PLEIN AIR PAINTING BY TOM BROWN


“SUNSET”
8x4 inch original oil painting, plein air

To purchase, email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net.
SOLD

This painting was done just before sunset. I used the laptop-size paintbox shown in my CD on plein air painting. I keep the paintbox in my car at all times for opportunities like this when I need to grab it quick, set up fast and be ready to paint instantly.

Plein air painting lets you grab the thrill you feel outdoors and capture it in oils. There’s a quality of magic to it that’s hard to describe. It’s a total sensory experience that seems to include the scent of the earth, sounds of birds, the breeze on your face. You bring home that freshness and excitement in your painting.

I urge all studio artists to try plein air painting. Your work will take a quantum leap overnight. Email me and I’ll share some free tips on getting started, just like I teach on my TV show.

ORANGES, CONTEMPORARY STILL LIFE PAINTING BY TOM BROWN


“SUN KISSED”
8x8 inch original oil painting
SOLD

In addition to painting outdoors on location (en plein air) I also greatly enjoy painting interesting still life arrangements in the studio or outdoors in sunlight. I set up this composition in my back yard. The direct sunlight on the oranges brought out the brilliant colors of the fruit.

I always begin a painting by asking myself what made me want to paint the subject and what I want to express about it. In this case, the COLOR is what excited me, and that’s what I wanted to emphasize.

Next I ask myself how I can make the ordinary become extraordinary. I felt the bold, free brushwork made this piece come alive. To see what I mean, click the image for a larger view.

I was quite pleased with how this piece turned out; hope you like it too. If you would like it on your wall, email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net and we can arrange it.

COWS GRAZING, PLEIN AIR PAINTING BY TOM BROWN




“UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME”
10x3 inch original oil painting
SOLD

I always begin a painting by asking myself what made me want to paint the subject and what I want to express about it. Then I kick it up a notch by asking how I can make the ordinary become extraordinary. From that point on, it practically paints itself. I just hold onto the brush and go along for the ride.

I was quite pleased with how this piece turned out; hope you like it too. If you would like it on your wall, email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net and we can arrange it.

If you’re an artist struggling with your work, I suggest you take your paints outside and make it fun again. Plein air painting offers a refreshing escape from the daily grind. You become totally immersed in the moment and painting feels effortless. It’s pure joy.

Your work is sure to improve. And plein air paintings have an honesty that makes them valuable to galleries and collectors alike. So get outside and explore the fascinating world of plein air painting.

You’ll come back home tired but happy. Nothing beats that feeling. Email me and I’ll share some free tips on getting started, just like I teach on my TV show.

THE FAMOUS HOLLYWOOD SIGN, DAILY PAINTING

8x6 inch plein air oil painting

To purchase, email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net.

This famous HOLLYWOOD sign is more than a city’s name. It’s a universal symbol for the place where magic is possible and dreams can come true. I painted this near Hollywood Blvd and Highland Ave, close to where the academy awards are held.

If you’re an artist struggling with your work, make it fun again. Take your paints outside and watch your art blossom. (Email me for free tips on getting started like I share on my TV show.)

PLEIN AIR PAINTING BY TOM BROWN



“MAGIC MOMENT”
8x4 inch plein air oil painting
To purchase, email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net.
SOLD

Plein air painting lets you grab the thrill you feel outdoors and capture it in oils. There’s a quality of magic to it that’s hard to describe. It’s a total sensory experience that seems to include the scent of the earth, sounds of birds, the breeze on your face. You bring home that freshness and excitement in your painting.

I urge all studio artists to try plein air painting. Your work will take a quantum leap overnight. To get you started I’ve created a CD entitled “PLEIN AIR PAINTING MADE EASY.” It costs just $30 and it’s for the absolute beginner.

This CD includes everything you need to know to join the fun of outdoor painting: a short supply list, packing tips, alternatives to expensive easels, brushwork, color mixing, and loads more. Including step-by-step demonstrations and comparisons of basic approaches under different outdoor conditions. This CD is an e-book that you use on your computer, or print out for handy reference. Everyone raves about it.

Recently I’ve also been able to make 4 of my TV shows available on DVDs. In each video I am filmed live on location painting the scene before us. The cameras follow every step from blank panel to finished painting as I explain everything in detail while I paint.

The DVDs cost $30 each and I’m excited about all of them, but if you want to get just one I would suggest “BACK BAY.” In the “BACK BAY” video I show how to make a simple outdoor painting kit that costs nothing. It’s great, because you can try your hand at outdoor painting without wasting lots of money on unnecessary things like a French easel.

If you want all 4 DVDs I can give you a discounted price of $100 for the full set. To order CDs or DVDs just email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net. I accept PayPal or personal checks, whichever you prefer. Shipping is free anywhere in the USA.

HONEY JAR, CHERRIES, FLOWERS BY TOM BROWN


“SWEETNESS & LIGHT”

Emotional impact in a painting is more important than mere details to me. I paint from the heart, and what I wanted to capture in this little gem was simply color and light.

I loved the illumination of the honey jar and how the colors of these flowers contrasted with it. This one will add a joyful color note to any wall in your home. If you simply cannot live without it, email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net.

ANTIQUE KODAK CAMERA CASE DAILY PAINTING BY TOM BROWN


“A KODAK MOMENT”
8x10 inch original oil painting

This painting isn’t for sale; it’s a gift for a friend.

My friend found this ancient Kodak camera case in an antique store. He mended the handle and polished the worn leather before sending it to me as a surprise gift. I now have the case hanging on my studio wall and thought it would make a nice subject for a painting.

Ironically, when I was small my parents had a camera that fit this case. I still remember it well and this brings back wonderful memories for me. When this painting is dry I will ship it to my friend as a thank you. I think he might like it.

Have a wonderful day, and don’t forget to make some memories along the way.

SOLD

I was attracted to this scene by the contrast between graceful organic shapes of nature and geometric shapes of man made elements. I also liked the soft shadows on the freeway overpass that were cast by the trees, as well as the billowing clouds in the sky.

I feel that sometimes we tend to overlook beauty in the commonplace things like this that surround us on a daily basis. Thanks for looking; enjoy the view.

PALMS & HISTORIC ADOBE, PLEIN AIR PAINTING BY TOM BROWN



“HISTORIC MONTANEZ ADOBE”
6x8 inch original oil painting


When I approached the caretaker for permission to paint on this property with my students, I was welcomed with a smile and told, “Make it your home.” It was the beginning of another wonderful day.

The Montanez Adobe is located in the historic Los Rios district of San Juan Capistrano near the famous mission. It was built in 1794 and is listed on the National Historic Register. Painting on this property was like touching a piece of history.

In this painting I was interested in capturing a special quality of light and color. It has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated, but if you click the images for a larger view you will get a better sense of the lush color and brushwork.

Email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net if you would like to buy this painting or if you’re interested in DVDs of my TV shows where I am filmed painting on location. (By the way, thanks to everyone for the kind comments about my recent DVDs. Glad you like them!)

LEMONS, CONTEMPORARY DAILY PAINTING



“WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS…”
10x5 inch original oil painting
SOLD

One of the viewers of my blog gave me the idea of painting lemons. (Thanks, Kathy.) Later at the store I found a treasure trove of material, including some lemons with the stems and leaves attached. I had to caution the checkout person about handling the one with a stem and leaf very carefully. (She must have thought I was nuts.)

I liked the idea of using lemons that had a bit of variety, including one lemon that was still a bit green. The green one contrasted nicely with the bright yellow of the other lemons. And the single leaf on one of the stems added interest to this composition.

I also enjoyed putting in a single wedge of lemon among the whole lemons. The light filtering through the translucent slice of the lemon wedge made it seem to glow. What do you think?

Just after completing this painting on location in San Juan Capistrano I met Huell Howser, who was filming a segment of his TV program "California Gold."

Here is a photo I shot as Huell was interviewing Stephen M. Rios during the show. We were on historic Los Rios Street, which was named for Stephen‘s great-great grandfather.

The Rios Adobe (shown in the background here) is the oldest continuously occupied residence in California and it has been occupied by the descendents of the original family for over 200 years. It was a memorable morning.

SUNSET, TREES, COUNTRYSIDE PLEIN AIR PAINTING




Today’s painting: “THE SERENITY OF SUNSET”
Size: 6x8 inch original oil painting


Plein air painting is so easy if you just don’t make it hard. To capture the fleeting color and light in this sunset I used streamlined equipment that let me set up and begin painting in a matter of moments. That was important.

My approach to the subject was equally important, letting me get into the zone immediately and follow my muse. Recording a sunset leaves no time to falter, but it’s easier than you might think if you do it right.

Much advice about plein air painting that is given to artists in magazines and books is wrong, however. There are easier ways to approach it than I often see published.

If you want to have fun and paint well, find someone who already does that. Then copy their methods and make them your own. That’s how I teach in my workshops and on my TV show.

If you can find a good workshop instructor who teaches plein air painting in your area, I suggest you enroll in some workshops. There’s nothing like live instruction. The next best thing is to get videos and follow along at home until you get a feel for it. Then you can venture out with confidence.

Recently I’ve been able to make 4 of my TV shows available on DVDs. The response has been overwhelming and I’m happy to be able to help so many artists get off to a good strong start with plein air painting.

The DVDs cost $30 each and I’m excited about all of them, but if you want to get just one I would suggest “BACK BAY.” In the “BACK BAY” video I show how to make a simple outdoor painting kit that costs nothing. It’s great, because you can try your hand at outdoor painting without wasting lots of money on unnecessary things like a French easel.

If you want all 4 DVDs I can give you a discounted price of $100 for the full set. To order just email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net. I accept PayPal or personal checks, whichever you prefer. Shipping is free anywhere in the USA.

Whether you try it on your own, with me, or with another instructor I encourage you to give it a try. You’ll be glad you did. Happy painting!

PALM TREES, OCEAN, PACIFIC COAST PLEIN AIR PAINTING


“KEYHOLE ROCK”
10x4 inch original oil painting


Parrots were making a racket outside my window as I packed for the plein air class where I did this painting. Parrots are really loud, did you know that? But they’re beautiful, especially when sitting on palm fronds in the morning sunlight.

I used to live in the Midwest, and I enjoyed painting outdoors there also. But I prefer Southern California. It’s truly a paradise, with scenery and color like this.

Putting emotion into your painting is what I feel plein air painting is all about. And capturing a true sense of the place. That’s something you can’t get in the studio.

When you try it you will realize there is nothing like the thrill of coming home with a painting that actually shows what you saw and felt that day!

It will always bring back fond memories like the cries of seagulls or the smell of the ocean breeze at this location. (At one point we stopped to watch a small lizard that scurried past our feet and paused to bask in the warm sun.) This is why I call plein air painting “making memories.”

We had a great workshop here and a wonderful day together. One woman brought a home-made cake baked to look like a sand castle, with brown sugar sprinkled around the base to simulate sand. Yummm. (Thanks Kathy!)

But back to painting. A strong painting starts in your head, not on canvas. And here I showed my students how to clearly identify what you want to express on canvas before picking up your brush.

For example I wanted to capture the panoramic grandeur of this scene, so I chose this long horizontal panel from among an assortment I had with me. I also showed everyone how to draw attention to the “keyhole,” a unique opening formed by erosion in the base of the cliffs.

(This place feels like something right out of South Seas Pirate novels like Treasure Island. In fact a small island to our right is actually named Treasure Island.)

To draw the eye to the keyhole formation I showed how we could view the scene from a vantage point where a strong contrast in light and dark values would naturally attract the eye. And I demonstrated how to anchor this dark and light pattern during the initial sketch while the idea was fresh.

Once we all had a good start on our canvases I continued helping everyone by explaining recipes for effective color mixtures, how to use the brush differently for various effects, when to use thick or thin paints and why, plus lots of other things.

One of the students suggested I should call my workshops “Plein Air Painting for Dummies,” because I make everything so easy. It IS fun and easy if someone shows you what to do. That’s what I do for my students, and it’s probably the reason my workshops are always full of happy painters.

In fact this is what has made my TV show catch on so quickly. I explain everything you need to know, from how to lay out your paints to how to hold the brush. I tell all my secrets, tips and techniques.

Recently I’ve been able to make 4 of these TV shows available on DVDs. The response has been overwhelming and I’m happy to be able to help so many artists get off to a good strong start with plein air painting.

The DVDs cost $30 each and I’m excited about all of them, but if you want to get just one I would suggest “BACK BAY.” In the “BACK BAY” video I show how to make a simple outdoor painting kit that costs nothing. It’s great, because you can try your hand at outdoor painting without wasting lots of money on unnecessary things like a French easel.

If you want all 4 DVDs I can give you a discounted price of $100 for the full set. To order just email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net. I accept PayPal or personal checks, whichever you prefer. Shipping is free anywhere in the USA.

If you are an artist I strongly urge you to try painting outdoors directly from nature. You’ll bring home valuable memories from every outing and you’ll be glad you tried it.

Happy painting!

BARN, BIRD NEST DAILY PAINTING BY TOM BROWN


“ALWAYS OPEN”
9x12 inch original oil painting
SOLD

I couldn’t resist doing a quick study of this when it caught my eye. In the side of an abandoned barn a bird’s nest was snugly nestled into a small opening between splintered boards.

I was interested in the contrast between the delicate texture of the nest and the weathered barn wood. Slanting shadows called attention to the placement of the nest in the side of the barn and accentuated the fragility of the nest.

Since this was merely intended as a study to capture the moment, the edges of the canvas are not completely painted. But I thought this was such a charming piece I wanted to share it with you. Email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net if you wish to buy it.
