Landscape Plein Air Oil Painting Demo
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- Oil painting demonstration of a rolling landscape & chalk path in the summer. I explain how to mix colours including greens and at each stage of the painting I give a description of what I'm doing and why. It's early morning with lovely shadows across the path which I also demo too!
It's so good to be back doing a video again, I hope you enjoy Mr B and I!

Ps If you like this one there are many more videos of painting tutorials on my Channel :-)
I also appreciate that you’re painting this in ‘real time’…not speeding it up, or cutting things out…it gives a reality to the time needed to successfully execute such a lovely plein aire piece.
Thank you so much 😀
Oh at last :-) (but speaking as an ex photographer, teacher and trainer) who took up painting two years ago, a TH-cam artist who ensure the painting is well lit, good close ups of your brush strokes and what most artist miss out is the mixing of your colours, certainly going to subscribed to you. THANK YOU !!
Thank you for your lovely comment and support! If you are interested I do have an Instagram page - clarebowenartist, where I post short videos/reels in the same vein as on the TH-cam channel! 📽👩🏻🎨❤️
Thank You Both. Been a fan for a while. I like how you show the photo and all that you work through as you paint. I feel you are in the top 5 or 10 artists on TH-cam doing Plein Air. Myself, I learn from every video. Thanks.
Thank you Jim for your kind comment! Happy to help and share! 📽👩🏻🎨❤️
Always a good morning when I can watch Clare paint and see Mr Bs smiling face. Love this path. Thanks for continuing to post.
Our pleasure Barbara! Appreciate your support! 📽👩🏻🎨❤️
Sitting up in bed with a cup of tea very early in the morning watching your delightful video with a chorus of wood pigeons right under my window! But I can’t think of a better start to the day and for some inspiration to get up and paint. Lovely landscape and composition.
Sounds like a great way to start a Sunday! Thank you! 🎨👩🏻🎨❤️
I loved the initial sketch! Beautiful. For some reason I've always been drawn to the unfinished beginnings of a painting
It must be something in your DNA! 😊❤️
Hi Clare! I am so happy to see you again! Welcome back. I missed you and Mr. B too.
Hi Awilda! Happy to be back, thank you!😊❤️
So great to have you back Clare. LOVE your paintings, I hope to see more often new videos. They help me a lot. Great work!
Thank you, nice to be back and for your support! 📽👩🏻🎨❤️
Clare, so glad you are back !!
Tham
Thank you Marie, glad to be back!🙏❤️
What a great exhibition of the progress, and good shots of the palette… would love to see a bit more of you applying the paint to canvas, if possible please. That distant land mass where you ‘whitened’ the higher edge was the ideal color/value.. bravo!
Thank you Gerrie! Go to my website, clarebowen.co.uk where you can purchase a full length live broadcast of a painting of a still life which shows much application of paint to canvas!
Hello Clare and Mr B., I am very happy to see you again. I missed you with your beautiful happy paintings and your good mood. Once again, your painting of the day is very successful: I love the subject, the colors, the way you have of explaining your process. Bravo for your work and the support of Mr B.😊
Hello Jacqueline! Thank you for your kind words! We are very happy to be back! 📽👩🏻🎨🙏❤️
Hello, what are you using to hold your piles of paint
Had to watch this twice. Missed not seeing you regularly. The painting turned out beautifully! Welcome back!
Well thank you again Lori! Pleased to be back! 😍
Just love how you talk through what you are thinking - hugely helpful! Thank you and thank you to Mr. B!
Thank you Sue! Glad to be of help! ❤️
So glad to see the duo back again!
Thank you Skass, it is good to be back! ❤️😊
Missed you too. Your videos are beginning a form form favourite and a comforting watch and listen as I potter around rather like the familiarity of the Archers or the Shipping Forecast!
Hi Simon, love that - being in the same ilk as arches and shipping forecast lol!! So pleased you enjoy our vids. Best wishes Clare & mr b 🩵
This is a simply wonderful demo. So helpful. You (and Mr. B of course) are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure Mel, thank you! ❤️
Missed watching you both! So happy to see you are back doing plein air!
Thank you Lori! 🙏📽❤️
You are the best plein aire teacher! I learn so much regarding composition and color. Thank you
Thank you David for your kind comment! 🙏❤️
Great demo Clare, as always. I did miss you and Mr B and I’m glad you’re back!
Thanks so much Sheila! 📽👩🏻🎨❤️
I really admire your conviction and boldness. That you do this for others and not yourself is refreshing.
Thank you Mary for your kind thought. It is a challenge but I do enjoy it! 👩🏻🎨📽❤️
First impression painting is always more striking and stays in the mind...excellent Clare .Thank you!
Thank you Pradeep! 🙏❤️
You are just up the road from me in Chichester - so lovely to see the view down the lane from the Trundle painted in your lovely style. Another fabulous demo - thank you!
Thank you Jane for your lovely comment! 🙏📽👩🏻🎨
So happy to see you and Mr.B again
Happy to be back and to see you Mr A again! 🙏❤️
So nice to see your painting process! It’s great to have Mr. B filming and giving us close up views of your palette and your easel!
You are so welcome! Thank you!🙏❤️📽
Glad you're back Clare. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it and found it very informative - great watching you.
Thank you Rikky! Pleased to be back and that you enjoyed the video! 📽👩🏻🎨❤️
Welcome back Clare and Mr B, so glad you are back, always love the end result of the paintings. 😊
Thank you Moria! Pleased to be back!🙏📽❤️
Great job, Clare! Very nice art! Btw. I noticed that it had to be cold out there. Well, at least here in the middle of Europe, we have heatwaves! Have a nice day!
Thank you Harry! A very disappointing July and early August, wet and chilly! Enjoy your summer!☀️😊❤️
@@ClareBowenArtist You too!! ... Btw. Well, I was wrong, a heatwave is over here also, now rainy and cold! In fact, we had a very cold day today. Cheers!
I love your videos and paintings. It really helps me(beginner) to see the photo as well. Jo
Glad you like them Jo and pleased you find them helpful!👩🏻🎨❤️
Hi, it's funny how you can miss someone you have never met! Glad you are back.
Thank you Charm, what sweet words! Glad to be back! 👩🏻🎨📽❤️
Yay!! So very happy to watch another fabulous video. Missed them. I love the light in your artwork. One of the main reasons you are my favourite artist.
Thank you Helene, appreciate your support! 📽👩🏻🎨😍
Amazing to see everything taking shape. I love the impressionistic vibe of some of your paintings. Your colors are gorgeous too. Had to subscribe ❤😊 Keep them coming please!
Thank you Florisabel! 🥰
YAY! It's so nice to see you again!
Thank you Michael! Good to be back! 📽👩🏻🎨❤️
Yes, we definitely have missed u both. Looking forward to more painting.
Thank you Karen for your support! Nice to post again! 👩🏻🎨📽❤️
I like to watch your painting because you are happy smiling people 🙂🙂👍
Thank you so much, Jan! 😀❤️
So good to have the team back on form. Thanks for the detailed mixing and composition commentary, this is so helpful. I shall try to use more raw umber, such a nice result. Thanks so much Clare xx
Thank you Jan! So pleased you found the video helpful, you are very welcome! 👩🏻🎨❤️xx
Woo hoo! You are back!!! I really missed you guys and your lovely painting adventures. Great painting. Loved Mr. B’s Claire impression. Keep up the great work. Xx
Thank you BTA! Pleased to be back! 📽👩🏻🎨❤️
So very happy to see you again. Thank you for your very helpful instruction. Loved the scene. ❤
Thank you Julie! Happy to be here again! Pleased the video is helpful!😍
Good to see you and Mr B back again - and in my neck of the woods! It’s lovely to see how you tackle rolling downlands especially how you edit the composition, I always find I get a bit overwhelmed and lost looking at ALL the fields and working out how to paint them!
Thank you Rachael! Good to be back! Pleased you found the video helpful! 📽🎨❤️
Wayne from minnesota. The way you handle a brush makes me nervous but what s result! Another very important thing you've done is to have the camera image next to your painting. Look how far away the photographic image is compared to how close your painting is. I noticed that myself when I one started a larger painting using the photo instead of relying on the sketch. I had to pull everything closer. Not to mention how color is changed. Good work.
Hi Wayne, greetings Minnesota! Thank you for your kind comment!❤️
Such a lovely video. 👍🏼
Thank you Mathy!👩🏻🎨❤️
Loved your painting and the commentary of Mr and Mrs B. Learned a lot from this demo. Many thanks for sharing
Thank you Bev, our pleasure, happy to share!👩🏻🎨❤️
Uwielbiam patrzeć , jak ustawiasz plany na samym początku. To dla mnie najtrudniejsza część pracy. Na ogół nie wiem od czego zacząć. Wspaniałe kolory. Piękna praca . Pozdrawiam serdecznie
Thank you for your comment! I hope the videos on my channel help with composition and colour mixing! 👩🏻🎨🎨❤️
Thank you love your techniques for underpainting.
You are so welcome!
So glad to have you back- I love this painting and the colours you mixed. You explain everything so clearly too. Thank you 😊
Thank you Amanda! Nice to be here! pleased you found the video helpful!🎨❤️👩🏻🎨
Serendipity strolled my way this morning here in the Adirondacks! I happened upon this particular video in my feed of this gorgeous chalk path painting. Yesterday, I made the jump to a 12 by 36 inch canvas featuring as my focal point a beautiful gravel road with puddles used as an access road to a fishing site on the St. Lawrence River nearby where I grew up. I had wondered if by choosing the road as my focal point was a mistake but when I saw your painting and the view of the path as your topic of interest, I knew I made the right decision! I can’t wait to continue working on it now, after viewing your gorgeous work, Claire! Thank you and Mr. B. for making my morning coffee time extra special! ❤❤❤😊
Often the universe conspires to lead us along the perfect path! Go well B. 👨🏼🎨❤️
Welcome back Clare and Mr B, I missed you both! Another fab demo Clare.
Thank you Anne! Pleased you enjoyed the video! 📽👩🏻🎨❤️
We missed you!! ❤
Thank you Joellyn! We missed being here, life got in the way! ❤️
Your finishing touches are wonderful. That's where I normally muck it all up.
Thank you! 👩🏻🎨🎨
Very BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you very much!
pure visual massage to watch Clare and you two love bunnies! I love your enthusiasm!!
Thank you for watching and your kind words! ❤️
This was a lot of fun to watch, as well as very relaxing. For a hectic day like mine was, this was the perfect antidote, in that way that art forces me to slow down, whether I'm messing around with my own stuff, or simply watching and observing. There's something almost magical about your and Mr. B's dynamic. He interjects questions like a very interested, informed outsider, and you both take turns being proud of each other. You do an amazing job of explaining your process, and it looks like you've conquered the issue of changing light. Needless to say, the painting itself turned out great, and it was fun watching how it evolved from start to finish. Great stuff!
What lovely comments, thank you! So pleased you have enjoyed all aspects of the production! 🙏📽👩🏻🎨❤️
Hello Clare and Mr B! Yes I missed you and wondered where you went!!
😊
Hello! 😊Life happenings got in the way! Went nowhere!😊
@ClareBowenArtist I know how that is too! Glad you're back.
Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing the process and explaining as you go. So inspiring! Beautiful countryside!
Thank you Hannah you are very welcome! I agree, wonderful English countryside! 😍
Welcome back Clare and Mr B! As usual, you've captured the essence of light in your painting and also demonstrated how overlapping can contribute to the illusion of depth and perspective.
Thank you so much 😀Pleased the video is helpful!📽👩🏻🎨❤️
Oh, you guys! YES! Missed you! Was just thinking about you the other day, wondering if you'd post again. Wow. Am I psychic or what! (well, yes I am, actually) 😁🥰💖
Thank you for your thoughts Lorelei! Missed being here! 😊👩🏻🎨😍
Greeting to Clair & Mr B. from the US. Missed seeing your videos. Beautiful place to paint plein air. Always enjoy your painting process.

I love this painting and the way you explain your process is so helpful to a beginner. I'm sure I will be watching multiple times!
Thank you Annie for your kind comment and appreciate your continuing support!🙏❤️
gesso covered?

hello i love your paintings ! keep it up ok! fellow artists from Wooster, Ohio USA
Hello James! Thank you for your comment! Greetings Wooster, Ohio, USA 🇺🇸❤️
Inspiring!.. Beautiful.
Thank you Tess!❤️
Hello Claire and Mr. B. Welcome back both of you. It is nice to see both working hard and enjoying the sunshine together in s beautiful landscape setting in West Sussex. Which I know is one of your favourite places to visit along the South Coast.
I really appreciated watching you painting this lovely landscape view and listening to your commentary about the format and the colours you were choosing and mixing on your pallette. The most amazing thing about this landscape is that it sounded like a very active place, with numerous people out walking with their dogs or their families. Also the air itself was active with helicopters and planes flying overhead, but not at any point did you allow that noise and bustle to shake your confidence or your communication with us, the viewers.
Despite all that went, you managed to create a very lovely painting and the colours are amazing. I learned too that one does not need to paint everything one sees in the landscape because, "Its too complicated..." It was interesting to note how you made the foreground tree the main focus and you omitted anything that was not necessary to contribute to the overall composition. Thank you Clare and Mr. B., for this excellent video as I loved every minute. Take care now, Looking forward to more of the same in the next one. Cheers. 😊💯👍🖐️🍺🌹
Hello Paul what a wonderful comment, thank you for thoughts. Really appreciate your support and watching our video. Best wishes Clare
Great work, Clare! You got the local colors spot on!
I like the use of the Cobalt Violet as the underpainting. Nice choice!
Thank you Robert nice words! 🎨👩🏻🎨❤️
Welcome back Clare😍 I have been waiting for you to do another plein aire painting. Where have you been? Taking a sabbatical? Whatever you have been up to, I am so glad you and Mr.B are back! Is it cool where you are at? I noticed you have on a jacket. Man, we are under a major heat wave! 🔥💥☀️ Gulf coast in the States. This scene is amazing… would love to be there. The ocean off in the distance, is so beautiful. Time to sit back and watch you paint this lovely scene😀🥰
Thank you Sandra, hello Gulf coast! No sabbatical - life and family matters intervened! Cool weather here at the moment and a very wet July! Enjoy the video and thank you for your support! 😍👩🏻🎨🎨📽
Thank you Sandra and hello Gulf coast USA! No sabbatical - just life and family matters intervened! Yes it’s chilly here and we have had a very wet July! I hope you enjoyed the video and thank you for your support!📽👩🏻🎨😍
Thanks, Claire. I was wondering where you had gotten to! Turned out really nice, and so helpful to see your process of thinking through a painting. Thank-you :)
Thank you Heather, glad to be of help!👩🏻🎨🎨❤️
Great to have you back and Mr B back videoing. Some the USA Plein Air are coming to the Great Smoky Maintains National Park to paint for a week in Sept. They are asking local painters to paint one morning, I may join them in painting our down town area of Maryville TN.
Thank you Susan, we are happy to be back! The USA Plein Air group visit sounds too good to miss! Have fun! 👩🏻🎨🎨❤️
Great to see you and Mr B again and thank you for another wonderful painting session! Lovely composition and your colour mixing is amazing. Really enjoyed this. It's been so rainy here in NZ I can hardly wait to see these rich summer colours again! 😊

Thank you Gina! Glad to give you a happy memory of your trail in El Dorado Hills, CA!! ❤️

Love this! Cobalt violet and raw sienna. Great combo. Thank you!
Thanks Sally appreciate your support! 🎨❤️
I really like that paint tray you have. It looks like you might be able to cover it & leave your paints in there. And I like that it contains the paints off the palette. Can you share info on it? I’d love to find something similar. Thank you! (Loved the paint lesson too! Wonderful!! 😁)
Thank you Anne! It is called a Palette Garage from an American company called Great Art Tools! Sadly they will ship to Europe but not to the UK maybe something to do with Brexit! 👩🏻🎨❤️
Wish I was there, painting! Interesting point about the semi transparency of Raw Sienna vs opaque Yellow Ochre.
Thank you for your comment JMT! 🎨👩🏻🎨❤️
Thank you for your generosity in this fabulous demonstration & commentary
Beautiful work
