Plein air in oils | Introducing my new mobile studio 'Clarabelle' and my channel's new direction.

[@jaimejaime1178]

Hi Paul. Jim from Madrid, Spain (a New Yorker expat living abroad). You are one lucky man to have Clarabelle with you in your Art Adventures (my wife doesn't like to share me with another "gal"!). God knows I can use a Clarabelle in my plein air trips! 😓😃😁👍 Hope this summer you can go out for many more plein air sessions. Cheers from Sunny Spain! 😁👍😎

Hah, I like that Jaime. Yes, an understanding woman is essential. I bet Spain is awesome for plein air. now you are the lucky chap, cheers P

Congratulations! Clarabelle seems to be very cosy and the video was much more than watchable, it was wonderful. I had allways been dreaming of a camper, and when I finally got one (I am 60+), it was just like I had dreamed or even more. I had not been even inside of one before, but when we, me and my dog, started our first trip it was like we never had been doing anything else. We left quite late, so we spent our first night in a vast (in Finnish scale) parking place of a twin gas station. There has never been happier campers in that place, I swear. It was sweet to go to sleep and hear how big trucks slowly rumbled by to their resting area. My camper is an old Fiat Ducato Hymer, and I love it. My dog adapted to camper life from the first moment, and sleeps on the passenger front seat. I got the same happy feeling from your video as I have in my camper. The painting is beautiful, it's the special moment when the sun looks back, like we say in Finland. I wish you great adventures with Clarabelle!

Arh that is so very nice and apologies from me for the very late reply. I really enjoyed reading your lovely message and the feeling that it conveyed to me. I sadly do not get the chance to get out in Clarabelle as often as I would like, maybe 2024 will be better. has your Hymer a name? They are large vans if I remember correctly and spacious, that Id enjoy. cheers P

I oil paint too. It's my favorite paint, but quite expensive sometimes. I decided to try watercolors before Christmas and ended up making Christmas cards this year using watercolors. I had so much trouble with detail when using watercolor paints because unlike oils you can't make really dark shades and with oils you can.....it's so different. 😂 I'm such a detail oriented person. Beautiful painting btw. Happy New Year to you & your family!

Hello Paul and Clarabelle! I really love the tonal monochrome start to the painting and the use of the cotton bud, it almost seems a shame to paint over it! Although, I hasten to add, the final study is lovely. Would it be possible to do a demo explaining more of this technique, I'd be very interested to learn more. Nice to see you looking so relaxed and comfortable inside Clarabelle, looks like you were made for each other...many happy adventures to come I hope x

Cool WEndy yes I will do more wipe out videos in the future, thanks again P

And just when I thought I had bought all my art supplies. Now I have got to get myself a Calarabelle.

[@paulsmobilestudio]

You can't go wrong with a Clarabelle Robert trust me cheers P

I love your sandwichmaker! Is it only for use with a gas stove? Or would it also work on a electro stove? Congrats to your Clarabelle 🎉

[@paulsmobilestudio]

To be fare I am unsure, except to say if you use an induction hob, it would not be good, cheers P

[@billbevan9813]

It can only get better Paul, maybe you can use the burnt piece as charcoal. 😁👍

[@paulsmobilestudio]

Lol not a bad shout Bill, as you say can only get better, one hopes. cheers P

[@tonyrayner9266]
