"Fiscalini Ranch" Plein Air Oil Painting on the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve Trail in California

hiiiiii! This is a fun plein air painting I did on my recent trip to Cambria, California. I'm so grateful I got the chance to paint the ocean like this. Painting plein air especially on beautiful locations like this puts me in such a zen state of mind. I'm missing it so much already. It is supposed to start warming up here in Nebraska soon, so hopefully I can get out and do some plein air here. Anyways thanks for watching, i love you and hope you have a great day :)

I've seen a MILLION paintings of the same kind of coastal scene, but your free handling of thick paint and unfussy brushwork made yours a painting worth looking at, that is very enjoyable to see. Congratulations. You are "your own" painter! Glop is good! Viva impasto!

Lovely painting!

Very muddy, not enough value scale to balance the globs of paint.

whats the point of this unerpainting in (burnt umber? or maybe burnt sienna) if you put then the real layer of paint in such a thick impasto that the underpainting is not visible at all? could do the same with just clean canvas and small sketch without the need to cover entire canvas with underlayer cuz yea, theres no use for it if u sover it up with thick impasto.

[@leahbeansart]

I use brunt sienna as the wash over the panel then brunt umber for my underpainting. I do the wash because i like to work on a more middle value than the solid white of the panel. I also like to have little bits of the brunt sienna peaking out of the thick impasto even if it isn’t a lot. I do the underpainting as a guide for the rest of the painting. Hopefully this helps and makes sense! Everyone creates in a different way, no way is right or wrong!

You use a lot of paint that’s OK it’s a nice painting, but my as as another artist. If you would’ve left some of that under value on the rocks, it would’ve complemented nice with the blue tone of the water. Keep going man better more painting, not enough bravo!
