DON'T MESS UP - How I Start a Plein Air Painting 

It would be a good idea to paint the seven wonders of the world in seven days.

Yes, excellent! Sequence of application is very important to results in a painting, especially working alla prima when there won't be any subsequent sessions. Having some logic behind how you apply the paint can also be a response to the processes of nature, or physics in the landscape, like the traditional approach of painting shadows thinly, and direct light thickly. Nice! We'd be interested to know what paints you used on this!

Rubbish could we see the painting finished

It’s interesting to see your set up for bigger paintings on location. Great content as always!

Fantastic work, Patrick! Although my cat must not be the biggest fan, cause she smacked my phone and changed the video halfway through -_-

Do you ever go closer to the mountain to see if you have the right colour? I feel like that’s what I would constantly be doing 😅

Great video, I want more 😀

Awesome video Patrick! I’ve been following on IG for a while and I really enjoy your work. I’m not sure if you’re looking for suggestions, but I think a 10 -15 second intro thats consistent on all of your videos would be really cool right after you say what the video is mainly about. Other than that, you broke down your process and delivered the info amazingly. I’m looking forward to future vids!

Love your no nonsense narrative and your sharing of your painting process. This is the first video of yours I have seen and I truly thank you for sharing.😊

Nice video - the music gets a bit distracting though.

Bukit bebatuan yg indah. Good art work dude......👍🏻👍🏻🌹☕🇮🇩...

Hi Richard, I came across your channel yesterday and subscribed. I'm a self taught amature artist and spending more time on the hobby now that I am retired. I love your work but have a couple of questions. Are you using oil paint? I assume yes as acrylic would dry up quickly in the Aussie sun and How much paint do you go through as your pallet is full of the stuff?? what is the brand and do you buy bulk. You have probably been asked these questions before no doubt.

Loved this. What's the music you used in this video? First half especially. It's so neat!

Seems like the composition should come before the drawing. See @ 3:09

Super happy to see this video. Enjoyed seeing your work in Sedona a few months back and in other places. I think you have alot to say, my only albeit unsolicited suggestion is that your narration should slow down a bit, allow pauses between your thoughts for it to sink in. There is so much you have to share. Really appreciate your video and enjoy hearing your thoughts. Also what a fleeting moment/light you captured! Thank you for this video!

I just found your channel ! It’s brilliant , keep going ❤

😎 haven’t seen anyone using a Gloucester easel in a while, I think it was Stapleton Kearns who I saw was using one for plein air years ago. I was a unable to purchase one here in the UK so I started making plan to build one myself but never did get past the planning stage! Anyway great painting. Looking at your subject I would be concerned about the very ‘flat light’ as it can make grouping values correctly into light and dark tricky but you did great. I was thinking if I was going to tackle such a subject I would be really trying to interpret the sculptural aspects of the planes in relation to the light as the shadows seem quite subtle in the video. You mentioned that toward the end of the video. 🙌🏻

Nice seeing you here on YT, Patrick!! 🙌🏼

omg love this, buy a drone camera haha

That’s an awesome painting!

Hermoso paisaje siempre he soñado en pintar en un lugar asi

Very nice video. You rocked it lol

I played it over and over but i couldn’t understand what you were saying. What is that easel called?

Love the direct narrative, no distractions, just telling what you are doing. And, the sound is good. The background music, I prefer none. Overall, good instruction video. Thank you!

Thank you

Amazing 👏👏👏

I find these videos always so helpful. Thank you Patrik! Looks amazing

Maybe it’s just because I’m so new to oil painting, but how do you do all of this without making a huge mess? are you cleaning your brushes between colors or using one brush per some range of colors? If you don’t use solvents, how do you clean your pallet at the end? All of these details keep me from going out and painting plein air! Any input would be appreciated, but maybe it’s info I can find elsewhere. Thanks either way! I enjoy your videos and your work!
