Fine Art TV Series - Colour In Your Life
Season - 07
Episode - 06
Filmed on Location at - New Zealand
John Crump began to show an interest in drawing and painting in his very early years while growing up in Wellington, New Zealand. Encouraged by his parents, he pursued art as a school subject and after completing a year at art school, went out into the world of commercial art.
He realised that it was not the type of art that he wished to pursue and so he chose to go through training college and then into primary school teaching. Painting became a hobby during his teaching years but over a period, became his first love and so, encouraged by an award in the Kelliher art competition and a successful one-man exhibition, he began his full-time career as a professional painter.
Apart from brief diversions into other work, he has over the forty-two years since then, worked at the never ending task of improving his painting as he tries to express his love of the things we see around us - particularly the landscape, but also flowers and still life from time to time.
During the early years, he worked in the studio from sketches. However, he realised that his choice of subjects, colours, and designs were becoming repetitive and so, with encouragement from other painters, he began working ‘plein air' to catch the subtleties of colours and tones, the mood of the moment, and the variations of design ideas that are best seen on the spot. Now, he enjoys spending most of his working time outdoors.
Being in the heart of mountain country has given John Crump an unlimited choice of subjects at his doorstep. He is also able to teach small groups of painters in the inspiring mountain valleys and favourite spots around Lake Wakatipu. When a change of subject is called for, the coastline is never too far away.
His paintings and written articles have been included in books and art magazines, he has held many successful one-man exhibitions and group exhibitions, and has taught adult students in art societies and polytechnic summer schools throughout New Zealand.
John Crumps works have been presented to visiting dignitaries from overseas and have been added to private collections, both in New Zealand and all over the world.

Wow plein air! Thanx
I am off to paint and learn from John Crump again next week. He is a great teacher and all round good guy. Ive been going back over for the last few years learning from him, and anyone who has the time and wants to learn landscape painting ( and the odd pumpkin ) would do well to combine a holiday and painting trip. Money very well spent. …. Great show you have put together Graeme.
Great show. Wish there were one like it in the here in the US.
Wonderful showcase of Australian and New Zealand artists. More countries should show off their artists in this way. Thank-you!
Great fun!
This is my favourite episode, John is a true pro.
Great programme Graeme. Many thanks indeed.
Thanks Adrian, spread the word for us, Graeme
John Crump, the best artist on youtube by far. This is how I'd like to paint. Thank you for the demo. This is a REAL artist at work.
So glad to see more Kiwi art being showcased, especially John Crump. South Island's scenery is utterly fantastic and awe-inducing; any artist who attempts to capture it is humbled.
3:07 the way greame says sorry .. i just wish I could become so soft and polite and respectful like him. Love this man.
Thank you Muhammad. Thats so nice of you to say. Hope you are well sir and staying safe from this virus, Graeme
These guys are Real
MÁSTERS.
Thank you! I paint Plein Air Watercolors and will keep your technique of painting the darkest darks first to set the light.... I paint quickly and will do what you did in about an hour and a half at the most. I always catch myself putting in more details than I should, but feel that a viewer of my work likes to let their eyes wonder around into the painting and find the details over time. We all have different techniques. When I paint in Plein Air Competitions it is always so much fun to see what other artists produce, in the same time, that all of us are allowed to finish our works.
This Gentlemen is a true , TRUE Master of Light and Shadow... Wonderful Video, Take a look at the wicky and Wild crew Painting "Rim to Rim" through the Grand Canyon with Prolific Painter..it is a Plein Air tour De Force, and Hats off to you Mr. Crump for sharing this Gem with us...... What an Inspiration!!
I am so indebted to you guys of color in your life and Graeme Stevenson ....i cannot afford workshops or tutorial DVDs....but you guys have allowed me to have a peek at how the masters work...Thank you guys ...greetings from India.
I cant afford to take classes but i love to paint, this show has become something like a mentor for me. I dont know about anyone else but not only has Colour in your life given me MANY inspirations and opened my eyes to amazing artists i probably never would have heard of but ive learned a great deal and its only intensified my passion for the arts and exposed me to a world i dont get to see much of here in the states.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments Forest, thats what it was meant to do, show all of the world how wonderful the creative mind can be
sweet
Very sweet. :)
Great show! I just stumbled across your video and now bookmarked it for future reference.
Great to have you with us, Graeme
Well I'll be ordering some of those dvds
Very inspirational, thank you from Myrtle Creek Oregon.
I watched this video last night on 4ME & John Crump is certainly an outstanding artist! Plus he is very generous with his painting tips! I learned quite a lot from listening to his story. Thanks Graeme for sharing all these videos of the amazing artists that you meet.
+northcoastize Thanks for watching , make sure you tell your friends, Graeme
What a fantastic artist John Crump is.
Great demo, thanks.
I really wish you could have a television show. Your adventures on the road with other artists could be a valuable asset to a network. Please keep making your videos. You are doing an excellent job!
Thanks Benjamin, yes it has been a great journey. I think the networks are wanting people to just sing and cook, cant make it to complicated for the masses, Graeme
Just awesome and very inspiring, thank you
Thanks John Galt Crump!
This is OUTSTANDING Graeme. Love every one.
Thanks heaps, keep spreading the word, the site and the channels are going all over the world now, so it gives you an idea of the reach that the Artists will have now
I found this channel the past week and I think is amazing, Greame keep doing this great work, and of course this artist is amazing, is like magic how the painting is taking shape... Greetings from Chile!!!
Loved it !
I love your channel! Thank you for showing us these amazing artists ^_^
Loved it.
how can you dislike this -.- mindblowing
A great inspiration to start my morning. Well done.
Thanks, wonderful video
Thanks Graeme for a wonderful show, it means the world to me!!!
you all probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Harrison Elliott instablaster :)
@Shepard Madden thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Shepard Madden It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Harrison Elliott Glad I could help :D
I can't say enough about this show. I used to love drawing and painting. As I got older it kinda faded away. This show has sparked my interest back up to doing some watercolor painting, of which I've never done, but Alvaro Castagnet inspires the hell outta me. Great show Mr. Stevenson
hello from Zwitserland. I had never heart of John Crump. I think you are one of the very best in the world ! Your amazing lights ! literally BRILLIANT. your demo is a fantastic boost to try to do the same !Thanks.
hope it all helps you Else, Graeme
great stuff
Bella pintura
Great stuff John I’m gonna do the tape edge. Aloha
This was so amazing. I am a beginner painter, and now I am so inspired. Thank you for showing us this video.
+Audrey Bronson Thanks Audrey, Graeme
A superb video and very motivating for a beginner such as myself. One suggestion, if I may: I was disappointed not to see a final still or shot of the completed sheep shearer shed picture and it would help a lot to see the finished work. But thanks for an excellent video!
WoW simply amazing! I wanna study with this guy, much love and respect J.F.Jimenez from east Los Angeles, CA USA
we head back to LA next month to film the series again, some amazing talent, Graeme
You should co e out for the Los Angeles plein-air festival Oct 5-9 I'm gonna be painting in that! Should be a blast because we get to paint anything we want around Los Angeles and at the end we will be judge ha ha
This guys work is similar to the Australian painter Wills, who I really admire.
Not Wills...Wilks
Great program, Graeme - thank you.
David The Good Hi , yes he is amazing. We will have many more great Artists over time, so I hope you enjoy them all, dont forget to tell other folks about us. This only helps us to keep all of this going for everyone out there, hope all is well, Graeme
very informative! nice video
16:29 just to remind myself
I am a great fan of these videos
meow
Graeme, did you happen to visit with the fabulous artists over at Paint Basket? Dennis and Nolan are my favorite guys from New Zealand. They have some fantastic stuff on their channel and their live classes are about the best I have found anywhere. If you haven't please give 'em a go and see what their about I promise you won't be disappointed. Oh, and I don't work for them or any thing they are not in any way sponsoring me or any thing like that, LOL! I am just a huge and loyal fan for many years of their classes. I believe they are father and son, I could be wrong but that's the impression I got. Anyway, on to watching the show, I just love it by the way. Thanks for sharing!
Big Hugs!!
Reeah.
+Maria Meade Thanks Maria, we are heading back in November to film more NZ Artists, we are really busy these days with over seas commitments in the U.S. Word has gotten out about how successful this has become, Graeme
Graeme Stevenson (Colour in Your Life) that's fantastic! I've been watching for some time now. I hope it goes global! It's a great show.
thank you for your video... what kind of easel are you using
Thanks for the great video. Love to watch him paint. Saw him on an Andrew Tischler one. I don't understand the need for background music. No matter how nice it's distracting
One of my favourites! Since you are in New Zealand will you be making a video with Richard Robinson as well?
Thats too funny Michael. Richard was sitting beside John at his home in Glenorchy when the file came through for John to look at, so it was too rainy to go out and paint so they both watched it together for the first time. Richard was down there to get new material for another show, How about that!
The easel is very interesting. Is that commercially made or ?? Looks very sturdy and easy to set up.
hey Graeme, I love the show and thanks for this feature on John Crump. Could you tell me if he was painting on oil paper or was it normal paper pre-primed with gesso?
All the best
Carmel
Kevin Speich Thank you! :D
muito bom
❤
who is the producer or who weolls the shown easel?
brilliance personified. i got the feeling though , that john found graeme mildly annoying lol .
+novemberjam No thats just what John is like with everyone
is there some video that goes bit more in depth on the whole "gallery busyness" ? Its an aspect of art Ive always been curious to learn more about.
Hi Kay, yes we do have some but they are on our web site and only premium member's can get to see the webinars. I actually talk to gallery directors about the do's and donts of representation
oh I see, thanks for the fast reply by the way and keep up the good work!
hitting the big time hitting crump
Does anyone know what colors he is using? There are a few shots of his pallet but it is hard to make them out clearly.
+Philip Bohlmann Just drop him an email on his web site Philip. get to know the man, Graeme
Thanks for the encouragement. I think I'll do that. Cheers!
What is the name of the easel?
Thomas Bennett , the easel is made by John Crump. They are exceptionally well made. I have one in Australia that I bought from John a few years back. Not cheap, but so well thought out, designed and hand made.
he speaks about watching videos of Richard ...who? what was the name?
Richard Robinson
Look carefully at the UFO in 0:13 minutes flying in the sky with a very high speed.
well spotted!
Hallo, familie van Schrumpf? Vroegere generatie1
I've looked at lots of videos that mention 'plein air' painting and so far not one person has explained what 'plein air' means. Would it hurt to say, btw that just means open air.
pertaining to a manner or style of painting developed chiefly in France in the mid19th century, characterized by the representation of the luminous effects of natural light and atmosphere as contrasted with the artificial lightand absence of the sense of air or atmosphere associated with paintings produced in the studio. Does that help
Thank you, but I have already found this definition and indeed it was not necessary to cut & paste it here. I was only pointing out that this and many terms are used in art by people taking it for granted that everyone knows the meaning behind them. But maybe some things never change. So, no it doesn't help.
We just finished filming Eric Rhoads in Texas, probably the best known Plein air promoter in the world. I'm sure his explanation will make everyone happy
Yes I watched it and it was excellent, thank you. But, (and I'm sure Shakespeare said something about communication problems with the written word) LOL! - I was meaning that it's like when someone throws a French phrase into the conversation and the other person doesn't speak French. Anyhoo, I think I'll just end by saying I appreciate the videos anyway. (Even though I don't understand Artfrenchspeak. LOL!)
