I love your comments. I've bought all my supplies, but hesitate to go out alone. Can't find any other artists that want to do Plein Air. Maybe I will try the back yard first. lol Sue
I’m a beginner and went out with a group. Very intimidating. Tried it by myself and people kept coming over to see. It was embarrassing. You’ve given me the inspiration to give it another try. Thanks Sam.
Hey Kelly, I totally understand, I definitely found plein air painting intimidating the first few times I did it. I did find painting in a group helpful though. I would definitely give plein air painting a try again 😊
The group I signed up with was the Cowboy Artist of America. Some of the best artist in America. Oh I wasn’t intimidated at all. I couldn’t find a hole to crawl into soon enough. Note to self, read the fine print before you sign up. I did learn a great deal and they were wonderful to help me. It was worth every minute just to watch them paint. Incredible!
@@kellygoddard3025 awesome. I want to get out there and practice, but I don't want any attention. Think I'll just practice in my yard. :) And, Cowboy Artists sounds awesome. I'm a Texan so sounds a little familiar.
One thing that intimidates me about plein air is how to organize my equipment. I use paper towels when I paint, and I'm not sure how to organize stuff so I have a good place for used paper towels, etc. I live in a windy area, don't want my trash blowing away, lol. Thanks for your amazing videos, I love them!
Hi Sam. Can you do a video of you setting up your rig before painting? And can you do a clean up video as well? I’m also interested in everything you carry. Backpack, tripod, box you use. Things like that ! 🙏
Sam, what brush set up do you use ? Short or long handle? I hold my brush at the very end. I’m not sure I can use short handles. What do you carry your brushes in ? Please and thank you
I tried plein air for the first time the other day, it didn't come out quite like yours but now I've seen this video I'm going to try again, think I was trying to put too much detail in it, would post it on here but not sure how to do it lol
So many boring instructional videos. Yours is succinct without fluff. Great tips and I like how you give effective tips about value and color choice. Just beginning my plein air journey and I found this video to be very helpful.
Thank you Deb. Yeah, I've only recently started painting in my vehicle and it's a great way of painting landscapes without having to worry about braving the elements. Gouache painting would work well with these oil painting journals as featured in my video 😊
Lovely to hear your kiwi accent!! Loved your video plein air. Lots of good suggestions. I am a pastel artist (dead beginner!) who is US/NZ citizen and was frightened by doing plain air. Your video helps! Thanks. Pat
Thank you so much. I actually have a British accent as I grew up in England. I came to New Zealand 14 years on a working holiday visa and ended up staying. So awesome you are going to do some plein air painting. Check out this blog post I wrote on the beginners guide to plein air painting: samuelearp.com/blog/beginners-guide-to-plein-air-painting/
Hi Sam, so informative as usual, I'll be having a go this weekend, send me some decent weather please, Wolverhampton isn't known for it's sun. Thanks as always.
I am a budding plein artist and hope to accomplish the many characteristics of the discipline that you've described. My subject will be a Smoky Mountain range of North Carolina, USA in early fall. Your video is an inspiring guide and I will put it to work tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.
Hey Patricia, that is so awesome that you are going to go plein air painting. The location you've described sounds amazing. Check out this blog post I wrote on the ‘Beginners Guide to Plein Air Painting’. samuelearp.com/blog/beginners-guide-to-plein-air-painting/ I hope this helps 😊
i havent painted in years!! im going to visit the art supply store this weekend and pick up a small water color set. i hope to do plein air one day, even if im not very good.
That is so awesome. Have you ever tried painting with gouache, it is like opaque watercolour. I have made a few videos on this RUclips channel on painting with gouache 😊
@@lynettesunley-hulton7898 Hey Lynette, I sell most of my art works online from my fine art website at: www.samuelearpfineart.com/ I also sell through one gallery in New Zealand called the Kiwi Art House and they are based in Wellington. The website is: www.kiwiarthouse.co.nz/samuel-earp.html
I love your work and bought a pochade and tripod to get started. But, stage fright and having it not turn out as I envision gives me reason to delay. Today I scouted a couple remote location and will endeavor to start over this holiday weekend here in the US. Thanks for your recommendations.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 that’s just too funny ,, don’t worry I’m probably one of the most mediocre painters out there producing the same old bland stuff you can see on any FB paint site . It’s not really about producing a masterpiece it’s more about the sheer enjoyment of painting from life what’s in front of you ,, if it does turn up half decent then it’s a bonus if not it’s 3 hours out in the fresh air . My tip would be to do the opposite , but with the tip Sam gives of doing one in your backyard first ,, then find a place where you are going to interact with people , you will love it garaunteed , and don’t forget all those experts giving you tips you will never see out there painting 😂😂 . Where I live on the east coast in the Uk I did my first one on the large pathway that leads down to our beach here where literally hundreds of people walk , once you’ve gone through that you won’t worry about anywhere else . I have friends still who so want to paint here there and everywhere but never do as they just spend hours driving round finding somewhere to hide up 😂😂🎨🎨 get out there you’ll love it good luck
Thanks Joe, I totally agree with what Retired Painter said when he replied to your comment. Even now when I paint outdoors many times my paintings to turn out great, but that is how you learn and regardless it is all about enjoying the process and having fun. I hope you are getting the opportunity to paint outdoors 😊
Hi Sam, I' m from Northeast India, been a great fan for sometime now.. I really do want to start plein air but I'm held back due to time factor, you're a great inspiration , thanks
Thanks greatly Samuel your tips on Plein air painting, it is something that I am looking forward to trying soon. Glad you're keeping well and I've enjoyed the video and your inspiration, stay safe and healthy 👍
Hi Sam, I love your videos, I have learnt so much. One thing I would like to know is: how do you know how much of the scene you’re looking at do you place on your canvas/board? How do you fit the scene onto your board?
Thanks for watching, you should definitely try painting outdoors. I started by finding a plein air painters group in my local area, it was a lot less intimidating 😊
I couldn’t ‘see’ what you were looking at to paint, so I could watch relatively to what you were doing. Made it harder to focus on what you were doing while hearing what you were saying. Confused thoughts. Yes, I want to start Plein Air, just purchased an ‘pochade box - easel - tripod’ I have been trying to start painting since I retired. Still working at it. Sounds terrible, if it’s something I want to do, why am I having issues getting started? I seem to have a lot of issues to overcome. Tried to find a group to paint with, but nothing yet, that I don’t have to pay for a instructor. Rather Use the money for other things I still need. Equipment should be coming some time next week, and I’ll be able to use the equipment indoors and out. I have gone out in the car and tried a few notans, and scouted around but haven’t done any paintings. I do want to make some color charts with my new paints. But haven’t done that yet either. But that is all I do, almost every day, almost all day something to read, watch, listen about art, and painting.
Thank you for watching. Upon reflection I probably should have shown the view of what I was painting in the video but I wanted the video to be more about my thoughts on plein air painting. It sounds like you have everything you need to get started painting outdoors 😊
Lovely painting!! I'm geared up to try plein air painting. Was wondering about mediums. Do you use just gamsol and paints, or do you incorporate galkyd or anything else? When you sell on site do you just send the wet painting along with the buyer? What about varnishing it? Thanks! I enjoyed your video. :)
Great little video as always. I love plein air painting for me it's all about the event it really has a soul of its own. Good info here. I've found a good alternative to the pochade box though by habron art check it out.

I hate people coming up and breaking my concentration and talking to me - especially when I am in a quick paint in a public place.
One thing that intimidates me about plein air is how to organize my equipment. I use paper towels when I paint, and I'm not sure how to organize stuff so I have a good place for used paper towels, etc. I live in a windy area, don't want my trash blowing away, lol. Thanks for your amazing videos, I love them!
Rosemary & Co, Blue Ridge Oils, Alla Prima Pochade, Sourcetek panels…you steering everyone in the right direction. Also good common sense advice.
Thank you. Yes I like to use the highest quality art materials 😊

Welcome aboard and thank you so much Joseph 😊
I’ve done lots of watercolour plein air, but am preparing myself slowly to try oils outdoors too.
Thanks a lot, Sam! That was very interesting!
Thank you for watching 😊
Beautiful painting. I really like your landscape paintings.
Thank you for watching 😊
You are so cool Samuel , thank you 🙏🇨🇦
Thanks so much 😀
I need a push! Now you recommended a plein air group so I will look for one . Thanks
Awesomeness. Plein air painting is fun and will improve your painting skills 😊
Great information 👍🏾
Thanks 😀

Very inspiring as always. Thank you !
Great Video . I'm just getting into it and finding it very intimidating 😁
Yeah, plein air painting can be intimidating to start with but the more you do it, the more enjoyable and less intimidating it becomes 😀
@@SamuelEarpArtist
Thank you I really appreciate your thoughts
Thanks greatly Samuel your tips on Plein air painting, it is something that I am looking forward to trying soon. Glad you're keeping well and I've enjoyed the video and your inspiration, stay safe and healthy 👍
Thank you so much Philip, you should definitely get into plein air painting, it is fun and addictive 😊
Love your work！！！！！
Thank you so much 😊
I start off with charcoal sketches on cheap paper to get my eye in the mode then I dive in with the paint
Thats a great and quick way of getting some composition ideas down on paper 😊
nice artblog, you got my subscription
Thank you so much 😀
Great tips - want to try plein air soon!
Thanks. You should definitely try plein air painting 😀
Hi Sam, I love your videos, I have learnt so much. One thing I would like to know is: how do you know how much of the scene you’re looking at do you place on your canvas/board? How do you fit the scene onto your board?
Thanks Jodie, I decide on what I would like to include in my painting and I simplify the scene. When painting en plein air, keep it simple 😊
I need to be brave !
I was nervous the first time I painted outdoors. I went out with a painting group and it was really fun 😊
Thanks Samual once again for great instruction and advice. Would love to do this but it is intimidating. One day
Thanks for watching, you should definitely try painting outdoors. I started by finding a plein air painters group in my local area, it was a lot less intimidating 😊

Yes, I want to start Plein Air, just purchased an ‘pochade box - easel - tripod’ I have been trying to start painting since I retired. Still working at it.
Sounds terrible, if it’s something I want to do, why am I having issues getting started?
I seem to have a lot of issues to overcome.

Do you have a link to the video of painting from your car. I can’t find it
Lovely painting!! I'm geared up to try plein air painting. Was wondering about mediums. Do you use just gamsol and paints, or do you incorporate galkyd or anything else? When you sell on site do you just send the wet painting along with the buyer? What about varnishing it? Thanks! I enjoyed your video. :)
I love❤, the amount of information 💓,. about 💝 this 💯,,.💖interesting tutorial.💞 thank you for the Beautiful video you share with us.💖💕.,💓.
Isn’t all the linen from Claessens primed with zink? Do you see zink white as a problem?
Hey Roger, I actually don't know about that. I don't use zinc white myself but I have found the Claessens oil primed linen beautiful to paint on 😀
Great little video as always. I love plein air painting for me it's all about the event it really has a soul of its own. Good info here. I've found a good alternative to the pochade box though by habron art check it out.
Thanks so much. Awesome you have a pochade box too, they are so useful for plein air painting as well as using in your studio and travelling as well 😀
Is that your new Art work
Hey Josh, it was a recent quick plein air study i created. I may even add some details to it in my studio but I haven't decided yet 😊
Awesome I love Art work too.. still need to get better stuff. I wish I can do details on panting. But still have a lot to work on
..
@@SamuelEarpArtist here is one of my panting I Did
It's not that I have fear to paint outdoors. I don't have a car to transport the painting gear.
You should find a way to minimise the amount of painting gear you have and just find somewhere local to paint like a park or even your back garden 😀
It’s pronounced “plen.” It’s a French word meaning “full.” As in, painting in full air, or outside. It’s not “plain.”
It's too bad that we turn on a video on art only to be assaulted by the supercillious grin of Camilla Harris.
Uhff, hört nicht auf zu reden... Jedes 10.. Wort ist painting... Sehr anstrengend!! DasBildchen fand ich auch nicht besonderes...
What a great friendly video....I'm off outside now with my paints , thanks Sam
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you 😊
