Nice painting

I never seen red sunflowers,the bees must have been visiting red FLowers

That pink shade 😮😮😮😮

Beautiful architecture to paint. I miss Seattle

I recently attempted to paint in the bright sun. I had no umbrella or shade. Mixed up what looked like a light wheat color on the palette, put it on the canvas and it was a much darker value and greenish blue instead of light yellowish brown. I’ve never had trouble mixing a color in my studio. I didn’t expect such a significant problem.

I loved this painting tutorial!

Thanks!

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!

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 !

Boy! That did change on you! Nice composition- both times

In my humble opinion your colors are all so close. Not enough contrast. Just a bit.

Could you do a plain air with what you plan to use on your trip to France??

Gratitude 🤲 Your Way.

I was blown away by the art on your website, amazing paintings 👍

Very nice!

Enjoy Your Explanatory Manner Always.

Such a beautiful painting. Burrrr you sound so cold . Thanks so much for such a great video and such an inspiration.

Thank you Jon. Wonderful painting and tips.

Very good to see you back and making a go of a very difficult subject! We have been enjoying a balmy week of 17C 63F+ and a north wind and now a drop tot eh low 40s with wind chill! A bit of a shock - I retreated to a sunny room and ordered some Romemary brushes after hesitating for months!!

Nice, glad to see you back. Looking forward to more.

Good to see you back again. Enjoy this video.

Beautiful ❤

Oh yeah. One of my favorite locations! Awesome painting

Great work. I like your approach, and thanks for sharing. Question about the art board... Can you cut it down to a small size at will? How do you cut it?

Very nice, I wonder if mixing flake or lead white with titanium would give a warmer tint at times? Food for thought? Cheers Bert in Oz.

Awesome, the use of negative to suggest snow, very clever. Cheers Bert in Oz.

I am enjoying your work mate, well done, Bert from Oz.

Realy enjoyed watching your mixing process and the advice about lights and darks. Well done! Bert in Oz.

So well done - I hope it sold quickly. It is beautiul.

This is the first time I have seen your channel. Your color and value sense is amazing. I wondered why you are using the upright piece as your palette instead of the great palette in your box? I have searched for more videos and am looking forward to seeing more.

Jon, thought I was the only one who is OCD about cleaning his pallet good to know I’m not he only one. I like room to mix without fighting colors I don’t want. I enjoy your videos and style. Thanks for sharing your work.

Your tree is so beautiful I would take the statue out. It is fighting the attention of the main subject. Great job.

Lovely

Excellent result. You have your act together. Thank you for sharing this.

👍

Such a lovely painting ! Thanks so much for demonstrating your technique

Good morning here. I’m still learning and I enjoy your lessons and work, thank you! Just a quick question, why did you decide to make the boulders in there fore ground larger than the ones in the distance?

I enjoy your work. Thank you for doing what you do.

Thanks Jon another beauty

wht don't you use the no fume turpentine? or mineral spirits?

Wow great perspective, love the architecture around Tacoma. I especially like the finished painting here. Great work!

Regardless, its very attractive

Cheers from a Washingtonian. Really delighted by your wet underpainting. Have never seen it used exactly this way and I'm impressed. I do a watery underpainting with pastel and simply never occurred to me to do the same thing with oil

Brrr….I loved seeing you paint here. Very nice.

When this is framed is it glued to a panel? Or would it be stretched and then shaped around a frame and the edges of the painting are then lost?

Dont succumb to the psy-op lies.

Love it.

Love watching you paint. Thanks
