THE IDEAL ARTIST VACATION🏔 plein air oil painting + hiking in Yosemite 🌿 dreamy art/travel vlog

- Plein Air Painting for the first time at Yosemite National Park! In this travel & art vlog, I’ll share two alla prima oil paintings I made at Yosemite, breathtaking mountain views, and relaxing hikes. I’m challenging myself to try new things to grow as an artist. Plein air painting was very daunting at first, but I think I learned a lot from our two days in Yosemite and it's so rewarding to see my oil painting confidence grow! It’s an exhilarating feeling when the painting finally comes together and you have a physical momento of the beauty you spent hours looking at. Combining my love for travel, nature hikes, and painting was really an ideal artist’s vacation. Let me know if you enjoy this kind of vlog!

I just finished a drawing course and I improved my art so much! I realized that just making lines and basic shapes can change and improve our drawings. Also today I have a real life art class and I am excited!
That’s amazing!! I miss my art class days 😊
Literally every one of your videos the moment you say "Thank you so much for joining my art journey today..." my heart sinks. Your videos are beautiful.
Aw thank you 🥺💖
Beautiful paintings!! To answer your question, I am challenging myself by focusing more on the drawing side of painting. Most days I find myself wanting to jump into all the beautiful colors right away. But I am trying to take a step back and focus on the values and shapes of what I am trying to create by using charcoal 😊 it has been a fun and rewarding process.
That’s something I need to practice more too! Thanks for the reminder! Wishing you the best Alicia 🥰
I’m 60 and retired last year. Getting back into art. Really had to get over the fear of “messing up”. I think that constraint bleeds over from my previous corporate life. Thanks for the encouragement. I’m learning to let if flow and just enjoy the moment. Also we went on a camping trip out west last May and I plan to do some watercolor sketches of our travels! Right now just capturing a few beautiful things from our local walks! Beauty is all around! Best!
Hi 👋
Gorgeous plein air paintings! You’re right it’s so challenging when the light is changing but that’s also the fun of the challenge. You really captured the light on both of them. Great job!
It is a fun challenge!! Thanks so much Danny.
I love how you are looking to get out of your comfort zone, it's really inspiring, thank you so much for such great videos.
Thanks Paula 😊 it’s been fun trying new things!
I just got off work, I have a freshly made burrito I made, a cold can of pomegranate tea from the fridge and a new one of your videos!! Now this is what life is about😍💗
Ahh that’s sounds like the life!! Enjoy 🥰🥰
Plein air painting at Yosemite- What a treat! Thanks for taking us along
Thanks so much!! 🥰🥰 glad you could see it this way at least haha!
This is amazing! I love the vibe of your videos and of you in general. Keep up the great work! ^^ Also thanks for motivating me personally, because every time I see your videos I feel the need to take a brush or a pencil and create ANYTHING. :) Sending love
Aw that means so much to me Ulrike! Much love 🥰
I wasn't able to paint for over 15 years and now I'm trying to get back into it while I work full time. I'm challenging myself with taking my own reference photos, exploring layered underpaintings and painting nature as a background. You're right! You need to simplify nature when you paint it.
Super excited to watch! ☁️✨🍃
Thanks for the video Ashleigh :)
Also, congratulations for 1m views on ur first video! :D
Thank you so much!!
My language is Persian and I am glad that you also put Persian subtitles and thank you and this made me very happy
The last painting is CHEFS KISS😫😌🤌❤
Ahh thank you!! 🥲💖
Please don't make us wait too long. We miss you and your beautiful picture😭♥️🤝
Comfortable and beautiful to look at I've had a hard time in my life, but when I look at your videos, I get a comfortable feeling.
thank you, wishing you the best
I find it really inspiring how you try and push yourself out of your comfort zone to go and try new things! It gave me a lot of motivation to try do that myself. Thanks Ashleigh ^-^
This is in my back yard. It's nice to see it through someone else's eyes.
I love your videos and watching you paint. I had dabbled with drawing here and there but never took it seriously. In the last year, I have been loving colored pencil drawing of animals and posting them on my IG account. I've started to get commission requests even though I had only started drawing because I enjoy it. You are right, you are never too old to start. Thank you for sharing your journey and being an inspiration.
So incredibly happy to hear this! Wishing you the best!
It's so beautiful! 😍😍
Bliss of nature, art and honest thoughts made a beautiful journey! Thank you for taking along and for encouragement! Be blisfull 💫
Aw I love that summary 🥰 thanks so much! Have a great day 💖

What a wonderful trip. You paint so good. Keep it up. Thanks for this video with its beautiful scenery.
It was a great time! Thanks so much 💖
Enjoyed your Yosemite trip, thanks for taking us along.
happy to hear that!
As an extremely young artist I have always compared my art to others who are much older than me and have had way more experience which brought me down a lot. But ever since I watched your first video I have been practising week after week and I have improved so much over just one month. I love your art and this vlog so much and whenever I feel a major lack of creativity I know where to go!
I’m so happy to hear that Edwina! I find watching those with similar experience as myself is so encouraging too! Wishing you the best on your art journey! 😊
Another amazing video! Glad I could make an appearance in this one 😉
Me too! Thanks for showing us around 😊
being a high school student I have challenges everyday and no time for art. I actually love that you are a nature lover and I always relate to your videos
I understand that, wishing you the best! Hopefully you’ll get some time to create soon 💖
INCRÍVEL ESPETACULAR MARAVILHOSA MAGNÍFICA...
3:09 to 3:29 I really felt that lol some times we have to get out of our heads and just let it be.
Wow! This vlog is so relaxing and you are such a unique artist!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos
Thanks so much Shanelle!
This was so soothing and inspiring to watch, youre honestly living the artistic dream
Thank you! I am trying 😊
this looked like such an amazing trip, those views were so gorgeous! i've had art phases throughout my life and even though i feel like i've found my passion in yoga, i still love listening to others talk about it... thank you for the reminder that art is always there if i want to go back :)
thanks so much Kimmy! I'm happy to hear you've found your way of creative expression! but yes, art will always be there when you're ready :)
love youuuu!!!
🥰❤️
You painting in incredible I like it soooooo much you always inspire me 💖💖💖🔅
you are beautiful artist ❤
You are actually Beautiful Ashleigh. Keep it up with these vlogs. We left handers know how to draw :)
Thank you for sharing, that a beautiful place
Of course! 🤍
I love your art .... love you..
This art vlog video is super amazing and beautiful!! I also think it was a sensitivity vlog video.
Absolutely, painting needs inspiration. Also, travel too required for this. Thank you very much!! ✨😍
Thank you so much! That's very true!
This video was the best. Ao beautiful and relaxing ❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
...love your work on this trip! To me it is very Group of Seven... love it!
thanks so much! I looked them up and can definitely see the resemblance!
I'm really grateful that you keep going and that you post videos of your process! One of my challenges is that I can no longer use my dominant hand to hold pencils or brushes. Two years after injuring it I'm relieved that I can finally use it for small, quick things like cooking and shuffling a deck of cards, but it still has no stamina for writing, drawing, or painting. I've worked very hard to build strength and improve precision in my left hand, and I am finally making art that feels expressive again.
I find it very helpful to watch left handed artists work, and I just started working on oils, so your videos really help me a lot!
Aw thanks so much Zeph! Wow I really applaud your dedication to making art with your non dominant hand. I can’t imagine how difficult that must be. I’m so happy to hear you are making progress and wish you the best! 💖
Eres una gran artista con muchos conocimientos que linda arte brindas , saludos desde Argentina y muchos éxitos , sigue tu inspiración y corazón , se ve que vas por el camino correcto!!!
This is absolutely marvelous... to watch... to listen to... to feel the bliss of the each sketch, each painting, each reflection. I grew up just three hours from Yosemite, and our family would camp there every summer... and ice skate there every winter... and yet every thought of it is still so like an Eden. Thank you for bringing it to life again for so many of us. 🤗
Oh wow thank you for such a beautiful comment! So happy to hear that 😊 it was my first time there but I can understand how it would never get old!
@@AshleighKing So hope you get to go back! Your art is absolutely amazing!
Yosemite 🖤
🥰
Apenas veo este video, en mis vacaciones de abril salí una semana de vacaciones y me quedé en un hostal, tome fotos, tome una como referencia y pinte una acuarela, jamás pensé en usar esa para el concurso de mi escuela, realmente empeze otro dibujo y no quedó como quise pero afortunadamente tenía la acuarela que hice en vacaciones, y gane el 2do lugar en el concurso 😭💖
I love your artwork
Thanks so much!!
Was so excited to a new vídeo❤️
You inspire me to continue learn with my mistakes and grow with my art. I'm also very inspired to do a in nature painting
Aw I’m so happy to hear that! Wishing you the best! Definitely try painting some landscapes when you get the chance 😊
trong video có nhiều phong cảnh đẹp và đó là nguồn cảm hứng cho nghệ sỹ sáng tác. một buổi thực tế ý nghĩa của nghệ sỹ
inspiring
Thank you for sharing this amazing trip and plein air painting sessions. I was there as a little girl sixty years ago and need to go back. Your pieces are amazing.
Oh and to answer your question, I am venturing out and delving into oils and plein air this year.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Wishing you the best with oils and plein air paintings. :)
@@paulahaynes6131hello
What a beautiful place on earth , nice content as always 🙏
It was amazing! Thank you
Ugh I loved the last painting! I was focused on the big shadow of the mountain too I like how you captured that and the results were amazing considering you had limited time.
Thanks so much! Sometimes time constraints help me focus on what’s most important in the painting 😊
Finally , I was waiting for this video for so long .....I'm so happy know 🥺💗

Thanks! It was a fun challenge!
I stumbled across your channel, and it's so great to find another creator in the art/travelling crossroads! I can't wait to see what else you're up to :D
You are such an inspirational artist! Every day I dream of this, take me into the forest and paint, it's so beautiful the view and doing what you love is even better. I hope you as an artist continue doing this and never stop! Pleaseee!
So kind Daniela! I hope you get the chance to do the same soon! 🥰
I like this video.💜💜💜💜

Thank you for this visit of Yosemite! It's an amazing place, I'll try to drive from Canada to get there at least 1 time in my life. I like your art, nice painting and sketch!

Hope you feel better soon ❤️
This is such an amazing vlog! Thanks so much for these precious contents 😍👏 Hello from Italy 🤗🌼
Grazie mille Monica! 🥰
Great video dear friend as always.
Good job❤❤❤
Thanks so much Andreea! I appreciate you 🥰
I took a trip there last year. I only had time to paint at one place, I picked the same spot, The Albert Bierstadt view.
That’s awesome! It’s an amazing view
Hi ashleigh! I love the mountains that you painted its so pretty. I just sold my first two paintings. Both of them are still lives. ♥️
Thank you! That’s amazing Pippa!! Congrats 🥰
@@AshleighKing thank you✨
Really enjoyed this video 🥰 your paintings turned out so beautiful. Definitely want to try plein air one day :)
Aw thanks so much Marlene!! You absolutely should! I love your landscape paintings 🥰
Sounds like the three of you did the hiking the way I consider the "right" way...stopping to enjoy the view and be present in the moment, rather than rushing through it to log miles. Like avid surfer and Plein Air guy Michael Chamberlain says, "It's all about the joy!" Your paintings and drawings look great, and it looks like you captured the main shapes before worrying about the details. That's a great pro-tip for taking on massively daunting subjects like live natural phenomena under shifting sunlight. These days I find myself with one foot each in digital painting and 3D modeling, often incorporating both into each project, with my only real goal to capture silly, fun stuff.
Haha I prefer that type of hiking too! I watched some of his videos before going on this trip and they helped me a lot! Thanks so much! The time constraints really helped me not to focus on details too much. Both of those mediums sound so intimidating to me but I’m glad to hear you’re having fun with them! 😊
what a wonderfull place! I feel like i was with you there) I would like to visit this place.
aw I love that! I hope you can one day!
Your video has calmed me on a rather anxious day 🙂
I was very artistic and talented when I was younger and was influenced, as you were, to go down the stable route. In my case, it was Civil Engineering and I stuck it through and then went into technology and consulting after grad. Now years later, I see my talent and eye have diminished and have made me rather crappy at drawing (dont even get me started at painting). This pushed me further away from it even though I really miss it a lot.
I've taken up pottery as a rebound activity recently lol - if I am crappy at it, that's ok, I have no history with it! And maybe that would help me lower my expectations and get back to drawing for the pure pleasure of it.
Just thought I'd share as it seems art always brings out the emotions in people. ❤️
I completely understand Saria! But I’m so happy to hear you’ve found a new creative outlet! Finding a way to create for fun is the most important aspect of art to me. I hope to keep that even as I work on it full time now. Wishing you the best and hope you keep it up 😊💖
I love U artist 🌹😍
Art is a talent if you are interested then you can do it by yourself and you don't need anyone to teach you don't give up on a few hate comments
Hi king nice art with vlog beautiful video nice day 🌹♥️🌹👍
Thanks so much Naseem!
