Landscape Plein Air Oil Painting Demo 

Always a good morning when I can watch Clare paint and see Mr Bs smiling face. Love this path. Thanks for continuing to post.

Oh at last :-) (but speaking as an ex photographer, teacher and trainer) who took up painting two years ago, a RU-vid artist who ensure the painting is well lit, good close ups of your brush strokes and what most artist miss out is the mixing of your colours, certainly going to subscribed to you. THANK YOU !!

Thank You Both. Been a fan for a while. I like how you show the photo and all that you work through as you paint. I feel you are in the top 5 or 10 artists on RU-vid doing Plein Air. Myself, I learn from every video. Thanks.

This is a simply wonderful demo. So helpful. You (and Mr. B of course) are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing.

So great to have you back Clare. LOVE your paintings, I hope to see more often new videos. They help me a lot. Great work!

Just love how you talk through what you are thinking - hugely helpful! Thank you and thank you to Mr. B!

I loved the initial sketch! Beautiful. For some reason I've always been drawn to the unfinished beginnings of a painting

Hello Clare and Mr B., I am very happy to see you again. I missed you with your beautiful happy paintings and your good mood. Once again, your painting of the day is very successful: I love the subject, the colors, the way you have of explaining your process. Bravo for your work and the support of Mr B.😊

Lovely painting. Thanks for sharing!

Sitting up in bed with a cup of tea very early in the morning watching your delightful video with a chorus of wood pigeons right under my window! But I can’t think of a better start to the day and for some inspiration to get up and paint. Lovely landscape and composition.

Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing the process and explaining as you go. So inspiring! Beautiful countryside!

Had to watch this twice. Missed not seeing you regularly. The painting turned out beautifully! Welcome back!

So very happy to see you again. Thank you for your very helpful instruction. Loved the scene. ❤

Lovely painting! You are so blessed to have such beautiful scenery to paint. Thank you for sharing this with us. And welcome back, I missed your posts!

So glad to have you back- I love this painting and the colours you mixed. You explain everything so clearly too. Thank you 😊

Loved your painting and the commentary of Mr and Mrs B. Learned a lot from this demo. Many thanks for sharing

You are just up the road from me in Chichester - so lovely to see the view down the lane from the Trundle painted in your lovely style. Another fabulous demo - thank you!

Thank you for your generosity in this fabulous demonstration & commentary Beautiful work

pure visual massage to watch Clare and you two love bunnies! I love your enthusiasm!!

So glad to see the duo back again!

Well Clare, I think this is one of your best , captured beautifully, love it, thank you so much xx

Love this! Cobalt violet and raw sienna. Great combo. Thank you!

Good to see you and Mr B back again - and in my neck of the woods! It’s lovely to see how you tackle rolling downlands especially how you edit the composition, I always find I get a bit overwhelmed and lost looking at ALL the fields and working out how to paint them!

thanks Clare...great to see you back! Love your youtube channel!

You are the best plein aire teacher! I learn so much regarding composition and color. Thank you

Glad you're back Clare. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it and found it very informative - great watching you.

First impression painting is always more striking and stays in the mind...excellent Clare .Thank you!

Such a great video, lovely to see you and Mr B again. It really is so interesting listening to your thought process and then seeing you put that onto the painting. Pukka ❤

So nice to see your painting process! It’s great to have Mr. B filming and giving us close up views of your palette and your easel!

We all definitely missed you both, it’s so good to have you back and what a beautiful painting - thank you for helping us with lots of tips and advice X😊

Hi Clare! I am so happy to see you again! Welcome back. I missed you and Mr. B too.

Missed watching you both! So happy to see you are back doing plein air!

Beautiful! It looks just like my hiking trail in El Dorado Hills, CA. I coul swear that is what you are painting. My trail has Folsom Lake in the distance. Thank you! So happy you are back.

Yay!! So very happy to watch another fabulous video. Missed them. I love the light in your artwork. One of the main reasons you are my favourite artist.

Excellent job of explaining color mixing and decision making as you go!

Great work, Clare! You got the local colors spot on! I like the use of the Cobalt Violet as the underpainting. Nice choice!

Great demo Clare, as always. I did miss you and Mr B and I’m glad you’re back!

Great to see you and Mr B again and thank you for another wonderful painting session! Lovely composition and your colour mixing is amazing. Really enjoyed this. It's been so rainy here in NZ I can hardly wait to see these rich summer colours again! 😊

So happy to see you and Mr.B again

Welcome back Clare and Mr B! As usual, you've captured the essence of light in your painting and also demonstrated how overlapping can contribute to the illusion of depth and perspective.

I love your videos and paintings. It really helps me(beginner) to see the photo as well. Jo

Yes, we definitely have missed u both. Looking forward to more painting.

Thanks, Claire. I was wondering where you had gotten to! Turned out really nice, and so helpful to see your process of thinking through a painting. Thank-you :)

Your finishing touches are wonderful. That's where I normally muck it all up.

So good to have the team back on form. Thanks for the detailed mixing and composition commentary, this is so helpful. I shall try to use more raw umber, such a nice result. Thanks so much Clare xx

YAY! It's so nice to see you again!

Such generous love sharing!! Adore you darlings. And oh so lovely painting! ❤😊

Thank you both for these lovely videos and their great quality. Really enjoying your channel! ❤

This was a lot of fun to watch, as well as very relaxing. For a hectic day like mine was, this was the perfect antidote, in that way that art forces me to slow down, whether I'm messing around with my own stuff, or simply watching and observing. There's something almost magical about your and Mr. B's dynamic. He interjects questions like a very interested, informed outsider, and you both take turns being proud of each other. You do an amazing job of explaining your process, and it looks like you've conquered the issue of changing light. Needless to say, the painting itself turned out great, and it was fun watching how it evolved from start to finish. Great stuff!

Great to have you both back!

Wonderful to see how you work. Your paintings are amazing.

Welcome back Clare and Mr B, so glad you are back, always love the end result of the paintings. 😊

Thank you for a great demonstration Martin, I love following you, you give me so much inspiration. I will give this a go

I really admire your conviction and boldness. That you do this for others and not yourself is refreshing.

Missed you too. Your videos are beginning a form form favourite and a comforting watch and listen as I potter around rather like the familiarity of the Archers or the Shipping Forecast!

Welcome back Clare and Mr B, I missed you both! Another fab demo Clare.

Great to see you again Claire with Mr B. From Mary Ann in Queensland Australia. My family lived in Tonbridge Kent.

Very much enjoyed this paint! Glad to see you’re back!

Woo hoo! You are back!!! I really missed you guys and your lovely painting adventures. Great painting. Loved Mr. B’s Claire impression. Keep up the great work. Xx

Clare, so glad you are back !!

Hello to you and and Mr. B. I’m in Salisbury North Carolina USA. I loved watching your video and learned so much. I’ve been painting forever but only started Plein air in the spring. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos and I did subscribe.

Every morning I check your channel before anyone else's for new content❤. So happy to see another video from you and Mr. B! You have been sorely missed. I love this painting and the way you explain your process is so helpful to a beginner. I'm sure I will be watching multiple times!

Uwielbiam patrzeć , jak ustawiasz plany na samym początku. To dla mnie najtrudniejsza część pracy. Na ogół nie wiem od czego zacząć. Wspaniałe kolory. Piękna praca . Pozdrawiam serdecznie

Hey 👋 Clare! It’s great seeing Cornwall through your paintings.

Great video. I'm just moving from years of wildlife painting to landscapes. This is very helpful.

Missed u! Your color mixing is stellar! It really helps broaden my understanding

Been waiting for you! Thanks so much for always sharing such helpful info

Love the painting. The veiw was great tu paint best wishes Christine and Ken xxx

Brilliant! I learned so much from this video.

Great to have you back and Mr B back videoing. Some the USA Plein Air are coming to the Great Smoky Maintains National Park to paint for a week in Sept. They are asking local painters to paint one morning, I may join them in painting our down town area of Maryville TN.

Inspiring!.. Beautiful.

Hello Claire and Mr. B. Welcome back both of you. It is nice to see both working hard and enjoying the sunshine together in s beautiful landscape setting in West Sussex. Which I know is one of your favourite places to visit along the South Coast. I really appreciated watching you painting this lovely landscape view and listening to your commentary about the format and the colours you were choosing and mixing on your pallette. The most amazing thing about this landscape is that it sounded like a very active place, with numerous people out walking with their dogs or their families. Also the air itself was active with helicopters and planes flying overhead, but not at any point did you allow that noise and bustle to shake your confidence or your communication with us, the viewers. Despite all that went, you managed to create a very lovely painting and the colours are amazing. I learned too that one does not need to paint everything one sees in the landscape because, "Its too complicated..." It was interesting to note how you made the foreground tree the main focus and you omitted anything that was not necessary to contribute to the overall composition. Thank you Clare and Mr. B., for this excellent video as I loved every minute. Take care now, Looking forward to more of the same in the next one. Cheers. 😊💯👍🖐️🍺🌹

I was excited to see that you posted a new video! Thought maybe it was too onerous for you. So happy you are back Clare and Mr. B!

Thanks for your sharing. This is a beautiful picture

Serendipity strolled my way this morning here in the Adirondacks! I happened upon this particular video in my feed of this gorgeous chalk path painting. Yesterday, I made the jump to a 12 by 36 inch canvas featuring as my focal point a beautiful gravel road with puddles used as an access road to a fishing site on the St. Lawrence River nearby where I grew up. I had wondered if by choosing the road as my focal point was a mistake but when I saw your painting and the view of the path as your topic of interest, I knew I made the right decision! I can’t wait to continue working on it now, after viewing your gorgeous work, Claire! Thank you and Mr. B. for making my morning coffee time extra special! ❤❤❤😊

Greeting to Clair & Mr B. from the US. Missed seeing your videos. Beautiful place to paint plein air. Always enjoy your painting process.

Such a lovely video. 👍🏼

Beautiful painting! Thank you❤

You two are so cute and always cheerful. 💕💕

Piękna okolica, wspaniały obraz!

Wish I was there, painting! Interesting point about the semi transparency of Raw Sienna vs opaque Yellow Ochre.

Oh, you guys! YES! Missed you! Was just thinking about you the other day, wondering if you'd post again. Wow. Am I psychic or what! (well, yes I am, actually) 😁🥰💖

lovely painting!

Great job, Clare! Very nice art! Btw. I noticed that it had to be cold out there. Well, at least here in the middle of Europe, we have heatwaves! Have a nice day!

Thank you Clare, 🎉

bravo, i might challenge myself to do a watercolor revision. thanks for the inspiration.

hello i love your paintings ! keep it up ok! fellow artists from Wooster, Ohio USA

Thank you si much! Very Nice learning ! I Will follow you!

love it. can you talk about your easel setup sometime. i am not familiar with this one. i so love your painting sessions and it is indeed good to see you again.

Welcome back Clare😍 I have been waiting for you to do another plein aire painting. Where have you been? Taking a sabbatical? Whatever you have been up to, I am so glad you and Mr.B are back! Is it cool where you are at? I noticed you have on a jacket. Man, we are under a major heat wave! 🔥💥☀️ Gulf coast in the States. This scene is amazing… would love to be there. The ocean off in the distance, is so beautiful. Time to sit back and watch you paint this lovely scene😀🥰

Very nice! Thank you!

Excellent work!

Hi, it's funny how you can miss someone you have never met! Glad you are back.

I decided to make comment #14, in case anyone is superstitious about having 13 comments on this splendid come-back video. THANK YOU both for this, and I hope everything is well and you are both healthy, and happy. Interesting to see the use of cobalt violet. I always learn from you how to start thin and build up opaque lights slowly. Loli 🙂

Your apron is a statement of beauty, in art.
