“LIQUID SPARKLE”
5x7 ORIGINAL OIL ON MASONITE PANEL
By TOM BROWN

At moments like this I need to paint fast or forget it. The sun doesn’t wait and colors fade faster than a politician’s promises.

I set up the small pochade paintbox you’ve seen in many of my YouTube videos. Then grabbed a palette knife to paint this one; it’s the quickest way to clean, decisive colors and speed was critical.

I got it in the nick of time, just before it was gone forever. Now I’ve got these sparkling colors locked in place to enjoy again and again. Hope you like it too.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/tombrownfineart/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=

Creating small paintings on location has advantages at times. During a Plein Air class I taught this weekend, passing clouds created these interesting patterns of light and shadow. We knew these effects would not last long, yet I wanted to capture this feeling in a painting.

A large canvas would have taken far too long. So I pulled out a 5x7 gesso-primed Masonite panel and painted quickly, recording only the elements that were essential to the mood and feeling I wanted to capture. I was pleased with this one; hope you like it too.

Thanks for looking. If you're interested in purchasing this painting email me:

"A CORNER OF THE GARDEN"
6x6 inch IMPRESSIONIST PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE
by Tom Brown

This weekend we had less than perfect weather for the Plein Air workshop I conducted for other artists. Well, okay it stormed at times. And we had occasional gale-force winds blowing over easels that weren't anchored down. Oh, and it was very cold.

But aside from that it was a perfect day to paint outdoors.

Fortunately I had chosen a spot with a broad roof where we could paint in relative comfort despite the rain. After the workshop was finished I grabbed a quick lunch and returned to the same spot where I painted this for my own pleasure. While I painted I also shot a photo for comparison with my painting. Enjoy!

ONE DOLLAR BID – 18x24 HARVEST MOON ORIGINAL OIL by TOM BROWN

The full moon was very low in the sky, just coming up. It seemed enormous, and it was a very rich golden color as it hung there. I pulled over to the shoulder of the road at the edge of a farm and quickly grabbed my paintbox from the trunk of my car.

I wanted to capture these effects right away, while I could. I knew from experience that as the moon rose higher it would lose some of the color and would not appear as large.

I used the small pochade paintbox you have seen in many of my YouTube videos to paint a smaller version of this on location (en plein air). I used that smaller study as reference for this larger oil on canvas, which I later painted in the studio.

SUNSET, LARGE PLEIN AIR PAINTING by TOM BROWN, TREES, MOUNTAINS, SKY

This is sunset at the same location as yesterday’s painting. It was also painted on location, but I was facing in a different direction. See yesterday’s blog post for the story behind these paintings.

LARGE PLEIN AIR PAINTING WITH A STORY by TOM BROWN, TREES, MOUNTAINS, SKY

What’s the great attraction of Plein Air paintings?

They involve all the senses, and it shows in the paintings. The sweet scent of fresh air, the warmth of sunlight and sounds of birds all find their way into the painting.

They capture the true spirit of the place.

These sensual experiences are visible in the finished paintings. That’s the big attraction of Plein Air paintings, for artists, galleries and collectors alike.

But there’s a problem – Nature’s light changes rapidly. And that limits the amount of time an artist has to record the scene. And so most plein air paintings are done on a smaller scale for practical reasons.

This was an exception. Many of my students wanted to see how I would capture this scene in a larger painting, while still completing the entire painting on location while the light remained constant.

A few hours and a lifetime of experience is all it takes – along with inspiration and a bit of luck.

TREES, MOUNTAINS, CALIFORNIA IMPRESSIONIST PLEIN AIR MINIATURE by TOM BROWN

"THE BEAUTY OF NATURE"
4x6 inch CALIFORNIA IMPRESSIONIST
PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE
original oil painting on canvas by Tom Brown

Bold painterly strokes add life and beauty to this colorful little gem. It was painted out in the fresh air (en plein air) using the compact pochade paint box shown in many of my YouTube videos.

Paintings done outdoors on location like this involve all the senses: the clean scent of fresh air, the feeling of sunshine on my shoulders, the sweet sounds of birds chirping in the trees. And all those wonderful feelings bring something unique to the painting itself.

Plein air paintings capture the true spirit of the place better than any others. Enjoy!

FARM, BLUE SHIRT, RURAL, BARN WINDOW by TOM BROWN

A blue work shirt had been left hanging on a nail inside this ancient Midwest barn window. Like the weathered barn itself, it had seen better days and now seemed forgotten and left behind. It was a compelling subject to paint. My eye was drawn to the textures of the wood, the color of the blue shirt inside the window and the array of farm elements like the barrel and the ropes.
