A Gift:
I meant to give this to everyone for Christmas, but life had other plans. I have been wanting to do a complete walkthrough demo to give to everyone on my YT channel and FB channel just to say 'thank you!' for the support. It has been a real adventure for me exploring the world of teaching online, and with regards to the online platform, I am indeed a student. So thank you for your support as I have learned (and continue to learn) the tech needed to do this!
I really only started exploring the possibilities less than a year ago. I had a youtube channel but had never done anything with it. My son and I began collaborating on how I could share my knowledge and experience with a wider audience online, and I am happy to say since then, I have taught many workshops and demonstrations through Zoom. Our goal is to make the content always better and more useful. So I hope the technological progress is reflected in the more recent videos.
In this video I am painting a landscape scene of a farm here in Utah. I talk a lot about not getting caught up in the details, but rather to focus on the overall painting that is being created.
There are a few tips and tricks in the video, a lot of painting and discussion. I hope you enjoy it and that is helpful! If you enjoy it, please share and subscribe!
Happy 2022 everyone.

6/24/23- I don’t know where you’ve been all my life because I just found you. This is how I would love to paint and I love how you explained it all through the painting. I’m going to give it a try, thanks to you.❤❤❤
I'm so glad you found me. If I can be of any help, just let me know.
What an absolute treat watching you paint! Please do more full demos like this.😊
Thank you! Will do! And thanks for taking the time to comment.
I loved the place where you added more tree shapes behind the silo/barn where it came to a hard point.
Your book was a turning point for me in my self taught art journey, and I am so grateful for the videos that you have also shared!
Thank you, Katie. Sometimes a visual problem arises that one cannot see at the beginning. Glad you are enjoying the book and the videos. Cheers.
A wonderful video! I always get sucked in by details. I loved your reminder that the painting should be better than the photo!
Thank you Louise. Right! The camera us just a recorder-we can be more than that.
I just found you and I loved this tutorial! Helped me understand how to reach my desired results and I was thrilled with my results! I am a home-taught beginner and I feel like I am being given not only the ability to produce a picture, but to understand the theories that support your artistic style and can bring that to bear for my own art! Your generosity as a teacher is wonderful!
Thank you Judith. I'm glad we connected. I feel that the paintings I do are not as important as the joy in painting I can pass along. Have a wonderful journey in your art.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. So many times, you don't get to hear the artist thought process and antidotes. What a treat to listen and watch you create a work of beauty!
You are so welcome! It was a lot of fun doing it.
Mr. Purcell, I greatly appreciate your tutorial. You have great comments and beautiful techniques. i learned much from watching and painting with you on this tutorial. Thank you sir.

You are very welcome. I' so glad you found it useful. We have to share with each other or we lose it. Thanks for your comment.
I enjoyed watching your painting and your picture is absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much for your comment. I'm very gladd you found it helpful. Happy painting.
Beautiful. I’m a beginner and have noticed the masters don’t make a big fuss, they just get after it in a relaxed enjoyable way. One painter I watched grabbed some brushes saying “ I used these a while ago for an acrylic painting but that’s ok” then proceeded to plunk down a masterpiece. Thanks for the lesson, I need it:)
Thank you! 😊 You may not know what you are doing, but you have to act as if you do. I never know from the outset what the painting will look like, but I have a pretty good idea of how I would like to have it look. However, I have to let the painting dictate a lot.
I began painting with acrylics and have been selling some paintings but something was always missing. I realized now that it is your values lessons. So I read your book "your artists brain" and watched this video and others and im fascinated by everything im learning. It really was what was missing in planning my paintings. So thanks
I'll continue to watch.
I'm thrilled that you find this helpful. Sharing what we learn with others is the best thing we can leave behind. So thank you.
Your process amazes me. Thank you for sharing so that this beginner can gain some insight into what makes a painting great
Thank you, Sheryl. I'm glad you found it helpful. . Happy painting.
Thank you very much Carl. Really enjoyed watching you paint and great explanation too! I shall work more on my trees!
Aren't we lucky to be involved in something that forever pulls us toward greater expectations? Thank you Edo.
@@CarlPurcellArt We sure are!
Really like what you do and what you say. The camera setup with the inset of your palette is incredibly useful. I will be watching more of your channel. Thank you!
Thank YOU! I'm always glad to hear that someone found my efforts helpful. Welcome to my little corner of the art world.
I watch Carl's tutorials with pure pleasure and hang on his every word and brushstroke in awe. An amazing artist.
Wow! Thank you Jane. I will have to pay attention to what I say.
Thank you for posting this, i discovered your videos recently and I watch them with admiration.
When showing my drawings to my grandma she told me that she wanted to be a drawer when she was young, and I hope that through videos like yours I can improve my skills and share this passion with her.

I am very pleased to have been of help to you as you learn to draw better. All my best wishes for you.

Hey Carl, where have you been hiding? Just found you. Love the way you explain your thinking about the various passages as you progress through the painting. Subscribed immediately. Thankyou.

Glad you enjoyed it! Can you believe I am still doing both of those workshops?
Carl, you are a great teacher. I love your style and all you have to share. Just a comment that would be helpful to me is to include the subject photo so we can have that to look at while we follow along. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for the tip! I will remember that for the future. And thanks for the nice comments. Carl

Magnifico trabajo. Enhorabuena

Beautiful demo work sir 👌❤️
Thank you! Cheers! I'm glad you like it.
depends on the tree - branching patterns vary from one species to another for example: Excurrent: the main trunk goes the entire height of the tree, with branches forming patterns; eg. Evergreens.
Decurrant: The main trunk continues up about halfway, then splits into more than one main branch; eg. fruit trees.
Columnar: The main trunk continues the full height of the tree, with the branches forming only at the top; eg. Palm Trees.
Thanks. It really pays to observe the branching pattern of each species. Taking out 4 or five motifs helps me to understand the individual pattern. Then I can create my own version.
V beautiful .
Thank you! Cheers!
Bellissimo lavoro. Grazie.
Grazie millione.
Great thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I find great meaning in sharing.
Wonderful painting Charles. Suggestion: would love to know the pigments you are using as you paint. That’s very helpful.
Thank you, I will. Quinacradone Sienna, New Gamboge Yellow, Ultramarine Blue. These are the main colors. There may be others in small amounts to adjust the color temperature..
Hello 👋 from Canada 🇨🇦
Hello 👋 And greetings from central Utah. Art brings people together.
I was looking at some of the tutorials you have for sale/rent. My biggest problem is the colors. I watch you doing this and so you adding blue into browns. Even the silo has 4 or 5 colors going on and trying to figure this out always trips me up when trying g to learn and follow along. Do you have any tutorials that cover this issue of mine?
Hi Lois, I am working on a beginner series that will explain how to mingle colors on the paper. However, until that is finished try this: Tilt your painting board at about a 20 degree angle. Bring a brush full of water to your palette, then add some color to this (Ultramarine blue perhaps). Load your brush from this puddle (don't get rid of any of the water), and lay a horizontal stroke on your paper. Notice that the water and pigment flow to the lowest edge of the stroke.. Add another stroke just touching the previous one. Now rinse your brush and load it with a Water + Sienna puddle. Water is the key here, not pigment. ;Place a stroke along the bottom edge of the previous stroke, rinse the brush and quickly add a stroke of water, once again only touching the bottom edge of the previous stroke. If you add a couple more strokes of water (just touching the previous bead of water, you will see the pigment and water flowing together, and both colors mixing on the paper without the aid of the brush.
Thank for the response. I think I understand how to get the colors to mingle. I think my question is how you choose what colors you are using
@@louisklein9207 I don't have any system. I simply think Warm color then Cool color.
So is it something in the photo that you are seeing telli g you to use a warm then cool color or is it a matter is design preference you like to use? Either way I’d like to learn more about that. Color isn’t very intuitive for me
@@louisklein9207 Color is more arbitrary for me. I think in terms fo value pattern, and color is the emotional element. I just have a rule for myself, "Carl, when you go back to the palette for more color, change the color. Either get a new color or change the one in the brush. Maintain the same value, but change the color."
Sir ! What's brushes this ?
I begin with a 1 inch flat series 7010 and do the detail work with a King Art pointed round, series 8020
