Painting Video: Mountain Farm

Here's a little experiment / practice in making a sped up painting video. I didn't know what I was doing with making a video but I think I figured some things out for the next one. I shot it with my digital camera which has a video setting. For the next one I'll shoot a painting from start to finish.
Thanks for taking a look!

I was very interested in painting this Tree Branch covered in snow. Studying this subject I found that there's so much color bouncing around. Reflective light bouncing from the light off the ground. Greens reflecting from underneath the branches above. Blues from the sky. There's so much you don't always stop and take note of.

Plein Air


Got up this morning to find out that the mountains had received a lot of snow. So I headed out towards Monarch mountain. My goal was to find some nice snow covered pine trees to paint. Walking out into the woods I found this back light tree branch that I found interesting.

As the sun was coming out the snow on the trees started to melt. Of course, I should have known, a glob of snow fell from a tree above and landed on the palette with a big piece landing directly in my turp jar. Well I guess that's plein air painting. I pulled that snow piece out of my jar, moved the easel, and finished the painting.






Took a photo of where I set up. That's the branch I painted in the middle.

This painting was done with about 99% palette knife. I wanted to play with the palette knife and experiment with color in this piece.

The sky was like it was on fire that night and I just had to make a painting of it. It truly is God's Country in the mountains of Colorado.
