Oil Painting / Solo Camping PLEIN AIR / Open Fire Vegan Cooking Recipe / Wild Camping / BUSHCRAFT

I'm spending a few days primitive solo camping, oil painting, camp oven cooking (using, whole food plant based ingredients) with plenty of fresh organic produce and just connecting with nature in general! Join me for a relaxing and stimulating adventure, on a river, in Outback Australia.

Wonderful video! Thank you Richard for taking us with you to paint and cook :) I love how fresh and expressive your works are. It is very inspiring for me. I also love how natural your videos are with those real life details, like seeing you making a cup of tea or a lunch on a fire. So calming and so cool!!! Thank You 🙏 🥰

Hello Richard, I'm so glad to hear from you again. What beautiful images you offer us once again with birdsong ! I love each of the paintings you made during this getaway. The colors you use are so beautiful.! The reflections in the water are superbly successfull. I don't have enough words to express how i felt watching your video. Thank you a thousand times for sharing these moments with us.

I'm so looking forward to painting this winter. Just love watching you paint as it gives me so much to learn. I did spend the summer learning to camp, cook, and most importantly coffee in the morning. Thanks !

You are very welcome Ray, thanks for enjoying!!! :-)

[@tcherinacombe9110]

I could sit and watch you paint for hours! Then I want to get up and go create something in that impressionistic style. For years I painted with brushes, but more recently started using palette knives, and Silicone shapers to move the paint around. Am liking the effects. I love the colors you use in your artwork. You eat the yummiest and healthiest food, good for you!

[@john-nx4xn]

You should start a channel. What do you have to lose? And if by chance you're not on his level, so what. I know I'd watch. ✌️

Richard, your paintings are beautiful and your style (with limited palette and large painting knife) is so wonderful to watch.

[@j.eliotmason18]

Probably my favorite video yet! And I'm pretty sure that flooded gum tree painting is probably my favorite I've seen you paint yet. Unreal! Funny, last time you were there I think I commented how dry and barren everything looked. Now it's so green and full of life.

[@jodiegaulart1134]

I just love watching these videos Richard. The beautiful serenity with birdsong and gentle breezes moving through the trees and on the water is so peaceful. I love watching you mix the colours and place them seemingly so randomly but overall the painting comes alive. You are an amazingly gifted artist. How do you convert the grey colours of the trees to the colours you use and see?

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

Hey thanks for the compliments Jodie, it is wonderful out there! The greys...? Mix the colour that is opposite to it on the colour wheel and it will create subtle greys!

Hi fr S Africa, now that I see how u do it I've decided to rework some paintings that I did use with a palette knife !! Things I gave learn't fr you 1) you don't have to know how to draw, 2) loosen up so as not to paint photographically , I know about leading the eye , contrasts of values and light and reflective lightsource , love light and textures, clouds thanks for your lovely way u give your tutorials and all the other little odd bits u throw in, nice to learn other things about u!!!!

G'day my friend. What a stroke of luck having those beautiful gum trees immersed in the water. Another great study of reflected light and shadow tones. What an adventure you take me on once again. The sounds, the sights, the food, the paint. Magnificent marvelousness magnified mate ;) Had to watch this twice with a break in between to take in the full effect. Once again reinforcing what I have learnt over time. Can't wait for your next adventure Richard. Cheers, Rich

Watched the full video Richard. Great timeline sequence, everything worked for me and the scenes you captured on camera were wonderful. Your small paintings were crazy good, your skills with choosing landscapes and blending colour on the canvas improve over and over the more you’re in your happy camping locations. Don’t forget... the good stuff is in them pumpkin skins also, lol. Full of flavour too. A great video mate and thank you so much for sharing. Enjoyed every second. 👍🎹👍👍

Hi Richard, That was really enjoyable watching. So good to see your creations and the subjects your painting. I am amazed at how you decide what you want to paint and then your just into it. The skill and love for painting that has come with being a professional artist as opposed to just those of us that love painting and get out when we can really shows in your art. Thanks for including all the camping parts and the smaller studies and paintings as well, they really make the video so special, all the best and stay safe. Bill.. .
