Plein Air Painting Adventure | Full Video!

Join me on this plein air painting adventure as I explore the Hudson River Valley of upstate New York! I hike to many historic sites painted by the artists of the Hudson River School, the first original art movement in the United States. This video is a combination of all the shorter videos I shot on my trip. I hope you enjoy it and leave any comments/questions below!

What an absolutely beautiful adventure and artwork...the more plein air painting adventures I see on here, the more I want to try, especially to combine my love of backpacking and art

[@fountatelier]

Thanks! You should definitely give it a shot. Start simple with just a sketchbook and pencils, then go from there. Nothing like getting creative while surrounded by nature

Fantastic video and trip. Your videos are getting better and better and I look forward to seeing where you'll be going next.
Keep it up!

[@fountatelier]

Thanks man! We need to catch up, been awhile. Hope you are doing well and able to fit some painting in here and there.

Great trip👏 Lovely paintings. Informative video. Well done. Thankyou😊. Is your medium the fast drying one?

[@fountatelier]

Thank you! Yes it was a fun trip, what a beautiful area. I have tried the Artisan fast drying medium and personally I don't care for it, too thick and syrupy. I thin it down with a few drops of the Artisan thinner medium. Unless I need a painting to dry overnight, I now use just the thinner or their "painting medium". Do you use water-mixable oils?

[@lolitawildin6936]

@@fountatelier Thankyou. I have used it. Finding the courage to plein air paint with it😀. I usually do watercolours plein air.
