Painting Winslow Homer's Stormy Seas at Prouts Neck, with David Dunlop

Painting Winslow Homer's Stormy Seas at Prouts Neck, Maine with David Dunlop .
We would love your to SUBSCRIBE to our Channel!
David and his producing partner Connie Simmons were filming several programs at Prout's Neck, ME, the last home of Winslow Homer, for our new DVD, Painting the Sea. It was the last day of our trip, Connie had packed away our second camera, and we were walking back to the car to leave. We spotted this very evocative place on the rocks in front of Winslow Homer's studio. David really wanted to try to paint a quick oil sketch to catch the mood, but they were very nervous because it was really too foggy and wet to shoot and we only had one camera. But - as always - David prevailed and we shot this very quick oil sketch. It really was too foggy and wet, we didn't have the camera for close-ups as we usually do, but we shot it anyway for fun! So please forgive the blur on the camera lens - we ran out of there as soon as David finished to protect our camera - and we should have left sooner!

What a talent. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. Inspiring!

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Elena, thank you! I happy to share! I have more at my website at daviddunlop.com best, David

[@bluevwlady]

Wow, you did a great fun job painting, even with wet glasses! Very positive attitude. I will look at more!

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

thank you Bluelady! It was an adventure. you might enjoy my online classes at daviddunlop.com

[@anniewait6079]

David! David! No one has ever answered, " When do you add the OIL" You answered the question " When you want the color to SIT UPON the colors already painted, not MIX IN" !!!! THANK YOU FOREVER!!!! annietime13

[@mikekilian1947]

I love this and your series on PBS. You are so free with your strokes and can only hope to emulate your expertise. Thank you for posting here and hope you do more,

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

HI, I am dipping my brush into refined linseed oil. I rarely ever use turpentine when oil painting..no need. This means you can paint in oil without the toxic effects of turpentine fumes. Best, David

[@PawsAndKeys]

Will Gamsol do the trick? That's odorless mineral spirits for other readers

[@777777657]

LOVE THIS! PLEASE PUT MORE VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE. I AM LEARNING SO MUCH FROM YOU AND APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lorencollarile999]

Great painting. You captured the beauty of the weather you had for the short time you had. Turner loved grey weather.

[@PriestPhotios]

I would love to see more of these little clip videos. Your work inspires me.

[@luzaguzman6306]

Excellent example of spontaneity. Thanks a lot.

[@ElisabethDonati]

David...you're a trip. Just found you and love your videos and your being. Thank you!

[@josephineelsom3853]

Wow, what a talented artist you are x

[@twicebittenthasme5545]

Enjoyable to watch. Oils are my preferred media and I love the ocean so this is exactly my interest. The piece looked rather good considering the inclement conditions. Thanks for sharing this...

[@LindaFoote_PencilArtist]

This video is inspiring. I can actually feel myself where you are and doing the same painting. I love it. Thanks.

[@maryraymond3560]

Beautiful and love your energy !!!!!

[@digiphot2]

Kudos from Dabble Dabble land! Your seascape is wonderful! You are the KING of impressionistic dabblers!

[@vivianhaberfeld2013]

Love it, you make it look so easy.

[@Luciavolup]

David, When I first started watching you on PBS, I was amazed, at how you could use just one brush and paper towels and create a work of art. The way you include history and techniques is just icing on the cake. Ive learned so much from your techniques, I can watch a video over and over and still learn something new each time.

[@larrycopley9050]

[@TheLeahsKitchen]

Fantastic - beautiful!

[@mikehendrickson4493]

I watchedall your shows on create TV when you were or was it local PBS (?) and wish you were still on and I really miss your shows. You are a blast to watch and learn so much from you! This was a new show for me to watch and I really enjoyed it. Thanks!

[@renzo6490]

I haven't read all 70+ comments so i might be repeating...but, I think you can substitute Burnt Sienna for the Iron Oxide. He refers to the open side and the closed side. The open side refers to the soft blended edge of the white paint that depicts the foam. The closed side refers to the sharp, hard edge where the white touches the rock. This is a very wonderful video. It all came together the moment he tore off the tape! If you measure the dimensions of the taped area correctly, you can create a painting that will fit perfectly into a standard Mat size. I must say, I rather liked what was created on the palette, too!

[@katiaengel1]

GREAT WORK!! GORGIOUS PAINTINGS!!

[@stotach]

Love it. Love it. Love it.

[@Felicia_m]

Mesmerizing.

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Hi, Felicia_m - Thank you for watching and writing. We are really happy that you enjoyed it! It was extremely fun and challenging to painting on Winslow Homer's rocks in the rain and mist! Good luck with your painting! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@marctanguay2817]

[@jesusgonzalez-qp2rf]

Hi David I saw a video Where you interpret the technique of Homer one of my favorite artist of all ages. I’ll love to see it again but its not on KZbin . Do you have any other page where it can be watched? Greetings from Puerto Rico.

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

[@simonpursertexas]

Cool man nice painting..

[@Rhiannoncout]

Wow in just 15 minutes.

[@theeaselrider4032]

I kept waiting for the ocean to rise up, and sweep you off the rocks. If I were there, I would have painted the lunatic artist, painting the angry sea. I'm sure you must have had people walking by thinking, what is this guy doing? Anything for art.

[@daviddunlop6123]

+Jamie McFarlane , No the weather was to wild for anyone to be out walking by.....Do you recall the story of Turner being tied to a ship mast to witness a storm.?

[@theeaselrider4032]

Yes I do. I also think of James Guthrie and the Glasgow Boys wandering around the Highlands. I still may paint your picture.

[@meredith7236]

Brilliant

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Thank you, Meredith! We really appreciate your comments and thank you for taking the time to write! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@Untilitpases]

Sorry for the abruptness, what do you dip your brush into when cleaning? Is it turpentine?

[@toniasagoo5010]

"Browner I said" 🤗🤗🤗🤣🤣

[@nataly2922]

awesome

[@MrSilva960]

Sometimes even a painter can be victim, to risc a life in places that can be dangerous. Safety is important. Think twice before was too late.

[@lindacamarata3592]

amazing David, love this so much , also love the teaching you do to inform of the history of why and where it came from. your work is like magic to me, but know it is years of doing that counts.

[@Leanchew]

Fabulous painting David! absolutely inspirational! Well done camera crew!

[@lisengel2498]

You are so inspiring in your gestural approach with the big brush, the limited palet and a freedom of expression. Its just so beautifull and very inspiring to watch. Thank you for sharing. I just found your Channel now

[@toniasagoo5010]

Fantastic painting! Great typos and ideas. Thank you for this video 🤗

[@lemonsquishy8400]

Fifteen minutes well spent! Sometimes the best things pop up when one doesn't try so blasted hard. I believe there is quite a bit to be said for impetuous painting. I love the piece. What type of material are you paining on I wonder?

[@joeaccordion]

Wow, another David Dunlap masterpiece. Thank you for sharing.

[@jrhawse]

Beautiful! Your spontaneous sketch is pure delight.

[@rnelson0525]

Beautiful. Wish camera was more close up on painting.

I tried to go to your website but it gives me a warning message that the certificate has expired and that I risk being exposed to a site that is 'pretending' to be you. Can you fix this please so I can visit your site

Great video, David. You’ve got a great skill in capturing this scene so quickly and effectively. I’d have been happier to see you in a life jacket💨

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Dear Alleynap - That is very funny - thank you for watching and for writing - and for your safety concerns! We are really happy that you enjoyed it! Good luck with your painting! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@carlaandphilshadwick1488]

Delightful! and I love surprises! But how do you know when to stop? What if the better image was 10 minutes before you stopped?

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Thank you for watching, Carla and Phil! We appreciate your kind words! The image will always just keep changing as you continue! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@GayleAlstrom]

good lesson in seascape

[@MonicaLovesDogs]

As the video proceeds, the fog gets thicker and thicker! Nice video, thanks 😊

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

HI, Monica - Thank you for watching! It was hilarious to paint in that situation! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@BvrBrn1232]

David, You inspired me so much with your painting tutorials. You are an excellent teacher. Your personality reminds me of the David Dunlap I went to school with in Springfield, Mass. When I saw your face I could not help but to smile. I seem to recognize you as a previous classmate. Thank you for your videos. Love also the history incorporated into your lessons. 🙂

[@geraldbalciarjr651]

very nice.

[@dennyg1053]

Hey David, You're having too much fun at Prouts Neck. Great stuff. What is the support you're painting on? Thanks, denny g

[@ieronimo18]

Very nice!

[@libbyzando849]

Yes very inspiring! Loretta D. told me to look you up...so glad I did. Love the looseness of your work. Yet the accuracy in color, movement and texture is not lost. What kind of paper are you working with? Love to do plein aire...but work with canvas... Libby Z

[@sandracarroll486]

Loved watching you work . I did not see easy, but rather years of dedicated study ,observation,and practice! I guess maybe you could be a genius. your gift is amazing. SANDRA

[@DaveGmn]

The final is magnificent... especially liked the brushwork at 5:32 & 5:47 (horizontal touches of light colors), the 'slooshing' at 7:12, the light spilling over the dark rocks at 9:01. Nicely done... hope you didn't lose any Schneider glass!

[@jendesign5537]

Hi David. I just found you and I am so amazed by your talent! Can not wait to watch all of your videos, this is my third. Learning a lot to apply. Can you tell me what surface you are painting on, it looks to be smooth. Thank you!

[@renzo6490]

I see that David hasn't replied, so I will take a stab at an answer: He has taped or somehow affixed the paper that he is using as a palette onto the right half of a long board. ( There is disposable palette paper that you can buy, use and throw away ) My guess is that he is painting on canvas paper taped to the same board. You can buy canvas paper by the pad. Or perhaps he is just painting on a piece of regular canvas that he has gesso'd.

[@dixcreative]

I love you
