David Dunlop - Painting the Sea at Winslow Homer's Prouts Neck, Maine

Excerpt from Emmy award winning PBS series Landscapes Through Time with David Dunlop - Winslow Homer’s Seas at Prouts Neck, Maine (Program 206). David travels on the rocky shores of Prouts Neck, Maine, where the famously enigmatic Winslow Homer (1836-1910) lived for the last 27 years of his life and painted some of his most recognizable, theatrical, and iconic seascapes. Battling the wind, David paints an evocative watercolor at the location of the famed Cannon Rock, and an oil sketch of the rocks and turbulent sea in front of Homer’s studio.

❤vous êtes un professeur extraordinaire ! Merci 🙏

[@rebekahaurie6252]

Thank you so much! I discovered you recently, and I am learning so much from your videos. This one makes me long for my childhood wanderings on the coast of Maine not far from this very spot. Such raw, pure beauty, who could not be inspired to paint such a place?🙂

[@user-cv8yw3qq5m]

Absolutely loved this! Thank you. I will likely watch this many times.

It is just so beautifull - radiating aliveness, movements of light and dark and the rhytms of a spontaneity and the eternal flow of the embrace of Earth and Sky 💙🧡🩶

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Thank you, lisengel2498 - We really appreciate the wonderful comments. We are so happy to share Winslow Homer's inspiration - it was so exciting to be on Prouts Neck Island and see his home and studio - and the rocks! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@artbykcappadona5166]

You are awesome David. I just love the way you capture the essence of an artist. Your giant brushes and your sweeping strokes. You wipe away paint which is just as important as the paint you lay down. You are very inspiring. Thank you for these videos. I always look forward to them.

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Dear iMakeThat - Thank you agin for watching and writing to us! We are happy that you enjoyed the program. It is always inspiring to visit artists' studios and where they painted. Amazing! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@bryancoombesart]

This is one of the best plain-air demos I've ever seen, and I own some good CD's of great artists. It really opened my eyes to how a long wide brush could be used to describe linear elements like waves and rock in addition to describing appropriate perspective. The history lesson us also excellent for the non academic like me.

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

HI, Again bryancoombesart - Thank you for such generous and positive comments - it is very meaningful to us! We are really happy that you enjoyed it! Kind regards, David and Connie

I was looking online for tips on learning about homers paintings, and how to understand the art form more for a school project, and i found you! I am very thankful for the easy to learn lesson. I now find it very pleasing, and less stressful to do- and i can’t wait to start my project. Thank you! Your art looks incredible

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Happy to see this one. Saw on PBS a while back. You explain things so well. Some of it over my head, but that's fine. I get it. Looking forward to the next one, David (:

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Thank you so much for watching our program again! It was wonderful to see the sea that Winslow Homer painted - so inspiring! Kind regards, David

[@seaknightvirchow8131]

This wonderful. I love contrast of light in paintings. It is the light that moves me. So often I see professional demonstrations on KZbin and sometimes the painting was better before some of the details were added. Homer is one of my favorites.

[@7wheel11]

I am glad to see you are back on TV. Beautiful ! I like yours better than Homers !

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Thank you caseyabbott4361! Thank you for watching our program and then writing to us. It was a thrill to be on Prouts Neck where Winslow Homer lived and painted! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@juanclaudiodreyfus2801]

Hi David. You mentioned you prepared the watercolor paper so that it would resist the paint and you can manipulate it. What are you treating the paper with? I imagine an acrylic medium of some sort? Do you worry this prevents the watercolor from adhering properly? Great videos and thank you,

[@tericarter2886]

Fabulous So much information Thank you What is you substrate ?

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Thank you! This was painted on a piece of quadrupled primed Belgian linen taped to the board. Kind regards, David

[@karenandrews4321]

Hi David, wondeful teaching. Are you still in the area? I would live to do a few private lessons.
