PAINTING REFLECTIONS - Oasis in the Outback // Oil Painting - Arkaroola Creek!

Today - with oil paint and a palette knife - I will demonstrate my techniques for capturing an outback waterhole. The aim will be to portray the rugged rocky scenery, contrasting dramatically against the beautiful tranquility of calm reflective water!

A truly amazing and talented Artist. His paintings are full of life and movement. Exceptional modern day master of his art.A pleasure watching you paint Richard.😊

[@ScottSwess]

Thouroughly enjoy your incredible talent and technique, Richard. Thank you for your gift of sharing.

[@lynnmanning2795]

Love your eye with color! You are such a inspiration! Love Australia thru your paintings!

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

So glad! Thanks 🤩

[@davemalt2451]

Don’t disown me Richard, but I paint with acrylics. That said, I can’t believe how much I’ve learned about knife painting, reflections and so much more from watching you work. I also love your Aussieness, I’m a proud Aussie myself. I kind of envy your lifestyle, would love to jump in a fourbie and go bush for a while but I do that when I paint anyway (in my mind). Enough babbling, thanks for another fantastic painting / tutorial. See you next time.😎🇦🇺🦘

[@specs1616]

it's always a pleasure to watch you paint and to listen to you explain everything you do, again, thank you for putting it all out on yt..incredible interpretation of color Ive seen and you're good for the soul. always watching you.

[@infinit1293]

Wow! I’m godsmacked with the way Richard uses color to create these magical paintings … incredible. Thank you Richard!

[@richardmusgrave-evans9886]

You are very welcome! Thanks!!!

[@shivasirons6159]

Me too, but its actually gobsmacked.

[@conniefarrell8466]

Hi Richard. The light blue sky and its reflections pulls me right in while the surroundings keps me wanting to stay and explore! Your love for your art and country seeps through everything you create and are why your videos are so inspirational, thanks for sharing!

[@erzsebetkovacs9205]

I like it. And the music ! Love, love....!

[@user-nt8yv6wj8w]

Hi Robert! Sorry, it's been a while. As always, I'm thrilled!

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

Marvelous painting! 👌❤

[@Prairiehawkmn]

I've learned so much about color mixing, thank you 😊

[@harryjamessmithmusic7762]

That water is incredible! This is a great masterpiece!

[@patricialopes9579]

Richard even your palette is a masterpiece, really. Once again thank you so much. You manage to give another dimension of an already exquisite landscape.

[@douglasacosta4989]

Sagenhafte Farbgefühl hat der Maler....... Great😊😊☘️

[@CosMosArtistry2016]

G'day mate, another beautiful creation to start the day. Love how the tonal values in the foreground add interest but don't take the focus, rather embrace the blues of the water , directing the eye through the reflections and onto the stunning cliffs. The value of the colour wheel coming to the fore. What a stunning scene brought to light by the master illusionist himself. One of my favourite paintings among many. Thanks once again for the learning and the pure enjoyment watching you living your dream. Cheers, Rich

[@jaburchfield7194]

I love your style! Beautiful, ethereal and almost abstract!! Magical color combinations too.

[@coramuller6065]

👋Good afternoon Richard, I am totally impressed with this gorgeous painting of yours. It is so lovely! Wonderfully harmonizing colors, bright pretty blues - I love these blues - marvelous reds, yellows, greens and purples, and the darker reflections on the waterhole appear as brilliant and clear as in a mirror. The rocky landscape is excellently sketched by the different hues you used, and you can also make out the green areas of the landscape very well. So for me, hardly a hint of abstractness, but a great whole that seems rather impressionistic due to your incredible skill and apt choice of colors, but almost appears realistic again when you look at it closely from a bit of distance. One just has to give the mind a little time to get adjusted to the slightly altered shapes and colors. - Thank you very much, Richard, for taking us again to this beautiful landscape. Time for a bit of daydreaming... 👍❤

[@Brownlowjuddy]

You always inspire me to paint, thanks so much mate. Love the painting

[@m66ab]

I love the gum tree and Murray river paintings but this one is definitely in my top 5 of your work. It makes me feel like I am right there in that canyon. Fantastic color and depth.

Hello Richard, today you are giving us a new jewel. It's amazing how you manage to superimpose these different colors in the cliff as much in the shadows as in the light! And what about the color of the water? it's really beautiful ! Congratulations to you. Thank you for this gift. I wish you a good week.

[@blangkcanvas]

Excellent work!! Very useful knowledge shared. Thank you

[@eddieg66]

I wish I new about mixing colours like you do amazing painting keep.up the good work .regards from.scotland

[@terrychancellor4593]

Just stunning!! You are truly a master of color!! You lay the perfect colors next to one another creating the illusion of great detail only to look closer and find out our minds put the detail there. Amazing! I plan to show this to some of my adult painting students so they can grasp what I'm telling them about backing away from their work from time to time, examining the color values, and the placement of marks verses details. Thank you, such a treat to watch you paint.

[@gailresources8120]

I like the videos. Appears to be California or Arizona? But the noise of the knife isn’t tranquil. Have you ever tried using only brushes? I think same affect could be achieved.

Hi Richard! Reporting in from God’s country in “Big D” (Dallas) Texas! Just to give you my Texas bonifides, my wife and I got married at Southfork Ranch where the TV series “Dallas” was filmed. My wife was given away by JR! Well, my father-in-laws name was John Robert. 😀 I love your work!! And your videos of the Outback as well as the Australian seascapes. Just beautiful!! A quick question. What is the music you play at the end of many of your videos, including this one? Is it an Irish jig? Thanks!!

[@marellewhiteartist2597]

Hi Richard, great video once again. I see you are using oil paints. Could I use acrylics instead? Cheers, Marelle
