I am amazed every time I watch you paint. In the beginning it just looks messy! Then by the time you are finished the mess is gone and pure colourful beauty is stating back at me. You are an inspiration!!!

[@joanholmes3382]

With all the very thick paint I wondered where you were going at first but I liked the end result. Good job!

[@turnervinson]

haha, I know what you mean. I feel that way sometimes too!

[@pleinaire8698]

WOW!! fantastic painting, Turner. Your greens are sooo varied...aspen look strong..and a great composition! You really use a lot of PAINT!!

[@turnervinson]

thank you!

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

Love how the greens harmonize together and dont over power the painting 🎨

[@turnervinson]

thank you, Tez. that was the hope!

OMG! Excellent video,incredible painting. Those greens,wow!🙌🏼

[@turnervinson]

Thank you, thank you 🙏🏻

[@normg2242]

One of my favorites of yours...! I love the depth...

[@dankennedy553]

Having watched many of your videos I really loved this one. A great piece of advice to just stop when not feeling the creative juices rather than perhaps push on and make a mess or poor decision. Thank you for that advice and this video. Dan K.

[@turnervinson]

thank you for the kind words, Dan!

[@MargaretSabatino]

I absolutely love this painting ...love the thick paint. Great job.. I have been binge watching your work 😊😜

[@turnervinson]

awe, thanks! Glad you're enjoying them! This painting is my current show here in Montana!

[@doresavendano2606]

I LOVE this picture, congratulations ☺️

[@jcherry650]

I appreciate seeing both sessions.

[@turnervinson]

good to hear, thank you

[@brittarussak5035]

Absolutely fantastic.

[@turnervinson]

Many thanks!

[@nancygardner7229]

When you put in the darker tree on the right, the painting instantly came together!!! Hope to take one of you workshops!!!

[@turnervinson]

Thank you, Nancy. Come join us in July here in Montana!

[@normg2242]

Watching you squeeze the living daylight out of those tubes is so satisfying...lol

[@jordi5284]

Maravilloso

[@LearningPleinAir]

I think you caught the colorful grays and greens on this cloudy day, great job I love it

[@turnervinson]

Thank you very much!

[@enriquepupo6844]

Great job, i love the tecnic.

[@jimreid9674]

I love the thick paint too but I have to get over the cost and putting it out and using it like it was free. This is one of your best ones IMHO. Interesting contrast in using the mop then the rigger. That works well.

[@Mikes10241]

Great job Turner. I'm amazed at how you can get a tree painted in over all thick paint.

[@turnervinson]

thank you, Mike.

[@debbiepeachie3868]

Good job looking good

[@user-vy2fm9dh5e]

Like your paintings. The green and this kind normal bush are the hardest things for me. Learned from your video.

[@turnervinson]

Thank you so much! Glad you found something helpful!

[@lindasteere1873]

I like seeing all of the greens you are using on this one but I like when you tell us why you are using a warm vs. cool green, etc. Thanks for sharing your technique.

[@turnervinson]

I understand, Linda. I like making these videos each week, but it's nice for me to have the flexibility of not having to do a "demo" every week and talk my way through it. Some sessions I just really need to focus on the painting. Hope those videos are still helpful though!

[@joanholmes3382]

No worries. It looks good from here!

[@turnervinson]

thank you!

I love to paint trees our irish trees are so much like these your concept of greenery is amazing congrats from the land of 40 shades (think you might have a couple more)😂☘

[@turnervinson]

thank you so much!

[@Ebutuoy333]

Interesting to see you bring the whole canvas along at once (Could partly be the way it seems because of editing I understand). Would love a look when you consider it finished.

[@turnervinson]

thank you! I do pretty much bring the whole thing together at once, skipping around the canvas the whole time

[@rubinamajeed984]

Amazing work of Art ......!! I have found it very different and interesting the way you paint especially using so many beautiful vibrant colours Loved it ! Watching your way to paint is a great learning process Thanks a lot

[@turnervinson]

[@douglasacosta4989]

Grün ist immer schwierig, kann schnell zu Petersilienfeld werden, der graue Himmel rettet die Malerei..... sehr schön gelöst. Danke.

[@helennewport1693]

Who is filming you? It seems like there is another person as you approach your scene for instance. If you do it by yourself, how do you manage that?

[@turnervinson]

Just me, using a tripod

[@oliviasspace5584]

I really love your videos

[@turnervinson]

Thank you

Well done!

thank you!

[@bobgoodnoe4583]

Nicely done, sir. I’d enjoy an exhibit featuring you and George Rowlett. Not as to compete, but to complement one another. You are a talented chap. (Again ... a bit late on viewing this video but still catching up).

[@ThomasFisherArt]

Well executed.

[@turnervinson]

thank you, Thomas

[@sandrapatterson]

How do you keep that thick paint from getting all over everything?!! How long do they take to dry to the touch?

[@johnslawson3917]

1st time viewer from Canada Turner, great job, keep up the good work, I love doing scenes like this. John Slawson, Canada

[@johnslawson3917]

You must know Taylor Lynde

[@turnervinson]

Welcome! thanks for the comment!

[@turnervinson]

I actually don't know Taylor Lynde

[@waynesimmerson5018]

I've been wanting to try plain air with my oils for years but havent because Im concerned about transporting a wet oil paining. How do you do it?

[@turnervinson]

If I'm traveling, I'm typically painting smaller and have several wet panel carriers to hold my paintings. But when painting my home area, I just lay the wet painting in the very back of my car. It certainly helps to have a car you don't mind getting paint on, haha! But you can easily buy a cardboard box to set your painting in if needed. Certainly don't let it stop you from trying it out!

[@claudiavelacaceres2166]

Bonita obra de arte

[@yarlagaddasurendrakumar.ar6021]

I love u r painting

[@turnervinson]

thank you

[@tinipants2]

Turner is.one.of.few ..an artist actuallly looking at something and painting it in his eye. An artist in the field. Hey Turner id like to share some of my art with u.also where do u sell

[@turnervinson]

wow, thank you. I currently have some work in Santa Fe at 5. Gallery, and at Art Focus in Hamilton, Mt

[@outtour2525]

I have just started painting outside and this might be a stupid question but how do I transport a wet canvas? I have to walk 3 miles and then 3 miles back through woodland ect to get to the good spots

[@turnervinson]

Not a dumb question at all. A six mile round trip is quite a haul with painting gear! You might want to look at the company RayMar. They make some great and very light weight panel carriers. I've made my own out of wood, but the RayMar boxes are much lighter. Good luck!

[@outtour2525]

Turner Vinson thank you! I will check them out...yeah it's quite hard sometimes because there is a lot of hills but just makes setting up and painting that much more rewarding! I have subscribed, new to your videos and I'm learning a lot! Great stuff

[@isabellefoubert785]

Super Turner ! Ce que tu fais est très vivant, puissant, et moi qui n'aime pas trop le vert , là je trouve ça vachement beau. Très beau tableau. Vrai travail de vrai peintre

[@turnervinson]

[@TrudieTiger70]

Just stunning. Love the way you paint. Do you use a medium w your oil paint ?

[@turnervinson]

Thank you! I use some odorless mineral spirits but thats it.

[@kyststudio-epicartadventure]

I’m surprised at how much you like your Yarka easel. I found me problematic, bad screws, too low... I ended up getting a Mabef, but it is heavy. Trying a Soho pochade now. I’m thinking about getting a Take-it easel copy. I love paint huge, even outdoors. Wind is a challenge. Often I anchor with bungees and tent stakes. Weight doesn’t always work. Sigh.

[@turnervinson]

just gotta find what works for you

[@tinipants2]

How come the time between the first day and second day..how come it doesnt show him falling asleep

U should put a marker wherever u painted. In years people can visitp

Just yhink a oily kind of leather scrap brush cleaner would stop the shissshing sounds when he uses that paper towel to clean with

[@turnervinson]

lol, I've never heard anyone bothered with this! I have wanted to find something other than paper towels to use, but certainly not because of the sound, lol!

[@tinipants2]

Try a scrap leather piece..it becomes Like an instrument too for your brush

[@turnervinson]

[@bobymox]

Too much green on your paintings.There is no dept and you loose composition.It would be better if you would play between light and shadows.Preppare diferent tons of green on your palet,and use other colours.Just friendly advise.God luck!!
