Plein Air Painting: Six Small Studies

Amazing how from just grey's views you created vivid paintings! So glad I found your videos. Thank you.

[@michaelpittman7683]

Hello beloved friend, I am from Kerala, a state in India. I love your pictures more.I studied painting and now work in the IT sector. I really like your live painting. A painter like this is my dream. I really like your videos. I share all this to my WhatsApp Facebook community Thank you so much thanking you Thankaps From Kerala ❤

Fantastic studying idea will likely do something similar myself :) always is a joy to watch you squeeeeeze out that paint and maneuver it around Turner thanks for sharing another great video!

[@turnervinson]

Many thanks, Joseph

Love this painting...wonder

[@sarahpiaggio2693]

I like that you just have the natural sounds, no tinny music or even talking. That's refreshing. The landscape reminds me of where I used to live, in Chubut, Argentina. It's gently beautiful.

[@turnervinson]

Thank you 🙏🏻. You can certainly find some nice tinny music on some of my other videos 😂😂

[@sjmsutherland]

[@garybarker6994]

What a gift just to watch you do these! Amazing what you get out of so few strokes. I am experimenting with doing more than one small painting at once just so I don't obsess -- or as another one of favorite painters on KZbin (Lewis Noble) likes to say in his Northern English accent: "get precious."

[@genevievedolan1288]

Thank you for introducing me to Lewis Noble. I have just visited his site, he does really different work, but with a similar looseness and confidence

[@turnervinson]

thank you Gary. Learning to not obsess over things can be a big hurdle. and I like what he says "get precious" !

I carry some foot long sticks of bamboo in my paint box, I'll stick one on the end of a brush to get further away from the canvas. I see these little gems are painted at arms length ...keeps it fresh.. Good idea mountings a group of small supports..I'm sure we I'll use that idea..thanks

[@turnervinson]

cool idea

[@catbraunwell6450]

I love your videos in their style of painting. I must say though I miss when you used to talk to us and explain what you were doing in your process. The last few videos I’ve seen I noticed you don’t talk. Are you going to again in the future? I really like listening to you ramble on.

[@turnervinson]

yes, yes I understand! I did actually just shoot a demo style video, talking my way through the painting process. When I decided to try and make a video every week, I knew that I needed to be able to do it in the simplest way possible (for my sanity!!). So it nice for me to be able to just focus on the painting, and not always trying to explain what I'm doing. But, of course, I also want to do that as well. So there will certainly some variety. thanks for watching, Cat 🙏🙏

[@farmerfox3332]

Wow 6 studies...that is serious business. Well done. I have to get out and just do 1 lol

[@jerryseaton5239]

I really like your direct approach .I can almost smell those gobs of paint . Do you ever have problems with your Yarka easel collapsing . Good video as well .

[@turnervinson]

Thanks. My medium sized yarka is pretty old and one of the screws doesn’t grab the metal leg well, so I’ve had it slip, but that’s all. And I think a new screw would fix that issue

[@jerryseaton5239]

[@turnervinson]

thank you, Thomas. I don't typically varnish, but if I see an area that really dries flat, I'll use a bit of spray varnish on it. The standard varnishes require such completely dry paintings, I'm afraid mine will never dry enough, lol

@@turnervinsonAnd it's going to stay that way until you stop using the brush like a pencil. It's a painting, not a sketch. But fair play to you. You didn't get emotional about my rather harsh critique. And for anyone else reading this,,, you should take as much time mixing the right colour as you spend with the brush on the canvas. AND STOP DABBING!,,,,,,

[@turnervinson]

but I like to dab, lol. Hey, it’s perfect okay for you to not like what I do ✌🏻.

[@louisabridge]

What's at the heart of this is easy to see. You have to start blocking in. Not because of the finished painting but the execution of it. You have to slow down. You have to expend all that initial energy , all of the swordplay, all of the big strokes!. Then after the blocking in, put the claymore down and start with the Foyle,, Focus on the task. What and how are you going to make the kill shot. Remember you won't get another chance. You only have two strokes,, how will you make it count? Look,, sure you can paint fast. That's the whole idea. It make sense. But like a good carpenter you know how to drive the nail home. You use good practice and you take care of your tools. Your paintings are alright, and I would gladly hang one in my livingroom. But then that would leave me only imagining how much sweeter they might be if you improved your delivery. Here might I say that any post modernist can go F themselves. If you don't give any credit to painting as a skill, then you have no right to expect your opinion to be given any credence. And anyone who thinks that i'm out of order and should never say boo-hoo things,,, Turner here has published. Therefore by definition he must be open to all opinion. My gut feeling is that this man is a man. And being such a man would feel insulted by being treated as a child. Painting attracts hippies like moths to a light. They are painful. All of that "positive energy" makes me want to run my face into a brick wall.

[@louisabridge]

@@turnervinson Hey, your right and wrong. You threw your big brush style at the little fellas. That's never going to end well. As I sad below, some of your other work is fine. I'd hang it. You got a lot of the right stuff. But you can't have a mushed brush, with a balled lump of brown muck, and tell me that's good practice. That it's intentional and that the painting will be better because of it. It's not, It's won't and frankly,, it's lazy. And again,, before all you woke happy police out there, this is from one painter to another, like one carpenter to another or one diamond cutter to another,, and most importantly, one man to another,, we're all big boys here. At the end of the day it's about the painting, not the painter.
