MICHAEL JAMES SMITH
WELCOME
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!
COVID-19 update. Our small team are working from home where possible and with limited staff on site, there may be a few days delay in dispatching your order. We are also experiencing minor delays to most destinations but significant delays to destinations that have been hit hard, often due to hold ups in customs. Tracking information is also not being updated as regularly as usual. Despite this please be assured we are striving to make sure you can continue to receive the tools you need to keep painting whilst you're staying at home. Thank you so much for your continuing support.

MICHAEL JAMES SMITH TV
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 4-13 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.

"THATCHED COTTAGE" Open edition print
Image Size 12 x 12 inches
This print is made to order and is delivered rolled.
With a beautiful thatched cottage as the focal point and plenty of vibrant, floral details, this scene is such a classic that I decided to release it as a giclee open edition print. It is printed on conservation quality paper using light-fast inks.
Since 1st January 2019 official Michael James Smith prints have had an embossed certification seal on the bottom right corner of the white border. Any prints without the embossed seal purchased after this date are forgeries.
