Plein Air Oil Painting on the cliffs | Bedruthan Steps

Oil painting en plein air on the cliffs near Bedruthan Steps on the North Cornwall coast.
What a great afternoon I had, painting the incredibly dramatic coastline on the North Cornwall coast. It was beautiful but like most clifftop locations - it was windy!
I am currently working towards an exhibition at Whitewater Contemporary Gallery in Polzeath. The subject matter will be paintings from this North Cornwall coastline.
Hope you enjoy the video - bye for now - Andrew

What a stunning view! You're painting is stunning as well. You really did it justice. Can't wait to see you work on the larger version. Thanks Andrew!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you very much Lynette

[@evechabot]

Beautiful oil sketch! I love green blue Colors. It's not easy to paint with oil outdoors, especially if it's windy. Very nice spot! I found your channel with your video on exterior egg tempera painting. I stole some stuff for my own experience. THANKS to share 😊

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you so much 😀 Glad you are enjoying the videos Eve

[@JulieGeelan]

Wow. What a gorgeous bit of coastline. The rocks are stunning. A great video and painting ❤ I certainly look forward to seeing your larger painting of this scene and hopefully a video of your painting process 🤞

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Many thanks Julie - I have just started the large painting and I am videoing the process

[@kvz9863]

Beautiful painting, fun cinematography 😁 Looking forward to seeing the larger studio piece!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jennifernichols8403]

Beautiful painting and scene. Reminds me of California coast.. 😊❤

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you so much Jennifer

[@janeibar8774]

Oh what a treat Andrew! Thank you! Your colours are so good and I shall be most interested to see the studio version as well. The colours in the sea resemble the aqua around our northern NZ coast. Perhaps we might be lucky enough to see you mixing these in the studio version as you have really nailed it...(no pressure!!!) Good to see you and your daughter enjoying your Northern Summer. All the best.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Many thanks Jan - I will definitely film the larger painting process and include some colour mixing shots. Best wishes from Cornwall

[@Nancy-tr5fi]

I like your "attack" on your neighborhood. 😂Wish I lived by the sea, instead I live in the desert. (beautiful too) Something about how you ....dive..into your painting, drawings that inspires my work.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

I absolutely love it!!! I want to live there 😊

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Lovely place

[@jamiewardley1936]

Lovely painting. I was walking that exact spot last month beautiful place. I wish I gave myself time to sketch it in watercolour but got some lovely reference pictures in. Well done 👍 the scene can change so quickly

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you so much Jamie

[@user-ff7nj7bv4j]

That is a nice little painting in itself. Brilliant coastline. I came across your recent painting from the Beacon on FaceBook. Nice work. Enjoyed seeing your other artworks in your studio tour from the last video. Cheers. 😊

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you very much 😃

[@keithheaven176]

Your Michael Harding Pthalo Blue and White looks a lot like Winsor and Newton's Manganese Blue (Hue) - I'm sure there are subtle differences I can't see on screen, but it's one of W & N's colours that I rather like, for a bit of oomph in the sky. Still, given a choice, I'd always opt for Michael Harding paints. And - you did! It's always good to see you paint, even when Basil hasn't joined you (hope he's well) and I do hope you make a bigger study of this, and post it on here. I was GOING to ask you a question, but - totally forgotten it: what fun it is to be getting older - NOT. I've delayed posting my comment, but no - the question won't come.... bugger!

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

Might it have been about Cadmiums - don't know that it was! But, it has struck me recently - Cadmium Yellow is of course a big, strong, take no prisoners yellow: opaque, powerful, nothing stronger. But - I've used it for years, to make greens, oranges etc - and looking at my stuff, I see so much of it as crude, brutal, not so much in your face as blasting through your face - I wonder if you ever feel that it's so powerful as to be crude, as subtle as a Panzer tank, and, well - just too strong and too obvious? Obviously, when you need it, you really need it - but like Pthalo Green and Blue, I so often feel I just don't like it at all ... painting is about a lot more than choice of colours, I know: but when I want subtle - I'm going nowhere near the Cadmiums - trouble is, when I want strength of colour = where else am I going to go? Oh it does get difficult!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

I prefer Manganese blue. Michael Harding markets the pthalo blue as a replica for manganese but I find it very different. Cadmiums are great but I find the yellow takes ages to dry 👍🏻

[@janlangford2179]

That was great Andrew, I love your honesty, nice to know you get distracted too. Look forward to watching the studio version. Hope Basil is ok

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thanks so much Jan. Basil is doing well thank you

[@loramay21]

I love using unbleached Titanium instead of white and just using Titanium white for the important highlights

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

It seems to work well doesn’t it

[@tonycrawford7742]

fantastic.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you

[@lindafitz9349]

The colors in the water is amazingly beautiful. Is it Phthalo blue and white, cobalt or ultramarine blue, mixed with green. So amazing.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you. Mainly pthalo blue for this one 👍🏻

[@astrobrown]

A beautiful sketch, but I was a bit distracted by the absence of Basil.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you. Too close to the edge of the cliff top for Basil

[@WTFlorida]

Another enjoyable, entertaining vid, Andrew!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@meredith7236]

Do you think you will paint it with same dancing strokes on large canvas cos that would be exciting

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Maybe I will - we’ll see how it goes

[@Lindsey-y6m]

Really inspiring . Thanks

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

My pleasure

[@simonnemason2162]

[@mjjames2442]

Which blue is giving you that turquoise sea color? I’d Love to see you pallet as you mix

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

It’s a pthalo blue and lemon yellow mix for this one

[@meredith7236]

Very Jurassic Park
