Great advice/demo on the varying drying times of different pigments on the pallet. I never thought - 1) to really notice the differences beyond thinking, "Oh, that one's dry." 2) to tell students about it, and so 3) I've watched people squeeze a LOT of paint out onto the pallet. So, thanks!

Great video! You made me laugh with your ‘lean operation’ comment - I hear ya, not easy to try to capture the scene, enjoy the process, take video, and comment on what you are doing! Thanks for doing it and sharing!

I think this is one of my favourite paintings. The colours in the rocks! Beautiful.

Thank you for posting this. Having recently discovered the world of plein air painting I am learning so much from your videos.

Love your simple approach to gear… just the basics.

Another cracking painting Michael. Sharing your talent is much appreciated by many.

A brutal day…hear the artist’s cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Seeks a more protected milieu With clouds, cliffs and rocks too Close up views - keeps a lean operation Sky shifts from ultra marine to cerulean Clouds of blue or maybe gray No crew - he’s not Beyoncé Apologies to Van Morrison More to enjoy at Patreon 😁 🌊 This was beautiful even at the sketch in.

Hey Michael. So laughing at your battle with the elements ! A daily Scottish plein air experience for me (although we've just had 3-in-a row blue sky days). Clouds and sky colours fascinate me too, only plein air can teach the true values I.m.o ! A Cloud A Day by Gavin Pretor-Pinney worth a read, enlightening studies of clouds.

I think painting black is one of the biggest challenges I come across. Your solution of using Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna creates a great result for those dark areas in a brightly lit scene. I have taken to using Ultramarine and Burnt Umber. It creates quite a true black, but I can vary the temperature of it depending on how much of each i use, and surprisingly it remains quite colourful in the context of my compositions. It's a beautiful piece, Michael. I am really drawn to the distant mountains, and I agree with the challenge of keeping the clouds airy. It's a real puzzler sometimes. I've had more than my share of frustration with them. But when you get it right, it's magnificent! Thanks for the video.

At 0:40 do you cover your paints in the box? I know covering the paints with clear plastic making sure no airflow can get in while stagnant keeps paints fresh...don't dry up...thanks for your time....my box is same concept as yours....the paints last...again with careful covering not letting any airflow to paints...

Have you tried filming an area where interests you ....then take footage play on big screen in studio and paint....good idea when the elements outside are difficult for the painter....for multiple reasons... Also, while filming- take close ups of the area of intrest....plein air painting in studio.... 1:51 a good example of why filming the overall area of intrest for a painting and taking it back to studio playing it on screen ....having close ups of intrest...elements and such... Not moving camera all around- having it focused on the one area for like 30 mins ...or however... Again- here you have plein air painting in your studio....without the elements....
