I've watched Eric Rhodes noon Eastern time for over a year and one of the things he often said was "you have to manage what you put in your head". He said sure look at the news but DON'T DOOM SCROLL. Limit that time you spend on the terrible things going on and quickly move on to focusing on art. It really is the best therapy. A friend has a saying, " worrying is a wasted emotion." You can't worry about things outside of your control and expect to find peace. I am a kidney cancer survivor. The doctor told me that that cancer is like the sword of Damocles and can strike again anytime anywhere. I found my friends saying helpful. I couldn't worry about what may happen. It has been 21 years and still no sign of cancer. Unplug and plug into nature. I hope this helps you find peace.
Thank you Paula, congratulations on surviving kidney cancer! I too have stage 4, Neuroendocrine cancer. Since it develops in my stomach, it's imperative that I keep my stress to a minimum. Plein air has helped! I've had it for 6 years, and it has not grown at all. It's not the sort that will go away, but to hold it still is the best we can hope for. Thanks again, have a great week!
God bless you in your road through life and for your sentiments on how to not only survive, but thrive during extreme periods of stress in our lives. I'm recuperating from Prostate Cancer surgery some 5 plus weeks ago and I'm going better day by day. I'm very thankful for all of the good things that are surrounding me and try to focus in those as much as I can. I wish you well on your journey. I hate to use the term struggle as you don't sound like you are at all. Just taking one step at a time on this journey through life. Have a great day and life.
Good morning! I just discovered you yesterday and this video popped up in my UA-cam feed as I started my evening walk on the treadmill. I was already enjoying it when you spoke about what had gone on in Afghanistan with the loss of our servicemen and your prayers for tg hem and their families. You had me hooked after that. As a retired US Navy Hospital Corpsman, Nurse, and Nurse Anesthetist, I really value those heartfelt sentiments. I am also an artist in oils and bird carving, recovering from Prostate Cancer surgery, and I'm always looking at art videos to get some more painting ideas. You have provided the complete package here for people like me. Very calming, informative, and spiritual. Thank you, have a great day , and God bless you on your journey.
I find watching you paint very relaxing. You have a very calm voice and I love your painting style. Also you chose a really good time to make us aware of the importance of taking time out from the news which I think is affecting everyone at the moment. I hope your other issues work themselves out and that you feel much better soon. A big thank you for all your efforts and I shall look forward to your next video.
Hoping your stress goes down in the coming months Jessica...I stopped watching the news, it is as if the world has gone absolutely crazy, it's so very sad. Keep faith your loved ones will be safe. Your message of peace is so very important right now and I am aligned with your words! I like how you split the screen to show what you were making the sketch of. Then explaining step by step, having done the sketch, you don't need to stress where you are going to go on the canvas...it hit home for me...
Dear Jessica thank you so much for sharing once again your lovely voice, smile and painting tips. The world needs every ones prayers as you and your family need ours, God bless you beautiful lady and take care of yourself.
Thank you so very much for this video, please make the next one an autumn one. Please know that we desperately need you, Wishing you a speedy recovery, hurry back! 💗🌷💗
Thanks so much, Mona! We’re a long way from fall colors here in Ohio, but maybe I can slip in a sunflower still life, and include fall color mixing. On about another month or two we’ll have beautiful fall colors!
Thank you for taking the time to carry all the equipment, film and post the video. I love to hear your narrative as you build the painting. And you also showed us how to face an unexpected, unwanted accident: YOUR GAMSOL!!! You adapted so well, and were able to show us how to enjoy the activity, adapt to the challenges and be positive!
Thank you Maria! You’re so kind! It all worked out in the end, and the result at the end of it all was the feeling of peace! I love when things go so smoothly! 😊
Thank you for this. I have found that painting helps relieve stress as well. My sister was diagnosed with cancer in May, and it has been devastating, especially since we unexpectedly lost our older sister last October. But we are trusting God for the future, and rest in His sovereignty.
So much to learn here..."this journey is not about making a perfect painting"...think I'll write that one down, if I may, and carry it with me on this "journey".. Beautiful work, words. Thank you, Jessica. ❤
Lovely to have you back Jessica and yes plein air painting is very good for mind, body and soul. Thank you for this wonderful painting - as always greatly appreciated.
Thank you Jessica for all that you share. I've learned so much from your tips and just watching you. Bless you Jessica and good luck on your Children's Book.
Aww, thanks so much for this video, Jessica! I have been totally non creative since halfway through COVID. This video has given me such a creative lift! I will certainly get out to plein aire paint. I hope you get through your stress too. Thank you for all of the great things you do for all of your followers 💖
Thank you, Deb! I’m glad to hear you’re feeling inspired! I completely understand the creative low times. It’s hard to find the motivation. Sometimes, just taking a sketch book and not planning anything major is a nice first step!
Hi, Jessica, first time seeing you. I am an acrylic painter. Did oils in college and beyond, but I hadn't touched a paint brush in a long while. 2020 happened and I retired rather than deal with "stuff". I live at a forest preserve and I've only done watercolor, and a little of the acrylics and so I'm hoping tomorrow to get out there. The place you were at today was WONDERFUL! I Good luck with your book. One thing I know about is agents: They'll take a book if they know they can make $$. I've self-published novels, and then found a publisher who takes self-published authors. I wish you the greatest of luck and well wishes on all fronts. Keep painting. I'm definitely going to check more of your videos out. ❤❤❤
Thanks Lorelei! Best of luck in your painting endeavors! And thanks for the thoughts on publishing. Still trudging onwards, but we're so new to this. Having fun, but anxious to see progress! :)
@@JessicaHenry I know the feeling. Sent a new novel to my publisher in June... they haven't gotten anything going yet. It's all a waiting game. Hang in there!
So glad to share time with you again. Yes we are all going through difficult times. Prayers for you and bless you for helping me and others find respite in your paintings and spending enjoyable time with you. ❤️
Thank you Jessica. Great video that’s brings peace and the reflection of nature in our lives. God Bless you for all you do and in bringing nature in this crazy world just a little closer to us all.
What a lovely lady you are. I love watching your plein air painting I live in Cornwall Uk also an Artist. I have learnt a lot from you. Hope you are feeling better in 2022.
Thanks so much, Jayne! What a lovely place to live- I’m hoping to get over there in 2023, it’s been a dream! Thanks for your kind words, definitely feeling better these days! 😊
May God Bless you and your family. Thank you to your children for their service to our country. May God Bless them and protect them, in Jesus Holy Name 🙏✝️🕊🇺🇸.
Dear Jessica. I missed you too! Sorry to hear you're going through some hard times. Life has become challenging all around. Too bad we have so little control over things happening to this world, to people we care about and to ourselves. As humans what ever we pot our attention to, we become it. So lucky that we can paint and create.
Nice to see you posting again. I have missed your videos, as well as your great smile and bright personality. Hope things are getting better for you. We all enjoy your contributions to the art community and look forward to seeing you again soon.
You know I finally last week admitted to myself that I am feeling depressed. You have hit the nail on the head...so much seems so chaotic, mean and sad. My usual positivity has taken a hit and I know it. Yesterday finally had decently cool weather to paint outside and it was thrilling and therapeutic too. I know it helps me a lot. Good luck with your journey. Hope to see you again. It's a treat like a cold ice cream!
Loved watching you as always, (and I much preferred not having the music cutting out your voice!) I’ve found it very therapeutic watching you paint and it’s inspired me to have another go at plein air! Thank you 🙏
My wife just passed away recently and I didnt want to do anything really. Even staying om my diet was difficult. I have had to force myself to get back to the easel. Thanks for this vido.
Right, these type of paintings made in nature are full of life. It is of course good to get basic instructions on how to paint from a studio with no sunlight with mountains, trees, and lakes that do not exist anywhere. Paintings that are pure phantasy. Of course, studio makes sense when we throw buckets of paint on the canvas to produce "abstract art". But when we paint landscapes with happy clouds, snow-covered mountains, and instant water reflections then people put pressure on the artist. "What the hell - why don't you tell us where this is????? So actually, nobody buys landscapes made in the studio. Painting in this video is immediately sold.
Our leaders never have skin in the game and they don't understand how it feels to lose a child in another country. So sorry you're filled with worry, Jessica! Military moms are always in my heart. XO
Jess, we’re all going through these times and they’re rough. But through it all as a believer please always remember that your Father Jesus is in control. And remember too that because you’re his beloved child and wherever He is you’re with him…whatever the situation is you face you’re His child. And no matter what happens, you’re going to be with Him. I love you as a sister in the Lord. Please, leave the worrying to Him He’s got you in His hand and your family as well. May His love consume you.
Have you tried painting on the iPad? I know it’s heretical to ask such a question but I’ve been curious if you’ve tried it. No fuss over turpentine, no cleaning brushes, etc. Just painting. Of course no color mixing. Unfortunately you can’t do that on the iPad. But you can pretty much do all the techniques you do on regular canvas on the digital screen. Just a little different.
Hi Dorothy, no, I haven't used an iPad. I have seen others though and they seem to really enjoy it. I'm a traditionalist! I love the tactile feel of the paint coming off the brush. There's just something so special about that connection.
Williamsburg are nice oils. I typically use Gamblin. Most students can afford it, it’s a good brand but there are definitely others I’d probably be using if I wasn’t teaching. Old Holland and Blockx are other great brands, too!
Hi Linda, I've cut back my workshops to a few a year. This year I have one online course left and next year I have a workshop in France, just a couple spots left available in that one. I may add more next year, I haven't decided. Some are online and others are in person. I am also working on a book of all these different painting disciplines. If you go to my web site, you'll see more information and can join my email newsletter: www.jessicahenryfineart.com
Exactly, because her lesson today was not about creating an impressive painting. Many people need painting as a therapy and a way to express themselves when suffering thru difficult times. Creating art is not always about the end product, but about the process or journey of getting there. Kinda think of it as an injured athelete...not going to compete at their full potential, but will another day because they're still training & working out the injury.
Yes. This exercise was about just getting outside and dealing with difficult times by painting. I mentioned that many times during the video. It was not about making an epic painting, but just being peaceful. Probably should listen to it next time. You tend to criticize everyone of my videos, when I’m trying to do good for mankind. Instead of tearing people down, I find it’s better to build people up and encourage them. Try that. It would make the world just a little bit better.
You need to pay attention and be kind. First, Jessica expressed that she wasn’t feeling her best, yet she still took time to find a beautiful spot to set up and paint for you. The demonstration was about finding peace, letting your stresses melt away into your painting and surroundings, and relaxing. Out of all the love, thoughtful comments comes your mean-spirited bid for attention. Look inside your heart, stop being a negative attention seeker, and leave this talented, kind, and generous artist alone.
Thank you Jessica! We love you! May God bless you and protect your family 🙏
I've watched Eric Rhodes noon Eastern time for over a year and one of the things he often said was "you have to manage what you put in your head". He said sure look at the news but DON'T DOOM SCROLL. Limit that time you spend on the terrible things going on and quickly move on to focusing on art. It really is the best therapy.
A friend has a saying, " worrying is a wasted emotion." You can't worry about things outside of your control and expect to find peace. I am a kidney cancer survivor. The doctor told me that that cancer is like the sword of Damocles and can strike again anytime anywhere. I found my friends saying helpful. I couldn't worry about what may happen. It has been 21 years and still no sign of cancer.
Unplug and plug into nature.
I hope this helps you find peace.

I prefer you speaking while you are painting as opposed to voice over...just btw.
In comparison to your earlier paintings class in UA-cam this painting was not impressive.
