Plein Air Painting Joshua Tree with Michael Chamberlain & Ariah Myles

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Had a great time painting with you Dennis! Look forward to painting Laguna sometime!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Absolutely! Explore some more colors...very different color mixes.

[@lalat7260]

Lovely painting, I follow both you and Richard, you all paint beautifully. I am working hard at trying to improve. Thank you once again for sharing

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

I would love to see some of your work. Send me a message on Instagram and share some. If I can help you, I’m happy to do so.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Really beautiful color and lighting!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Sarah!!! I know you’ve been busy but I hope your doing well with it.

[@marymindfull]

Thanks for sharing Dennis. What a small world. I have been watching you and Michael on KZbin for some time now. I have enjoyed all the videos you both share. My kids and Michael grew up in the same town and they went to the same high school so I have felt a connection. Love your painting. You did a good job.

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

He’s awesome! And I’m so happy to have found some painting buddies in Cali! I love the KZbin community

[@walterbruning7307]

Very nice interpretation of a Joshua Tree Monument earth mound. You handled the light and shadow in an exciting manner.

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Thanks Walter! I’m excited to get back out to that area before too long.

[@antheablackmore5838]

Also meant to say I loved the music too....just altogether a delight !

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Thanks for saying that...My music choices can be polarizing in the comments sometimes.

[@veronicagreen6180]

I really enjoyed seen your videos ,the desert it’s a challenge,,what a nice surprise to se Michael w you,,so cool ,i fallow him too.enjoy your time there and come to south Utah,and Zion you guy will love to paint here..until the next one

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

When I drove out to Long Beach from Michigan while moving, we drove all the way across southern Utah and it was amazing. I had no idea it so beautiful out there.

[@EmeralDQueenTV]

Very impress with your painting, beautiful view and it looks like the day was awesome MC is awesome too :)

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

I have such a good time painting with these guys! Thanks so much!

[@mikegurney9278]

Very nice painting, I found it a challenge when I moved from Ontario to Newfoundland. The subject matter, light and weather gave me a headache but after a few studies and lots of drawings I finally figured it out. Your work inspires, thanks so much for posting.

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

That to is quite a shift! In the second video that I’ll post tomorrow, Michael shows his palette. Quite different from mine. Always good to hear from you!

[@CarlOlsonArt]

Every time I hear about or see Joshua Tree NP I can’t help but think of the eerie ending of Robert Heinlen’s short story “And He Built a Crooked House.” Nice painting session!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Thanks Carl! I’m not familiar with that short story but will definitely take a look.

[@antheablackmore5838]

Can’t wait for the second video ! I’m just starting en plein air and finding it very hard and very green here in the UK

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

I just moved to SoCal from Michigan and I know what you mean. Green is extremely challenging. I have a video on my strategy... kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5q3epmZl9Gjbdk

[@johnmcmunn3827]

A great Plein Air de trois .... most enjoyable .. cheers john

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Thanks John! It was so much fun painting with these guys.

[@joycebutler3494]

Delighted to see you tackle this new subject. Nice result, has a primordial look. Loving the new Look. This Michigan painter is envious of that location with Michael and Ariah as painting company!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Saw the weather today, yikes! I’m really trying to push myself! Stay warm!

[@retiredpainter259]

Nice one Dennis , hope your still gonna Coe to the UK to pint in Constable country with me

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

It’s gonna happen for sure Nigel!

[@ronschlorff7089]

@@DennisTysonPleinAir did he say pint instead of paint? Certainly you'll want a pint (or three) at the local pub when there I imagine!! LOL :D

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

I’m sure we’ll want plenty of pints! In fact it may be a requirement to even step foot on the soil where Turner painted

[@retiredpainter259]

Dont mention Turner in Constable Country Dennis otherwise we WILL need beer to escape ,, they hated each other and very rarely spoke

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Retired Painter Of course not! I was speaking more broadly if the east coast there. I figured you’ll would provide me with necessary local knowledge...I like that paint and pint are interchangeable in your language

[@Group_of__]

Great painting Dennis! I had no idea of the colours found in a desert, beautiful! It is so much more interesting while painting with other artists. ..can you feel an 'energy' while painting? I always learn something new while painting with others.Thank you for sharing this amazing video as I really enjoyed it!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

For sure! The dialog about what we were seeing and how to deal with it was like Gold! The energy is definitely there. I believe it comes from an intense focus that we don’t usually exercise in the rest of our life. To paint it you have to really see it, which I suppose is a type of being connected to it. It’s the best!

[@martagonzalesfineart3605]

I am only half done watching this video and I"m loveing it!!!!!!!! I HAVE to get out there soon! I think both of your paintings turned out spectacular! You know, that area also has a yearly art show, these should be in it!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Glad you like the Marta! They were a struggle just based on color mixing alone. The second video will be uploaded in a couple days. The mountains in that one are my favorite.

[@workerbeast]

Beautiful work!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Thanks Gerrit! It was a great spot!

[@antheablackmore5838]

I follow Michael as well...this was a really lovely video to watch, all of you produced amazing paintings Loved how yours morphed into that fabulous glow 🎨❤️

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Hi Anthea! That late evening light was amazing. I’ll post the second video in a couple days and it was an early morning painting

[@daleshawn1910]

Love the orange and blue

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Thanks Dale! Sometimes I worry about cross compliments close together but this just works.

[@ariahmyles]

Hey Dennis! Am so happy we all got to paint together, love the vlog. Let's all meet up and paint again. or at least I'll have to come down to the LBC. Great work!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Yea man for sure! I’m so glad I’ve got some painting buddies in Cali now! You’ll have to help me figure out those color mixes for water in your work...

[@Hillbilly59]

Well that looked like a great time Dennis with some nice work coming out of it and top folk to hang with! 👍👏 Hey if you get the chance go do some painting in Arizona. Go to Williams and stay there, it’s about 50 miles from the Grand Canyon with a population of about 2000. My wife and I stayed there and there are some killer painting opportunities around that area including the GC.

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

I’ve never heard of Williams Shane. I will definitely take a look. This was a rewarding trip on so many levels. First, those are some great guys and I learned a lot just from our conversations. The best part was that it was like we all already knew each other because we work so hard to make sure our channel personality is as authentic as our real personalities. It was an awesome time!

[@Hillbilly59]

Hi Dennis, yeah we came on it only because the train went through there so we got off and stayed a week, I would move there! I am sure you would love painting there, I hope to get back there some time. Mike always comes across as a top fella and his friend Ariah seems the same, glad you all had a great time. I have to admit I drooled a little watching the vids, looked like a great place to paint with good company.

[@ronschlorff7089]

You are right, in your opening, describing the desert landscape; so much there!! Which is weird when you think about a desert, the root word for deserted, aka "nothing there". And if your read Edward Abbey's book "Desert Solitaire", he describes the look and the feel of being there so well (as a park ranger at Arches National Monument, Utah, in the 60's). "There is Something about the Desert"!! So true!! Enjoy!! : )

[@bcarithers22]

Nice Job Dennis!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Thanks so much Barbara!

[@SJ-ih9rw]

Good job!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Thank you! I was surprised at the variety in the desert.
