AMERICANA, WEATHERED BARN WOOD, 6x8 ORIGINAL OIL by TOM BROWN

CLICK HERE TO BID ON THIS PAINTING:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/tombrownfineart/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg

The rich texture of the weathered old barn wood was an important part of this painting. I’ve always enjoyed painting aging wood structures like this.

Other artists often ask how I achieve these effects of weathered barn wood and I have finally put all my methods and techniques into an instructional art video.

The video covers every stage of the painting process, filmed live as I start with a blank canvas and proceed step-by-step through the various stages to a finished piece.

The process is so simple any artist can do it on their first try.

Think of all the possibilities this opens up to you. You can use these techniques to paint old weathered barns, handmade wooden fences, ancient wood buildings and lots more.

In fact I even include a gallery of other paintings in this video to keep you inspired. It’s a short video; just a bit over ten minutes. But it’s PACKED with all my secrets, tips, techniques and procedures to achieve these effects.

And you can use these methods again and again with fresh results every time.

MINIATURE OIL PAINTING
by TOM BROWN

I call these small paintings on art cards "POCKET PAINTINGS" because the painting kit I use to create them is so compact it fits in my pocket. It's a great way to capture the inspiration of the moment and preserve the memory to share with others.

This painting is the size of a postcard, yet it's an original oil painting that was created while working directly from Nature on location, which is called "Plein Air" painting.

Paintings like this make wonderful Collector's Items.

PLEIN AIR PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING by TOM BROWN


PAINTING WITH A PALETTE KNIFE is FUN and SIMPLE.
All I need are my paints and a knife. It’s quick and direct. There are no brushes to clean later, no solvents to mix or spill. I just open my paint box and get started. When I’m done I wipe the knife on a tissue and cleanup is complete.

It’s a fun way to capture something like this scene with a minimum of fuss. And I love the bold, pure strokes of juicy color the knife lays down so easily. The results are always eye-catching and fresh.

MY VIDEO SHOWS HOW I USE THE KNIFE. I demonstrate all my techniques, tips, secrets and shortcuts.

It’s a short video but it’s PACKED with information you can use right away.
-- I’ll show you types of knife styles available
-- you’ll watch my personal knife techniques as I paint,
-- you’ll see different ways I handle edge control,
-- I’ll show you how I use underpainting/overpainting,
-- you’ll see how I put figures into paintings,
-- I’ll show you how I paint on a toned surface (and also white panels),
-- I’ll demonstrate my different techniques to paint trees,
-- you’ll watch me create eye-catching surface texture,
-- and much more.

COLORFUL McCAW PARROT, ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING and SKETCH by TOM BROWN

 

CLICK HERE TO BID ON THIS PAINTING:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/tombrownfineart/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg

Sketching is just plain fun, and I do it in odd moments every day. Sometimes it pays off unexpectedly.

This sketch of a McCaw parrot is a good example. I did the sketch from life, long ago. It’s been buried among things in the studio until the other day when I rediscovered it.

Like a shot of adrenalin the original inspiration returned and I decided to have a go at it.

I was quite pleased with the resulting painting and it made me glad I’d done the sketch.

Hope you like it too. Thanks for looking.

PLEIN AIR WORKSHOP VIDEO and PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE by TOM BROWN


Click here to watch my recent PLEIN AIR VIDEO at this location.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZoMSClXW_Q

I painted this at one of the sites where I’ll be teaching a Plein Air Workshop soon. The Workshop starts on July 13. For 5 Saturday mornings we’ll paint at a variety of locations in Orange County, California.

Email me for details if you want to join us. A few spots are still open.

I had done a painting here before (shown in the video), and returned another time when the weather was quite different. I was an appealing change in the scene and I couldn’t resist.

This is the same spot as the painting that was done in the video but for this one I was looking in the opposite direction.
