Michael James Smith
I’ve been an art lover for as long as I can remember, a professional landscape artist since leaving art college at 18, and more recently a YouTuber and art instructor. Painting runs in the blood in my family. My father is also an artist as was his father before him and his father
before him. I’m having a blast following my passion as an artist, trying to improve in all aspects of my trade. I’d love for you to feel the same way as I do about art and in particular painting realistic paintings. If painting’s your passion or you’d like it to be, buckle up,
take a deep breath, let’s get painting!

I've developed my oil painting techniques over the last twenty five years in order to create vibrant, photorealistic paintings. Even if you are a total beginner at painting with oils, there's something for everyone at Michael James Smith Tv.
On average a full length tutorial is between 4-20 hours, filmed in real-time with no time-lapse content at all.
I'll teach you all you need to know, from the basics of colour mixing, through to painting a detailed and realistic masterpiece.
