Yes, thank you so very much for the extensive education you've shared with us here, it's very much appreciated.  You've spoken of things I've never even considered in my paintings before, and that I'm certain I will never forget while painting again.  I'm sure that listening and watching your videos will undoubtedly cause me to be a better painter, for which I want to thank you!  I've learned so much from listening to a couple of your videos, and can hardly wait to listen to the many videos I see you've made here.  Once again, thank you for your generousity, as I'm certain there are quite a few artist who are sitting at home studying your videos who feel the same way I do.  Naturally I've subscribed to your channel and have recommended you to a few of my friends!  Best of luck to you and yours, and happy painting!

Sorry YouTube only allows one like!  But I'm only 1:37 into this video and already pausing and giving it a like.  You could stop right here and I would be grateful!  Looking forward the remaining 27 minutes  --   Many thanks!  😀  EDIT:  I'm at 11:34 and this is more educational than anything  I've ever seen!  He seems to be charitably sharing information in only a few minutes that I'm sure has taken very personal experiences, dedication, insights, and a long time to learn.  I've never seen a YouTube contributor this generous.

I just finished reading Carlson’s book & I was looking online for some artists who were referencing his methods but in a more modern way. I really appreciate your channel! Wow. Your paintings are gorgeous and I love the way you draw examples from art history. Thank you so much for this!

Thank you soo much! Iv been a long time and never thought to make  plains and horizon lines with a curve.. Thank u for showing us the beautiful old masters paintings. And yours. Beautiful!

Your statement of the keys and illustrations are a tremendous help.   I’ll be rewatching this!   Your paintings and color studies are beautiful.

Your last painting was stunning. Loved all the examples of other painter’s works and great the way you break it all down. Really enjoyed your small study of backside of the Teton mountains. It was dramatic, loose, and expressive 😊

Phil, thanks for making it clear about the planes and values in a landscape. The explanation and demonstration of the meadows and flat plane of the earth , vertical strokes in the front and horizontal strokes towards the back along with value change was very helpful. Thank you for the lesson🙏🏽

This talk is so concise and thorough which is very helpful when navigating so many issues in painting! You work is delightful and reflective of the beauty not our southwestern and western United States… Txz jeanne

Thank you for this lesson. I am so glad that I came across it. Inspiring.

Very inspiring!!! Thank you!

Very helpful thank you.

This was a needed and timely video for me and I love the paintings. TY

Good one, again, Phil on the principles that underlay all successful paintings, simple value, form, brush work, changes can make, or break your work, if you don't understand their importance in a painting, and apply them. Good examples you show demonstrate this, especially the B&W images that show the values clearly.

Interesting side note is that all or most of those old scenes in California, done 100 years ago, have changed much since then, like the vast fields of wildflowers, covering the rolling hills, for miles to see, that Redmond painted, now have as many houses there today as there were poppies and lupines when he painted them. Your own works show there are still relatively "untouched" landscapes in places like Wyoming, where run away housing development has not destroyed the integrity of the landscape there, like it has throughout much of the USA. Many of these old paintings, done in an age without color photos, show us vividly, and heartbreakingly, what we have squandered in terms of natural beauty. That is a valuable lesson and warning going forward that we often ignore, worldwide. So, fellow artists go out and paint the beauty of today, wherever you may find it, since that could all be lost tomorrow, is my message I guess.  : )

This was incredible helpful.
