THREE NIGHT SOLO: Oil Painting / Camping / Cooking trip in Australian Outback. Plein Air / Canoeing!

Join me on a Journey into the Australian Outback, camping cooking and capturing the beauty around me in oil paint! I've designed a special painting box for the canoe that enables me to carry fresh wet oil paintings. Now I can get into to some fantastic painting locations and easily bring the wet painting safely back to camp! Spend some time with me on the river and enjoy the serenity.

It's meditative to watch you enjoy your time creating art amongst nature. The fact that you have almost a permanent smile on your face speaks volumes. Your economy of words makes it all the more special.

For anybody interested, a painting box for painting en plein air is called a POCHADE BOX. It typically holds an easel, paint tubes and supplies, palette and even an number of slots to store wet paintings (on canvas boards) until you return home.

I really love the detailed layering and tooling. Although, like you, I really like the large works, these smaller paintings can pack a lot of color, tone and detail into a small space.

Living the dream my friend. Enjoyed this latest journey immensely. As a photographer I love that late afternoon and early morning light. Soft, muted colour and tone merging into brash, hotter tones of the colour wheel before once again withdrawing in to the oncoming night or day. Also, the contrast of shadow and light. It's magic mate, as you know. Followed by a bite to eat and a hot cup of tea. You inspire me Richard, more than any other I have observed on KZbin. Thanks once again. Cheers, Rich.

Great technique Richard and great picture! When you work wit white linen, is it necessary to cover all white parts of linen or you leave some of that parts. I saw that on this kind of linen you do not cover every part of it. May be that the solution for mi is to use some underlayer color... Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks Marco! I like to let the natural colour of the linen show through in places. Wth the white primer, I might leave a little, but not much exposed!

I think outdoor sketching is a very complicated thing. You spare no effort to do things well. For example, you always draw such large-scale paintings. Not only does it take more time to paint, it also requires more preparation. Fortunately , You are using the car as an easel. Strong and good idea.
