PLEIN AIR oil painting - FAL RIVER in Cornwall

- čas přidán 23. 08. 2024
- As part of my current series of paintings based along the Fal River in Cornwall, I thought I would do some plein air oil painting at Restronguet Weir. I found a nice little beach to set up my easel and painted the view looking towards the village of Penpol.
The light was dull but it was very calm and a real pleasure to be painting at such a lovely location.
I did a follow up session on the canvas in the studio (which I filmed) to enhance the painting - let me know what you think!
Colours used in the painting:
Titanium White
Lemon Yellow
Magenta
Cadmium Red
Raw Sienna
Raw Umber
Ultramarine Blue
Manganese Blue
Ivory Black
I used a home made oil painting medium consisting of equal parts - Linseed Stand Oil, Turpentine and Damar Varnish. I painted onto a 14" x 10" canvas that was primed with a yellow alkyd oil paint.
Please ask any questions in the 'comments' section
Thanks for watching - bye for now

Thank you 🙏🏻
Really enjoyed your narrative as you went along, almost felt like I was painting it. Always good to hear the artist's mindset. Thank you.
Thank you Jim. I like to mumble along while painting, helps me relax 😃
Lovely👏
Thank you
Beautiful area! You did a great job showing the quietness of the scene.
Thank you very much Judith.
Beautiful painting, what a great place…happy holidays!,
Thank you Veronica. Have a great holiday 😃
Well done, Andrew!
Thank you Robert
Love the video. Very informative regards the colours you mixed. Helps me with my colour process. I love the daily dose of Cornwall as I was brought up there. Now living Bondi, Australia. Keep them coming. 👏
You are so welcome Yolanda - have a great Christmas
Love your start up and the painting
Thank you Jan
Best video of all...Love the medium you used (same as I), French easel (same as mine), toned canvas (same) and looks like 16X12 (like me). Very wonderful piece too.
Thanks Michael. I enjoyed using the medium, I haven’t added Damar before but I have loads of it in the studio that needs using up (don’t often varnish paintings)
I’ll measure the canvas today but I think you’re right on the ball with that too!
All the best 👍🏻
Molto bello..mi piace la tua tecnica..i tuoi colori e il tuo modo calmo di lavorare..senza scendere troppo nei particolari ottieni sempre un opera molto omogenea nei toni.
Guardo i tuoi video e imparo cerco di riuscire anche io a dipingere come fai tu...spero con l'esercizio di riuscirci.
Grazie di cuore per i tuoi video
Un cordiale saluto
ROBERTO
Thank you very much Robert for your kind words and support.
I wish you success in your painting and art endeavours
Best wishes Andrew
What a lovely, calming painting session. Love the location and watching people and dogs come and go too! You made a dull, grey winter day look beautiful as usual.. love the points of bright colour in the distance which attract the eye, the buoys and the boats which guide the eye across the painting. I have never seen cormorants (or was it a shag?) so close to the shore line looking for fish! And the obligatory lazy herring gull hoping to steal his catch! Really great thank you.
Thank you Jennie - I enjoyed including the people going about their leisure time (especially the canoe guy!)
I think it was a cormorant but was fairly small - couldn't miss the opportunity to include him either
Have a great Christmas
@@AndrewBarrowmanArt thanks Andrew. Thank you for all the great posts and films this year. It’s really given me something creative and positive to focus on in these uncertain times. Hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas together!
You are welcome Jennie - thanks for joining me along the way
Nice landscape painting
Thank you very much 😊
Happy new year Andrew, for you and family.... 👍🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Happy new year to you and your family Veronica x
Nice to see someone else using magenta, a colour I always have on my palette these days on plein air sessions.
Thank you. I love it! Started using it by accident really as I bought some second hand paints and magenta was part of the lot.
Now I use it instead of Alizarin crimson most of the time 😃
@@AndrewBarrowmanArt - I use Alizarin Crimson mixed with Cerulean Blue and Ultramarine Blue to get intense purples of various hues so quite fond of that one too especially when sketching in watercolour. Tripped over the mix in the summer when out painting.
Hi Andrew, how are you???? I hope you are very very well.... ☺️So, I wish to you and all your family a beautiful Christmas.... 🎅Rich of gift and a lot of desire.... All the best to you, your daughter, and lovely Basil..... 🎁🙋♀️😊💐Ciao
Happy holidays Veronica! Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year
Merry Christmas Andrew
Merry Christmas Robin - I haven't forgotten our painting day. Been busy with - painting - new year it will be good
Beautiful area and v helpful. Useful to hear what you r thinking as u go along, what choices u r making. Like seeing brush marks up close. Can I ask a dumb question - why do u want the medium to slow drying when it is a quick sketch? Isn’t oil slow anyway. Or did I misunderstand the benefit of the damar. Thk you.
Thank you Maria
Glad you enjoyed the video. Good point about the damar varnish. I have lots of it in the studio and needed to find a way to use it as I don’t varnish paintings. I found a recipe for painting medium that contained it so thought I’d give it a try. I like how it makes the paint go sticky
Very attractive final result but no punch. Why ? Could it be overpainting ?
Many factors that viewers of the videos don’t see contribute to a plein air painting. I remember that day very well because someone reversed into my Land Rover half way through the painting ☹️
I've shared it to Cornish plein air painters
That's great - thank you very much
Bonsoir Mr
J’ai vraiment apprécié votre vidéo , par contre je n’ai pas compris quel est votre médium et dans quelle proportion .
En vous remerciant . Cordialement
Merci - equal amounts of each is good
@@AndrewBarrowmanArt Bonsoir Mr
Je ne sais toujours pas quel est ce médium que vous utilisez pour cette peinture . Lors de vos retouches dans votre atelier utilisez vous toujours le même médium et toujours dans les mêmes proportions ? Car il faut respecter la règle du gras sur maigre ?
Joyeux Noël et mes vœux pour la nouvelle année .
@@lucb linseed stand oil, turpentine, damar varnish. Joyeux Noel et Bonne annee a vous
more turpentine at the beginning = maigre. Add a little more oil as you paint more layers = gras
