I agree. Don’t worry about the time. I love watching in real time, as opposed to a sped up piece. Thanks so much!

@susanhepburn6040 6 years ago

Just do what you're doing, Stuart. Most of us seem to prefer your longer videos - especially those of us looking to learn from you. Thank you!

We are fortunate to have access to your teaching. Long is fine for me.

@joannelord5015 6 years ago

There are millions of users on YouTube, most just browsing or killing time. The surfers leave early but those of us who like your style and would like to learn from you appreciate your real time videos.

Long videos...I always watch them all the way through... sometimes I am interrupted and come back to watch the rest. But I usually watch it in its entirety in one sitting.
Another great tutorial Stuart. Thank you so much for sharing your process and your lovely accent!!

Poll - Long videos from Stuart or short ones? 🤚🏼LONG ONES, pleeeease! I could watch and listen to your videos all day 🌹

Time! What's time exactly? I don't measure the time when I'm watching you paint Stuart, because I'm too absorbed. Go with what ever you feel at the moment. Cheers 👍

This is the best demonstration I’ve seen. You just get on with it and so informative. So pleased I’ve found your tutorials

@LiterallyBenWhite 6 years ago

Long videos have their place, short videos have their place, but you’ve got such a large following doing what you do there’s no reason to fix what isn’t broken! really inspiring paintings once more.

@hookbeak3516 5 years ago

Mr. Davies your passive & informative teaching almost erodes the passage of time, where the viewer becomes almost lost within your creative endeavours. Its a moment of sheer pleasure, to watch your mesmerising techniques appear on the canvas.

Your sense of humour is as good as your art. I was a graphic designer so I think that is why I relate so much to your style.

@timclemons8719 6 years ago

Just press record... I could watch and learn all day Stuart. Thank you

@jillmorris1473 6 years ago

People who watch for 8 - 10 minutes are probably just browsing. People who paint stay with you for as long as it takes because you are a great inspiration. 😊

I really love the attitude you paint with! All so true. I haven’t painted oil in over 20 years and I can’t wait to start again. My husband died and I stopped painting but I’m now painting again yay!

@daleknutson38 6 years ago

I agree with Dianne...real time is cool and your explanations as to why you do things intrigue me. "Stay calm, you can always fix it! I'm going to get a tea! Have fun!

@jimcoope7194 6 years ago

Stuart, you are one of the few artists on youtube I always watch from beginning to end! Most of the others. I just fast forward through them (they take sooo long to get to the point!). Then when they finally do, they go high speed and pass right through the stuff I want to watch! I truly love your self deprecating sense of humor, too! Methinks you are too humble at times...thank you for your videos!

@angelaparker7607 6 years ago

I watch right through, sometimes I get interrupted and have to come back to it 😊

@antemercep8844 6 years ago

hour long videos are way to short 😉
Seriously I do enjoy your longer videos and its no trouble at all to sit through them. I often get inspiration to do my own paintings after watching your videos (I need to finish one piece today). Even if they don't have anything similar in style or medium. Don't scorn me but I'm mostly acrylic painter now. Used to work with oils but its not good combination with small kid in house 😂

@sherricoffield3808 6 years ago

Wow, Stuart. I LOVE the way you teach, the way you encourage, your generosity, attention to detail in the little things that actually do enter into an artists head...like: “if you have these lines you don’t like, Don’t panic and keep brushing” or “pay attention to the lines as you go and look for unexpected lines or shapes that you want to keep, don’t just keep sweeping away”. Very important insights that are lacking in other tutorials.

@TiffanyYoung-bv2gb 2 years ago

I love your long format. And listening to you while I work on my own art. Your voice puts me in a zen state…

You also remind me of my grandpa who died 15 years ago, so the touch of nostalgia pulls me in.

The longer the video the better.
