St Ives Seascape Demonstration | Boats & Beach | Plein Air

Demonstration with commentary covering equipment, colours & tonal values with the focal point of the foreground boat. The tide was out with lots of sand and the lighthouse.
Please excuse the first 20 seconds as I cut my head off when filming - oops! :-) I'm still learning this filming but I hope you enjoy the video with all my plein air tips on oil painting.

Painting is very much like musicianship. It has a specialist vocabulary and deals fundamentally with reproducing mood and atmosphere. It's great to get an insight into this most skilful ability.

[@ClareBowenArtist]

Thank you Robert! What you say is true!👩🏻‍🎨❤️

[@schmeebot7903]

Terrific to see your palette and brushes and hear you call out the paint colors as you mix. I could watch you paint all day. Thank you!

[@borealiswan2363]

I can't believe how kind and polite passersbys are as they ask permission to snap a pic. None of that here in Canada where ppl stand in the view and take pics with complete disregard. I've even seen someone asking to take the painter's brush and pretend to be painting as the hubby snapped her pic. LOL

[@ClareBowenArtist]

I agree people are generally really kind and considerate. You always get the occasional unaware people but someone else using the painters brush must have been stressful for the artist!!

[@barnbre2]

I especially like it that you paint in real time. It makes it more real to us as you work on shapes, values, etc. Thank you for also making it so enjoyable!

Hi Clare, Love your painting!. Ive been sketching for yrs and painted a little in watercolour.... and I too love drawing boats. Im moving now into oil painting to give it a go! I have paints and paper and a few old tattered brushes. I'd like to buy a few decent brushes. I was wondering if you could recommend a few sizes for me. I need a small one for doing the initial drawing in of objects. And I'd like a few more ... say a small , a medium and a large,, as id like to try different size brush strokes. Thanks a million. I'd really appreciate it.

[@ClareBowenArtist]

Hi Kate! I use Rosemary and Co brushes. It really is a personal choice as to sizes, go with your gut feeling! Best wishes for your oil painting journey! 👩🏻‍🎨🎨❤️

[@Belfreyite]

I'm intrigued by the way Clare holds her brush, even when detailing small areas. The shaft of the brush at the business end, between the right thumb and forefinger, is oblique to the canvas, but not exclusively.

[@ClareBowenArtist]

Hi Robert, holding the brush ‘overhand’ helps me make expressive marks and it just feels better! Thanks for your observations 😊

[@KristineLYoung]

It was simply delightful watching your painting from last weekend! Thanks so much for putting up with the wind and lack of stamina..... Loved the boats, sand and that lovely colored sky. Was it a sort of roman glass blue?

[@ClareBowenArtist]

You are so welcome! Thank you very much for watching Kristine! Yes you could be right re the sky colour :-)

Lovely painting Clare. Are you using pure paint, or any solvent/medium added?

[@ClareBowenArtist]

Thank you Robyn, I use just Turpentine to thin the paint, usually in the beginning stages. Best, Clare

Lovely painting Claire! I like the approach. What type of oils do you use? Thanks!

Thank you Ray. I use a mixture of oil brands. Michael Harding, Jacksons Art & Winsor & newtons are the 3 faves at the moment. 🎨
