Beautiful love painting rocks

[@sawmoeminart]

Woo it is very beautiful outdoor painting. ❤❤

[@nancyparker2516]

Very nice painting and great demo. Thank you very much! I do understand what you mean about painting alone. I’m an older woman and am alone most of the time now since my husband of 50 years passed away last Sept. I always thought how wonderful it would be to have time to paint more. Now I have the time but I have a hard time finding the motivation I once had. Also I am very timid and afraid to go out on my own. Oh well, I really enjoyed your video. Thank you very much and be careful !

Love, love your work!

[@erneststevenson3872]

I liked the spontaneity in your style, the sequencing of the layers, and the genuineness of your personality. Great art!

[@JessicaHenry]

Thanks so much Ernest!

I love when you show the split screen shot comparing what you are viewing ..,to your painting ...great job Jessica.

[@JessicaHenry]

Thanks Marcy! I really appreciate that, I try to think about what and when I would like to see it if I was watching someone paint. I'm happy it helps!

[@coinkydink3984]

Absolutely lovely... you did a great job.

[@angelakarter6269]

Beautiful Jessica, it is sooo appreciated the lengthy videos to see beginning to end with the plein air. It's very generous of you and extremely helpful!! You are amazing, thank you for sharing!!

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you so much Angela! I have to speed them up double, but I personally think that helps. I'm glad you're enjoying the longer format!

[@isabellefoubert785]

Super

[@LearningPleinAir]

[@GinnySmith700]

Great job! So realistic.

[@paulbaldwin6803]

Jessica, Thank you for posting this video. I've just started painting creek and river scenes with submerged rocks. It's a fun challenge. Enjoyed your process very much. Stay safe!

[@JessicaHenry]

Thanks Paul! Have fun with those rocks and water! It is definitely a fun challenge!

[@shahzadqurashi7728]

Beautiful work

[@henriquejanuario881]

Great vídeo and painting! Thanks for sharing!

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you Henrique!

[@luigi5890]

Jessica, only you can make a pile of rocks look beautiful LOL Sometime consider doing a short video on what you pack for a plein air painting session. If you do a video, please include how you transport a wet painted canvas. Ill have to get out and try plein air painting sometime. And thank for not distracting us to much with that beautiful smile of yours. LOL

[@maria-doloresvazquez-abad4221]

Check Jessica's channel: she has several videos on what to pack, how and if you travel by ai how she recommends you label the colors (for checked luggage). She is an incredible educator. Loli

[@luigi5890]

@@maria-doloresvazquez-abad4221 Thanks for the information Maria.

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you, Luigi! Yes, I have several videos on packing for plein air outings and travel. If you are unable to locate them, let me know and I will attach the links. Thanks!

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you Maria! :)

[@1010jcm]

We have a small group of plain air artists doing a series of outings this fall here near Cape Cod and I can’t wait to use your rock in water painting techniques. As always, great info and fun video! Thanks Jess! Be well!

[@JessicaHenry]

Oh wow, I'd love to paint in Cape Cod, have fun! Thanks!

[@momopaints]

Lovely painting. We just came back from vacation in Yellowstone, I painted while out there and safety took on a whole knew meaning when having to watch your back for bear or buffalo! But yes, always a good thing to be safe and take water 😉. I love your work. I may go down to our creek this week and give it a shot!

[@JessicaHenry]

Wow! I hope you didn't encounter too much wild life! What an awesome place to paint! I love that about plein air, what an incredible way to get up close and personal with a location. Painting it's portrait is to know it deeply and understand it. Have fun with this! Thanks!

[@myrnaluswenson4354]

Happy anniversary. Thanks for being here.

[@anelisemaggetti5459]

Amazing plainar instructions! I love your videos, happy anniversary!! Thanks for sharing your art lovely art work.

[@JessicaHenry]

Thank you, Anelise!

[@timothyclark6079]

Very nice piece Jessica.

[@JessicaHenry]

Thanks Timothy!

[@paletteeasel9083]

Good advice all around. Paint with a buddy.

[@JessicaHenry]

I'd like to, but when I am able to go, it's usually spur of the moment. Sometimes it's nice to paint with others, other times, I enjoy my time to be quiet and peaceful.

[@dm3609]

Love this! Still working on my water & believable sparkles! I'm trying to work out the time so I can take the portrait workshop! Thank you for inspiring videos 😊

[@JessicaHenry]

Thanks! Water is great fun and the challenge of it all makes it engaging and interesting! I'm glad you're enjoying the adventure! There is still room in the portrait workshop, I'm going to start promoting it more, so I don't know how long those spots will remain open. I hope you can make it! :)

[@peterbunyan3924]

Often thought that about you being out in remote places for your safety, nice painting though. All that water but not safe to drink? :)

[@JessicaHenry]

Isn't that the case~ All the water, and half way up climbing out of there, I thought, "Why didn't I get my scarf (that I always have tied around my backpack) wet from the river and tie it loosely around my neck at least! That's why I have it! Haha! Oh well, live and learn.

[@MrNoochie7312]

Is this Berea Falls? I was just there about 2 weeks ago. I've been meaning to paint one of the pictures I took (facing the falls)

[@JessicaHenry]

It's near Cleveland, not as far south as Berea. Likely the same river, though!

[@jand9770]
