Plein-Airing on the First Day of Winter
Просмотров 81321 день назад
Happy Solstice! Winter Solstice here in the northern hemisphere, and summer for all you on the other side of the world. Painting outside when it's below freezing adds it's own delightful challenges: stiff paint, the danger of frostbite, ice crystals on the painting... Each year at the beginning of winter, I have to relearn all of this, so I thought you might like to relearn with me. The paintin...
Plein Air of an Old Chevy
Просмотров 841Месяц назад
And now for something completely different! This one was really fun, probably because it feels so novel. I don't have much chance to paint old cars without tons of people around, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity. What was it doing there? To whom does it belong?!? Those are questions that remain unanswered. But thank you whomever it was for leaving it there! #pleinair #painting #oilpainting

Please enjoy the gentle sounds of the hydropower turbine, nearby earthmovers, and artistic frustration! Actually, the little birds were chirping away quite nicely, too. A bizarrely warm autumn day gave me the chance to give this motif a whirl. I am not supe confident with foliage especially fall foliage so it was a bit of an experiment. Always good practice, though. Thanks for watching! #pleina...
Autumn Plein Air!

The temperatures may be cooling down, but I'm still a hot mess. Join me as I struggle through a confusing mess of leaves, reflections, and rocks! I still can't decide whether I love it or hate, but isn't that so often how it goes? And what would a video be without technical difficulties! Much of the first part has vanished into the ether. Don't ask how or why. So I'm missing much of the blockin...
Plein-Airing on Fall Island

Hi folks! Sorry I fell off the face of the earth again. 🙃 What I hoped would be a less busy end to the summer turned out to be the opposite, and I have dropped the video-editing ball. I have a few paintings I've filmed, so to start, here is one from the end of September. If anyone is local, it is currently on view in the Downtown Artists Cellar in Malone, New York, until November! That's pretty...
Plein-Airing in a Dappled Cemetery

Hello! I finally have a bit of time to breathe after a busy summer and am getting around to video editing. This was about a month ago what was supposed to be a one-hour study that of course lasted two. 🙃 One of my goals this summer has been to figure out how to paint on days that are constantly changing from sunny to cloudy without losing myself to rage and frustration. This day happened to sta...
Painting Yet Another Waterfall!
Просмотров 4275 месяцев назад
I was inspired by Jeremy Sams' compositions (check him out!! jeremysams.com) of glowing river bends with distant waterfalls and dappled rocks. Well, the result ain't no Jeremy Sams, but I got some good practice painting ferns and water. AND, I didn't get super frustrated by the sun's to-ing and fro-ing, so I'll take it as a win. #pleinair #oilpainting #art

I haven't made a video in forever! I'm sorry. To be honest, summer is not my season. I don't have summer seasonal depression, but it is definitely not my time to shine. But I have been listening to some motivational audiobooks, so hopefully I will feel invigorated to get out there more. Anyway, this location is amazing! I love it. There are random deposits of red sandstone up here, and the gree...
Plein-Airing at Blue Mountain Lake
Просмотров 3906 месяцев назад
Somebody proposed right behind me! But first - I went painting with a friend, and because I don't want to be an obnoxious social media person, I didn't talk to myself the whole time. So this video features captions. Wow, I'm learning new skills! Back to the proposal - it was a little awkward pretending we didn't hear what was happening behind us. And I'm glad no clothes were discarded - I was w...

Join me as I freak out about all the activity around me! It doesn't look like much now that I watch the video, which can't capture the vibrations of the motorcycles as they roar by or the piercing shrieks of the little kids at the beach. I also unknowingly set up on a walking path (I thought it was some sort of maintenance road), so there were merry revelers passing by. I was glad for my mirror...

Backlight Makes Everything Beautiful!
Really nice job painting this! I'm curious how you fix the umbrella to the easel, is it a DIY-type job or something more legit?
Question: in those conditions, which seem difficult to do any painting, why don’t you take a photo or several photos, and work on it in a studio? Curious
New here binging pleinairnpaintings for my first trip of the year here soon once it becomes warm again. love this so much i love how you endured everything.
Nice job! A little gem. Thank you for persevering for us.
Just found you in my feed and subscribed! You are an inspiration and very talented.
I really admire how you persevered thru the “ugly stage” and continued thru till you produced a really wonderful painting! Thank you for sharing.😊
@@NancyTipton-u8e Thank you, Nancy! I appreciate the kind words. 🙏😀🎨
Thank you for your videos....
@@lastgameplay Thanks for watching! 🙌🎨
I love the way you are intentional with each stroke, and are feeling your way down to the very edges of the bristles. You're not just "shmooshing" paint and "abusing" the brushes like so many do. I also like the way you wryly talk to yourself (with us listening in!)
@@robertstephson7455 Well, that scrubbing brush used to be a flat, so I haven't treated it as nicely as I could have. 😆😆 Thank you. 🙏
Good one Jennifer, makes me lonesome for Lake Tahoe, where I did a lot of snow scenes, plein air, years ago, when I was "tougher", now in AZ with no snow to paint here. I could travel north, of course, up higher than down here near Tucson. Yes, if you don't paint winter scenes in the actual snow you cannot call yourself a landscape painter, unless maybe you live in Bali, that is!! It is as one old artist says, about plein air painting, "the one thing that separates the men from the boys", and women from the girls too, I guess, as you have proved, on numerous occasions. LOL. Two little things to make you laugh: Schmid says, "use alcohol to loosen up the pigments in the cold, but for No Other reason, while painting snow scenes". Get it!! And Gruppe or Hibbard or some other old painter of snow nearly froze to death out there, in VT. I think, and he came flying back to his cabin, threw open the door, screaming out, "Whiskey, whiskey give me whiskey", to his dear wife, who had a nice wood fire going there too. :D Ah, the joys of winter plein air eh!! Cheers from warm and beautiful, too warm and too beautiful, today, southern AZ. :D
@ronschlorff7089 That's right, the women and the girls! And I have a list of other women who can prove it too. 😆💪 I'm curious about the vodka idea. I know it works for other water-based media. I'll email Winsor and Newton and see what they have to say! I'm also a little jealous of your warm, sunny weather... lol!
@@Jennifer_Sampson_Art that idea, for regular oils, came from a friend, but I did not often use it since it never really got that frigid in Tahoe when I painted; and I heard Schmid mention it in a video he did of painting in Vermont, have you seen that one, it's really good. He just said "alcohol", maybe grain? Yes, I tend to like "global warming" in the winter, but the summer here, not so much!! LOL :D
Another gem of a painting. Love your range of neutrals, so sensitive and believable.
key word : "believable", that only comes from her methods; working from life and not a photo!!
@@Susiachi Thanks very much! 🙏🎨🙌
Awesome
@@kymcrowart7876 Thanks, Kym! 🎨🙌🙏
Is it because of the cold that you didn't use thinner for the scrub in? Thank YOU for sharing. You give me courage!
cold can be a problem for a basically vegetable oil product like oil paint, stiffening it; but a small amount of vodka can loosen it up, and don't drink it, it's not "anti-freeze", .....unless you are indoors later that is!! LOL :D
@maggiepleinair It is indeed! I don't remember what regular oils are like, but water-mixables get really soupy of I use anything to thin them when it's below freezing. It doesn't dry at all, and it also doesn't soak into the canvas, so there's a layer of despair that dooms anything else I try to put on top. 😆 I'm also not a fan of other mediums like stand oil. Regular-oil people say Gamsol helps? What do you use?
@@Jennifer_Sampson_Art Thank you - that's helpful. I use oils/liquin/gamsol--but in the cold everything gets so stiff. I think I'll just watch you! 😄
Nice! Ive thrown a few off cliffs😆
@@elisabethseeger5837 It's always a temptation... 😆😆
First time here. I like your subject choice as it helped me see how to find something in a scene where everything can appear to look the same or overwhelmingly complex, and therefore easy to overlook finding something to paint. I enjoyed seeing it develop into a great plein air painting. I especially enjoyed your stream of consciousness and sense of humor.
@daleg9355 It is hard to narrow it down, especially when everything's so beautiful. Fortunately, the weather and daylight gave me a forced time limit -- otherwise, I probably would have waffled around and wound up trying to paint it all! 🤦♀️ Thanks for watching!
Beautiful warms and cools. Out there in the snow, wow.
the thing about being "out there", is you see things you could never ever possibly see in a photograph.
@ I’m out a lot but not in the snow and extreme cold. She’s brave
@ Yes, she is, but I always thought I was just plain stupid to be out there, freezing, until I saw the results in my winter work, and knew it could not have happened any other way for "believable" snow scenes. LOL ;D
@ I should try it, maybe.
@@BarbieBud Careful, you'll never go back to "winter" photos! : )
Beautiful. When you added the quite subtle dancing deer steps suddenly the spatial of the ground appeared and solidified. Great!
@GoGentlier See? Dancing deer make everything better. 😆
Thank you so much! Your videos feel like a great gift. As always, the colors are perfect. I don't know how you manage that. Indeed, sometimes the way the painting emerges appears miraculous. (I hope 2025 will be an amazing year for you, Jennifer.)
@@ChristopherRobinsonFaculty Thanks, Chris! I've been studying a lot of the work by contemporary Russian painters. Their landscapes look very similar to up here, so I've learned a lot from their colors. Happy New Year! Hope it's off to a good start!
I like how you boldly announced when the painting arrived at the "ugly phase", and how you later announced when it was leaving that phase. It looked amazing at the end, and I marvel at how you got it there, mainly because of all the white, you know, like a polar bear eating a vanilla ice cream cone in a snowstorm. I would have found starting a challenge. Great job finding a center of interest and building on it. btw, I'm going to try to get you and @Kate_Bonnie to discover each other, since you both post wild, entertaining plein air adventures. Happy New Year!!
@@DQ_ArtGroupie That used to be one of my favorite drawings when I was little: to basically draw a tiny mushroom slice on a white piece of paper, and voila! A polar bear in a blizzard! 😆😆😆 The rocks were my mushroom this time.
@@DQ_ArtGroupie And happy New Year to you too! 🥳🎨
I love your composition and the variety of colors!! Lovely painting!
@@lisakunish936 Thanks very much, Lisa! 🎨🙌
Another beautiful painting. Glad you didn’t throw it off the cliff. 😊
@@andyhornberger758 It was touch and go for a while... 😆😆
Lovely painting wish we had snow where I live in the UK
OMG-11 degrees! James Gurney says vodka works okay with gouache in sub-freezing temps. I wonder if we WSO people can use it, too. I’m gonna try since my kids gave me some. BTW, I sped up the playback to get you out of the cold sooner, lol. You’re welcome!😊 Painting is beautiful!
Nice work!!
@@John-rb3yv Thanks, John! 🙏❄️
Wow! Great painting you did…in that frosty weather! Thank you for sharing.😊
@@NancyTipton-u8e Thanks very much, Nancy! 🙏🎨❄️
Jaki to papier? Jaka gramatura?
@@JANKOWALSKI-kx8zm It's Strathmore 900 Series Oil Paper, 215 lb. 👍
Those subtle temperature shifts in the colour are just beautiful!
@@maggiepleinair That's what I love about winter! It's so colorful, but in a subdued way... ❄️🎨☃️
Your dedication to your art is so inspiring! The painting is beautiful. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season with your family! I look forward to your work in 2025!
@ChristopherRobinsonFaculty Happy Holidays, Chris! Hope you enjoy some well-deserved time off! ❄️☃️🎉🎄
The painting was very beautiful, but again I have to say that these scenes with snow are my favorites!
@jessicapainting I hope you can paint snow in person someday! ❄️☃️ (It's a really different experience tho...😆😆)
@@Jennifer_Sampson_Art i hope too :)
This is fantastic ❤ I love that you did this outside right now ❤❤
@Crystal_Seeker71 Thanks very much! It keeps me from getting cabin fever... 😆☃️
Truly remarkable...both the painting and your stamina!! You have really captured the essence of that wonderful location and managed to add warmth from the tree stump into a very cool view....terrific...well done. Thank you. Hope you thawed out OK 😀
@@grahamhickmott1957 Thanks for the kind words! I had a heated vest and socks, so I wasn't a complete block of ice. 😆🥶
J'adore vos subtiles nuances de brun et de gris bleuté. Vous voir peindre est réjouissant. Mais j'ai eu froid avec vous !
@gerardcommarieu4257 I love the subtle grays and browns of winter. 🥰 And I warmed back up. Hope you did too! ☃️
@@Jennifer_Sampson_ArtYes😊, warmed with the brown of a hot chocolate ! Thank you again for this cold moment of painting. ❤
Nice work! 🌸
Thank you! 🎨☃️
What is the paper brand? good work btw
@@cincy.a.l.w3219 Strathmore! 215 lb oil paper. 👍👍
Beautiful, Jennifer!!!
@KayInMaine Thanks Kay! I bet you have a lot of snow up there! We only have a few inches...
Such a beautiful painting. Would be fun to see it framed. Thanks for the video!
@@andyhornberger758 Thanks, Andy! ☃️🎨🙏
So much respect for you! Brrrrr and an awesome painting!🏆
@dankennedy553 Thank you sir! But I'm really not that tough. I have a heated vest and socks. I only look tough. 😆😆
really nice painting!
@@randominternetuser2 Thanks very much! ☃️🎨
You rock girl! Fabulous
@@BarbieBud Thanks, Barbara! 🤘🎸😆
Really beautiful job! I've just never enjoyed plein-airing in the winter. Where are you?
@@JimLongCO It definitely is a different experience! 😆 I'm in Upstate New York.
How beautiful, and cold lol
My car stayed nice and warm somehow. 😆🙌
@And still with an incredible view of the sky 😄
I enjoy watching your videos and how each brushstroke means so much to you. I talk to myself more now while I’m painting because of you. Thank you.
@@daveydpainter Weido artists who talk to themselves unite! 🙌😆😆
@@Jennifer_Sampson_Art We may not have intelligent conversations but, as long as it helps our paintings they can call us WEIDOS....
it's so nice to watch your videos, I always find motivation to go out and paint, that's what I did this morning, I hope you keep doing it! Hugs Jenn
@jessicapainting Yay! I'm so glad you got out. 🎨🎉 I've had a stupid cold, so I haven't been out painting for a while, but I hope I can this weekend. It's going to be cold!! 🥶🧊☃️
@@Jennifer_Sampson_Art I hope you're better, and if you go out and paint don't forget to show :)
I never thought so many greys could make me feel so happy Haha. Beautiful!
This place looks so beautiful, and painting there must have been nice 🥰
@@jessicapainting The ferns! I love them! 😍🥰🌱🌿
I think one of my favorite paintings that you’ve already done
@@jessicapainting Thanks, Jess! It's a really cool place. 😃
Very inspiring, now I need to go out and paint too haha
I love your painting- beautiful day! I love how you set you easel up and painted it. Such a cool truck!
Thanks, Rob! It was indeed a fun one. 😊🙌
Wonderful job. I enjoy your brushplay!
Lol! Thanks very much. 😊🙌🎨
Lovely! Just lovely!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much, Paul! 🙏🙌
Another stunner!
Thanks, Kay! 😊🙏🎨
