Cypress Mountain Snow – Plein Air – Explained
On Cypress Mountain on a spring day I paint the snow and surrounding landscape of trees and ponds. This video explains my plein air process.
This video exemplifies how to paint spontaneously and purposefully in an exercise in outdoor painting as outlined by the late Robert Genn. Stones were used in counting brush strokes and the artist’s thought process and specific painting techniques and colours are explained.
This short video features a fast motion of a Plein Air oil painting done with limited brush strokes with accompanying guitar music. Painting techniques can be viewed in fast motion while an interesting painting of the forest comes to life in just 37 strokes.
Here is a Plein Air painting done in the limited time of 37 minutes as an exercise outlined by the Late Robert Genn. It is filmed on location at Cypress Mountain Hollyburn Trail with a short explanation of the process and several painting tips. Laika, my long-coat German Shepherd makes her debut as well.
