Richard you were the first plein air painter I discovered on TH-cam and you are still my number one. I love the walkabouts! I am amazed ar your mastery of those large canvasses and your technique with the pallet knife is second to none. All the best for 2024.
Your paintings are tremendous but what I find the most impressive is your commitment to establishing your camera shots and setting the stage for creating an engaging vlog. The painting is already a job but to bring along sound and video equipment too? Bless you. Thank you for sharing your passion with the world!
Richard, it is soooooo good to see you outdoors painting in the wild again! Sure, your studio painting is also great and fun, but the real thing is still the real thing. Were it possible I'd be right out there with you, but in the meantime, I truly enjoy you sharing how you enjoy your Aussie outdoor painting.
Beautiful. I love the atmosphere and Richard getting his breakfast or tea, so peaceful. Then I get ready to enjoy the experience of seeing him painting.
Having watched you for a good few years Richard I am quite certain that you are the modern master of abstract Australian landscape painters. Another very impressive effort.
Since you asked, I love watching you paint anywhere because you are an amazing artist. The energy you give to your work is fantastic no matter what. However, the plein air videos show how much you love the subjects you paint, and how much effort goes into planning not only the painting itself, but the whole trip. I really enjoyed camping when I was younger, usually solo with my two dogs so watching you puts me back in touch with that feeling of "peaceful exhilaration" that you don't get when you have company. To watch you document that emotion on canvas with oil paints just lends even more credibility to the work itself. Like you say, "Beautiful stuff!"
Amazing how much of a sense of realism you achieved after adding the water at the 35:35 mark! The early prep of the shadow and light + sky was enough to give a sense of realistic form and the river set the scene, separating the foreground and background and tied it together so quickly. 👏👍🏼
Great to see you out on the water again, love watching you in Australias’ fantastic landscape. The solitude and sounds fill me with joy and bring back happy memories of my time spent in Australia. Your paintings inspire me, you are the master of pallet knife painting and a great colourist. Happy New Year to you.
Always take us outdoors with you! From one plein aire artist to another, you are more inspirational than you know! Even just seeing you deal with the wind, running low on ultramarine blue, anticipating the sun's path and future shadows, etc... encourages us. Beautiful paintings are icing on the cake!!!
G'day Richard, have Covid and last few days have been horrific but imagine my delight to see another walkabout/paint video to watch. Once again I love the soft water/reflections technique complimented by the chunkiness of the trees. You have a way of capturing the character of the key elements in the scene. The trees are the highlight, the key players and there is no doubt they are Gum Trees. My take away from this paint is how you key down certain areas to draw the eye to the areas you wish the viewer to focus on. Lines, tones, contrast are all important. I would also like to thank you for all the behind the scenes you do to produce these videos. Setting up a camera to capture you driving or walking into view etc. plus all the other technical aspects I'm sure most would not be aware of. Your videos take me on a journey from the time you arrive, the meals, the paddling along the river, it's inspirational mate. I'm enjoying your new studio work as well and combined with your trips away, it brings us the magic that is you my friend. Cheers, Rich
Hi Rich, really appreciate the feedback mate! You’re right, there is a ton of work to bring these videos together. I do really enjoy it and collecting the extra B roll footage and editing it in I find really enjoyable. To me it’s another way of creating!!! Cheers 🎨👍😊
Hi there from Italy. I love travelling Australia in the wilderness while you have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Show us the beauty of your homeland. Lovely paintings.
Yeah I agree!.. it’s really good to see you outback ….in the outback 🤭 and I absolutely love this painting and your loose technique Richard! ….. childhood memories from the fifties for me🙏 Keep taking those plein-air trips. Cheers Ian
Always enjoy your videos, looks like you have some great areas of inspiration over there. Love the methods you use and the energy you get into your paintings. Particularly love the reflections you achieve. Keep up the good work!
Hello, Richard. I live in Russia. I've been watching your videos for several years now. Beautiful nature. Amazing paintings! Thank you for the pleasant moments. Tatyana.
I enjoyed seeing you back to plein air, you have a beautiful part of Australia to paint from and I enjoy seeing your connectivity with nature while painting and the happenings around you. The emus were fabulous…
Good to see you back out on location. While I love your studio work as well, my favorite videos are when you are on location. I get to see a part of the world I will never get to see in person.
Hello Richard, what a beautiful journey you offer us through your video. Sublime images of the river in the early morning or at sunset, with the singing of birds as an extra. For your first painting, it's amazing to see the abstract version up close, as always. As for the 2nd, it's incredible how you manage to make this rising sun dazzling in our eyes. Concerning the last one, it is truly magnificent with these sublime reflections in the water, and these giant trees whose character you perfectly capture. Well done, you have a lot of talent.😊
Hi Richard, Happy New Year to you. So great to see you back out dong your outdoor camping and painting. Its brilliant and been a wee while. True you've been really busy setting up your gallery and what a great job you've done there. That is for sure on my calendar to visit. Thanks again for taking the time to share your trips and your talent. You provide us all with the inspiration we need to do our works. Thanks again, Bill (NZ)
Greetings from Northern California! I really enjoy watching your videos! Your style of painting, the beautiful landscape of the outback locations, and the outstanding paintings you create are what draw me to your channel. Keep on doing what you are doing. Cheers!
👋Happy New Year Richard, thanks for presenting more wonderful paintings of yours. All look fantastic, but the large one is my favorite, I like these large paintings, and you have again found some remarkable individually shaped eucalyptus trees. Harmonious, almost pastel colors make for an awesome sun drenched landscape painting, truly another feast for the eyes! Plein air painting is great because you can "compare" the real subject with the finished artwork; a good thing for beginners also, I think.❤
Y, y, y more outdoors. The camping, cooking in nature, the sights, your descriptions of said area, the why of how the sun affects... There are too many reasons for enjoying... thou the new studio is fabulous... It's a studio! Great during rain days. The down under outdoor experience is unique and has so much ground to cover in such an interesting wildlife environment...which makes U 1 of a kind on TH-cam. Buyers R always seeking a way to connect with art. Even more about outdoors vs studio 😂eliminates hearing the pallette knife sounds, which could be covered over playing nature sounds while in the studio. instead fast forwarding works. Will we B seeing the beard get shorter? 😅Ann,Florida fan
Greetings from Oregon. Love watching these Australia Plein air videos. Thanks for all the hard work you put into planning, filming, editing on top of your brilliant painting. I love the scenery. I find it really educational the way you share the colors you are using, and what you’re thinking as you mix. (Do you ever see Crocodiles?)
Ура! Воистину наступило новое время Нового года - Ричард нам всем сделал новогодний сюрприз! Наконец-то мы оказались в новом свободном полёте долгожданного пленера! Это - Fantastic Staff !!! Здравствуй, дорогой Ричард! ❤️🔥 Окунаюсь в твой воздушный пленер, где фантастично много творческого воздуха, на каждом дюйме)) Спасибо за эти три космические картины! Твоё видение через шпатель просто Невероятно - природа превращается в рассказы о её философском содержании... 😇 О чём говорит Восход Солнца... Наше небесное светило встаёт из волшебных врат, расширяясь к небу, давая себе выход в полное пространство вариантов нашей жизни... что нам говорит - Твори, Созидай, Радуйся; Пой гимн Счастью! Большая третья картина, как Триединство по закону Вселенной тройственного союза между тобой зрителем и природой ❤️🔥 Природа в этот раз была особенно щедра, показав нам и животный мир, чему радуюсь просто по-детски ))) Спасибо Оператору в твоём лице! Ричард - Ты творишь нам всем Счастье! С глубокой тебе благодарностью! 🙏❤️🔥🍀🌹
Очень красиво!Я обычно большие холсты грунтую акриловым герметиком мастихином.Если появляется вмятина на холсте я кистью с обратной стороны холст смачиваю водой и он выравнивается.Попробуйте,этот метод используют художники с Андреевского спуска в Киеве.
Hi Richard. Love your paintings. Two questions. Are their crocs in that river.and never seen you cook any meat at the campfire .vegetarian 😊Jim from England .
СПАСИБО ЗА ВИДЕО. ДЛЯ ВАС ОТРЫВОК ИЗ СТИХОТВОРЕНИЯ: В противоречии времени, и вещим снам, Когда измеряешь мир, противоречиями, Они близки, но далеки от нас в вечности, Во тьме в то час тихий, стояла на перекрестке, Дорог, озаренная Луной с ног до головы, И тихо шептала губами, бессмертные слова, Думала откровениями, что в миру Вас двое, И сознание многоликое, отражалось тенью, Думая что, вечное и великое образуют одно, Где слиты воедино, темные дороги печали.......
I’ve been using your vids as a tutorial and trying to follow along. I’ve got a long way to go! But the colour is hard to differentiate when your outside, the studio vids are easier follow.
Richard you were the first plein air painter I discovered on TH-cam and you are still my number one. I love the walkabouts! I am amazed ar your mastery of those large canvasses and your technique with the pallet knife is second to none. All the best for 2024.

СПАСИБО ЗА ВИДЕО. ДЛЯ ВАС ОТРЫВОК ИЗ СТИХОТВОРЕНИЯ: В противоречии времени, и вещим снам,

И сознание многоликое, отражалось тенью,
Думая что, вечное и великое образуют одно,
