Absolutely delightful in it's simplicity! There is beauty in everyday things around us if we stop to observe. That flower is a Columbine. It's a perennial so it will come back year after year! Paint it again next season!
The columbine looked very much at home as did other plants un the garden. These miniature landscapes appear under our noses, and may look simple but are anything but. A good job you are not in Brixham!
Andrew, thank you for another wonderful painting. The subject doesn't matter; it's the mind (heart/soul) that experiences life and passes it on. Well done.
Hi Andrew. 'Aqualegia'. Nice study of a simple subject. Good to see Basil enjoying the sunshine. Got to see your exhibition at Porthleven. Lovely work. Cheers 😊.
Basil enjoying the sun! this is really lovely! its just amazing when we realize the vast amount of things we see and can paint! thank you for the video today! you might enjoy looking up Duane Keiser in USA -a painting a day.
Lovely idea. Get where you're coming from, a simple subject, being quite difficult. I painted a cup in my garden and it was actually difficult compared to painting animals, flowers, landscape etc. Thanks for the videos they are very inspiring 😊
Bird to Basil: "'Ere dog, what's he up to now?" Basil to bird: "Painting a tap." Bird to Basil: "A tap? Is he a bit, um ....?" Basil to bird: "As a box of frogs, yeah. Tee hee." Bird to Basil: "Tee hee!" Me to Andrew: Well done, I'd never have thought of doing that; AND - I'm not thinking of doing it now, either, but that'll be my lack of imagination.
PS - We have a well in the garden - I hadn't thought of painting that before, but now..... I've never got the right size of board when I need one, but I'll find something: thanks for the inspiration: the idea of a series of small paintings is an appealing one and would suit my declinging physical abilities rather well - frustrating, having to wait to buy or make an appropriate set of boards, but I feel the old oomph coming back and - t'is all your doing.
Hi Robert thank you again for your supportive comments. If you email me your address I will send you a few small panels to get you going (free of charge - courtesy of Basil)
thankyou for this delightful little picture ,the birds,the dog and the pink flowers and the tap. somehow if I use my brush as you do i get a horrible mess so I will keep watching.
Interesting new subject. Altough there's no Landscape in it nonetheless it got a sense of Spring from the sunlit Wall and the limegreen foliage. Wouldn't you like to paint that beautiful Rose? Is it an Austin Rose? Basil was really enyoing his sunbath🙂
Hello from Canada! I’m a new subscriber and just wanted to let you know I am really enjoying your channel! Really great work you are very talented and this particular piece of your garden top and flowers is truly wonderful! ❤
Love your video as usual Andrew .Thank you. Andrew ,may I ask you two questions please. 1/ Do you use Artists oil paints ,because I was told there is more colour pigment in them. 2/ I notice that when my oil colours dry they become quite dull and I remember an artist on youtube one time applying some sort of medium over the oil paint to bring up the colours again but without the shine Would you happen to know the name of this medium. Thank you..☘️
Thank you Rosemary I do use Artists quality oil paints mainly but have some cheaper student ones for plein air work such as Naples Yellow, Lemon Yellow (the bright one) and violet. The Artists paints are loaded with more pigment which actually means you use less paint! You can go over the finished painting with a matt varnish which will help unify the surface finish All the best Andrew

Andrew, thank you for another wonderful painting. The subject doesn't matter; it's the mind (heart/soul) that experiences life and passes it on. Well done.
My pleasure Gary and thank you for your thoughtful words
I think that flowers can be some of the most difficult things to paint. You did very well though! Great to see everyday things as the subject of art.
Thank you Dan
That painting turned out absolutely lovely!
Thank you very much

I really love this Andrew! ‚Simple‘ (…or not) but very effective ❤

Nice painting. I think garden drawings and paintings are a good idea. Gardens need to be enjoyed and celebrated.
Absolutely - right on our doorstep
Lovely 🌸
Merci beaucoup
Love this! All your work actually. I watch a video (or 5) every morning, then get into my studio. Thank you for your posts! Amazing!
You are so welcome - thank you so much for your support, I really do appreciate everyone who takes the time to comment
Often the simplest subjects make a good painting....probably one for the NEAC exhibition.
Thank you very much Mark - maybe NEAC next year for this one

Hi Mike
I love the yellow roses but I tried once before and it wasn't a good result! (they may be Austin and have a beautiful scent)
Hello from Canada! I’m a new subscriber and just wanted to let you know I am really enjoying your channel! Really great work you are very talented and this particular piece of your garden top and flowers is truly wonderful! ❤
thank you so much - glad to have you with us
Just a perfect sketch 😊
Thank you 🙏🏻
Aquilegia, if you collect the seeds and spread them about. Thank you for inspiring me to get out and paint,
You are most welcome - happy painting
Wonderful subject and wonderful painting. What kind of painting medium do you use? Turpentine...?
Thank you. I use turpentine and stand oil
Love your video as usual Andrew .Thank you.
Andrew ,may I ask you two questions please.
1/ Do you use Artists oil paints ,because I was told there is more colour pigment in them.
2/ I notice that when my oil colours dry they become quite dull and I remember an artist on youtube one time applying some sort of medium over the oil paint to bring up the colours again but without the shine
Would you happen to know the name of this medium.
Thank you..☘️

@@AndrewBarrowmanArt Thank you very much for that information Andrew. I think I will purchase the Artist oil paints.
All the very best to you.
Why aren't you painting that beautiful dog??? :)
I must do a painting of him
@@AndrewBarrowmanArt I insist :) He is just glorious!
