TRYING A PAD OF OIL PRIMED LINEN FOR PLEIN AIR painting with Jon Bradham

[@vickibrenner2295]

Thank you. Your generosity in sharing your techniques & process is so appreciated. Wonderful!

[@JonBradhamArtist]

Thank you so much Vicki! I’m glad you can see past the amateur video editing 😄

A beautiful plein air painting , thank you for taking us along

This is the first time I have seen your channel. Your color and value sense is amazing. I wondered why you are using the upright piece as your palette instead of the great palette in your box? I have searched for more videos and am looking forward to seeing more.

[@JonBradhamArtist]

Thank you for watching and for the feedback! I use the upright palette to give me more mixing room on my glass palette - and also to put my mixed colors on the same plane as my panel. I have a lot of other videos on my KZbin and on my Patreon channel - I hope you enjoy 😃

Nice painting

[@JonBradhamArtist]

Thank you 🙏

Cheers from a Washingtonian. Really delighted by your wet underpainting. Have never seen it used exactly this way and I'm impressed. I do a watery underpainting with pastel and simply never occurred to me to do the same thing with oil

[@JonBradhamArtist]

Cheers and thanks for watching! Yes I love this washy approach, I picked it up and adapted it from my time with watercolor and from Mark Boedges

[@anniealberts2402]

Beautiful work. Many thanks from Cape Town, South Africa.

[@JonBradhamArtist]

Thanks so much for watching! Would love to visit South Africa some day

[@glendapace8047]

Good morning here. I’m still learning and I enjoy your lessons and work, thank you! Just a quick question, why did you decide to make the boulders in there fore ground larger than the ones in the distance?

[@JonBradhamArtist]

Thanks so much Glenda! If you make similar objects larger in the foreground and smaller in the background it helps create the illusion of distance. This is linear perspective

I tape oil pages to Coroplast boards (like inexpensive signs) Super lightweight.

[@JonBradhamArtist]

Thank you for watching and for the great tip! I currently use old failed paintings on panels that fit the carrier 😄

[@seasidenomads2762]

So how do you get the wet sheet back to the car? I’ve thought about doing this but wondered how to get the wet loose sheet back home if it’s not taped to a board

[@JonBradhamArtist]

Thanks for watching and for the great question. I keep the pad folded open and slide it into my 11”x14” Raymar wet panel carrier. You could also thumb tack or clip that sheet to a thin 11”x14” board and slide it into the carrier and continue painting on the next sheet of the pad - making it light and easy for multiple paintings while traveling

Muy bueno me gustaría que pudiera poner subtitulo en español saludos de Costa Rica

[@JonBradhamArtist]

Thanks so much for watching from Costa Rica! Do the built in KZbin closed captions work for you in espanol?

[@joanholmes3382]

Regardless, its very attractive

[@JonBradhamArtist]

Thank you Joan 🙏
