Plein Air Oil Painting | January landscape in Cornwall 

I've come back to this for another look (and best wishes to Basil, hope he's better than he was 5 months ago). I conclude I couldn't do this - it's the chasing of the clouds I couldn't do, leaving aside all the physical stuff about getting out there in the open air in the first place: you can see why people use photographs - their clouds don't move! Trouble is, they then look as though they wouldn't move in their paintings, and it is indeed very difficult to make a sky look alive if you've not painted it from life. But there we are, one tries. Anyway, came back because watching you paint, and listening to your thoughtful mutterings, inspires and encourages me to get the paints out again: even though I have a lot of paintings lying about ...

I am AMAZED at your ability to paint in rough weather!!!

Lovely contrast and colour.

Loved the video Andrew

I like it. Has a promise of Spring. That seems to be a nice corner where You were painting again.

Ottimo lavoro. Complimenti.

What a mastermind night beach!

Where was Basil? We want Basil.... Sorry, one does get trivial and non-aesthetic. All the same (love your sky blues) we still want Basil.

Spectacular - you make it look so easy 👏👏👏

Always love watching your videos!

The sky is perfection!

So happy to see this plein air video to pop up! Lovely painting! I see some new colors on your palllete as well. NH got its first snowstorm of the season today…finally! I hope you get some snow soon, too. Sounds like hungry chickens in the background at the end? Hope you’ve had a lovely & relaxing holiday with your family and wishing you a very creative and prosperous 2024!

Hi Andrew ... really like the abstract qualities of the clouds using the side of the brush and the pallet knife scraping produce nice shapes and atmosphere of the sky ...

Love this Andrew , great wee painting too ….missed your plein air oils, was a lovely surprise to see this on my feed , thank you

Loveky colours. Vehjnd you usc a nice scenery for metal point if you are so inclined 😊

Beautiful painting. Thank you so much. May I ask what size/type that smallest Rosemary brush is (do they call it a rigger?) (the one you are doing the fine lines with) I do a lot of 6x6 inch canvases and lack a good quality tiny brush so find it nigh impossible to do those very fine marks. Thanks in advance.

thanks. how do you manage to transport a wet oil painting home?

Whats thsts sound in backgrounds, sounds like rushing water
