Ken Knight Australian Plein-air Artist Masterclass Excerpt

[@LaMatadora]

One of the best plein air sessions on KZbin. Instant Follow!

[@claumelli22]

Jewel of the day: “...if you take the preciousness away from something, and you have nothing to lose, then the opposite is also true; you have everything to gain.’ Majestic words, thank you Ken Knight.

[@garyroberts3859]

I’ve been very impressed with this mans work for many years

[@jimreid9674]

Love the paint scraper, it creates so much energy and interest. Cheers.

[@adelinalienrexhaj5014]

Make it look so easy. No fuss, and straight on, Love it!

[@tombiaginiart4468]

Kenny, you're a legend, mate! To those asking silly questions or making silly statements about music, paper... go fly a kite in deep water. This is a little taste from his DVD series (I have all 3 and they're fantastic!).. Ken is a brilliant, expressive mad genius filled with passion and purpose. For Christ sakes the man has cadmium running through his veins!! Turn it up Kenny!!

[@danilogomez5321]

Que frescura y espontaneidad para lograr esa pintura tan divertida. Se ve como disfruta interpretando el paisaje.

[@Legotron]

I accidentally discovered your artwork on Pinterest and even happier you have a KZbin channel. There's something about your color and value choice that adds a surreal lighting effect thats I am totally mesmerized by. New fan.

[@寅-m2t]

I watched your painting works at north Sydney today. Like them very much. And checking your profile when I back home. I realised I watched your videos for a long time.

[@victoriagadd6831]

That’s really gorgeous, Ken Thanks.

[@stephy_spacesout]

Incredible painting❤ such a unique style

[@Murph-e5v]

One of my favourite artists. Thanks Ken for the insight and the invaluable tips. Now all I need to do is go and do the same.😎

[@aprilj794]

Love the painting and appreciate the great advice!

[@jacquigriffin5973]

I love how he has paint on his face and doesn't care! Top man!

[@johndaarteest]

There's more paint on him than on the canvas lol. Great vid fella 👍

[@dinneratmidnight6196]

Awesome Video Ken. I am new to plein-air painting and this really helped me. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and passion!

[@dewindoethdwl2798]

I love the way he’s absolutely covered in paint, like his kit. I’d love to see the next owner of that car! That panel he painted, wow. If you scaled up his tools you’d be using a yard brush on a 16” x 12” canvas, boy he has great control.

[@passage2enBleu]

Good Advice "Get out there and be prepared to try different things". Great work, and you make it look so easy, as professionals do. Plein air is far more difficult than most realise.

[@RoseFernandesArtista]

I LOVE PAINTING PLEIN AIR, I AM BRAZILIAN BUT I ALREADY PAINTED IN THE MOUNTAINS IN GERMANY, ALSO IN FRANCE. CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOU KEN KNIGHT!

[@markr.katzman3743]

Very talented ;painter...thanks for the video.

[@shirazyh1609]

Excellent work. ❤🎉

[@SteveAtkinsonFineArt]

Hiya Ken, awesome plein air video! Thanks for doing these, and I'm sooo glad to see that I'm not the only one that comes home with more paint on my face than I've managed to get on my canvas. My wife says I have two kinds of clothes, those that have paint on them, and those that will. Paint on!!

[@junkettarp8942]

Thats beautiful.

[@peggyboyd4215]

Amazing work!

[@reelfamilyfun4951]

Awesome video! Love your painting style.

[@coobird1ify]

Thank you so much for sharing this video Ken! Fantastic energy and integrity in your work.

[@MacEstelle]

This is incredible

[@Sugarsugar-24]

I'm stunned by the critics! I like his music, style, painting, and heart to share his process. If you don't...then click away. Why bother posting something sarcastic and critical?

[@mikkellaane723]

Man, I'm so jealus of his art mobile. Like, who has an art mobile? Frickin dope.

[@ShahanoorMamun]

wow..... very wonderful sharing

[@NathanShalva]

You did clean the papers on the grass that you throw their right?

[@CedricWilliamsFineArt]

lovely painting 🖼

[@fullpreteristnow]

My wife was painting rocks, because a lot of people hide them in the parks around, for others to find. As a landscape artist, I decided to paint some landscapes on some smooth flat rocks and like you said, I had no anxiety since these free "heavy" canvases were bountiful and I just felt free to quickly experiment. Now I have about 25 of these and some are quite nice. Only problem is, they weigh a ton. Haha. So my wife said, sell these. Get rid of them! They are drying on every shelf and counter and table. Oops. Some are quite large too. It would be nice to sell them by the pound.

[@scootmcgoot570]

I love this demonstration. What do you use to make your oils thinner? Do you coat the canvas with anything prior to painting

[@indrekviller]

Please post more videos Ken. I really like your style.

[@janapeony8561]

Awesome,Thanks for sharing!

[@MrMjp58]

What an incredibly talented artist. Also, a brilliant location. In the UK, the light would probably have changed markedly for every minute of this video - or even quicker.

[@IBG000]

His technique seemed a little chaotic, but dang he really makes it work for himself. That final piece was def crafted by a pro AND he did it so quickly!

[@andrzejbaczkowski8393]

Hi Ken. I am fascinated with your paitings, your style and sophisticated colours you use. May you tell what brand of paints you use?

[@raffachannel6071]

Pemandangan yg ada indah,,

[@thetawaves48]

beautiful palette.

[@danielmayorga4812]

The smallest canvas or painting board so far. is that worth the time and the paint ?

[@charleswebster2682]

Hi Ken like the work quick and fresh did you seal the wood with anything first thanks charles.

[@bigworm3446]

The painting looks better than the actual subject

[@janinecream132]

Gorgeous!

[@rzrr41]

it is an excellent idea..love it...thats a great way to do art...on wood nevet have seen it before...gracias.

[@Hillbilly59]

Stuff me drunk people, give him a break, who really cares about the music. He is sharing his knowledge.....thanks Ken!

[@williemays2]

--- you bloody diggers are rough as pigs breakfast --- but that's just what I like ! -----

[@dewindoethdwl2798]

What music? I was too busy watching & listening to his advice!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Nice video Ken! I really enjoyed some of your technique

[@simaabed3932]

Love your “south coast Seascape”

[@saolyartstudio752]

Beautiful 😍❤️👍

[@aljohnson8473]

I like the pull out from your vehicle ! You make it ? Thanks

[@uttampreetsingh9765]

Always best

[@marinaallison289]

Thank you Ken for being so generous to share this demo with us. It looks perfect already. I wonder what exactly you are going to do while fine tuning this work inside your studio. Thanks again.

[@randolphbejarfarfan4907]

Ya no publica sus videos!!!!!!

[@firandoart]

Great art 👍

[@matcomb7501]

The primer, clear sealer, u used... what do u recommend, water based, oil based??

[@susanhoward5479]

Lovely

[@Sugarsugar-24]

PLEASE post more!!

[@BelRiose2000]

It's ok to paint oil directly to wood?

[@halibut1249]

Nice painting, but I couldn't work on a wobbly easel, it would drive me nuts.

[@stevendavis3991]

Roflamo.. Same here. I could not do it. It bothers me when i paint from my home made ladder easel and it moves like 1/16th of an inch. Lol

[@DeeTee79]

Not sucky at all. I enjoyed this. Also I'm finding as a beginner I prefer doing smaller impressionist style paintings rather than large canvases. Not too much detail, but at the end of the day just having fun, happy accidents and all. Cheers mate.

[@debbiewells2851]

Your brush looks like a hake shape. Is it made of rubber? Beautiful painting!

[@tjdewet2868]

Great demo

Nice

[@tezdower8370]

Hi Ken, Do you put a primer on the cedar or plywood when you paint? Like clear gesso?

[@kenknight8681]

Hi Terry, Yes I often use a clear sealer to prevent too much "suck" or paint absorption while painting. I mainly use this on marine ply, or if I paint on Masonite ( without gesso ).Painting onto a dark surface will definitely alter your colour and tonal values, as opposed to painting on the traditional white surface of canvas or gesso board.If I paint on solid cedar, I like to paint on this surface without any sealer/primer ...Ultimately its a personal thing.

[@tezdower8370]

Ken Knight,Thx Mate, Cedar is so expensive. I can get Cedar veneer and have it glued on mdf. Its abt $200 For acouple of mitres. Thanks for sharing Ken😊

[@simaabed3932]

Terry Dower it did not seems he did on this one , but I watched another artist prime the wood of course

[@janobertas4403]

Terry Dower a

[@james6401]

I often use ply, not sure if it's marine (it's dark). I use pva glue to seal it then coat it with white gesso. I'm not brave enough yet to paint straight onto the unprimed board! Love how you use that paint scraper Ken!

[@everythingandnothing4856]

that song thou! gives me artist spirit

[@artepaixao7355]

friend you produce more videos, very good your work ok

[@barnbre2]

Love your approach and the outcome! 😄 (minus the music)

[@charleswebster2682]

yes got the primeing at end of vidio

[@ghuntressart669]

I would like to have watched him and listened to his insight but I couldn't stand that horrendous 'music'.

[@arabyarabyart4109]

good luck

[@BarbieBud]

Fun

[@paulwhite760]

is that board sealed ?...you're not painting on raw wood are you?

[@TownHouseFilms]

Inspiring painter. I would have purchased the DVD set if it hadn’t been for the dreadful tinny background music.

[@johnwalters978]

why paint so small.? it's much easier?

[@Artba_Kreasi]

I like to see all the films that you show my sister.. and I love you... greetings from me, I am from Indonesia, I am inspired a lot from some of the films that you have shown my sister... because I have many shortcomings, I hope that his guidance will help me I'm also my sister in the development of film content, I'm waiting for your sister's guidance

[@lazynut81]

Most important to paint face first and everything else on yourself. it's 5''x8'' only.
