G'day Sandra, Thanks so much. Yeah what a nice place to go painting hey. Yeah I thought maybe it wasn't rich enough but not I look at it it doesn't look too bad. Happy painting Sandra 🎨🎨👍

[@traceyferreira8042]

Loved watching you paint that. Your work with the palette knife and the trees was beautiful

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Tracey, Thanks so much and much appreciated. Yeah the palette knife is my favourite tool to use with oil painting. Happy painting this weekend also, Cheers 🎨🎨👍

[@claraedouwesdekker6389]

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Clare, Thanks so much and much appreciated. Yes thanks to the trusty palette knife for helping me with the tree's. It works well. Yes the deer viewing was special for me. I enjoyed that. Happy painting this weekend ahead. Cheers 🎨🎨👍

[@errolastill4600]

Great from a painter too. Still trying to paint as good as you love it on the gold coast. Myself son lives Newcastle

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Errol, Thanks so much Mate. Much appreciated. Yeah it's just practise makes perfect hey. It's not everyday We do a good one but eventually we'll get there. Yeah I also got family on the Gold Coast and I go to Newcastle a lot.. Happy painting mate. Cheers

[@user-zi8qi9ip2g]

What an amazing painting spot you found! This was a difficult painting (at least it would have been for me)…all the parts took tremendous concentration and skill. You sure have a steady hand with your palette knife! I love the results…a fantastic painting! Plein air painting can give you good surprises…seeing animals in the wild…and hearing horses, birds…Always fun! Thank you for sharing this beautiful site and your painting skills!😊

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Nancy, Thank you so much! I felt a real peace being there in nature with all the animals. I need to find more places like that. Yeah, we never know what we're going to come across when we're out there plein air painting. Yeah I'm getting better with the palette knife. It's a great tool to use. I knew it was a difficult subject but I didn't know if it was going to turn out or not but I had the confidence to try and make it work. Have a good rest of the week painting Nancy 🎨🎨👍

[@ankaris5129]

Top spot Tez, nice one!

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Ankaris, Thanks so much Mate. Yeah it was just a country lane but was peaceful to paint there. Will go back to that area soon. Cheers 🎨🎨👍

[@errolastill4600]

Love bellbirds in background as you work.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Erroll, Me too mate. They're beautiful and peaceful ain't they?

[@jefferythum9445]

Very nice painting.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Jeffrey, Thank you so much Mate. Yeah I really enjoyed playing this one too. Cheers 🎨🎨👍

[@artbykcappadona5166]

Beautiful job, Tez. And no, I would not hunt Bambi either.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Kathy, Thanks a bunch and yeah I just love seeing the deer's live their life there being free. It was majestic to see that. Happy painting Kathy 🎨🎨👍

[@elisabethseeger5837]

BEAUTIFUL!!

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

Thank you so much Elizabeth. Much appreciated as always 🎨🎨👍

Beautiful spot, lovely painting! 😊

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Marge, Thanks so much. Yes and awesome spot hey. Nice and peaceful. Happy painting 🎨🎨👍

[@lexiequinus55]

Thanks heaps😊

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

Thx so much Lexie 🎨🎨👍

[@rochford1000]

That's a good painting Tez. Thank you.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Mate, Thanks so much. Much appreciated 🎨🎨👍

[@AdrianBlount1]

Great

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Adrian, Thanks so much Mate. 🎨🎨👍

[@bradad2026]

Convincing atmospheric perspective and depiction of light. I would’ve gone a bit crazier with the yellow grass. The texture of the trees was great. Well done Tez.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Mate, thanks so much. Much appreciated. Yeah I needed to loosen that up a bit more and maybe make the yellow a bit more stronger. But overall I'm happy with it but I know I can do better. I'll go back again soon and have another crack at something similar. Cheers 🎨🎨👍

[@fatherburning358]

Love this one Tez 👍 beautiful morning to set up the gear and record the scene. Thanks brother 👏

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Mate, Thanks so much. Yeah a beauty of a morning hey. I love morning's like that a touch crispy with no wind. It was a nice day. Yeah I enjoyed painting this subject too. Happy painting Bro 🎨🎨👍

[@stevewinter331]

I enjoyed to painting. Though you do a lot of seascapes you need to do more of these landscapes Tez. I did get a glimpse of the white deer. Also Tez l know you say you paint as a hobby but your a professional not an amateur I believe you could go full time as an artist Please make the a goal l know you have the God given talents and giftings to make a living as an artist.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Steve, Thank you so much. Much appreciated Yeah I really enjoyed coming to the countryside and doing a landscape. I'm going to have to come back again. I do get sick of seascapes all the time. Yeah, I'll surprised to see the white deer. I looked it up. It's either or they or either a Hog deer or Fallow deer. Beautiful as well. Yes Steve that's my dream to paint full time and to do the KZbin and share but I just can't survive but I know the God could bless me with opportunity as I want to share, Encourage others and genuinely see them improve. I pray for that day Steve. I could do tour's and workshops travelling around Australia or the world helping and creating. That's the dream Mate. Much appreciated Steve,Pray for me with that when you can. Happy painting Mate 🎨🎨👍

[@geminij2775]

👏👏👏 very talented Terry. Watagans mountains would have some nice spots.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Jasmine, Thanks so much. Much appreciated. Yeah I'm sure it would, I don't know it that well. I'd have to explore more around that area for painting spots. Cheers 🎨🎨👍

[@JimReid-cb8lx]

Yeah, looks good Tez. Powerful looking trees, you captured that. I'd have made the grass yellower and even lighter highlights on the trees. Nice composition, you did good. 👍

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Jim, thanks so much Mate. Much appreciated. Yeah I should have put some more highlights on the trees and just made that grass a little bit richer in the foreground plus a bit more yellow too. Nearly a good one. I'll do another one soon 🎨🎨👍

[@stevewinter331]

I love all your ideas to eventually paint full time. I know it's not easy going full time and fulfilling your dream. I sell the odd painting but l have seen the work you do. I have seen some artists on utube that do workshops, do zoom meetings, manage to get their work in galleries. Some even selling small books, cups with printed images. I guess an art sponsor is what you need. Tez l will certain pray for you in Jesus name that doors will open for you. I know it's a struggle with the economy but l will definitely pray for you my friend. God Bless You Your Mate from Canada Steve

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Steve, Thanks so much for the soothing word's Mate. Yeah that's right many can make a living painting and I definitely love to get in that position. I couldn't imagine being able to paint every day. At the moment I'm just lucky to get one day a week if I'm lucky. Thanks so much Steve, The Lord can move mountains so it's possible hey. Happy painting this weekend Steve 🎨🎨👍

[@colinpearson6568]

It looks like a beautiful place mate. Just noticed you are left handed . Nice shading .🎨 👏👍

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Col, Thanks so much mate. Much appreciated. Yeah it was a beautiful spot. Nice little country village. Yeah I'm khaki-handed. They say khaki-handed make good artists 😁 Happy painting Mate 🎨🎨👍

[@ZulkefliGhani]

Wow very nice Painting Sir .i like you style in Painting. I still always follow you channel. I want to ask One questions oil colour can to be mix with turpentine or linseed oil

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Zulkefli, Thanks so much. Yes you can add a little bit of pure gum turpentine or linseed oil for painting to thin it. It flows better. Happy painting 🎨🎨👍

[@amarasiridesilva5616]

Nice painting. I see a thumb mark in he middle of the painting towards right. I was wondering what it is.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Mate, Thanks so much! Much appreciated. It's probably not a thumb mark. It's probably done from the palette knife. But I'm not afraid to use my fingers when painting either where it's needed Happy painting and thank you 🎨🎨👍.

[@frenchustube]

Are you painting in oil or acrylic?

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Mate, I'm painting in oil paint. Windsor and Newton and also I use Art Spectrum oils. Cheers 🎨🎨👍

[@tonycrawford7742]

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Tony, thanks so much Mate as always 🎨🎨👍
