See the Big Shapes, Paint the Details

- James Gurney paints an autumn street street scene using watercolor and gouache. He shows how he tries to keep in mind the big tonal masses before he concentrates too much on the smaller details. This way of plein-air painting works for quick sketches or more finished compositions. My blog: gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/

The art of James Gurney shows he is a living master, and I think he deserves to be remembered as one of the best artists of the 21st century based on skill alone.
That's right, he has great skill- but that alone is not what makes a great artist.
I heard some one say; "Do not paint what is supposed to be there, but only paint what you see..." I'm trying to keep that in mind
'
Once you know the rules you can break them, but it's good for starting out.
Even better one is, paint what you understand, not what you see.
Loved seeing Jeanette's and Winsor's paintings too, and hearing that it's ok to feel lost.
That's Thomas Kinkade's daughter!
Chris W I was wondering if she was. You can see a bit of similarity in her piece and her fathers work.
Man, I want this became one of my life goals, just travel&paint with friends, it's like photowalk, but with painting :)
Dispatch: 911, what’s your emergency?
Nosy neighbor: They’re painting again!!
LMAOOOOOO
Thank you so much for reminding me that an hour can go by with only big shapes
Hey👋James!
Great work as always. I had mentioned how most everyday I’ll see a Norman Rockwell painting or drawing I’d never seen before. The volume of his work is staggering. I’m ready to say the same of you. What a treat for this video to pop up in my RUclips queue. Thanks for being an inspiration in my golden years!
You can make even grey days look cheerful...!
Much appreciated James. Quoting the Tao is good for understanding watercolor. I loved your wife's painting and the other one, each was so vibrant. Now, where are my brushes.....
I loved seeing how 3 people painted the same scene. Do more of those please.
Thanks, we'll have to do that again.
The photoshop'ed image that accentuates all the shapes is super helpful! Amazing texture on the tree leaves. Bravo!
The man made it look easy.
A masterclass from a master artist. What a joy to watch these snippets of magic!
Wow !!! 5:14 FINALLY Mrs. Gurney!👍🏼 🤓
That was a great video Jim. It was nice to hear from the other artists perspective and see their paintings. Always interesting to see the same scene from other points of view.
Thank you so much for your videos. You are comforting during this terrifying time.
I love that three people can paint the same scene, from almost the same viewpoint, and come up with three unique paintings.
That sap green is a lovely colour
There's so much gold in these videos I find myself watching them over and over. Thank you James for another great post. And it's great to see Jeanette's work too - I really like her style :)
Love this. For my Christmas gift to myself I’m going to put together a Gurney easel!! Thanks for all you do.
Me too! Good luck with yours :o
I found 1/4” thick stair tread at local big box home center if you want an alternative to the plywood...
You are an excellent water colour painter. Enjoyed this video and loved the painting.
Thank you! I loved seeing everyone's paintings! It so much fun to see what stood out to each one of you through your paintings!
James Gurney
The picture is so flavorful
cool,
You are the best painter,
As a Korean watercolor artist, I commend your painting,
I pray that good things always happen!
Wow your wifes and friends paintings were amazing. I love how differently each of you paint. It was nice that your wife was involved in this video.
As always i love your process and finished piece, i am always amazed at how you view a scene. Xx
You take what appears to be a mundane scene to most of us and you turn it into a lovely piece of artwork. I could watch you paint forever! Thanks for your inspiring videos. I just bought a set of gouache and hope to learn how to use them!
I wasn't having a good day, but then this video appeared in my feed and I'm feeling better.
Yeah, he's such a chilled dude as well.
Wow, Jeanette's painting is wonderful! I love it!
Didn't expect to see Winsor in this video! We used to go to high school together haha
This channel is so peaceful
Thank you James your videos are always healing to watch! 💓💓
Iv heard it say, the Devil is in the details! James Gurneys paintings turn out great, because he knows how to paint just the right details! If that was me painting that, if it dident turn out id through it in the garbage and go have a beer!
Jeanettes's watercolor painting is the one I like the most. Congratulations
loved seeing three different artist’s takes on the same scene. greatly enjoyed this video!
My grandma has some Thomas Kinkade puzzles in her cupboard. She used to solve them in Winter (dont know if she still could manage it, cause her eyes are getting worse). Also, my other Grandma gave me "Dinotopia - A Land Apart from Time" as a birthday present when I was a litte rugrat, barely able to read.
And now, see you standing there... I mean... kind of funny/strange to see the relation to my own life right now, like 25 years later.
Greetings from Germany!
Hi James, I love your painting, and your wife Jeanette's painting as well. I really hope to see more of her art featured here in the future!
Stunning. Loved the end result and the journey you took us on to get there.
I can never click fast enough when I see a new JG video hit my feed! It was lovely to see the other 2 paintings as well, to see the scene through different eyes. Thanks for sharing the talent with us!
James Gurney
絵がとても風情があり、
素晴らしいです、
あなたは最高の画家、
韓国の水彩画がある私はあなたの写真を賞賛している、
常に良いことがあることを祈ります！
당신의 친절한 말에 대단히 감사합니다. 한국 작가의 그림에 감탄합니다.
Simply amazing!
The way you paint and how also your wife and Friend painting the same street oh man, pretty neat stuff, you have one more subscriber.
I just thought I wanted to see your wife's painting as well and half a minute after this you showed it to us :) It is very good. The girl from California did well too. Thank you James!
This channel keeps on improving although I have long rated it highly and now it has something like the number of subscribers it deserves. I can see it doubling in the near future. Definitely enhances the experience to include Jeanette's work and that of other artists.
Wonderful! What I probably love most about these videos is the fact that at 1:30 in, it actually looks terrible! This is the stage where I would always rip things apart in anger and frustration. But this gives me hope. I have bought some paint tubes and brushes and I will try again. It has been 25 years.
Great video and comparison. It's always exciting to see how you work through correcting a painting. The big shapes idea is a tough hurdle for new students. I'm teaching workshops here and I'm working on an exercise for my class where I have people take a landscape and 3 gradations of value (white->gray->black) construction paper and cut the big shapes. I struggle to get the lesson to stick so I'm hoping actually cutting paper will help drive it home. We'll see how it goes!
Did you take Nathan's workshop? Did he have you do the thing with the paper cutout shapes?
James Gurney Not to my recollection. Unless I missed a part. Although, Ive only watched Nathan (Fowkes, right?) video demos and I haven’t taken a workshop with him specifically.
James thank you, your videos are so kind, warm and full of peace and love.
Thank you for your videos, really:)) You are basically my teacher and I would be so much more desperate with my Gouache than I am now😅
Each painting is so different, but I like yours for the blend of detail, and large broad strokes that from afar makes sense.
They all looked great.
Always a joy to watch!
Loved them all
Wow, that was a treat. Loved watching this!
Love the interaction between fellow artists :) more videos like this please.
Amazing! I absolutely loved it!
Congratulations James, it's amazing, I love it !
So good. Love watercolors.
Thanks James. You make it look so easy.
Wow!!! I loved watching this and learning. Y'all are awesome. Thank you, James!!!
Even the title is a valuable lesson
I learn so much from every single video of yours. Thanks, James!
Each so unique through the eye of the artist! Beautiful! Thank you!
Looks awesome and peaceful to do.
What a talented group!
Great stuff man I agree, this style of art is cool, let’s your mind fill in the blanks.
thank you for providing such materials about painting for free!
Thank you for this, paint big shapes then paint details. Watching you do it gives me courage to do it!
I’m watching this before bedtime..so calm.. so relax..
You are a wonderful artist and an awesome teacher mister!
A great painting with depth and atmosphere 🎨😊
Very cool, seems like James has the most experience and you can tell in the quality of his painting
Excellent tutorial, and so nice to see what Jeannette and Windsor painted as well.
You're my favorite artist, I find you really inspiring and educational thank you
This is so helpful and you are such a master. I love to learn from you. Thank you so much!
wordsworth once said that the natural and the external world was bland. he said that what separates the artist from a regular man was that the artist could see this bland world and, through his art, create a version that was superior and more beautiful. i think this is an exemplar of wordworth’s idea ☺️
Thank you very much. You are very inspiring.
I cannot begin to tell you how much I needed this, this morning. It really got me out of a funk and you topped it off by showing what the others were painting. Quite neat to see the same scene painted three different ways. Awesome!
Great work again, James! Thank you for including you correcting the height of the horizon!! I’ve gotten disheartened many times by similar “mistakes” but I’m learning it’s important to keep pushing through them.
Wow wonderful painting
Eyes out of focus works great for seeing the big shapes. Cool video!
Enjoyed your breakdown of the steps in this busy scene, always a help for so many. You all and a member of your extended family looked like you were having a good time before the rain came. Windsor, I went to your website and enjoyed seeing your art. You put a lot of heart into your works, so glad you were there for the video also.
I love watching u! Thank u for sharing ur work, u make it look so easy!! Especially when u explain. U make everything look like art.. ☺️
You all took a fairly mundane scene and created beautiful art. Well done!
And thank you James for helping us see the big shapes. I can get lost in details too.
Thank you, this has been very helpful and all three paintings are awesome 👏👏👏
Seeing you edit your painting to make the road lower, and getting the big details in was amazing. Thanks for these amazingly educational videos 🤘
The crickets in the background perfectly accented this, another perfect, insightful, entertaining video.
Great video once again Gurney!
Bellísimo James 💓
Finding your channel really made my day already. You are a very skilled painter! You know structure and layering so well from what I've seen already. Such a humble man but secretly very talented :)
stunning brother
the animation at the end : Perfect !!!!!! i was already amazed by the picture and now the end ! perfect (got nothing else to say)
this video is art. thank you!
Beautiful!!!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗
You are a true artist:)
Love this
That's a very beautiful church on the other side of the road! Great video and awesome paintings!
Imagine walking around somewhere in America and coming across the Gurneys casually plein air painting with Windsor Kinkade.
Fantastic stuff!
I loved how you did the pop-ups in the last few seconds by pulling the tabs. Very original - to me, anyway.😊
The paintings were really nice too. I enjoyed seeing all three.
Amazing!!
Wow, nice. I think they all came out good. Interesting to see the different style interpretations of the same scene.
Fantastic artwork
Excellent!!!!
When you lowered the road and wiped out those cars, I wondered how that was going to work out, but then as the pro you are it was no problem. I also liked the idea of the other painters sharing their work as each person had a different vision of a very normal scene.
