Plein Air Painting: Driveway Sunflowers

[@chopin65]

I shared this on Twitter. This was beautiful to experience. I could endlessly watch artists work. I am a poet, and painters can do everything I can't. It's like going for a walk, and watching an eagle fly high above me. The sound of a dog barking, your boy asking questions in the background, your brush loaded with sunshine, clouds, and mountains, I could feel the summer heat on my neck, the bees being bees. All of the senses are activated. The witness is alive. It is wordless. Thanks for the experience. Cheers.

Beautiful painting! It reminds me of van Gogh. You have to consume tons of paints :-))) I love your bold, expressive brush strokes! It´s perfect!

[@rameshadhikari8092]

I love the way u put paint generously on the pallette. I would make 20 paintings out of that much paint.

[@turnervinson]

I do love the textural qualities of oil paint!

[@leesnar6732]

oil paint is expensive too! People don't always appreciate what it takes to do a painting.

[@jennifercocharan4526]

Ur jealous....admit it. When you see that paint coming out of those tubes....you wish it was you.

[@131dyana]

a neighbor on a main street by my house does not have grass in the yard.In spring and early summer they have flowers. My son gave me a wagon. It has paints, brushes, a portable easel and i found a fold up chair. All I need is my shade hat some water for brushes and iced tea for me and this fall I am going to out and paint that yard and add the flowers from my telephone from last spring. thanks for sharing your Sunflowers.

Fascinating video, Turner. Foregoing the running commentary gave it an enjoyable Zen-like feeling. Your logical decisions and the paint itself spoke volumes. Excellent work!

[@turnervinson]

Awesome to hear that. thank you

[@rtk3543]

When you started squeezing all that paint out I knew we were in for a treat and you didn't disappoint. I'm glad you didn't just stick some sunflowers in a pot and paint them, the random arrangement made for a more interesting and challenging composition, great work.

[@turnervinson]

thanks a lot RTK!

I honestly like the composition before you added the sunflower on the side...I liked how it drew your eye around the flowers and back to the mountains. I’m not a pro though just my personal opinion. It is still very lovely in the end.

[@kurtschuitema6869]

Love this painting and all of your work. What do you use to thin the paint when you are sketching on the canvas, gambol or terpenoid? Nextly, do you use any medium as you paint on thicker layers or just paint undiluted?

[@hazelcoate9203]

very nice, 3D even, great work

[@turnervinson]

Thanks a lot!

[@akarkop]

I just watched the Interior Forest Scene as you painted it. I'm always struck by how soft and juicy your paint is, even as it comes out of the tube so much more easily than the paint I use. Do you add something to the paint in the tubes? I know a painter who covers his paint with safflower oil I think, to keep it from hardening on his palette. I know you paint every day mostly, but even out of the tube they seem really pliable.

[@turnervinson]

I'm not adding anything to my tubes, just straight paint how it comes. All brands do have some differences is their viscosity. I actually don't like paint that's too buttery and smooth, but has a nice body to it. not sure if that makes sense

[@tuttleart]

@@turnervinson which would you recommend for good body to it? I was looking at trying the SoHo brand at Jerry Artarama and have heard Windsor and Newton good brand for beginners as well. I'm not a beginner painter but have had terribley finding right paint for myself. I paint very similar to you very little thinner and thickly. I love the brushwork you do! My favorite so far has been Gamblin 1980 colors, but they are very expensive. I'd like to find something more affordable that still has good body like u said not too buttery

[@turnervinson]

@@tuttleart recently I've been using a lot of paint from the brand Van Gogh, but their white is too "buttery" for me. So I've been using either a Russian brand, Ladoga, or Blick Studio Titanium white

[@tuttleart]

@@turnervinson yes I am going to try the Blick titanium white, but otherwise oil paint is oil paint to me so I don't get hung up on brands either. Thanks so much for this helpful tip!

At 2:47 you have a abstract...woman holding her children. Do you see it?

[@stevebyrne5048]

Very nice Turner, I have a couple of questions, firstly how long would a painting like that take to dry with the thick layers you use, secondly how many paintings do you get from 1 large tube of paint!. Hope you dont mind the questions.

[@turnervinson]

This was painted during one of the hottest times of the year, and was dry to the touch in just a couple of days actually. Of course it can take a very long time for the thickest areas to dry solid. And for the tubes of paint, really it just depends on which color and what time of year. I go through tons of titanium white all year around, but not near as much alizarin crimson!

how long does it take for your painting to dry???

[@turnervinson]

in the summer, when this was painted, it can be dry to the touch in just a few days. but right now, even in the house, my paintings can take weeks to just dry to the touch.

[@emmalouie1663]

Nice!

[@fernqueiroz]

Muito bom! Inspiração em Vincent.

Does it take about a year to dry ?

[@turnervinson]

it may take that long to dry all the way through, or even longer. But I actually remember this painting actually being dry to the touch just two days later. But that was in the heat of summer, so the paint was drying much quicker
