The Sunday Art Show - En Plein Air River Painting - The River Exe in Devon

This week, I'm sat on the bank of the River Exe in Devon for a real time en plein air acrylic painting. Lots of different things to paint in this spot, hills, water, trees, reeds etc. Great fun being outside painting landscapes or riverscapes.

The Sunday Art Show - Black Cow in Landscape Painting

In this real time acrylic painting video I create a painting of a black cow lying down in amongst the heather and gorse up on Dartmoor in Devon. This landscape animal painting features impressionist style distant hills and plants along with a precisely painted cow. Using Atelier interactive acrylics throughout, this video has no soundtrack, so you can just sit back and enjoy the painting of this black cow come to life. This video acts as a tutorial for both landscape and animal paintings. 

The Sunday Art Show - En Plein Air Seascape Paintings

This week, I'm back down at Fistral beach in Cornwall to do some en plein air paintings using acrylic. In this video, I go through a painting from start to finish in real time while sat on the beach and also chat about the other paintings I created on the same day. Had a brilliant time in the sunshine taking in the sea air! Hope you enjoy this week's episode of the Sunday Art Show.

The Sunday Art Show - Watercolour and acrylic - Deer painting - Perfectly Poised

This week it's a real time video of a mixed media, watercolour and acrylic painting of a deer with antlers standing with perfect graceful posture, alert yet relaxed in a woodland glade perhaps. Prussian blue watercolour marker was used to create a gestural line drawing of the deer, then more watercolour lines, dragged through with a clean wet brush introduced soft-edged patches of background colour. Next, acrylic paint was added to the deer to provide bold shadows, light and form in contrast to the gentler background. Hope you enjoy the creation of this vividly coloured, impressionist style deer painting.
