      i always board quite late since most people just got squeezed in the passage corridor and Cabin aisle in the early 20 min. I'm happy just sitting beside the boarding gate and enjoy my coffee while watching them get squeezed. :P

      @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.

      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.

    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.

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...

    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.

      I question that. There's significant chunks of the painting missing when he starts talking about wrapping it up and then the final shot is noticeably more detailed and progressed. In fact there's so much additional painting between the time he's meant to start leaving and the final portrait, that it's nearly more than what he had done all the way up until that point. Also, when did he find time to clean up and put everything away?

Doing the vid like this is natural for many artists. He's just skipping time throughout the hr, hence why the progression is jumping forward so quickly.

    I’ll never understand talent like this. He’s sitting there in an airport terminal, mixing water colors and painting a gorgeous painting on his lap on a pretty tiny piece of paper. I don’t get this at all. Wow.(Edit: Okay, since some seem to think that I’m a complete idiot and don’t know that this takes years of practice...my comment was colloquial...informal language. Obviously I know this man is a very seasoned artists 😂)

      Jacqueline Rilloraza - I said it with tongue-in-cheek...it would take an idiot to not know the man is a seasoned artist. Give me a little credit 😊. The reason I responded that way is because even if I were stupid enough to actually not know that it takes years of work, your explanation is wrong, because it ALSO takes talent. That’s all. 🤷‍♂️ Sorry
