Plein Air Painting in Sedona, AZ đ” Relaxing Art/Travel VLOG
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 19. 08. 2024
- Join me as I explore, hike, and paint Sedona, Arizona. Despite it being a hot July day, the trip was so stunning and peaceful. My day started with the sunrise and then an early hike on the Mescal Trail. The landscape was so immediately breathtaking that only about a mile and a half along the trail, I stopped to try to capture it in paint. The watercolor & gouache sketch was painted using my travel sketchbook/art journal and a handful of colors. My art supplies, materials, and color palette are listed below. Afterwards, in the afternoon, I took in the town. Ending up at my hotel for a calm evening.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Beautiful
Hello fellow Arizonan! That is too cool. Thanks for watching and for the kind comment. Arizona is just so diverse and beautiful. Some of the best painting in the world. Cheers!
You are now one of my paint gurus. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Awesome entertaining writing, filming, editing and production, all for free. Amazing times, I hope you do well with it.
Wow, thank you! That is the nicest thing anyone could write. They do take a long time to make. I am just so glad you have enjoyed my videos. And I will try to live up to being a paint guru. I appreciate you taking the time. Cheers!
Wow, amazing, relaxing, beautiful scenery. I admire your courage to go out and paint. I think a lot about it when I go places, the first things I say is: I should have brought my paints with me. This is how far I get. It seems intimidating but obviously very rewarding. Congratulations. Last year I bought a set of watercolors and gouache. I have tried the watercolor, I liked it but went back to oils. Iâm still thinking trying the gouache. Your work is amazing. 10+ minutes of video but I bet a lot more work into it. Thanks so much for bringing so much inspiration and balance. Awesome work.
Crisalida!!!! It's great to hear from you again. Thank you so much for your kindness. I am so glad you liked the video. Going out into nature and painting is very intimidating, but sooooooooo rewarding. Just go into it with the mindset that what you make will NOT look like what you see... there is just no way to capture everything. So you have to leave with an impression of what you saw and what you experienced. The paintings will always look so much better when viewed away from the reference. Just have fun.
Glad to read you trying different media. That is too cool. I at first did not like gouache. It has a steep learning curve. But now I love it and it is one of my preferred mediums. Give it a chance. Anyway, great to hear from you and thanks again.
What a delightful video! Shout out to Talenti Gelato for making the best little containers in the game
Haha! They really do. Thank you, Brady! That means a lot coming from you. I hope you are well, my friend.
Just subscribed. đ Don't forget the little guys when you've got 1,000,000 subscribers !!
Thanks for the sub. Appreciate your support. And thank you for the kind words. No promises... haha. Thanks again! đ
I LOVE THIS !!!!
Minha!!!!! Thank you! I am so glad you liked it. It was so fun to make...but it was way too hot outside. :)
Beautiful work Michael.
Many thanks, Lukas! I appreciate that. I hope art school is treating you well. Pima misses you! Well, I miss you.
wow great painting !
Thank you so much đ You are very kind. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
I believe I took a painting class IRL from you before, good to see you pop up in my algorithm! I still think about those lessons often.
Awesome! Thank you! Wait... when? At Pima?
@@michaeljohnnolan yeah yeah Pima I think it was 2019 or 2020 I took painting and color theory, really enjoyed it.
Glad I found you!!! Your good!!
Me too!! Thank you for your kindness and support. Again, I am so glad you enjoy the videos. Cheers!
Amazing as always! The cinematography btw omg every frame dances even in stillness.... really wonderful uplifting video thank you !!!! đđđđ
Thank you so much!! Your words are so kind and so humbling. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for being you.
Beautiful work! I always think of watercolor as such a challenging medium, but you get wonderfully specific detail in your work.
Thank you so much đ You are very kind. And you are right, watercolor is the hardest medium around. We just have to hope and pray it turns out okay. Thank you for watching!
That is so pretty, kinda makes me want to start watercolor painting... but part of me feels obligated to comment on the green. so pretty.
Awe...thanks! Do it! Start watercolor painting... start now! What greens!? I don't see any greens...none. :)
Very cool! I'll have to take some paints on a hike. Hope y'all are well â€
Nice! Thank you. Hiking and painting is a real pleasure. I highly recommend it... but on a non-summer day. Thanks again.
Gawd, part of me wants to so tap out and do something like this. Alas, I know I'll be the forever weird one and just be like Ensor. Drawing from home and doing what I'm doing is safer, I guess.
Do it! Haha. Painting in nature is quite freeing... as long as it is not too hot nor too cold... so basically a perfect day. By the way, I checked out your channel. Nice drawings! Great line work. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Cheers!
@@michaeljohnnolanWhoa, someone looked at it? I thought all the views were mine! Thanks dude. :)
Maybe if I ever quit teaching, I'll consider it. But right now I enjoy my line of work too much. Maybe summer? Regardless, you rock! I'll definitely be watching more.
@@NY_Mountain_Man Hello fellow teacher. You are so right, teaching is so rewarding and fun. However, it requires a lot of our time. That's why I am still inconsistent on getting videos published. Anyway, congrats on your channel, keep up with it. And thank you again. You rock! Appreciate your support.
@@michaeljohnnolanYou're a teacher? That's cool. I essentially teach like Strong Bad. It seems to work. Wonder what your style is.
@@NY_Mountain_Man Haha! Strong Bad, that's perfect! I NEED to take your classes. Yes, I am a teacher... for almost 20 years now. I started very young in my early 20's. Anyway, I kind of teach like my videos, but with the occasional swear word mixed in. I teach at the college level. What level and subjects are you instructing, Strong Bad? :)
This video and the painting are lovely! Is it both watercolor and gouache? Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much! I am so glad you liked the video. It was fun to make. And yes, good eye... the first layers were watercolor and the final layers I mixed in some white gouache. Cheers!
can you make videos on the human figure more? and Rhythm, thank you.
Funny you would ask... I am just about to publish a how-to video on drawing the eye. And yes, I want to do a series of figure drawing and painting videos. Thank you. Cheers!
When will you start posting again?
Awesome! Funny you should ask... The next long format video comes out either this Saturday morning or Sunday. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching.
@@michaeljohnnolan hooray!
To be honest,
I dont have anything special to say.
Just want to add comments so your YT
grow and you succeed :)
2k here we come! hehhe
(Tip - pump up shorts. I believe it will launch you quickly.)
EDIT - Personally, I don't care much for watercolor, gouache, or acrylic,
as I learned and was inclined to see oil as the pinnacle of painting.
Therefore, other mediums lack the "high-end" value of oil.
So... My question is basically, why do you use other color mediums and not exclusively oil?
Furthermore, I guess I just need to be convinced somehow that paintings
created with mediums other than oil are valuable as well,
but I can't find the connection yet.
Sorry for all this mumbling, hehe.
Thanks in advance, and sending love from Israel :)
I always appreciate your comments. And thank you for looking out and helping me. You're reading my mind... I have shorts coming out for the next few weeks while I am working on my next two videos. Pardon the lack of videos, CZcams had been a part-time gig taking a bit of a backseat to my full time teaching job and producing gallery paintings.
And I totally agree with you, oil paint is the pinnacle and it is all I use for works that I sell. Oil paint just infuses such a life into an artwork. It is the only medium I have used that can even remotely capture the realness of reality...turning an image into an object. Watercolor and gouache do have a unique and beautiful look while possessing wonderful textures and dynamics all their own. Mainly, I enjoy their ease of use and ability to travel with them. Thus, I adore them for work in the sketchbook and quicker plein air studies. Acrylic just doesn't know what it wants to be or what it can be. :)
Not at all, I enjoy your mumblings. Keep them coming. Thank you again for your awesome support. I started this channel as an aid to my teaching and classes, but now I am really starting to love producing videos. I am dedicating a lot more time to it now. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for the reply.
I am saving thoose words (comment), and will enjoy revisiting them :)
It really does impact me!
