You are such a joy to watch. Your finished painting reminds me of George Innes. And, yet, you make the whole process look fairly easy! You are blessed with being a fabulous artist AND humor. What lucky grandkids you have🥰
UMM...YES. BUT I GO ON TO OTHER WONDERFUL DEMONSTRATIONS BY STUART, SO I'M AWAKE MOST OF THE NIGHT, AND MOST AFTERNOONS TOO, JUST LOVE HIS APPROACH TO PAINTING. BUILDING MYSELF UP TO HAVE A GO...JUST NEED A BIT OF COURAGE.
some days I enjoy your personal comments as much, maybe mor, than the finished oil . I've painte a few, mahbe 20 or 30 lanscapes based on your teaching . Most are worthy of coment;; some few regretable but all deepening my respect for your fine way of teaching.. .enjoying the struggle(it is) tp paint original stuff. John Hoag, Esq.
👋Hi Stuart, I love what has come out of the "mess", very beautiful 😉 I also love your painting technique, small talk etc and find there is nothing about your videos that I don't like. The one thing I love as much as painting videos when I don't have time to paint myself is reading, and that's the reason why I ordered your book. I'm quite sure I'll love it as well and I'm going to tell you. That's a lot of "I", I know, but it all comes down to having a very good time when watching you do your paintings. Looking forward to the part 2 of this, thank you and have a pleasant week. ❤
Very very beautiful! Again, it was very exciting to watch. A path among the trees looks so real. I really love your painting technique, style, tutorial and all kinds of tricks. I hope to see the second part of it. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I have just started following you and you are a serious inspiration for me to be a better painter. I just started a bit late in life but how I love it. I get lost in what I am doing, Im not that good yet learning techniques for myself but watching you you make it less complicated. I hope I can become at least a 10th of good to what you do. Thank you for sharing your gift to all and I do hope you are feeling a bit better with your back pain.
Your lessons have added a lot of sensibility to my own approach to my artistic efforts. I am now more forgiving of my work and I carry on instead of giving up. I thank you.
Amazing! You can do so much with what you start out with. I’ve been using your ideas with much success. Thank you so much for sharing your instruction.
🎨 Lol Stuart you were particularly nutty and charming in this episode. I really enjoyed it and the picture looks very cool . . and interesting 😎 Thank you so much for being so generous with your time and talent !!
Just 8 minutes in, and it already looks amazing. I find myself watching your videos all the way through, because of how interesting it is to see the "mess" evolve as you go. Every stage, I see a composition that is short lived only to be replaced by another random composition. Thanks for the inspirational videos. I've been watching your videos on and off for a few months now, and they really give me a fresh perspective.
You just made my day. I've been trying to figure out how to make the colour you've made with sap green and red ochre. It's the colour of most vegetation in Australia, lighter and darker versions of this. I also really like the idea of making a mess and seeing what it looks like and turning it onto something too. I can't render anything that actually looks like the photo I'm using as reference and this is generally what ends up happening. It generally starts looking like something else so I turn it into that something else..and then someone asks "where is this?" Well actually, it's nowhere. It just evolved as I worked.
I especially love the tonalist style of this painting. My great aunt, Esther, took oil painting lessons in her eighties and we love her paintings. My hope is to learn well before then. Thanks for these lessons!
Just love it. Stuart! You always make me think of some of the Dutch Masters, with their wild and woolly compositional elements in just these hues. I wish the two to three brands of sap green I already have were as useful/natural looking as the brand you use. But I'm bookmarking this to paint along sometime, as your style is truly very freeing. (And yes, folks, it really is as easy as it looks.) I was gobsmacked the first time I experimented with this technique -- and it dried remarkably fast too. Another 5-star lesson, Stuart. No wonder your student came all the way from Cali....
This was a delightful notification to find in my subscriptions. Enjoyed this very much. Occasional slower word recall is another benefit of getting older. Happens to me often. Instead of a happy accident, what about calling it a, “happy surprise,” or perhaps, “a delightful mistake?”
In Ohio (middle west of the US) has many trees that are more regularly shaped. A typical neighborhood will have maples, crabapples, pears etc that not only have a fairly regular shape, but the colors are much brighter than many of your paintings. I wonder off and on whether this is the natural landscape of Europe where I've never been. The greens are often very bright green with a lot of yellow and some blue. There don't seem to be many greens that have a typical red ochre mixed in. Very odd to my mind to see these differences.
Again thank you Stuart for an interesting video = magic: I have a question - how do you present/mount your paintings for an exposition eg. Do you make a special simple frame construction ? I have looked through your videos - can't find anything. if possible could you let us know ?
Hello Stuart ,you painting is very nice,i like you style ,at here i want to ask one question what suibtable plywood can be use to paint with oil colour?
I have painted my first painting using your technique for one session, I like how it came out so far. But I don’t know where to go from here. I am unsure if adding more colors will ruin the effect or if it is ok to mix with white paint at all. It looks magical now but unfinished and I am afraid to ruin it!
Hi Stuart, is it possible that the contact on your website does not work? I had some question concerning the lessons in Brossac. Maybe this way it works?
@@StuartDavies I sent a mail on the contact site 1 minute ago (18.46). Hope that it arrives. Just in case it does not here the question send: How about lessons in the range end september/start october. Is there a possibility? Kind regards L
Like your style so much and enjoy watching your process, but ,sometimes yearn for some " suggested lifeforms" ,Even a few birds would suffice. I particularly enjoyed your "shipscape" but as an Old salt was disappointed that the rigging was only on the starboard side'thankyou for your tips and tricks. have learnt so much.
"Happy surprises" instead of happy accidents"😊. It has been quite a while since your last video although you said you would be painting more often. Maybe you are posting more on facebook but I am not there so not seeing them.
Several painting from the past few weeks seem to have a lot of browns to them. They've begun to look like daguerrotype overlays. Just saying. Not negative or positive. I wondered if you'd noticed.
Yes, they are mostly the first stage of the tonalist style. When I have a large stash of these I will go through them to show how to add colour. Tonalism tends to be dark and moody.
happy accidents .. mischievous marks .. flippant filberts .. lucky coincident .. perspicacious dabs .. blind squirrel finds a nut (could work as "bs fan.") Before my accident, I use to tell my pianist friends that I played better by accident than they did on purpose .. clearly you paint more like breathing than we would on a ventilator.
That's nothing. My brain doesn't engage with reality some days. Can't remember words, but if I do "remember" a word it isn't the word I want. SOOOOOOO frustrating.
Your voice sounds strong and your energy was high. I trust that means you are feeling well.
You are such a joy to watch. Your finished painting reminds me of George Innes. And, yet, you make the whole process look fairly easy! You are blessed with being a fabulous artist AND humor. What lucky grandkids you have🥰

Within 10 minutes of watching this I was inspired to work on an unfinished painting.
“Chance mistakes change to pleasant surprises.”
You make me laff out loud. I love your painting and humor. I can watch these over and over. Calming and interesting. And fascinating. 🖖🏼
Thank you for doing these videos, you have helped my painting immensely.

Always enjoy watching and listening to you paint. Total inspiration for me to approach that naked white canvas.

Stuart, watching you creating is so wonderful. Attending the birth of a new world for an hour. I can’t await the glazing. Thank you very much
I just love your comments! So enjoyable ! Your instructions are amazing! Thank you!
I just love listening to you! My painting is nowhere near anything showable, but I keep trying and am grateful for your guidance. Cheers!
Thanks so much this was lovely...you are one of my favorite artist ever
Thank you so much 😀

A very enjoyable session, as well as inspirational. Thank you again
I like those accidental surprises, which is the way I see it
thanks Stuart, will see later what you with the sky, glazing.
As always, I have learnt a lot. Thank you Stuart.
I like "meaningful messes" as opposed to happy accidents. Thanks for sharing
What a wonderful valuable lesson. Thank you so much for showing how to do so many techniques.
Wonderful painting! -A magical land, all while having fun! 🎨🖌 Cheers!
Thank you! Cheers!
Your lessons have added a lot of sensibility to my own approach to my artistic efforts. I am now more forgiving of my work and I carry on instead of giving up. I thank you.
Even just like that it is unique and beautiful
Thank you for sharing
🎨🖌💕👋
All very helpful. Started painting in 1967 , I’m now 75 & still at it. Winnipeg
Amazing! You can do so much with what you start out with. I’ve been using your ideas with much success. Thank you so much for sharing your instruction.
Great fun. Such a pleasure to watch and absorb. Thank you for the pleasure of your company.
glad to have another! awesome stuff
It's so soothing to watch
Another good lesson. I am learning so much from your videos Stuart, thank you!
LOL at your written comment around min 51. Great lesson Stuart, always a pleasure, educational & inspirational & relaxing ;-)
🎨 Lol Stuart you were particularly nutty and charming in this episode. I really enjoyed it and the picture looks very cool . . and interesting 😎 Thank you so much for being so generous with your time and talent !!

Marvelous mistakes! Would work. Another awesome work of art
Love love love!!!

Absolutely love this! Thank you so much!!!💚💚💚
That's so awesome!!!
It's been a while since I watched your videos and I have really missed you.
I was STUNNED by the finish art piece!!! Loove your videos they always relax me u have that kind of warm tone of voice 🧡
Fascinating, thank you.
Always a pleasure to watch and be inspired by your spontaneity !! Wishing you all the best in life and health.
love this one - the field of view feels really similar to the human eye. very nice indeed.
Call those "happy accidents" "serendipitous events" 🙂 Another superb video, Stuart!
Always learn something,brilliant as ever.😘❤️❤️❤️
Got to watch in the morning thanks
Yay a new video!

Simply genius! What a great experiment to do. Love your work.
I’m refreshed to see you here !
I will watch every minute
I might no have the time at this moment to paint, but maybe in a couple of years I am sure I will go back to this videos to help me painting...
I especially love the tonalist style of this painting. My great aunt, Esther, took oil painting lessons in her eighties and we love her paintings. My hope is to learn well before then. Thanks for these lessons!

Beautiful.
Very nice. I like the lesson on compasition
Loved it. Cant wait for part 2
Nope!!! Still here. Loving it!
Please STUART do some desert 🌵 things please.
GRATEFUL!
Very interesting and helpful.
Stuart, I have got to finally try. Had hand surgery and it is still sore. Beautiful!!!!
This was a delightful notification to find in my subscriptions. Enjoyed this very much. Occasional slower word recall is another benefit of getting older. Happens to me often.

What an interesting place to go.
Wonderful.

Over here we have a saying. "I'd forget my head if it weren't screwed on." LOL
I forget whole days stuart hahahah
“Pleasant Surprises”
YES, WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS, IT REALLY IS A "PLEASANT SURPRISE".
Hi I'm Jill ,my mum introduced me to you earlier on this year and I must agree with me mum your fab
How do you prepare the canvas? Are you painting on wood or canvas? Curious.
Again thank you Stuart for an interesting video = magic: I have a question - how do you present/mount your paintings for an exposition eg.
Do you make a special simple frame construction ? I have looked through your videos - can't find anything. if possible could you let us know ?
I don't bother with exhibitions. I have a far bigger audience on here.
Still here..lovely
painting from the imagination, with Stuart Davies.

Let it dry for a few weeks before you add any more colours, then if it goes wrong you can wipe off and try again without damaging your original work.

How about 'fortuitous mishaps'?
Or 'Pleasant blunders'?
Happy accident = Providence. You remind me a lot of Len Hend. He used hardware store brushes too.
the right hand corner... for a long while looked like a Halloween abstract for a long while, like a group of reapers...

Happy little accident/Unintentionally inspiration!

disastrous opportunities :)
When you are losing a word it may be you are in right brain

happy accidents .. mischievous marks .. flippant filberts .. lucky coincident .. perspicacious dabs .. blind squirrel finds a nut (could work as "bs fan.") Before my accident, I use to tell my pianist friends that I played better by accident than they did on purpose .. clearly you paint more like breathing than we would on a ventilator.
🙂
Instead of ‘happy accidents’ how about ‘unintended details?’
May be instead of "Happy Accident", you could overuse "Interesting" or "That's Interesting Now".
happy accidents... or lucky strokes...
Battery operated brush... hahaha 😂!
That's nothing. My brain doesn't engage with reality some days. Can't remember words, but if I do "remember" a word it isn't the word I want. SOOOOOOO frustrating.
Pleasant anomalies?🤓🥴
Fortunate errors, advantageous mistakes, recoverable misfortunes, or just features :)
