@Bobby Brady Same, i love to do trasfer, especially in DBX. Love that giant soft carpet and i can finally have some cold drink after a quick stretch. It's so refreshing.
Unless I have a large carry-on or am flying Southwest, I don't really care when I board, the less time I stuck in a crowded seat, the better. I've never really gotten the appeal to boarding first. I like being able to charge my phone and use the restroom in those few extra minutes.
How crazy that this dude is actually the author of my favourite book in childhood. The dinotopia and just found him randomly on youtube many years later.crazy
At last I've found an artist who can properly show how he paints, not in a "painting by numbers" kind of way but by showing the thought processes as he tackles the subject. I love the touch of having his watch strapped on the side so you can see how long the stages take.
I've been following you and your books for years! I was a professor at Cal State Fullerton and saw you when you came down to the art department! You are awesome as always! I am retired now but I continue to follow your amazing work. You always inspire me and I especially like the painting of metal like in this aircraft but I also love your scenes of nature! Bless you! And thanks for sharing your love and talent of painting with the world! 💖🤗
That's the point of life painting. If it doesn't bring something new to the scene and doesn't look better than a photograph, then what's the point? An expert painter like Gurney can simplify and exagerrate a scene to make it more pleasing to look at.
Oh my god, I didn't realize you were the author/illustrator of Dinotopia. My brother, sister and I grew up on your stories. Your books bridged the gap between society and nature, igniting my imagination. Thank you so much for your point of view!
@@synckar6380 no no no, do NOT swallow paint. Colour has no effect. If you have swallowed an acid, seek medical attention, if you cant, consume an alkaline solution which will cause an neutralisation reaction in your stomach.

@@blackcat-mp7kh Gouache is uhhh... more opaque than watercolor... but they're pretty much the same. You can paint using watercolor techniques (glazing, edge pulling, etc...) with gouache paint... and you can also use gouache as acrylic paint, and it's actually better because unlike acrylics, gouache takes a little longer to dry, which allows you to mix color more freely...

Very nice job! I've always taught my students to make believe they are focusing a pair of binoculars; start with larger, vague forms and gradually sharpen their image as if it were coming into focus.
Absolutely a masterpiece. The depth of the perspective, even the light reflected under the nose of the plane and people working under the plane.... Gorgeous
I just got Bob Ross'd? 1 sec he was like "i should wrap this up". Next sec "here we are, all done" Dude all we're missing was a story about a squirrel.
I'm an artist but only worked with oil. Then I tried watercolor when my husband didn't like the smell of the oils. So for YEARS I never painted. But I didn't know how to use watercolors. I could not get that transparent look. Then someone suggested Gouache. I knew less about that. But I got a few tubes and I liked it better. I saw such realistic pictures for illustrators using gouache but HOW did they do it? Watching you just taught me what I needed to know. There will be no stopping me know. This little painting is beautiful. It's as realistic as I want. Sure, more details can be added but that can easily be done at home, later. Thank you for your great tutorial.
The painting is beautiful, I love it when classic painting techniques are used to create images of modern technology around us. But what has me in awe here is this guy held a water colour set in his lap and just casually did this while waiting for a plane. I would be way too anxious to attempt anything like this while waiting for something important and I would definitely spill dirty water all over myself and ruin my day. How does one handle life so well?
