I absolutely adore this painting. SERIOUSLY! You've made me want to go back to oils again. I started painting watercolors a few years back. BUT... I REALLY MISS MY OILS NOW! 🤗
Great video! I found this one to be one of the best ones you've made yet! Full of helpful information. I really appreciate you taking the time to record, edit and post these.
Thank you BBG! I recently posted a painting of sunflowers on my Instagram page a short video of which I aim to post on Instagram this coming week! 📽🌻❤️
This is so interesting to hear how you've used the same 3 colours throughout a lot of the painting. Excellent commentary and obviously I love the finished painting!
Thank you for the effort of preparing this still life painting, filming the process, editing and posting this video: this is enjoyable and highly instructive, not to forget MOTIVATIONAL: it makes me want to go paint! Loli
Love the video! It is fascinating what you are able to do with 3 colors. Also showing how you changed brushes really helps. I tend use one or two brushes and try to make the brush do things it can’t.
@@ClareBowenArtist I'm afraid I have fixated on mandarin oranges. But the lemons will be my next victims! brentbrown.art/images/peeledorange.png I always overwork my paintings :(
Weirdly enough, some years ago, in a different time and phase, I found cerulean and raw umber was a wonderfully beautiful and useful color. It probably sounds weird but try it!
Hi Clare, Not sure if still life is a change of genre for you on this occasion, as you are mainly an En Plien Air Painter, from the number of videos I have seen since prescribing to your channel, but it was very rewarding watching your "still life" process in creating this lovely piece of artwork. Thanks for the tutorial and three colour demo.🎉😊
Hi Paul, I enjoy still life as well as plein and landscape/seascapes. I like having variety keeps me interested and inspired! ☺️ I’m pleased you enjoyed the video!
I think today is the first time your videos have showed up in my feed. I love this painting and think you’ve done a superb job on the video! So very helpful to hear thoughts, logic & color choices. Just subscribed!
Une belle réalisation bien contrastée et harmonieuse. À mon sens, «l'effet beurre» ( l'empattement de la peinture) est quelque peu excessif pour une nature morte car il limite nécessairement l'ajout de détails fins. Bien cordialement.
Hi Clare, This is such a great video, so useful to hear your colour choices and watch you paint. I have watched is several times! Could you please tell me if you are using any medium and what type? I love painting with oils but always want them to be more fluid. Thanks so much!
I love the colors in this painting so much. The background is divine. I am trying to find a class…desperately. There’s only so many RUclips videos I can watch. What is this style of painting called? Any chance I could use acrylics (I have so many Golden acrylics) I want to learn tonal values in color. Any suggestions of a name of class I would look for? I’m so sick of being self taught I could scream. ♥️😁
Thank you for your comment! The style is called Impressionism! Not sure you can use acrylics but don’t know for sure as I have never used them myself. I know Kevin McPherson’s book has some stuff about tonal values which may help. I suppose the thing to do is find a class and before joining check out whether they cover tonal values in colour. 👩🏻🎨❤️
Hi Sanjana! I mostly use Jacksons Artist quality oil paints. Titanium, cad lemon yellow, cad yellow, raw Sienna , scarlet lake, permanent rose, Viridian, cerulean, cobalt, ultramarine & cobalt violet Scarlet lake is a Winsor & Newton
Very... fresh and painterly outcome! Excellent brushwork! Are you using any medium with your paint? I noticed some very good paint flow when you were painting the left side of the background. Was it done alla prima? I noticed that you had no issues with the paint layers, where I usually get a slippery, muddy mess... Anyway, many thanks for the demo!
Hi Dimitris thank you I’m pleased you like it! 🍋 it was done Alla Prima in one go on one day. I used turpentine to thin the layer to start. It helps not to go too thick to quickly. A base first then thick over the top. Last layer no turps. Hope this helps. Best wishes Clare
I am so sorry for not replying to your question! I am ashamed to say I couldn’t remember offhand so checked back but had no luck. I am not using that size anymore……🙈
Hi, I'm new to oil painting, when you added the midtones and highlights, did you do it with a medium? or did you paint the first layers with thinner? or am i not understanding the "Thick over Thin" rule
Hello the first layer is with gamsol. 2nd is with a smaller amount if gamsol then no gamsol for final layer. This makes it thicker and thicker and my brush is loaded more at the end stages too. Hope that helps. Happy painting! Clare 😊
What brand of scarlet red is this? I’ve never used scarlet but see different color names of paint that include the name in like parole scarlet, or Naphthal scarlet etc…
Whenever I use oil paint my colours are so sheer. I can’t spread them like you do I don’t understand why. I use my oil to spread it but then it becomes sheer and they don’t overlap
I saw this video three times and it’s very instructive for me, Betín re in oil painting. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful, Antonio, thank you!❤️
i like that you didn't overwork it or fuss over it and kill the mojo. very pretty painting.
Thank you Jack for your kind comment!❤️
I love your painting , how generous of you to share your talent . The colours are amazing .
Thank you Lucy, happy to share! 👩🏻🎨❤️🎨
That was beautiful to watch
Thsnk you Mahmoud! 🙏👩🏻🎨
I absolutely adore this painting. SERIOUSLY!
You've made me want to go back to oils again.
I started painting watercolors a few years back. BUT...
I REALLY MISS MY OILS NOW! 🤗
Thank you Kyay!! Maybe try a small oil sketch and see if you like it again? 😊🎨
@@ClareBowenArtist
Yes...That's exactly what I'll do. 🤗
Thank you for sharing an excellent commentary and a beautiful painting of lemons! I love it! 🍋💛💛💛
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you Patti!

Thanks poppit Sam, it is good sometimes to use a limited palette. I'm so pleased you like this one! x
Another fun one.. I appreciate you listing the colors you use.. very helpful Clare

Thank you Joel! 📽❤️

Thank you so much Eugenia! It is surprising what you can do with 3 colours. Also changing brushes makes a big difference in brush strokes.
Claire you are amazing at what you do , such talent, well done.
Oh wow, that's very kind of you to say, thanks Anthony!
Really liked this the nuance of shape and colour came across very well. What a wonderful view from your window.
Thank you Robert for your kind words! We are lucky to have found such a house/view!❤️
This is beautiful.🍋I love painting fruit!😁Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your interest! 🍋🍑🍌❤️
The one I've looked for! Thank you. . .
You are very welcome!
I like the panel adapter on your easel. Pretty nifty!
Thank you Michael - my husband made it & it works well for boards as there’s isn’t a big overhang/shadow on the painting.
nice bright fruit 😀 and its handy to see how you get your lights and shadows done 😀
Thank you glad it was helpful!
Nothing more Perfect for kitchen wall than this, realistic looks fresh all the time 😁, beautiful, exclusive and artistic 👍👍👍❤
Oh how nice, thank you Yanto! :-)

Very nice stylization. Beautiful loose painting
Thank you Paul! 🎨♥️
Very painterly style Clare. Thank you for your demo, it was enlightening. You've inspired me to attempt something similar with some objects here.
Happy you enjoyed the demo! I think you have already said in a previous comment that you would use your lemons and bowl!🍋🍋🍋 Did you???
@@ClareBowenArtist I'm afraid I have fixated on mandarin oranges. But the lemons will be my next victims! brentbrown.art/images/peeledorange.png I always overwork my paintings :(
That is a classic painting.
Thank you Leonardo! 👩🏻🎨❤️
I love to watch Calre's painting. She seems to get beautiful results without too much hullabaloo
Love that, thank you Steven!
Very true! And I wonder where on earth she sources lemons with leaves, as I never see any where I live in darkest Kent!
Excellent ... and inspiring. I'm new to oil paints and will have a go myself. Thanks, Clare.
Thank you Peter! Do have a go and good luck! 🎨👨🏼🎨
Very helpful. Thank you for your precise, easy to understand instruction. 👍
Glad it was helpful! Thank you :-)
Hi you great I am learning so much from you. I am in you, Painter, and thank you so much ❤
Thank you Aviva! Glad to be of help!❤️
Wonderful still life painting! Such a pleasure to watch and straight to the point steps without a lot of unnecessary yammering, (talking). Cheers!
Thanks so much Polly! So glad you like the no-yammering style!! 😁
How I wish there was a reference photo available for this! I could paint along and learn much 😊
Sorry Gerrie Kay! 👩🏻🎨

Une belle réalisation bien contrastée et harmonieuse. À mon sens, «l'effet beurre» ( l'empattement de la peinture) est quelque peu excessif pour une nature morte car il limite nécessairement l'ajout de détails fins. Bien cordialement.

Hello there! Glad you have found the video useful. I use a product called Gamsol. It is similar to turpentine but is odourless!👩🏻🎨❤️
😩You make it look so easy...
Thank you for your kind comment! ❤️

Thank you Jeff, that’s so nice to hear!! 😊🍋
I was wandering what you use for your paint trough? Looks like a neat way to put out paints.
Hi Richard it’s called a Palette Garage from Great Art Tools USA. You can buy it online mines a 11x14” 🎨
This is so beautiful. Do you teach online at all?
not as such only by demonstration! 👩🏻🎨🎨

Hi Claire, great video and painting! Sorry if asked and answered but I was curious what size this canvas is. Thank you 🙏🏽
Hi Bryan it’s a 15x40cm board. Hope that’s helpful! Best, Clare
👍👍👍
Thank you! 🍋🍋🍋
I take it you use some medium when covering larger areas?
Hi Deno! I use Gamsol to thin the paint🎨👩🏻🎨😊
Clare, what type easel is this?
Hi Gerrie it’s called a Best easel by Richeson from the USA. It’s v good!
Amazing!! What type of oils do you use?
Thanks! I use a variety of professional brands: Michael Harding, Winsor & Newton, Jacksons Art.
Really beautiful Clare!! What size canvas is this please?

I have a question Do you only use lin seed oil when coloring after sketching? Or do you mix the two Linshid + Terefins?
Hi, I only use Gamsol which is a odourless turpentine! 👩🏻🎨🎨❤️
@@ClareBowenArtist Wouldn't it be too transparent if I only used Gamesol? And I think the picture is going to split.
Hi Claire do you use MDF boards
Hi Susie, I do use MDF 3mm boards with 3 layers of acrylic gesso. Best Clare
