I love the phrase " you can't control if they like it, but you can control if they see it." Twice a year I have a yard sale that has a fine art section that is advertised as such. Since I sell most of my paintings during these yard sales, I've been contacted by two galleries, I dont have anything left for them to review..lol. .maybe next year
Ryan, I love how you sprinkle the whimsy serious about.. that bandaged ear had me laughing. but the final of the big boat that became so ...uah,,formal and b i g then you took it down and made it a gorgeous combination of light, swirls, value.. kicked Mr Rogers to the side and brought FEELING in. that more relaxed yet wild swoosh of your strokes made it remember to breath and gave the boat a beautiful whole glow.. okay, I blabbed trying to describe how I felt watching & listening.. amazed, inspired and thankful to see art that brings pure happy to be alive... The struggle is ... worth it, you prove that. Thank you.
Oh my gosh I just adore you. You always make me smile. At PACE in Denver, I was so excited that you were giving a demonstration and I’d see you in person. Then I walked right by a bearded artist painting in the hallway outside the vendor area. After I got past, I thought ,’oh my gosh I think that was Ryan Jensen’. Then I was outside painting on one of the painting days and thus cleanly shaved guy came and asked me where everyone was and I gave some stupid answer and after he walked away ,again I thought, oh my gosh tgat was Ryan Jensen-he shaved his beard!’ Twice didn’t recognize you when you were right in front of me. Loved your demo there. Hope You’ll be at PACE this year near Reno.
Thank you, Ryan for sharing these videos and your thoughts! I am headed out to paint today and it helps to see your large, expressive light-filled paintings! Your process and sense of humor makes my heart sing and not take it all so seriously. Just get out there, paint and have fun!!! GREAT video!!!
@@ryanjensenart light on trees, baby. Trees on the water, the understory in forests. Its all I can think about lately. Painting every day. I watched you on erics show chasing the cow and it really blew my mind
I loved your video. Speaking of a breath of fresh air, you are!!! I'm having a ball laughing at your antics and watching you bring real beauty to blank canvas's.
@@ryanjensenart Tanx for the encouragement, really appreciate it. Just finished the one on my profile pic. Going to start another one this weekend and going to try harder to loosen up more lol
you had something really special around 13:03 - wild, mysterious, floating, open to the imagination. sometimes it's best to start another painting at that point. the "end" isn't always the best place to stop.
I was all ready to give a little feedback that you asked for, but instead, I was completely entertained and enlightened by this well made, humorous, informative video! Loved the way you corrected the boat in the middle of the canvas, brilliant! You're the BOSS, Ryan!! :) I laughed out loud a few times!
I live in Eureka, but so seldom find any videos from this area. I was surprised when it said, Woodley Marina. I go there all the time to take photos. I just consider them test shots, because the ship rigging is the perfect test for sharpness. I really appreciate your loose style. This is a great place for artists to live and work. Duane Michals, famous photographer, was here once doing a workshop at HSU. He said, "this place is lousy with photos."
@@ryanjensenart Duane Michals was just being funny. He creates photo stories with words. He created a niche like no other. His work is top notch. I've met him a few times and he's been super nice to me. He just meant that this area is good if you're a landscape photographer, like I am, but he doesn't do work like that.
@@ryanjensenart haha if it was easy everyone would be doing it. I really like how you use the burnt sienna for the toning. I’m gonna give that a go next painting. The way it looks with the blue is awesome. Absolutely love it!
@@jackal1776 yeah there's really something about the wet paint and a paper towel in the beginning that really helps too! look forward to seeing what you do!
Fantastic loved the entertaining whilst learning - I laughed out loud when you did the ‘ear thing’ my dog who was asleep under the table in my studio jumped 😂omg I could hear my art history lecturer shouting ‘be serious’ lol…..anyways, totally agree always a student learning is amazing this is fun way too. Hokusai believed he became an artist later in his life I think 70 years and the proceeding years was practise. Keep going RJ good fun and great work, glad your video popped up on my feed. Take it easy.😊
Amazing! ------------------------- ".... but I find resolve in knowing that 'If I can just remember to be present and observe the world around me in my own unique way, in theory, everything will be ok..." (12:33)
Great video Ryan! Thanks for sharing with us all. I too loved the Vincent part, and the hand-in-wheat slow mo scene that i remember from the movie gladiator. I love the boats and would continue watching those! But i also think maybe a dilapidated sea-foam green old Ford truck with some rust in that burnt Sienna color surrounded by golden grasses would be pretty great. Just sayin’ Great video! Again thanks! Oh do you use bristle brushes or synthetic? They seem to lay down paint pretty differently.
Just subbed. Nice work! These paintings are huge. How many days do most of them take, and how many hours per session? I mean, the sessions cant be that long if it's plein air, especially if you're going for that golden hour light. Also, I hope you can paint on something better than Michael's canvas! I suppose that's the only way to afford to do all these big paintings though 😂
