JUST GO PAINT: On the Plein Air Circuit (Grand Canyon Celebration of Art) 

"I've satisfied many a collector with Rimjobs over the years". You know damn well what you did there. Great stuff 👍🏻

Spectacular video about and amazing place the talented artist who paint this the Grand Canyon.

I want to be a part of this paradise! O__O Cant believe this kind of people exist! It is very rare in my country Bulgaria to find and gather two plein air artists - to organise auction afterword is just another dimension. To feel this urge stimulated by the public and the end date must be great catalyst. And that Grand Canyon = duuudeee this is such a experience!

What a great video, Josh. You are a natural teacher and your energy is flipp'n amazing! Kuddos to Rosie for making the trip down too.

That was extreme plein air painting. Loved all the view and trails you showed of this beautiful area. Your paintings were amazing too!

Rosie!! ♥️ Thanks so very much for sharing this with us, Josh. You've really summed up the trials and triumphs of painting on location.

As another Plein Air Painter to another, thank you for making this wonderful video of you and friends painting! I have become addicted to painting Plain Air and just can't get enough of it. We as a whole, must get the peoples of our world more interested and appreaciative of our Art Form. Watching you and friends, and I mean friends, I got tears in my eyes. I wish I had friends to paint with here in my neck of the woods. I have a small group of painters on a list, but that is all it is, a list. I pick a location each month to paint at and rarely does anyone ever come.... So frustrating for me. Anyway, I paint mostly alone but have the best fun and gratification producing my specialty, Watercolors. Please keep up the great work!Thanks with a huge hug,Mike N.

What a treasure to find. I hiked down the Bright Angel Trail when I was 19 years old, well over half a century ago. I'm finally getting to paint, in my older years, but I have to settle for vicarious joy of Josh plein air painting there. I'm going to get out my old photographs tomorrow, and paint along with this video.

Thanks you for taking the time to make this video! Its really cool to see all the efforts that go into plain air. I would love to go to this event sometime.

Awesome video, Josh -- brought back some great memories of painting the Canyon with you guys!

Bravo!! Wonderful work and narration. Completely enjoyed. Hope hubby gets to go there some day. I will enjoy through works like yours and your compadres.

Man, watching this makes me want to get my paints back there as soon as possible. So great!

Joshua...I am also painter. I love painting landscapes. I will be involved in my 1st Plein Air Artist event in Sedona, Arizona this October. I am very excited since I have not been to Sedona yet, even though I live in Las Vegas, right next to our National Spring Mountain Park. You are incredibly inspiring. Your video here, JUST GO PAINT....was greatly helpful. I LOVE your art. You are an amazing artist~ Thank You..!!~ Kimberly

Beautiful photographs and video! Thanks has been years since I saw the Grand Canyon is nothing like it in this world!

Very nice work, track, festival and video! Bravo...

Well that's cool. I just learned 65 new things! Thanks---Awesome!

"I've satisfied many collectors over the years with rim jobs. " I lolled hard, you snuck that in there.

Awesome video, Josh! Thanks for putting this together!

Amazing! Thank you for sharing!

I'm 2 minutes in and I already love this film...!

Your paintings were great! The canyon looks really beautiful

Josh, is there ANYTHING you don't do supremely well? You're like a renaissance man! LOVE this video and the words you use to explain and express what we need to know.. Thanx for sharing

Great video. Thanks for putting it together and I look forward to future episodes.

You are a modern master Josh. Really impressive video and clearly a soulful experience.

Excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing it. What a lot of work. I hadn’t realized all that goes into those events. I have your book and it’s great 👍😉

As a professional environment concept artist working completely digitally I really enjoyed watching this, thanks for sharing! Makes me want to get into plein air even more.

Amazing RU-vid video. Glad I have attended one of your workshops as the video meant that much more. Glad your success is following you down the path. Jane Mercer, Durango

I'd say you are one bad ass pleine aire painter and videographer! This is great!

Great story and commentary---Thanks for sharing!

Awesome, Bro. Nice work. I've been doing a lot of backpacks into Grand Canyon to work on art over the last 8 years. What a magical experience! I'm a total unknown as an Artist, but I'm really enjoying myself.

really awesome and inspiring video Joshua! Thank you!

Love this!

Excellent video capturing all elements of this event.

This video is amazing. I really wish you still made videos

This is so freaking cool!

Awesome stuff Josh, so inspirational!!

Me encanta esa iniciativa de pintar al aire libre, creo que es especialmente un deleite para el alma. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Really enjoyed the video!

Wow. Great hustle!

Josh- Great vid- great work. But what else would we expect! Keep the faith. Peace out- Shawn

artists teach us how to see. LOVE IT!

Such an inspiring video, makes me want to go to one of these events. One suggestion- shoot in HD next time!

Love it Joshua.

Very inspiring, thanks.

very good collective plein air , nature is great .

Great video, id love to see your most used colors on your pallet

Absolutely brilliant best thing ive seen on you tube for a long long time, makes me want to be in the grand canyon (UK based ) also what was the little pochade you did your notans on ive never seen one of them

This was an awesome video! Do you plan on posting more documentary-style videos in the future?

This is such a great video - thank you for sharing! I've never done plein air painting, but I want to get into it, since I'd like to improve the environments in my work. I'm just about to take a workshop with Roland Lee and you've got me inspired to get at it!

Hope such an event like this one in France!

I like your plein air easel , where can I find a similar one ?

Great stuff

Very interesting and a beautiful place to paint but it seems that painting is being turned into a sport?

Very nice, Joshua! Good to see some views of the Canyon other than the "stock" ones everyone does, usually from photos; you know, "standing on the precipice", looking down, and across. Boring!!!!, after you've seen your first 200 or so! Guess you need some good legs and back to get down and up the Canyon though! So, I'll be up on the rim, looking down, too! ;)

Hooray ...!! The Brand NEW Film is out on da U-tube:>"Rim to Rim: Grand Canyon Celebration of Art 2018" and it is lookin' SWEET... A document that testifies to All the Love and Invention it took to produce the Entire Body of Work, combined with no small amount of Blood , Sweat and Tears! I truly hope that You All ENJOY The ADVENTURE!!!

Felicidades 🎊

Thank you wonderful

Thank you guys for commmenting!! "The Ageless, Rosie Sandifer" is one of my heros!! Had a lot of fun filming it and HUGE props to my videographer, Brett Carollo!

The sketch pad you used - is this something you purchased? I like that it combines pad with the pens in what appears to be a zippered case for easy carry and use. Could you name the brand? Thx

thank you for a very inspiring video! Beautiful scenes! Only one thing I Think could be different: the Music. It makes it hard to hear your speak.Music is ok but not with lyrics and more that take over everything else. lounge or Classicmussic that tones out when you speak. But I really like everything else!

Hey Joshua I ordered your easel but doesn't know when it's coming. Could you please come back to me.

How do they deal with drying of the paint if it is sold the next day? And varnishing? The buyers buy them vet?

Buen video

painting competitions !......who ARE these people...by the book plein air painters...........it's wonderful that we now have uniform codes of painting...it was just TOO confusing when artists painted in so many different ways.........................and now it PAYS real damned good

i was so excited to see joshua been on you tube but so extremely disappointed when. trying to hear what he was saying being drowned out with loud music. why can't people talk without music??????

Great

"I've satisfied many collectors with rim jobs over the years".... LOOOOoooooooool..... LOL, niceu niceu.

great, you travel and painting;)) you are free

"I set a goal of 15,000. Which means I had to paint a minimum of 30,000 for the whole event." Does 15,000 and 30,000 refer to dollars?

Good

Some people are incredible artists but they don't have the money to travel all over the place and get their name out there. So they can't get into these competitions because they don't have a name. I think competitions should be open to anyone.

13:50 shot says a lot

It's all mileage...

Nice video but turn the music down so we can hear better

Hi the music is too loud I can,t hear what you're saying bring it down a bit!

Can’t hear you over the music at points.

hmmm... yes. Rimjobs.

Dam.....I trying so hard to listen to what u are saying but the dadgum music is way to loud. I will leave. Don't need the music.

Too much talking but nothing of painting demonstration man , but thanks anyway .

Come to Islam n success

painting with sun glasses ? and a wet drench shirt ? with a stiff face expression ? you cannot control nature specially the heat.

Quality of most of the fashionable 'plein air' paintings are certainly quite mediocre and shallow w.r.t content. With all the expensive gears, transportation facilities etc they cannot reach the standards of 19th c artists. Imagine Hudson school artists producing those wonderful sketches traveling on horseback. They could have gotten killed during the expeditions.
