    Jewel of the day: “...if you take the preciousness away from something, and you have nothing to lose, then the opposite is also true; you have everything to gain.’
    Majestic words, thank you Ken Knight.

    I accidentally discovered your artwork on Pinterest and even happier you have a TH-cam channel. There's something about your color and value choice that adds a surreal lighting effect thats I am totally mesmerized by. New fan.

    I love the way he’s absolutely covered in paint, like his kit. I’d love to see the next owner of that car! That panel he painted, wow. If you scaled up his tools you’d be using a yard brush on a 16” x 12” canvas, boy he has great control.

    Kenny, you're a legend, mate! To those asking silly questions or making silly statements about music, paper... go fly a kite in deep water. This is a little taste from his DVD series (I have all 3 and they're fantastic!).. Ken is a brilliant, expressive mad genius filled with passion and purpose. For Christ sakes the man has cadmium running through his veins!! Turn it up Kenny!!

    Good Advice "Get out there and be prepared to try different things". Great work, and you make it look so easy, as professionals do. Plein air is far more difficult than most realise.

  • @fullpreteristnow

    My wife was painting rocks, because a lot of people hide them in the parks around, for others to find. As a landscape artist, I decided to paint some landscapes on some smooth flat rocks and like you said, I had no anxiety since these free "heavy" canvases were bountiful and I just felt free to quickly experiment. Now I have about 25 of these and some are quite nice. Only problem is, they weigh a ton. Haha. So my wife said, sell these. Get rid of them! They are drying on every shelf and counter and table. Oops. Some are quite large too. It would be nice to sell them by the pound.

    Hiya Ken, awesome plein air video! Thanks for doing these, and I'm sooo glad to see that I'm not the only one that comes home with more paint on my face than I've managed to get on my canvas. My wife says I have two kinds of clothes, those that have paint on them, and those that will. Paint on!!

    Hi Ken, Do you put a primer on the cedar or plywood when you paint? Like clear gesso?

    • @kenknight8681
      @kenknight8681 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Hi Terry, Yes I often use a clear sealer to prevent too much "suck" or paint absorption while painting. I mainly use this on marine ply, or if I paint on Masonite ( without gesso ).Painting onto a dark surface will definitely alter your colour and tonal values, as opposed to painting on the traditional white surface of canvas or gesso board.If I paint on solid cedar, I like to paint on this surface without any sealer/primer ...Ultimately its a personal thing.
