Эх... Как хорошо быть американцем жить в америке в своем доме без угрозы войны и всего этого без путина и рисовать акварель.... Боже мой.....😢 довелось ведь переехать в рфию....
Bienne, I see you have two shelves from En Plein Air Pro. How do they sit at different levels? The mfr tells me they won't do that. Isn't the leg slot wider on one vs the other? Your lower shelf looks like a two hole. I believe they are different. I'm told the slot width is the same. Thanks
Great question Paul.... sorry I didn't see your comment earlier. En Plein Air Pro has a second shelf designed to sit lower than the main shelf. The "hole" which allows it to sit on the legs of the tripod is wider than the main shelf. This is why it sits lower. Here is the link for the second shelf.... enpleinairpro.com/collections/shelves/products/two-hole-tripod-shelf This is the exact second shelf I have and it works great! I love having the extra space so I am not putting excess stuff on the ground....hahaha! Happy Painting! BB
Thank you so much.... I will get more on UA-cam. Until then, I have tutorials on OpenStudioOnline.com. But, thank you....I am glad you enjoy what I have here. :)
Hi Brienne This was truly an outstanding example of how to do a Plein Air painting. I'm somewhat shy and I feel as though people will want to come over and look at what I'm doing and see how terrible I am at painting. I will have to work from photographs and build up my confidence before I can do Plein Air painting. Of course you make it look so easy. Do you always start with the study drawing? Why are study drawing so important?
Hi M Spates... thank you for the great comment and questions. Sorry I didn't respond sooner... I totally understand not wanting onlookers to watch you paint. First time I went plein air painting...I hid myself in a bush so no one would see me or ask me any questions. I am now used to it. Another tip....you can wear headphones. You don't need to be listening to anything, but then people won't generally bother you. Yes, I always do a value study. Before every painting, both in and out of the studio. But, especially for plein air. The value studies are important because it is my thought process and planning. I want to keep in mind where the big shapes are and where the light, middle and dark value shapes are in relation to each other. Also, shadows and subjects move while painting on site, a study helps to keep in mind the scene before the changes come.... :)
Thank you so much for your detailed response! I look forward to Learning more about you, and from you in some way. I had all but lost my enthusiasm for painting until I saw you on "Color in your life" maybe with your help I will be able to progress futher. Lol and build confidence and control!!! Thank you very much!!!!
The value study is key. I think it’s finding a good composition for watercolor is what i struggle with. Excellent overview of the process. Thank you Brienne.
That big brush is a quill.... It is a Rafael Soft Aqua number 8. Here is a link www.dickblick.com/products/raphael-soft-aqua-brush/?gclid=CjwKCAiAqqTuBRBAEiwA7B66hS9gxPqLvoSMbEFNM1-RaeJ9t1kIY8EY5BE3IMA-yX9krEPajhPAnxoCTrYQAvD_BwE
As always Brienne I love your videos and style of painting. I have watched this one 6 times from the drawing forward. Each time I pick something else up. I’m so in love with the first wash!!! Now if I could only remember that when I start a landscape my life would be so much easier! Thanks again!
Thank you and you are welcome Linda. I am glad this was helpful. The first wash is my favorite stage as well. Always fun and full of possibilities.... :) Have fun Painting! Best, BB
Thanks for starting your UA-cam channel. I’ve found a lot of great advice from your videos for my own watercolors. I’m curious, do you have any tips for en plain aire painting during cold Midwest winters?
Thank you William... I am so glad this has been helpful. :) I love painting in the winter. Some of my best plein air painting days have been in the winter and my worst days have also been in the winter...hahaha! The best advice I have for painting during the winter is to add vodka into your water. It helps prevent the water from freezing. Dress as warm as possible. Also, bringing a long a mat or old piece of carpet helps keep your feet warmer by acting as an insulation barrier. Go out on a sunny day!! :)
Brienne, I finally signed up for a local plein air class coming up in a few months! Can you share which tripod you have from En Plein Air, the Sunpak 2001UT or the Slik U8000? Thank you!
Hi Barbara....that is exciting! I hope you have a lot of fun with the class. :) I have the Sunpack tripod from the En Plein Air Pro set. I actually have 3 sets and 3 tripods, all a little different. But, I believe they are all Sunpacks and I have have had no problems with them. The one for the travel set is smaller, but I actually like that. However, I am short. ;) Have fun with the plein air painting!
@@briennembrown5938 I'm lol, because I'm 5'8", and I don't want to be bending over the whole time I'm painting to get to my paints, but I love the portability and weight of the Traveler's! Thank you so much for your response!
How do you decide when to add figures? Real nice demo B you make it seem so easy. I'd have lost patience half way through and skimmed my painting out across the lake then went fishing.
Hahaha... There are times to do that!!! :) I guess you could always bring your fishing gear just in case. ;) As for the figures, it depends on how large they are. If they are close and/or prominent figures I usually have them drawn in from the beginning and paint them with the middle value. But, sometimes I will decide at the end a figure would work well in the distance. I would add these figures at the end of the painting. :)
Beautiful painting! This video was very informative for me. The process from lights to darks is very clear to me now, especially with your mentioning the consistency of the paint at each stage. I can see I have stopped at the middle value stage many times without finishing with the darkest, thickest application. I find your instruction to be very clear and direct. Thanks for posting.
Well thank you Kirby for the great compliment. I try to make my instruction clear and brake things down. I am so glad it was helpful. You are welcome and thank you! Happy Painting! BB
Great tutorial! Painted outdoors this past weekend with our group, Plein Air Tallahassee at a goat farm. It takes fast work to capture the girlls. Lots of fun!
Thank you Lorraine. That sounds like a lot of fun. It is so great to go plein air painting with a group! Always good times! It does take a lot to capture the goats, I am sure. But what a great opportunity!
When I was looking at their canvas holder it seemed like the hooks on it would get in the way when painting at the edges, but you must have an older/ custom version, there doesn't seem to be any overhang?

I have a spot here that looks just like that. I’ll have to go out and paint it. Thanks I have really enjoyed your videos.
Awesome Liz... definitely go paint it. :) Have fun!
Lovely!
Just beautiful! Thank you for this tutorial.
Thank you and you are welcome. :)
Your first washes are some of the best i have ever seen, very consistent.
Thank you very much David! I really appreciate that. :) That is my favorite step!!
Happy Painting! BB
Thank you
You are welcome.
When I was looking at their canvas holder it seemed like the hooks on it would get in the way when painting at the edges, but you must have an older/ custom version, there doesn't seem to be any overhang?
You are right about the canvas holder. I hated the points, so I had my husband cut them off. I think he used a big saw. It worked great
@@briennembrown5938 Thanks for the info, did he attach something else or is it able to hold canvas/board simply with the hooks cut off?
We didn't need it as anything. He cut it and left about 1/4 inch. This is enough to grasp a panel or board with no interference.
@@briennembrown5938 Oh cool, thanks a lot!
