Watch how I PAINT these from Life! Video 1

[@alexvontevenar]

Hey Ryan, stoked you’re going to make some videos! I’d love to see a raw session of you painting one from start to finish, just locked in your zone , as if the camera wasn’t even there. I love your boat paintings, and your beach paintings with people in them, I’d really enjoy watching one of those sometime in the future! Thanks for sharing your art and inspiring! 🎨🙏

[@ryanjensenart]

Sounds good!

[@BMSculptures]

Yessssss!!!! We need more of these

[@ryanjensenart]

For sure! what do you thinking I should paint on the 4th canvas?

[@joellarose3806]

Great video. Your results speak for themselves. Im working up to the big canvases, but the smaller ones are not too shabby.

[@ryanjensenart]

@@joellarose3806 excellent brother! Great to see on you here. What size you going for? Whatr you workin on?

[@joellarose3806]

I just watched this on a larger screen and man was it much more inspirational and awesome! So far, my largest are 16x20, but I have an assortment of canvases laying around the house from when I had more money and things were on sale. They range in size on up to 4'x5'. I like using what I have, small, medium, large, but the larger the canvas the more challenging and fun pleinaire gets.​ @@ryanjensenart

[@karenhall6401]

Hello! I'm new to painting and fortunately stumbled and bumbled my way to your video, while searching for an artist who inspires me and paints the way I hope to be able to emulate one day. As a songwriter, words and melodies float around in the air, but I feel the need for something tangible that I can hold onto. That probably sounds weird, but regardless, thanks for sharing your process and stunning work. I just subscribed and will be following along while you paint. Happy travels!

[@ryanjensenart]

@@karenhall6401 Hey Karen! I’m happy you found me! Let me know what you’re like to see more of!

[@karenhall6401]

Here's a challenge for you! Currently I'm in Nevada - hot, desert, rocks, lots of light and lots of pigeons! My idea comes from the parrots of San Francisco. How about painting the pigeons of Las Vegas?

[@cherinemarie1640]

Ryan, your cows crossing water (from demo, PACE, Denver) inspires me every time I slow down to really feel it. Your words inspire deep. Thank you for all you've done, are doing and will do. I'm honored to have one of your pieces, the fact your little daughter put the first 3 spots of color on it make it even more sweet to my heart. You really should think about some TX panhandle painting in your future, little rain, great sun shadows...some wonderful folks, just saying...

[@ryanjensenart]

Im saddling up! No really though. Once things slow down a bit id love to come out there and do a series

[@MichaelWurmJr]

Great video Ryan. I'm so interested by the way you work. I hope to see one of your paintings in life one day in hopes of better understand how you work your magic. At 1:56 I already saw the painting come to life. It's incredible. Your work and dedication to your art shows!

Fun to watch. I love painting outside. I struggle with the under painting. Once its done i don't know how topaint over it with color. How do you keep the colors from mixing with the burnt sienna? Do you have to wait for the first layer to dry?

[@stevepalmerphotoart]

Dude! So glad I found your channel! Amazing work and kick-ass style! I'm fascinated by your process particularly at the beginning when you wash the canvas with what will be...to the viewer it's challenging to see the patterns and shapes I know you must see. I am just beginning to paint after many, many years as a photographer and almost 10 years transforming photos into digital paintings. Looking forward to seeing whats next on your channel with even more commentary about what you are thinking as you lay down marks on the canvas. Inspiring my mind for sure!

[@ryanjensenart]

@@stevepalmerphotoart most excellent to get your comment. Sounds like u got that 🔥 Steve. Me too! What’s something you would like to see more of in videos to come?

@@ryanjensenart right on! teach us as much of your process as you’re comfortable sharing. If I were standing at an easel next to you what would you tell me about “seeing” a scene and putting it on canvas? Keep creating man!

How do you keep those large canvases from becoming sails that take your easel into the water?

@@labcat647 ok it’s happened many times. This side of the marina has a bit of a break from the wind. Why I like it here

[@shadesofgray5476]

I really struggle with oils when doing Plein air. Thought I'd switch to acrylics, maybe do a final layer of oils in the studio. You make it look easy. All the practice you get shows, like your work ethic and enthusiasm. Plus, your work is beautiful, energetic, just right, not overdone.

[@na_haynes]

@@ryanjensenart it's a popular thing to do, I guess. It contrasts with sky colors well and it's exciting to see rich little bits of red pop out everywhere.

[@ryanjensenart]

@@na_haynes yeah it’s a great way to start. Really wet paint too. And just start nailing the darks and using a paper towel to wipe off areas of light. Then just start back and it should start reading well, giving little hints as to what it need next.
