PLEIN AIR WORKSHOP STUDIES BY TOM BROWN

PALM TREES & WORKSHOP STUDIES
by Tom Brown

I thought it would be interesting to show some things that happen “behind the scenes” at a Painting Workshop. These are palm tree studies, sketches and notes done for the Plein Air class I conducted last weekend in Newport Beach.

These images and others were also emailed to participants after the workshop was completed, to help reinforce the lessons of the day.

This coming Saturday we will meet at an equally inspiring location. Come join us if you’re an artist in the Orange County area. All skill levels are welcome. There is a small fee for the day’s session; email me for details: tombrownstudio@cox.net

BARN, PLEIN AIR PAINTING BY TOM BROWN

“WEATHERED WOOD”

To purchase this painting, email me at: tombrownstudio@cox.net

SOLD

This is a sister barn to “ANCIENT ONE,” which was posted on my blog a couple of days ago. Both barns are on the same property. In this painting I was interested in capturing the texture of the weathered wood, missing planks of siding, and the collection of odds and ends that had accumulated by the barn. What stories this old building could tell!

BARN, PLEIN AIR PAINTING BY TOM BROWN

“ANCIENT ONE”

I was raised in farm country and barns have always been among my favorite subjects to paint. In this scene I was attracted by the pattern of light and shadow across the face of the barn, as well as the path leading toward it. The handmade fence brought added interest to this simple country scene. It was a warm day with a fresh breeze. A perfect day for painting outdoors.

About The Painting:
Sunset is always magic but it lasts very briefly. I knew I must work swiftly. My palette knife became a blur, capturing the final fugitive moments of dazzling color. Then suddenly the sun was gone, stealing the light and plunging the sky into darkness.

Yet I had frozen the magic in this sparkling little jewel, to treasure it another day. This miniature oil painting is another in my new series called “LITTLE TREASURES.” I hope you like it.

URBAN PLEIN AIR PAINTING BY TOM BROWN

“PORTLAND STREETCAR”

To purchase this painting, email me at: tombrownstudio@cox.net

SOLD

About This Painting:
Here is another location painting created during a recent visit with my son who lives in Portland. This bustling city scene and unique streetcar design caught my eye and I set up my small easel in a doorway along the sidewalk. Tucked away in my little refuge I was able to work quite unnoticed by the crowds of people hurrying past.

I live in Southern California and frequently paint California landscapes, harbors and ocean scenes on location. Portland’s downtown area provided an interesting change of subject matter and I was delighted to have the opportunity to work in a completely new locale. However I did miss the warm California sunshine. The morning after I completed this painting we were hit by a brief snowstorm!

URBAN PLEIN AIR PAINTING BY TOM BROWN

“THEATER CROWD”

To purchase this painting, email me at: tombrownstudio@cox.net

SOLD

About This Painting:
This painting of Gerding Theater in Portland, Oregon was painted on location during a recent visit with my son who lives in Portland. I used my small paintbox to create a number of city scenes like this while my son was at his office during the workweek.

I live in Southern California and frequently paint California landscapes, harbors and ocean scenes on location. Portland’s downtown area provided an interesting change of subject matter and I was delighted to have my compact paintbox handy.

The light and shadow as well as the interesting architecture attracted me to this scene. A steady parade of pedestrians passed by as I worked, and I was inspired to include a number of them in the painting. As I completed the painting I realized that the crowd of pedestrians had created the perfect title for the painting: “THEATER CROWD.”
