Plein Air Painting: A Dahlia Garden

[@EvieVermont]

Ive never watched a full plein air episode before now. Fascinating. I paint in watercolor. This video lets me know why--you are so patient and know what you want it to look like before you begin. Wow.

[@rayvila7761]

You're so wonderful at what you do, thanks so much Ray Vila...

[@tanyashalaby9092]

I totally agree Thank you Jessica, I am interested to try oils. I’ve done about 2 years with watercolour and 1 year with acrylic paint. I love your technique and lovely positive voice and guidance. God bless you.

[@magnuswootton6181]

i love flowers done that way, get a good effect out of them.

[@kathyharry4122]

Love your brush work on this garden painting. You did such a beautiful job. Wow,

[@loreleibell6287]

Enjoyed this. I shared to my facebook.

[@sandrapowers6099]

You got to use "a lot" of that beautiful bright clear green in Ireland, huh😊🍀? You are having quite a bit of wind! Good that you stabilized your easel??? This painting is looking so fresh and alive. This Arboretum must be very beautiful?! In this plein air setting, you are also showing us how painting settings aren't always ideal......but fight on...capturing the beauty😊 Enjoying!

[@pollyclarke341]

What a beautiful location! I love how thick the paint is for your dahlias. A pleasure to watch as always.

[@lillyshelton8224]

What a beautiful painting. I like your style.I’m addicted to your videos try to watch when I can.

[@jessicasorenson4829]

Love watching you paint :) It's so relaxing and inspirational. I love hearing your thought process and the little nuggets you teach and share as you paint. I am a beginner, so I find it very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talent

[@JessicaHenry]

Wonderful! Thanks, Jessica!

[@joanistotler8804]

So instructive! I went out to plein air this morning and it looked so good from a distance, but ended up being a wiper when I got home. LOL! Still learning and forget to do all those things you pointed out that you were doing along the way. I'm going to watch it again and take notes!

[@fionadent7800]

Hey Jessica, that is a lovely painting and I really enjoyed watching you painting it. I learned quite a lot which I can use in my landscape painting and that is why I sought you out. The balance between watching you paint and explanations and tips was just right. However initially I would have liked more of a view of what you were actually painting. It is so nice to watch a vid that is not all about a self obsessed artist and his/her opinions on art and their paintings lol. Well done on your work and thank you very much, of course I will subscribe, I would be daft not to: Best regards Fiona.

[@pattiwilkinson6753]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for teaching as you work!

[@sophiefly4258]

thanks for sharing Jessica. So nice, so beautiful…so talented..

[@TheComerD]

great job, Jessica! I like how you used a nice color harmony while giving good depth perception and the sheer beauty of the garden. Keep on!

[@michaeloates7321]

Love your technique and your smile :)

[@eveeichner3627]

Jessica! I so enjoyed this tutorial so much! Stunning work! Your an inspiration!

[@1Thedairy]

I’ve just spent a very happy 45 mins over coffee and breakfast watching your beautiful video. What a great way to start the day! I live across the pond but my daughter used to live in NY and it’s great to see you have these wonderful peaceful areas to paint. Your videos are very informative and extremely helpful and I thoroughly enjoyed it. How you worked in the wind so successful is very skilful.

[@JessicaHenry]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you've enjoyed them!

[@lindakriegel5552]

Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us! Beautiful!

[@JessicaHenry]

[@donaldserpette3792]

[@JessicaHenry]

[@lilie9410]

Love that. Beautiful!

[@alexis5350]

Loved this so much! Very helpful information too....thank you!

[@sandrapowers6099]

Somebody once told me about adding a little bit of yellow to white, really makes the white "pop"!

[@charleswebster2682]

Like the thick paint

[@raadkamelalabrahim4615]

Ur selection for landscapes are so cool , course u r Rose

[@peterbunyan8297]

Yes, you are back. :)

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you Peter, Yep, I was in Italy and Ireland for 2 weeks making some videos!

[@ВинограднаяЛоза-к6л]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@418SurferGirl]

I just subscribed to your channel! I've really enjoyed your videos. You are such a sweet person! It just takes me forever to finish a painting, I am hoping that I can move along more quickly after watching more of your videos. I love to bring my artwork outside, but I get attacked by bees and every other bug you can imagine LOL. I too had a pet chicken. Her name was Daffodil! Thanks again Jessica!

[@JessicaHenry]

Thanks so much! :)

[@mikmarjas]

So beautiful!!

[@jeffbond5483]

I really like the way you paint, and I think you’re doing the best art show on youtube. I have a couple questions: *What do you call an artist that can paint portrait, still life, and plein air landscapes all with or without the use of photographs? You can even paint a self portrait from a mirror. *Is there a genre you most comfortable with?

[@JessicaHenry]

Thanks, Jeff, I couldn't decide- I love them all and would feel a certain emptiness if I stopped doing even one genre.

[@claudiozanovello9743]

Nice video congratulations

[@YotaStyle]

Hi Jess, beautiful location and enjoyed this video!!! XO Yota

[@JessicaHenry]

Thanks Yota! :)

[@charleswebster2682]

Hi Jessica really finding your painting demo,s very helpful I have yet to paint plein air but I will keep painting do you think it important to be trained at art school or can self taught artists be just as good I think the mixing off the colors becomes easer and more natural with practice thanks again Charles

[@PeterChorao]

nice painting and video!

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you!

[@nancylee1361]

Hi Jessica, I always enjoyed your art demos, can you tell me what name of your plein air pouch box? Thank you for your art demos again.

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you Nancy, It's an "Open Box M" and I have the smallest one- I love that it fits in my back pack and weight 1.25 lbs!

[@chocolatcats]

very nice but what was the word for solvent at the beginning? is that for cleaning your brush...this is very enjoyable..you're so talented.

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you Keri, I use a solvent called Gamsol, a product by Gamblin.

[@lillyshelton8224]

Do you start with a fresh pallet every time you paint? You truly are so generous with all your painting information I feel like I am in a workshop learning from you. Thank you so much

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you Lilly! Since I paint everyday (or just about) I just keep the paint in place. Sometimes I'll scrape the dry stuff off after it builds up.

[@Lauragld]

Love to watch your process...thanks so much for your generous videos :) How do you mount your paintings once they are finished? Do you mount the on board or stretch them? Thanks again Jessica...

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you Laura, I use Neutral pH Adhesive glue. You can get it from art stores. just brush it on the panel, lay the painting down, roll it with a protective sheet, and then press between heavy books over night.

[@Lauragld]

Thank you Jessica :)

[@lorrainedespres3129]

What is the name of your painting box, I’ve just ordered some material from Renaissance Art , this system. would complement my start up. Thank you so much for your online teaching.

[@JessicaHenry]

its www.openboxm.com I love it! It's 1.25 lbs!

[@rarerepair]

At 2:50 "Totally acceptable" ☺️

[@encouraginghope7657]

Great video!! Thank you for how you share! I am a newbie to oil painting - would you ever consider doing a few beginner lessons? Thank you! How was Ireland- I hope you'll share

[@JessicaHenry]

Thanks so much! This is a YT video I did for the very beginner! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXrVpqetmrp9mbM

[@ВинограднаяЛоза-к6л]

Hi Jessica! I have a question. Have you ever flown with your paints, oil, and so on? If yes, could you share with us, please, your experience and to give us some advices how it goes? Thank you!

[@JessicaHenry]

Yes, many times, all over the world. Just yesterday I made this video with information on traveling with your oil paints and what you need to know and pack for regulations. I am not sure what airport you are flying out of, but I assume that airports all over the world would operate under the same regulations. Anyway, here is the link to yesterdays video. In the section below the video is a complete packing list and a PDF link to a document to keep with your paints to help the airlines accept that they are safe for air travel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5DXZ3SojNGEgJI

Love your videos, but please invest in a muffler and a better camera tripod. I had to stop watching as the wobbling made me feel motion sickness. I love your work and picture at the end. Sorry to be a negative ninny.

[@sonjagartnerart]

time-lapse and/or less talk would have been better...
