Real Time - 'SPEED PAINTING' - Before 'LOCKDOWN' Drags Me Home Kicking! Spontaneous Oil Painting!!!

[@jacquelineb2149]

Hi Richard, I'm not an expert in painting however, I've the impression that your style is unique and recognizable. The energy you put in your work, sometimes bordering on trance, is found in each trace of your knife on the canvas (and also on your palette !). For me, it's your signature. Thank you for sharing these moments with us.

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Many Thanks Jacqueline! I love the fact that you say my work is unique!!! Thanks for watching and I always love to read you comments! :-)

Your pallet tells the story onto the canvas.... fantastic ❤

[@billmcgavin142]

We are so privileged watching you at work, its brilliant. What I like is the chats you did at the end whilst making your cuppa and explaining your thoughts. That was brilliant to listen to and so enlightening. This was a great trip and you punched a lot of work into it, but still time to enjoy the peace and serinity of the outback...priceless. Bill

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Thanks Bill! I had a fantastic painting session out there and a perfect time to unwind!!!

[@cynthiahale9888]

I don’t need a second cup of coffee after watching this. Your energy got me going! I am addicted to watching you paint. Mix, mix, mix!

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Yay! Thank you Cynthia!

Watching your videos has helped me with my plein air watercolours - remembering to capture the mood and energy

Fantastic Dawn! Happy watercolour painting!!!

[@altastretton1768]

Absolutely love the size of the works. Your skill is an envy of mine.

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Hey Many thanks 👍🎨💯

[@stukennedy195]

Never used palette knives before, but looking at how beautiful those marks are with the marbled mix … just gorgeous, going to have to try it.

[@m66ab]

I really love the proportions of this panel. It works so well with the scene you chose. That motion shot at the 27:15 mark shows the effect of the proportion on a viewer as they walk into a room with that painting on a wall. The painting is absolutely gorgeous.

[@CosMosArtistry2016]

G'day mate, what a tremendous workout, I'm tired watching you. Speed painting should be a required sport for the next Olympics. Magnificent result and a masterclass on spontaneity and being in the moment. Loved it, loved it, loved it. I learn something new each video as well as reinforcing what I now know. Boldness, connection, emotion drive your efforts and are very inspiring. Cheers my friend, Rich

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Cheers Rich! Always love to here from you mate, with you encouraging feedback!!!!!! :-)

[@lewisartuk]

Oh my word. I tried using just palette knives on a 8 inch by 10 inch. I loved it. Then I came home and saw this. So fantastic. Truly awesome. Thank you so much.

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Hey, glad it is inspiring and helpful to you LEWISARTUK!

[@jkay606]

I love that the palette is beautiful too! 😍 Always gorgeous Richard

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Thanks J Kay! The palette can be a work of it's own, lol :-)

[@carolinebussellwalking]

Wonderful colors and magnificent landscape painting, love the energy of the fast plein air!

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Thank you so much Caroline, I love painting this spontaneously 😀

[@coramuller6065]

Hey, Richard, good to see you so alive and well. You are obviously blessed with endless energy, and so early in the morning. You're right, painting outside on location, especially in this stunning landscape, is the ultimate experience. Although there seems to be nothing but flat land and distant mountains in your surroundings, you always manage to give your paintings that depth through your choice of colours. I like the orange of the canvas against which the other colours glow, or vice versa. The quickly painted picture undoubtedly shows your signature, as always. It is beautiful, as is the background music. Blessings

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

G'day Cora, I really appreciate your fantastic and positive feedback!!! Cheers :-)

[@helenrivers7345]

Yes…you’re right with that energy…even in the sky. I imagine that painting will be one that you will be loathe to let go of…it’s full of reflected spontaneity- almost opposites colliding together. Thanks again. Glad you got to go out.

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Absolutely! Thanks Helen!!!

[@curtstanfield3206]

Perfect. Absolutely love it. Thank you for reminding me why i plein air paint. This is so fresh. I've been stuck in the studio i needed to see this. Fantastic.

I love this, you remind me of a van Gogh style, I imagine this is how he painted, the way you move about the canvas and mix with the quickness, quite amazing what people can do in just a short space of time!

Second best, studio piece, again, The Pair of beat-up old boots! Stay safe Friend , and Thank You! Peace, from the UK.

I think you need to up-size to a bricklayer's or plasterer's trowel for these big skies! Hope you don’t damage your wrist. These last few on the orange primer bring Cezanne's Sainte Montaigne Victoire to mind.

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

A bricklayer's trowel, lol, maybe!!! Cheers :-)

One of the things that struck me was your comment about the rugged wildness. This comes through in the result and may be one of the most attractive features of this work. I loved the creamsicle underpainting, but I'm curious why you go to the trouble of doing this under the top 2/3 of the painting since this part is completely covered by later layering? As for being in the moment - Richard you own the moment!

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Hey thanks, nothing better than being 'in the moment'! I just coloured the canvas for a bit of variety and it I also seen on the edges of the finished painting! Cheers :-)

Are you familiar with Louisa MacElwain? She was an artist from Santa Fe. Painted very similar- palet knife, lots of paint. Mainly landscapes. She passed away about 6 or 7 years ago. Her paintings are very sought after. I am a big fan of her, and YOU.

Beautiful music in complete harmony with nature and the work! Richard - You are the Wizard of the Emerald City on the Red Continent ..)) Where paints are extracted from the rocks of the best minerals, which are used to write marshmallow clouds and mountains of precious stones.... These are the best places of our beautiful planet Earth 🌎 Прекрасная музыка в полной гармонии с природой и произведением! Ричард - Вы есть Волшебник Изумрудного города на Красном континенте..)) Где добываются краски из пород самых лучших минералов, которыми пишутся зефирные облака и горы из драгоценных камней.... Это лучшие места нашей красавицы планеты Земля 🌎
