Thank you everyone, for a wonderful 2008. And HAPPY 2009!

I want to sincerely thank each of you who purchased my art this past year. Your support enables me to continue doing what I love most.

I want to thank each of you who purchased paintings shown on my blog. I always enjoy your delightful emails when you receive the artwork and see it in person. It truly makes my day to know someone has connected with my work. This is what an artist lives for. And it is reinforced by the number of you who have returned so frequently for additional paintings throughout the year. To me that says it all.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to each of you who privately commissioned me to create original paintings for you that now decorate your homes or offices. A number of very special private commissions were created this past year for wedding gifts, anniversaries and birthdays, and for these I feel truly honored.

I consider this the most genuine demonstration of your appreciation for my work, and I am very moved by your support and trust. Thank you.

I also want to thank all the loyal students in the workshops I conduct as well as those who have followed my art instruction on CDs, DVDs, and my TV show. I enjoy sharing with other artists what I have learned over the years, and it thrills me to see students suddenly take their art to new levels. (By the way, I will begin teaching a new Plein Air Workshop on January 10th and there are still a few spots open. We will meet on Saturday mornings for 5 weeks at various locations around Orange County, California. Email me if you’re interested in attending: tombrownstudio@cox.net)

In 2008 I began shipping internationally for just a few special collectors. Gradually the word spread and now a great many of my paintings are now displayed in far-flung corners of the world. It must take a special trust for those of you in distant lands to purchase artwork you have never seen in person. And my heart has been greatly warmed by the fact that so many of you have come back again and again for additional purchases. Thank you so much.

2008 has been a wonderful year and I look forward to new and exciting things in 2009! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

ART LESSON, OIL PAINTING BY TOM BROWN

“THE LURE OF THE OPEN ROAD”
8x10 inch original oil painting
by Tom Brown
To purchase this painting, email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net.

SOLD

Here is another brief glimpse into my working methods on location. I felt it might be of interest to other artists who follow my blog.

Half the battle in plein air painting is in knowing how to begin. I recommend sketching the large shapes of the composition very simply with thinned paint on a brush, as in step (1).

Next I establish the darkest darks (2) against which all subsequent tones will be compared. Then I “capture the fugitives,” which means anything that can disappear or escape as I paint. In this case it was the light effects on the mountains and trees (3), followed by the shadows across the hillside (4) and the foreground shadows (6).

With this under control I moved on to the sky, then I continued to develop and refine various parts of the painting until it was complete (see large image above).

I hope this little demo was useful. It is not nearly as detailed as my art instruction CDs and DVDs but it gives you a glimpse into my working methods for a typical plein air painting. Thanks for looking.

ART LESSON, PLEIN AIR PAINTING

“FOGGY MORNING”
8x6 inch plein air oil painting
by Tom Brown
To purchase this painting, email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net.

A wonderful fog greeted me this morning and I couldn’t resist painting it. I grabbed a cup of coffee and my paintbox, and headed out the door.

By the time I arrived at this location the first blush of sunlight warmed the sky with a peach glow. The thick fog muffled the usual morning sounds and created a peaceful stillness in the air. It was magic.

For the benefit of other artists following my blog I shot a few photos of the painting as it developed. In step (1) the scene was sketched with thinned paint to establish the large shapes of the composition. Next I captured key color notes that might change soon (2), followed by the creamy blend of soft colors across the sky and distant trees (3). Finally (4) I worked my way forward to complete the painting. It was the perfect way to start the day.

There has been a great deal of interest in my “PAINTING BIG” PACKAGE (see yesterday’s blog), and I wanted to remind everyone that my “PLEIN AIR QUICK-START PACKAGE” is also still available.
