this video was SO.O.O.O much better, you were talking to us about the painting, and not just chatting to everyone responding to you.....painting is GREAT!!!
This video has a wealth of information about edges, lost edges, etc. I appreciate your narration as you paint. Your videos are worth watching again! Thank you.
I echo all other comments: you are a great teacher and painter! QUESTION: Did you skip the thumbnail sketch this time? if yes, was there a reason, and did it make the process harder?
Thanks so much Maria, I did skip that step here, because when I began, my intention was only to do a study of the tree, but as I worked, it turned into a whole painting. I didn't find it too difficult, but I would recommend doing a sketch before beginning.
Love this video, very helpful. My question is: why do you do the background after the tree? I used to start with the background and then paint the tree over the background, but the result is not satisfactory. Could you kindly elaborate why painting the tree first is beneficial? Many thanks.
I remember this video, I believe when I began my intention was just to paint the tree, but as I went on, I decided to add more. Sometimes I will work both at the same time, jumping back and forth. :)
Thanks! I have two different sizes. One is about 24” the shorter one is about 18” I got them both from artboxandpanel.com. This lengths are approximate.
Thanks Charles, I haven't heard that one before, I had to look her up. Not sure I agree, but that's ok! haha! :) I typically get Amy Adams, in voice and looks, so a change was interesting!
@@JessicaHenry I truly appreciated the lesson in shadows..always something that caused me difficulty...thanks for that! And Elizabeth Bracco is beautiful...so no worries there! LOL
@@JessicaHenry plz help us understand the canvas, paper and cloth for painting. What's for what and how to use them. I'm a hobby artist and most of the time I feel I could not make the right selection of canvas. And also guide how to use Gesso and when shud one need to use it.
Haha! Yes, that definitely comes with the territory! But try not to be embarrassed. If you can just sort of laugh it off when people come up. I've had people say all SORTS of comments, and some were rude and some are nice, you just have to develop a thick skin. I think that most people mean well, and mostly they are curious and want to tell you that they can't draw a straight line or that their Aunt Midge is an artist, or...they want to talk about that artist on TV, Bob Ross! Haha!
Thanks Howard, it's not letting me upload a picture to the comment section. But if you go to my web site, I have this one under "Portfolio of Works- Plein Air". www.jessicahenryfineart.com

Jessica..your work great .. a query? How big is the wooden shaft, where do you rest your supports to paint?
Thanks! I have two different sizes. One is about 24” the shorter one is about 18” I got them both from artboxandpanel.com. This lengths are approximate.
@@JessicaHenry thank you so much 😊😉
thanks so much.. for your service to we peeps not on the ocean..
C'est jolie !
Great study in shadows and values! Glad I found this video! BTW...you bear a striking resemblance to Lorraine Bracco's sister!
Thanks Charles, I haven't heard that one before, I had to look her up. Not sure I agree, but that's ok! haha! :) I typically get Amy Adams, in voice and looks, so a change was interesting!

Is this water-soluble oil paints you are using. Thanks
Jessica please upload videos on watercolor and acrylic
I've done quite a number of watercolors lately, and as far as acrylics I don't prefer them, so I don't use them. Oils are much more forgiving.

Wouldnt it be safer if we pain the sky before we paint the tree?
I wasn't planning on painting the sky, but then changed my mind mid way.
Good Beautiful
Hello! I am from brazil, how to buy your art?

I want to do plein air painting, but I'm kind of embarrassed to do it . Do people come up to u and bug u???

Perhaps think about wearing a clip on mic or something. I have my speakers turned all the way up, and can still barely hear you.
Excellent demo. If possible can we get a close up shot of the finished study.
