TRYING CANSON OIL PAINTING PAPER plein air with Jon Bradham

- In this video, I set up on the Tacoma waterfront near the Point Defiance Marina. I do two quick plein air paintings on Canson oil paper because the light changes so drastically over the session. I talk about and show my plein air oil painting process.

Never seen you before. Didn't think you'd be able to pull it off, then was surprised to see a final result that reminded me of the French painter Marquet, one of my favorites, who paints like a child but captures light and sense of place like an adult. Bravo!
Thanks for watching and for the feedback- I haven’t heard of Marquet, will have to look them up
A challenging composition and changeable conditions! It reminded me of Venice! The mooring poles and water reflections and you illustrated how light and conditions change so quickly. I usually cannot bare to watch the Sky UK Landscape Artist competition - i find it too contrived, I find the criteria used by the judges subjective and the three hour time limit places pressure on the artists. On top of that, they ahve to deal with 180 degree change in light and weather conditions! You did very well to cope.
I do have so called oil papers which resemble canvas but I tend to use them for unimportant studies or as a record of colour mixing compilations. I have the book on Monet's Rouen cathedral series and Monet was driven may but the Normandy weather - as changeable as England's! Ian Roberts seems to recommend taking oil primed linens and taping them to boards for painting. When I made a September drive to Narbonne in 2015, I found conditions in France so windy that i did not attempt to do an oil and resorted to watercolour in shattered places. When I got there wind farms in every direction underlined the point that the gap between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic was wind rich! You may be fine in other parts of France but the Midi is known for the Mistral and most local properties used a lot of bamboo windbreaks. Good luck !
Thanks for watching and for the feed as always Ian! I was not impressed with the oil paper - it seems to lack luminosity with oil paint. I’ve tried charcoal drawing on it and that works pretty well if you want texture - I’ve tried gouache on it as well with mixed results. I’ll keep playing with it to use up what I bought 😊
I do like Landscape Artist of the Year - I can find them here on YT once in a while and Prime has the first few seasons. I often disagree with the judges, but I enjoy seeing some artists I know on there (like Haidee-Jo Summers) and I enjoy seeing the different approaches taken by the artists. I love seeing all the sights around the UK they pick as well and add many of them to my ‘want to visit and paint’ map. Best to you and yours!
Boy! That did change on you! Nice composition- both times
Thank you 🙏
