t find music to add to it. I’m probably your age or a little older and retired from a profession far removed from that of a starving artist…which is what I would have been. Listening to you talk your way through the video gave me a lot of insight into your thinking process. That in itself was invaluable. I’m here on RUclips because I’ve had to turn away from traditional oils as one of my young dogs couldn’t tolerate the solvents. Water colours, acrylics and pastels are not my forte so I’m learning to adjust to water mixables. Concepts are the same. I love your style. I also love skies and was extremely happy to be able to watch this video and see the change👍. OK is OK. Dramatic and powerful skies are are always so much more awe inspiring ! Half way through I can see where you’re heading. Love it better already. I limit my FB time but I’ll be checking out your website when I’m done here
👋Hi Stuart, I love this finishing touch for the clouds. They appear more voluminous and a bit more natural now, although I also liked them before. But now they are WOW. The cliff and red band in the sky also look very realistic after the few changes you've made, although I saw green cliffs as well. I wouldn't add the moon. This work of art is excellent as it is. - A word to your book: It's still not here, I think because of Brexit, ordered in August, but that is not your fault. In the meantime I've ordered it for the 3rd time and it hopefully will have arrived by Christmas 🙂 I'm patient...Have a nice week, Stuart, and stay healthy.👍❤
I thoroughly enjoyed both the videos! The sky and the hill looks amazing! Thank you so much for sharing the video. I wish I can get a chance to attend your workshop in France next year. I have emailed you regarding that. Kind regards
Really like the second camera! It gave me a better sense of the size of the canvas as well as seeing how you work. (I always know that a piece is going well when my studio is a mess, so I enjoyed hearing you talk about yours. If a piece isn't going well, then I spend time cleaning to avoid working on it!)
Yay - Thank you for making a new video Stu!!! I love how you added new camera angles to show off your studio! You sound good Sir, wishing you good health and good spirits - Cheers Mate!
Lovely finish. The clouds made a huge difference. Perhaps you could do a sky in a purplish/plum haze sonetime Stuart.. ? You seem to have had one about 7 years ago which was a speed painting but youtube is hiding your older videos. I watched it some time ago but cannot find it now. I looked on your website and I think it may be the second painting in your gallery. Anyway, those are the colours I would like to see in a painting. 😊
Greetings Stuart from Mary Ann in Queensland. I loose stuff all the time. Us English are just eccentric and the harder we try not to be odd the worse it becomes.
I'm an avid follower of yours, and I always stay to the end of all your videos. I have started a couple paintings in your style and I am happy with the results so far. I am impatient with the waiting for the paint to dry so I can do the blending. In the meantime, I shopped for a large blending brush, but wallpaper brushes are like Hens teeth on the West Coast of Canada (Vancouver). However, I found a 5" brush that is meant for DeckStain that will do the job just as well. For your Canadian fans, they are available at Home Depot stores for $18.00. I recognised your painting of the cliffs at Beachy Head.. I lived in Hastings before emigrating in 1963. I look forward to your next video.
It has been a few months since I've watched your videos. Your videos are progressing A LOT! Your paintings are as gorgeous as always. Best of all your voice puts me into relaxation and ASMR heaven. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you so much Stewart. Have a Happy Christmas.
You think your studio is untidy! I recently finished a biography of Francis Bacon and watched a few RUclips videos about him . Some photos and shots were shown of his studio at Reece Mews; somewhere among the piles of material and detrius plus paint splattered walls, was a paint stained easel at which he created the beings that peopled his canvases. Your studio is quite tidy by comparison :-)
I have to admit that I did not like the sky. But, you've pulled out a miracle with these scrumptious clouds. Bravo! P.S. I never had a problem with green cliffs. And, please, no moon.
A major improvement on the sky, Stuart, and the cliff looks much more realistic as well. I'd still like to see you develop a more colourful palette for the rest of the landscape - I think sap green and red ochre needs something more, now. How about it?
I purchased online six rolls of industrial size paper towels, thinking it was like what you use. It is thin and slightly textured and not as stiff as I had expected. But I think if I twist it up enough I can get the same effects you use with your whipping technique. 💕🙏 Nonetheless I paid 30 bucks for 6 rolls so that's going to go a lot further than $30 worth of grocery store paper towels for other uses! Hope you are enjoying what's left of your Sunday. 🙏💕
Dear remote professor, I would be so grateful to learn more about how you highlight your trees and bushes. I have found your videos about glazing where I saw you highlighting the fields mostly. Thank you for considering my request.
Thank you Stuart . Sorry! I was the one who commentated that I found it difficult to appreciate a green cliff. I'm too realistic and want to progress!!!
I am never bored watching your videos . I always learn something from you . I also like your sence of humor . I do have a question . Is your email active .? I have tried several time to email you , but it will not go . Looking forward to your next video. In the mean time , I will go back to previous ones . It was nice to see your studio .

Hallo Herr Davies , Sie sind die beste Kunstmaler ..... Ich bin dankbar von ihnen , weil ich habe VIEL von ihnen gelernt . Dankeschön .🖼🎨🖼
Thanks for sharing your 50 years of experience, it shines through on how a simple landscape can be beautiful
Very telented artist! Great demonstrations. Thanks.
Nice to see your studio. Let's see more of your house, extensive grounds, staff, etc! 😁
LOL!
Lovely to see you animated within your studio ,instead of just the usual shoulder view.
Your clouds are wonderful.
Your very much welcome.
Your skies are tumultuous- not depressing. I love it when mother nature gets cranky lol. I grew up on the ocean, watching storms from my front porch... Like you cannot paint a "calm" sky?
I can't paint a calm ocean.
I also don't particularly want to.
Thank you, my friend! This is wonderful. It was good to see you, as well. 💚💚💚👏👏👏
What can I add? ANOTHER MAGNIFICENT TUTORIAL! Thank you Stuart!!

Very cleverly done to go from a bleak, bland cliff to an urban wasteland. Nice work Mr Stuard!

Hi Stuart I'm So glad you are feeling better. I've watched all your videos, all very inspiring
This Poldark presentation/tutorial/theme is super Thank you. Love the use of your Palette Knife & nice to see your entire palette on the table.
A fitting finale to Poldark's Walk, from the first stab. One can almost smell the salt from the sea.😂
Another magnificent sky! ❤
Thanks Stuart! As always, I keep learning more from you, and gain inspiration to challenge myself. 👍
Great change to the sky, it looks absolutely marvelous!
Beautiful painting thanks Stuart, greetings from Australia 🇦🇺.
Thank you for another incredible video and all of the colors together are so amazing and very beautiful. The result is mind blowing!
Great to see you at work both on and off the camera and the studio. Very much as always enjoying the video series and development of one painting.

I love what you did with the sky which I already liked quite a bit. Really amazing how it attained a new level of magic!
The sky is magnificent. The textured appearance on the cliff was the final touch needed. Great job 😍
Love part two, and motion camera!
Stunning sky !

I kept waiting for you to do something about that white pillow lying atop the cliff. It caught my eye early and I can't unsee it.

Indeed. Reminds me a bit of some of Bierstadt’s voluminous majestic cloudy skies
NOT boring! Thanks, teach.

I do :-)
@@StuartDavies after the game between Costa Rica and Spain, this reply just made my day jajaja thanks...
Nice improvement Stuart. I like the sky very much. Thanks fot uploading and enjoyu the rest of your sunday😀

more painters should adopt the innovative new style, presented in this video.
great job

Wow! Love it😍 have 1 question - can you turn more lights on the canvas? Works are pretty dark and my old eyes can’t discern some of the detail😘
Really enjoyed this video, I think you should use the two-camera setup a bit more. Quite like the two perspectives.

I he often wondered why not film from your left side... when you had the insert showing you putting the red paint on you weren't in the way at all
The logistics of my studio make that a bit tricky. I may have to use a different room!
Big improvement!

Right above the cliff it looks like an elf face. LOL
I’m a rock enthusiast who paints.
your not stupid..😟 we enjoy you. Please be kind to yourself. Please.
🙂
I’m waiting to see you do yoga.
Gonna be a long wait :-)
I’m so frustrated with my painting I want to throw it across the room 😫
Been there - done that!
I believe I have the same easel. It has wobbled from day one when painting large canvases. Due to the subpar three leg design I presume.
