IMPRESSIONIST PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE, TONALIST PAINTING

“COUNTRY ROAD”
6x6 inch original oil
SOLD

I am a daily painter, working in the impressionist style. I like to paint outdoors on location because I feel it helps me capture the true essence of a landscape. This is called painting “en plein air,” which is the French term meaning painting in open air, directly from nature. Colors, values and subtleties of the landscape are easier to capture this way than when working from photographs.

This particular scene is on Laguna Canyon Road, looking north. Since parking is not allowed along this stretch of the road I had to park miles away and I rode my mountain bike from there to reach this spot. I have a specially designed painting kit that attaches to my bike so I can paint at locations like this, or even at remote spots high up in the canyons.

This was painted on a day that was slightly overcast, which muted the colors of the scene. Yet there was enough sunlight to create strong light and shadow patterns across the road. This was a very peaceful scene, hope you like it.

If you’re interested in this painting, please email me at tombrownart@gmail.com. I ship to the United States only.

IMPRESSIONIST STILL LIFE, EN PLEIN AIR

“JUICY COLORS”
6x8 inch original oil

I had just visited the local roadside farm stand and couldn’t resist painting these before they disappeared from our kitchen. I decided to paint them outdoors in direct sunlight to capture the delicious colors, just the way they looked at the farm stand. In one photo you can see the fruits spread out on the table, before I arranged them. In the other photo you can see the actual painting in progress on my easel. I set up my easel where I could stand in the shade of a tree while the fruits were in sunlight. Hope you like the painting. Bon appetite!

PLEIN AIR WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT, PLUS DAILY PAINTING

“MOONLIGHT MAGIC”
6x6 original oil
SOLD

If you are an artist I invite you to come paint with me during my PLEIN AIR WORKSHOP on November 17th and 18th. This workshop is for everyone, from ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to professional artists.

I teach the basics as well as things no other instructors teach. For example I will show you how to look at the landscape with the eye of an artist, to find the “magic” in the scene. And I’ll show you how to capture that magic on canvas and make your paintings “keepers.”

We will start by painting at a movie location that has been used in countless movies and TV shows including the 60's television series "Star Trek, "Bonanza", "F-Troop", "Have Gun, Will Travel", "The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin", "The Big Valley", "Broken Arrow", "Buffalo Bill Jr.", "The Cisco Kid", "The High Chaparral", "Kung Fu", "Maverick", "The Wild, Wild West" and many more. In fact a movie will be filming nearby as we paint.

Don’t wait; this workshop is already filling up fast. The cost is $100 for one day, or $180 for both days. Check my website for full details and how to enroll: http://www.tombrownstudio.com/

I hope you can join me; this is going to be an outstanding workshop!
