Nice sketch and nice paint Alvin ... but your hour to paint is incredible, I think in my country today, it could be difficult and not sure to make that without any problem in the big town ...
Another great video, Alvin. A couple questions about location oil painting. Is there a method to your using small containers for some colors and tubes for others? Also, where do you store wet panels when using your Strada easel?
Larry Marshall Good question. I travel light. So I keep the ‘colours’ in the little containers. The base colors that I use a lot: e.g. white, raw umber... I just bring the tube. These paints also weigh less than the metals.
@@AlvinMarkArt No, I haven't but I'll see it soon. I went searching for something like that and found ruclips.net/video/Fvl46oomPZM/видео.html, which answers my first question (sorry for wasting your time to answer it again). And then, a reply you made to a comment on that video got me to you putting all your backpack contents on the floor and there I found your sample case solution to my second question. I need to spend more time with your older videos. I wasn't interested in oil painting back then :-) Thanks for your response(s).
Those tonal vaues in the last nocturne! I'm looking at you paint what appears to be different values, yet I know you're there "getting it right" :-) . The values are not easy to see looking at the video. Was that a 10 x 7 panel Alvin?
If something doesn't work on canvas, I might add or subtract to make it work. Not sure if I'm answering your question. My standard is a 9" x 12" for outdoor studies. Unless it's for something specific like a commission.
@@AlvinMarkArt Thanks - I was mainly considering the time required to do the panel size, vs the light change/time. Couple of thoughts in that. eg You use raw (?) umber for drawing the painting, which is quick drying. Did you ever go through a phase of drawing it in a dry medium like charcoal or pencil, and then go straight to the blocking in stage? Which way did you start off?
Wow great paintings as usual thank you and wow I really liked that mechanical noodle sculpture so cool 👍😃 stay well
Thank you so much for following the posts. :) Many eye candy in Tokyo.

This means you get to see the beautiful stars where you are at in the evenings :)

Larry Marshall Happy to assist, Larry. As long as it gets you closer to oil painting more 👋🏼

I only give myself 3 hours (plus) when I’m painting outdoors. Everything else is all about time management.
Yes, it’s a direct raw umber.
Lawson - I'd know that signage anywhere.
Yeah, it's one of the more popular convenience store. When I see the logo, I think "milk".
