PLEIN AIR PAINTING AND POCHADE INFO BY TOM BROWN

"I REALLY DON'T KNOW CLOUDS AT ALL"
8x10 INCH PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE,
CLOUDSCAPE BY TOM BROWN
Email tombrownstudio@cox.net for purchasing details.

In reply to a deluge of inquiries about the pochade paintbox shown in my latest video I have prepared an eBook that is available for ten dollars from my Etsy store here.

The pochade paintbox has been adapted from a basic unit that was originally manufactured for a different function. The unit is readily available, often for less than twenty dollars.

My eBook contains full details telling where to get the unit and how to modify it to become the pochade paintbox I use. It also includes instructions how to attach it to your tripod just like mine does in the video. 

Happy painting.

BY TOM BROWN
SOLD
To watch me paint this on video, click the type above the image.

As I created this painting a parade of paddle-boarders went up the canal and I caught them on the video too; have a look.

I was in Long Beach, California delivering a series of commissioned paintings to a collector. While I was there I took the time to enjoy the scenery.

This particular view was so appealing I grabbed my pochade paint box from the car to record it. Take a look at the video as I paint it. And if you would like to own this little jewel email me at tombrownstudio@cox.net.

This was painted as pure self-indulgence.
I taught a plein air workshop for other artists this past weekend. The scenery was so inspiring that I couldn't leave. I remained on location afterwards to do this painting just for personal pleasure.

A number of the other artists in the group also remained and continued to paint well after the conclusion of the workshop. It was a wonderful way to spend a beautiful day in the sunshine.

This is the harbor at Balboa Island in Newport Beach. I took artistic liberties with the scene to create a more appealing result than the camera sees.

I enhanced the color and sparkle of the water, adjusted the degree of detail on the distant shore and brought some lively brushwork into the painting.

CITY SKYLINE LANDSCAPE BY TOM BROWN

"WIRED"
6x6 inch plein air painting
by Tom Brown

Here's another of my favorite "skyline" paintings. I loved all the crisscrossing lines in this scene, as well as the birds clustered on the wires. That's what inspired the title.

I regard these as little snapshots of the city, often captured from the side of the road as I sit in the car with my custom paintbox.

This was painted so recently it's still wet. If you'd like it to grace your home or office email me: tombrownstudio@cox.net. Thanks for looking.

PLEIN AIR PAINTING BY TOM BROWN

"A BEAUTIFUL MORNING"
6x8 inch plein air painting
by Tom Brown
This painting is very affordably priced for a limited time. For purchasing details email tombrownstudio@cox.net

This was my demonstration painting during the plein air workshop I conducted for a group of other artists this morning at the ocean. My goal here was to capture the scene with clean, bold color that would sparkle like a jewel.

Nature cooperated by giving us a perfect day complete with fresh ocean breezes, warm sunshine and gulls circling overhead. It was a beautiful morning.

One of the artists in our group has a marvelous little painting in a nearby gallery and after the workshop we all strolled over for a special viewing. Artwork for the show had to be juried in, with stiff competition.

We're very proud of our personal friend Irena for acceptance of her contribution. Irena's painting is a wonderful piece and well deserving of a place of honor in the show. Congratulations, Irena! Well done.

PLEIN AIR PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING BY TOM BROWN

"LIVING IN THE MOMENT"
5x7 inch original plein air
oil painting by Tom Brown

Unexpected sensory delights are among the many pleasures of plein air painting. Parrots nested in nearby treetops, the sun warmed my shoulders and I watched in fascination as a large gray wolf casually sauntered by on a leash.

I created this painting as a demonstration during a workshop this past weekend. Using a palette knife to paint this forced me to simplify the amount of detail, which helps create stronger compositions. Color relationships were another important focus of the lesson.

For example we carefully observed whether one tree was a warmer green or cooler green than the next. Is it lighter or darker in value? Is the hue more pure or more grayed than the other?

Answers to these questions lead to stronger paintings because we base our work directly on nature. Sensory delights like sunshine, fresh air and parrots are simply icing on the cake.

PIZZA PAINTING WITH A CREDIT CARD by Tom Brown

"PIZZA PIZZA"

by Tom Brown
SOLD
To purchase this tasty painting email tombrownstudio@cox.net

Can you paint a pizza using just a credit card and pizza box? Watch my YouTube video and see. (Just click the type above this image or Google "Tom Brown Art Notes".)

For fun I did this palette knife painting with a credit card instead of an actual palette knife. The video shows how. A pizza box was the painting kit that held a canvas and palette of paints.

To get the full story on how I approach palette knife painting, see my online tutorial "PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING". It contains two entire landscape demonstrations with a palette knife, including recipes for important color mixtures and the step-by-step progression from start to finish.

"PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING" is an eBook. (A book that you read on your computer. Or you can print out the pages for hard copy reference.) This eBook is delivered by email. To order it send a twenty dollar PayPal payment to kaybrown@cox.net and specify "PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING".

"COLOR MIXING MADE EASY" is another eBook that will be useful if you have ever struggled with matching exact colors in your paintings. Color mixing is something many artists struggle with (especially greens in landscapes), but it is SO EASY when you understand my simple approach. To order this lesson send a twenty dollar PayPal payment to kaybrown@cox.net and specify "COLOR MIXING MADE EASY."
