Plein Air Oil Painting | Dollar Cove Cornwall
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Join me as I try to paint the beautiful evening light at Dollar Cove Gunwalloe in Cornwall. This is a lovely little cove on the Lizard Peninsula and is right on our doorstep. A ship sank here in many years ago and deposited a cargo of silver dollars!
I was plein air oil painting, looking into the blinding evening light. Quite a challenge when combined with a fast incoming tide! Great fun though.
I use a Jullian French easel which is heavy but sturdy and withstands the high winds that we often get in Cornwall. I painted onto a gessoed plywood panel around 30cm x 16cm
I used turpentine and a stand oil / turps medium. Here is a link to my video if you'd like to make your own: • OIL PAINTING MEDIUM - ...
Colours used - Titanium White, Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Yellow, Naples Yellow, Cadmium Red, Magenta, Indian Red, Raw Sienna, Raw Umber, Violet, Ultramarine Blue, Cerulean Blue, Cobalt Blue, Ivory Black and Viridian Green.
Thank you to Madeleine who helped me film this one and to Basil for being great fun.
Please leave any questions in the 'Comments' section - I do my best to reply to everyone.
Bye for now - Andrew

You should bearrested by the brush police. Boy do you abuse brushes! Your love of Cornwall comes through with every stroke. Beautiful sheen on the water. Bravo!
Don’t show the brush police 👮♀️ this video please 😅. I’m always amazed how much you can do with a poor bristle less brush. Daniel Sprick is one of my favourite artists and he uses really cheap poor quality hobby brushes. All the best 👍🏻
Right ! I have both low price and medium price. But sometimes I would like to try something else. I paint small formats with gouache and fortunately I don't need animal bristles. But for porc bristles anyway they don't have to kill them for brushes, they are already killed for food.
About washing, I don't recommend Savon de Marseille because of the quantity of sodium that is a bit corrosive. When I paint with gouache, most of the time I don't need soap or just a little bit for staining colours as deep greens (😣) because I wash immediately after painting.
But I just discovered that I love working with extra-soft pastels only with my fingers. I hope I could download a short video to show you on RUclips.
I wish you a beautiful summer 🌞
Thank you for the advice about savon de Marseille. I didn’t know about this 👍🏻
The artist who moved to Brittany is called Mike Hindle 👍🏻

Thank you very much dear Andrew for giving me the name of your friend. I found him now on internet and his work is also very interesting and pleasant. I am sure he will be inspired in Brittany as well as he was before. I hope some time you could have a great trip in Brittany or somewhere in France with your family including... Of course... Basil 😄 !
Time and tide wait for no man... Another fine painting and video, Andrew. I loved the sound of the surf in the background.
Thank you very much Thomas
Hi Andrew,
What a lovely setting and that sunlight upon the water was so bright, but you made a difficult scene look so simple. I loved the commentary and the subtleness of the colours used. But what was really endearing about this beautiful scene is the way you captured the light and turned it into realism on the plyboard. I must admit the waves did look threatening towards your chosen spot, but it was the pressure you needed to paint this awesome scenery with some trepidation and speed that has paid off with a brilliant result. Overall, a Wonderful little painting in about 25 minutes. Well done mate. 😊👍💯🖐️
Hi Paul
Thank you very much for your kind comments. The incoming tide definitely focused my mind and there was no slacking. I enjoyed it a lot and when I looked at the painting again yesterday I was pleased with the results.
Best wishes to you
Andrew
Lovely little painting again thank you Andrew
Many thanks Denise
You've caught the light beautifully
Thank you very much Karen
Another good 'un: you've got great names out there - Gunwalloe, Godrevy - mind you, we on the Isle of Wight have Watershoot Bay (which I've painted, though in acrylic) and Castlehaven (where there isn't a castle...).
Thank you Robert. It’s been a few decades since I visited Isle of Wight on a school trip 😃
Great video as always! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching John
Fantastic painting, so quick! 😀
Thanks Carol. It worked out well in such a short space of time
Thank you Andrew. Another beautiful experience watching you paint with the sound of the waves in the background.☘️
Glad you enjoyed it Rosemary. Thank you for your support 😃
Beautiful work, really enjoyed watching
Thank you very much 😃
Lovely little painting Andrew 👍
Thank you Keith
Perfect balance between the sky, color, and the bright ocean! Excellent backlit rocks!
Thanks a lot - I appreciate your comments 😃
Great painting , thank you
Thank you Margaret
Great video, what a beautiful place!,
Thank you very much Veronica
Hi Andrew, Madeleine and Basil ! ... and Cornwall lovers ! This is a pleasant video that I want to rewatch on my tv. Nice and inspiring beach and a lovely little painting 🖌️🎨😍
Many thanks Jasmine. We had lots of fun
Really like this one. Well done
Many thanks Tracey
Great, fast painting! Thanks for telling us what you’re mixing. Im still trying to figure this painting stuff out! Haha
Happy to help David 😊
I discovered Gunwalloe church and cove last year. I recognised the scene immediately and was delighted to see the painting materialise. I will be down again in September!
Thank you very much Ian. I’m sure it will be beautiful weather in September
Really lovely vibrant painting. Superb light effect. Plus the magnificent dark ochre cliff rocks behind you at the very end in the evening light!
Thank you so much Amanda 😀
You captured it beautifully ❤
Thank you Cindy
Beautiful piece. The glow of the sun really comes through.
Thank you very much Mike
Really lovely painting and so speedy but so skilful, thanks Andrew for another great video
Thank you for watching Anita
Bravo Andrew, your painting is beautiful. We feel this dazzling light and the colors chosen are superb.
Many thanks Jacqueline
Another fabulous video Andrew, Mads & Basil… nothing like a rising tide to focus the mind! Your little tip at the end, re. the brush roll was a useful suggestion too!
I’ll be down with my fellow Caradock Artists at the end of next month (for a week of pure art)… and your videos continue to remind me why I love Cornwall so much. Thanks for sharing. Mick.
Thank you very much Mick. Hope you all enjoy your art in Cornwall
Beautiful impression Andrew. I particularly like the way you have caught the light on the water, lovely colours too, which capture the scene superbly. It`s interesting that you rarely sketch the scene first , example with charcoal - wish I had that confidence! It seems to make your paintings much more natural and organic...
Many thanks Steve. It takes time to build up a level of confidence but you’ll get there. I found the best thing was when I wasn’t too precious about my work. If it doesn’t work it doesn’t really matter. Move to the next one. That frees you up and builds confidence 👍🏻
Thanks for the advice Andrew...
@@stevelovett9208 you're welcome Steve
Gorgeous, and inspiring! Thank you!!
Thank you so much Joel
That was exciting! Will he make it? 😂 here in Ireland a bit of speed plein air is a useful skill as often we have to paint between breaks in ever changing weather 🙄 loved the way you captured the brights and the tip about the Naples yellow. Thank you for a lovely video.
Thank you so much Linda. Glad you enjoyed it
I really enjoyed this video. I love the way your painting captured that scene! Nice. Wonderful colors in the water which I would not expect that far north. May I use screenshots of the beach and water for reference? I’m studying surface glare and lighting and am not always able to catch that here on our coast because of travel times.
Thank you so much Elisabeth 😀
Yes I’m happy for you to use screenshots 👍🏻
Another thoroughly enjoyable video thank you Andrew and amazing speed and colour mixing...just love the atmosphere you have captured so beautifully and hearing your thought process is so inspiring.... Glad you all escaped the waves 👍😂 All the best.
Glad you enjoyed it Jan and thank you for your comments
Brilliant. Love the glow.
Thank you Alison
Wonderful colors, Andrew. Great mixing skills. 👍👍
Many thanks Bob
Beautiful painting, Andrew!
Thank you very much 😊
Great video! I thought this gave some nice insight into your thought process as you were painting. I notice that when you introduce a new colour into part of the painting you seem to put some dabs of it elsewhere. Is that to maintain harmony over the whole painting?
Thank you. Yes I find it helpful to repeat colours in other areas to keep harmony. Just be careful not to overdo it though 👍🏻
Hi Andrew ... What a beautiful painting in only 25 minutes! ... The way you captured the sun sparkle and reflections around the rocks really makes the painting ... Was noticing the lemon yellow you use is much paler than mine ... What brand of paint is yours? Glad to see Basil was keeping an eye on the tide coming in!
Thank you so much Nancy 😀
The lemon yellow is by Michael Harding but you can add white into a brighter version to get similar 👍🏻🎨
Andrew, когда сильно освещает солнце землю, воду и что-то ещё, попробуйте всё-таки воспользоваться солнцезащитными очками. Я одевала очки, когда сильно светит солнце, очень помогает увидеть правильный цвет и тон.
Thank you for the suggestion. I do need to protect my eyes more from direct sunlight.
Best wishes
Andrew
@@AndrewBarrowmanArt 😘
Another fun video and lovely painting! Naples Yellow is now on my pallette. Thanks!
WHERE IS THE DEFENDER??!
Thanks Lisa
unfortunately the Defender is in need of welding and I will have to sell it! I've bought a boring but useful van type of car so I can get my painting gear in
- and Basil
@@AndrewBarrowmanArt OH NOOOOOO!! So sorry to hear that. 😢. I suppose they just don’t make them like they used to. Maybe someday you can find one circa 1966 😊
that would be great @@lisakunish936
Очень красиво
Thank you so much 😃
Good!
I use the same brushes :)
Great news 😃👍🏻
@@AndrewBarrowmanArt Yes, very important :D
Nice
Thank you
Lovely painting Andrew, Is it a Michael Harding Naples Yellow you use? It seems a lot lighter than mine 218 series 2 is what I have.
Thanks so much Keith. This is a cheap Daler Rowney Georgian naples yellow. I prefer it to the more expensive Michael Harding ones (which I have in my studio)

Thanks
Nice work mate, have you painted the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco?
Thank you. Never painted Golden Gate Bridge 🌉
Viridian, just noticed that - much prefer it to Pthalo Green; so much softer and less ... I dunno; clinical?
I agree Robert. Pthalo does have its uses - in very small quantities
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😘
Thank you 😊
