Yikes I was painting and came upon this for help with grass. This person's art is incredible. I am going back to my kindergarten painting now and cry.

When you said 12 subscribers I was like "what, no way" so I looked at how many subscribers you have now and it's over 1 million. Good for you 👍

[harberiondeanothemagician]

only a dozen subscribers. I'm new to painting and your work has inspired me so much. I'm not so much amazed but grateful that your channel has expanded to the point where it was able to touch my life and inspire me to start painting. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you @Michael James Smith for bringing me into this wonderful colourful world.

So realistic - I'm resisting the urge to get out my lawn mower!

[DavidGuyton]

From about a dozen subscribers to nearly 50, 000 in 9 months. That is impressive.

This video has been SO helpful. I'm currently painting some cows in a field and have been driving myself mad trying to figure out how to do the grass! Thank you so, so much! You are a fantastic teacher. :)

[dianehoweart]

Amazing grass and so life like. I love the way you put so much work into the painting without making it look overworked. Awesome!

[jtpaar]

Love your techniques, sense of humor & the humble premise with which you attempt to teach us your insane talent. I've used acrylics for years and know I can incorporate many of your techniques, but watching your videos reeeeally makes me want to switch to oils!!
Now I'm off to watch more of your fantastic tutorials! Thanks for sharing.

[ChaoticMoira]

That is amazing. Thank you so much. I will be working on my grass for the first time today as this is a huge help.

[geoffheath]

Thank you for showing me the way.You are not only an excellent artist but an excellent teacher as well. Your calm laid back approach to your demos is nice and not talking over music is such a bonus, good luck. Geoff.

I absolutely love detail and that is precisely what's attracted me to this art. The world is such a beautiful place. I am so lucky to live in such a gorgeous part of our English countryside and because I do I'm definitely giving this a go! Exciting times ....thank you Michael : )

[jocelynetemple]

Thank you Michael for helping us to paint !

[bahirahensemble]

Beautiful! No one could have convinced me that this was a painting... except that I watched you doing it!

[psydwaindah]

This is one of the few truly helpful videos on Youtube!! Thank you, sir!. Just about all so-called tutorials are nothing more than ego-based time lapse "Look at me!" clips You actually teach and film in real time! Very very useful!

[ahamill]

Thank you so much for these tutorials! I've taken college art classes but I think I've learned more from watching your videos than the classes I took.

[estheraxenty]

I just recently watched 1of your other tutorials on Rocks, I then typed your name at you tube and found a lot more of you with various tutorials, you do define details and It caught my attention, more than most other artists on you tube, your explanation is so helpful.Thank you!

[mountainmummanz]

this is stunning man! And i love the humour and the self deprecating tone 😂 calling yourself a twat and yet this is brilliant 👍 absolutely awesome, love it.

[highphysics]

Wow! This is exactly what I've been searching for.The intricate detail of the grass in the foreground is brilliant. What a delicate touch you have. Beautiful work.

[danielmcswain]

I am a 3 month old newbie to painting and I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos !!!!  Thank you so much !!!
