Thank you so much for showing us how to do an autumn scene in oils-far different than acrylics. I plan on doing this one! I’ve only been painting for a few years and you have taught me a lot. Your encouragement means the world to me, as I still struggle with the fear of the canvas. I feel like I’m in your studio right next to you! ❤
Hi Stephen I watch uou from time to time ,you are really good, I love the way you explain everything you make it sound so easy, I know it's difficult to copy at times but as you say,I can make it my own ,thank you so much for all your hard work, I'm 72yrs young,& still enjoy painting...
I just found you & subscribed ! You make it look so easy , I finally learned how to make reflections. Cannot wait for next Friday,thank you & God bless! Btway, love learning more about rocks , especially underwater ones. Excellent teacher , I love the fact that you show us what colors to mix…👏👏👏
Wish it was as easy as this to sort my house out with just a dab here a streak there and a little white with a nice purplish shading. You sicken me with dab,dab,dab,swish,swish,swish and alittle just a little ... and that's it a feckin painting, brilliant! I just wish I had bought your paintings years ago would been better than my money sitting in a bank.
Hi Stephen, I am 69 yrs old and have recently taken up learning to paint…I had a foray into watercolour first, then Acrylics, which are ok but dry too fast…I now venture into an affair with oil’s, which I love ….the diversity of uses, plus the added bonus that I can spend a couple of days and still be able to work the paint…brill !!! Anyway…I recently (2 wks) discovered your youtube channel…and I have to say, without creeping, that of all the tutorials that I have watched over the last year or so, only yourself and a New Zealand artist ‘Sam Earp´ impress me with your teaching style….not only do you tell me what you are doing, but why, and what colour mixes you use, also with explanation of reason why….ie: where sand meets water in ‘Painting a beach’ to prevent it going green… The main important thing that I have learned from you, is that I don’t need to reproduce ..but to give a version that is mine. Thank you in advance of future tutorials, which I look forward to.. John James

Dear Stephen thank u so much for ur reply. It really motivates me and encourages. U r wonderful.
Oh gosh! I found you again! I lost your channel and have been hunting it for long! Gosh I need your tutorials!
Lovely painting. I was thinking of trying this but use a forest floor instead of water because I am afraid to try the reflections.
That sounds lovely also... just keep it nice and simple with a fan brush..
just discovered you! thank you for tutorials.
when you say wet canvas with turp. can this be substituted with odorless mineral spirits ?
Hello Crista. Yes can use spirits also..perhaps you could add a little linseed oil into it also..that will help the paint flow even better
Stephen however hard i try my paintings never turn out like urs.
Not everyones paintings will be the same my friend.. you will find your own style.. keep going and keep it simple.. im sure your paintings are wonderful and masterpieces in their own right... be patient my friend..
Keep trying. You will get better.
Where have. Your acrylics gone?
