Hope you enjoy these 10 TIPS for plein air painters and Full DEMONSTRATION!
Please give me a like and subscribe if you enjoy the video!
Thanks for watching! Let me know what aspects of painting you would like me to cover in Future Videos in the comments below!
I appreciate the nuances of painting light in the landscape- would like to see some ways to handle light on a rocky and snowy mountain scene
I’d really love if you could do a video on broken colour. There are only a few videos on it on UA-cam and they don’t really go into how to go about selecting what colours to use or why. A more technical explanation of that would be really useful.
Also, how to move away from the colour in a reference (be it life or photo) and to push colour in your painting. Not sure how to do that and I know others who struggle with it too.
Cheers!
Perhaps next year the journey will go out west to the Rockies!
I love ❤️ the amount of information you give 💓 in this interesting💓💞 video thank you for the💞 beautiful💕 video you shared with all of us, a big hug and good luck in what you do. thanks for sharing stay tuned,,💕
What was the actual elapsed time for this painting start to finish?
Great work, Roy. Since you make a strong point of "you should make a sketch", please show the overall scene that you will paint and the sketch. That way we can see what you have seen and how you have subtracted from it in your sketch. Thanks, Malcolm G.
Just posted a new video with your recommendation, take care!
Thanks for the advice.
You're welcome Dyana!
Thank you so much! I’m going to watch this again and again. So much great information.
You're welcome Dale, thanks for watching! Hope it gives your next painting something extra!
Love hearing the practical tips! It's nice to have a demonstration to see what you're talking about too
Thanks Laurel, I appreciate it! Anything you want covered in the future? might take me a while to get to it but eventually
@@PleinAirSchool Nice of you to ask! Maybe: color theory in landscapes, your favorite supplies/brands and where you buy them, things that you've learned through experience (or trail and error), things most people dont know about plein air, or just more painting demos! I'm a sucker for any art content lol, can't wait to see what you do next!
@@-laurel Thank you, I will defintely keep all those things in mind and try to start weaving them into the videos. I do appreciate it, take care!
Thanks for sharing the useful tip! I learn how to mix colors from you. That blew my mind!
I'm so glad to hear that! I hope the best for you on your journey!
Great video. I like the way you keep it moving with a nice variety of footage. Good tips, too.
Thanks Kim, hope all is well down in your neck of the woods!
I must say your videos have offered useful insight that I haven't found anywhere else. I watch a lot of Andrew Tischler and even he hasn't mentioned some of the tips and techniques that you have.
Additionally, I see your channel is relatively new and your gaining subscribers at a substantial rate. Keep up these thumbnails and titles, I literally cannot avoid clicking a video with as intriguing thumbnail and title as your last two videos. I think people also enjoy that your videos are nice and short, I feel like I can watch a whole one of your videos without dedicating myself to a long video. Also, keeping your videos short like this will allow you to spread more knowledge over many videos, rather than sharing everything you know in one video, which will keep people clicking more of your videos and boost the algorithm of your channel and make you more money from adds. You have an extremely promising start for a UA-cam artist and would not be surprised to see you hit 100,000 subs in the next 2-4 years if you stay on the trajectory you're at now. I would like to do the same someday, you are very inspiring. I see big things for you! Subbed.
Thank you, that is kind to say. Very astute observations, been trying to learn as much as possible on how to make those things better. I hope your visions of the future come to fruition. Good luck with the channel and hopefully we can both do well on that front.
Your sharing is so good. Beautiful painting. The picture is so beautiful and lovely. Amazing ! 💓💓💖💖💖
YES! A REALLY good video! The best, important and rare tips. Finally, a video that doesn’t explain what “plein air” means😄😄
Haha Thanks Elisabeth! That does seem to be a common trope
So great thank you Roy
You're welcome Mary Ann
Thanks! Will try outdoors painting now❤
You're welcome, have fun out there!
Thank you for showing the tips while painting start to finish! It's so much easier to understand when seeing it applied like that.
Glad it was helpful!
Loved your video. To the point. Polite. Informative. 👍
Thank you 😊, appreciate the kind words
love the simplicity i need all the help i can get thank you Roy
Thanks John, happy painting
Painting the beauty of real nature, this is very good in addition to being able to make life feel comfortable, it can also chat directly with nature... peace be upon you may your day be peaceful and prosperous
Thank you, hope all is well!
❤❤❤❤❤ мне очень понравились. Я тоже художник. Мы любим вас. Ретро Сделано в СССР OLD TIMER 🤝🤝🤝🤝 🇺🇸
I would love to see how you used an edge tool to scrape the edge. Couldn’t quite tell what you were doing. Thanks a lot! I really enjoyed your videos!
Great suggestion! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Excellent painting 🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨
Thank you!
This was wonderful, so many great tips, thank you!
Thank you, and you're welcome, glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the useful tips. 👍👍
Enjoyed your demonstration. Found your tips to be very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Glad it was helpful!
I am a Boswell too and I paint. Small world
Welcome to the Boswell Multiverse!
Thank you!
That was great!!
Glad you liked it!
First video I've seen of yours, and enjoyed it, but it was all super fast. It would be more helpful if you slowed down the film and showed a few seconds of each tip, like how to use a scraper to knock back, then slow it down again to show adding the blue along the edges of the trees etc. You are telling what to do but not slowing to show it at all. Good tips though, cheers.
The speed is perfect. To the point. You can slow it down yourself if you Go to the setting bottom and pick the speed of the video
@@marieliholbert5835I was going to say the same, you can slow it down as much as you wish, half speed, even down to .25 which is extremely slow.
Yes it was all too quick
Thanks for the awesome tips.
Happy to help!
Great tips! I’m a new painter so I have been doing a ton of still life paintings. I am determined to start plein air soon. These are tips I can immediately use
You can do it! Plein air will increase how quickly you learn
Thank you for the tips! 🙂
You are welcome Marta! New video will be up on Monday morning!
wow.. great video.. can't wait for more..
Thank you, more to come!
So beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
This lesson helped me a lot and it was cool to watch. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Really amazing 👏 👏👏
Thank you!
Really good!
Thanks Priscilla!
Really like how you took a fairly ordinary scene to create your beautiful piece. Learned about “turning color” and Bridge color”! Can you recommend a resource that explain these concepts in greater detail?
Thank you very much! I learned the 'turning' one from Will Weston. You can find him online. Bridge color is a fairly ubiquitous term in painting. I'm not sure where I picked it up. I could do a video explaining it though if that would be of interest.
thank you i need all the help i can get thaanks Roy
You're welcome, good luck painting!
My right ear enjoyed your narration :D
Well done.
Thanks Thomas!
Good video and information, could be a little longer.
Greetings from Iceland
Thanks for watching! First from Iceland!
super nice video ^3
Very nice❤❤
Thanks 🤗
amazing
Thanks
Excellent
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice channel! Very helpful, thank you kindly sir. 🎨
You are very welcome, thank you!
Good video and tips. I would find it very helpful if you added one more aspect and explained your color mixing a bit as you work. What you use to mix a muted red in the field, or your warm distant sky yellows, for instance. Thanks.
Glad I found you.. subscribed 😊
Thank you, see you next time!
Eres un buen ilustrador
Clicked on this out of boredom thinking it’d be a normal “make sure you have your values correct” “atmospheric perspective exists” “clean your brush” but fuck, these tips were really useful.
Thanks man, I will try to keep the good ones flowing!
I am unclear as to the shape of the painting knife you use, but listening to your reason for usage made me look up at a small mostly knife-done rocky seascape, (Ogunquit, Maine) and be reminded that I felt it was a surprisingly enjoyable and effective technique. Your tips are spot on, and verbal powers of description helpful. The audio was pleasant, too. Thanks, and I will subscribe and look forward to your videos. Pat in New Hampshire 🤗
It's called a knock down knife, it is basically a squeege with a styrofoam blade. You can do it with anything like you said though.
Boníssimo.
Thank you
Hi Roy , just found your channel and enjoying good content, cheers Paul
Hey, thanks Paul, have a good one!
HI ROY, A REFERENCE PHOTO OR A GLIMPSE OF WHAT YOU ARE PAINTING WOULD BE REALLY GOOD. ALSO, WHAT MEDIUM DO YOU USE? THANKING YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ENERGY TO TEACH US HOW TO PAINT. MANY BLESSINGS, ANNETTE QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA.
Thanks Annette! In the future I will do my best to add that into the videos!
Interested in the palette you are using as it would be easily transportable. I understand why you leave the paint in it but when the wells are full is it hard to clean?
Just thinking about using mine for oils.. I’m new to oils so just getting used to all the cleaning..
LOVE the painting..❤
Hi Robyn, I'm not using that palette anymore. That one is a Masterson palette 16"x12". If you get some glass and a glass scraper it is easy to keep down if you stay on top of it. The only problem is, if you are rough on it, your going to break the glass. I shattered the glass about three times before giving up on it and going to a wood folding palette. If you are careful it isn't a problem. Every once in a while if you toss it down thinking it is soft grass and there happens to be a rock, you will be having a rough go at painting that day. Then you will be cleaning glass shards for about 20 minutes when you get back to the studio.
Thank you! Happy painting!
Just started following you and your tips are so useful! I have so many questions as I just started painting 2 months ago. I love oil paints and can honestly say that I abhor all of my paintings so far but I can see improvement. Were you ever at that stage? How do you figure out WHY you don’t like your own paintings? Also, can you add in the whole clean up process at the end, like how you store your paints and clean your palette and transfer an oily painting and if a beer or a glass of wine is better afterwards?
Thanks Kathryn! I think most people go through that initial stage, it takes practice and knowing what to look for (other people help with that) to start enjoying the adventure.
I will put those questions on the list of things to cover in future videos and the last one, that one is just personal taste!
Find at least one thing in each painting you do like, it can be a color, a mark, a shadow, find something....
This video have taugh me more than the plain air classes I took a while ago. For the first time I knew what I was doing and was happy with the result. Thank you.
replied to your comment but just posting here too for you to see:
I’d really love if you could do a video on broken colour. There are only a few videos on it on UA-cam and they don’t really go into how to go about selecting what colours to use or why. A more technical explanation of that would be really useful.

Yeah man I can definitely do that. It will take me a while, but broken color is fascinating. Also the inventing color is fun to do and it will go on the list. Thanks man!
@@PleinAirSchool great stuff thanks very much. I’ll make sure to stay tuned so. Looking forward to it
아주멋지네요
Thank you
Thank you for the tips. What type of gloves do you use?
They are HDX Nitrile gloves from Home Depot. For me they have worked better than the latex gloves.
@@PleinAirSchool Thank you. Yes, latex gloves don't let the skin of your hand breathe.
Do you only use medium? I'm still trying to figure out my painting process... Just curious
Hi there, question, how is your paint still workable? It looks like it has been on your palette for weeks?
Doesn't it have any dried up pieces of paint in there?
Also, how many flies and other insects were sticking on your canvas by the thime you were done?😅
+1 👍🤝
thank you!
Is that sort of a steelyard idea? I’m concerned I’m not always getting composition right. I tend to play with surface and forget about composition
You could call it a steelyard, I call it a close together, far apart. The idea is closer to a group mass with one thing off to its own. I'm curious, what does fidget about composition mean?
@@PleinAirSchool sorry . Missed spelling. I think it’s suppose to be forget. I’m trying to think more about composition. I need to edit before I post. :)

Nice work…. Please slow it down so we can see your brushwork in action
Have a look at a few popular painting channels too get ideas as too how too present and have setup…
Like a time lapse with the right music and speed is can be mesmerizing too those who enjoy watching a painter bring scene too life- those on the run… waiting and however
Then there’s those who enjoy the time lapse-- but also like too learn -- obtain tips and such-- and those who like too follow along-
In any case… best wishes too you
Here’s a few channels
Art of John Magne Lisandro
Correa art
Paint with Kevin
Just for ideas… although they’re all studio painters
There’s many popular plein air painters
Cumberland art
Michael Cumberland
4:25 "a turning edge is when light rolls over into shadow" Can you please explain what you mean by this?
Certainly! On the top edge of the light shape, I put a slightly darker color. That signifies that the edge is turning away from my eye.
In this instance the top of that shape is rolling over into the shadow behind it. I will cover it in more detail in future videos, and explain the terminology more precisely.
Thanks for letting me clarify it better!
@@PleinAirSchool are you talking about halation?
I will do that as a way of creating a glowing effect, but that is not what this is. Perhaps that would be some good material to cover in the future and I will flesh out this idea more as well.
Eu gostaria que o vídeo não fosse acelerado, pois falar não é tão bom quanto mostrar😢
Thank you, I have some other videos that show more of the process and are slower
oops forgot the baby lol :)
He was very sad!
What I want to know is how on earth you layer paint thinly like that without muddying the color. If I want to layer paint I have to use THICK paint almost impasto
nice video, song name?
:34 has me d😂in!
Could you please turn on Turkish subtitle?
I'd be happy to bu I'm not sure how that is done, do you know how that works?
Perhaps a little more foreground detail
Tip for you: Give us a shot of what you're looking at.
Thanks! Check out the new videos, that was a common request.
so, where is the tree?
Great tips, music is distracting.
Thank you Elizabeth!
The use of piles of tints is always made dry, is better economised the colors, they are expensive !
Anyway you can create the work you want to and not be wasteful is good!
Roy, your tips are very good. I have one piece of constructive criticism and hope you don’t take offense. It’s the music. I found it distracting and it took away from your otherwise excellent presentation.
Thanks Elizabeth! I will take the music volume down a couple levels
Yes, you are too good and to knowledgeable to be so fast. Could you please slow down and give us more time with you?
Thank you Autumn, I'm currently in the process of building out a full course of video's that will share everything I know. If you sign up for my newsletter I will let you know when that is getting close to releasing!
I enjoy watching and learning, but I hate this repetitive background “music”
Thank you
Your palette is a mess … looks like a lot of old paint … not being critical just wondering how it works for you
to each their own
