LOL....my coffee just spilled-over. This video is an awesome feat. What artist are bring to the line today. You, Andrew Barrowman have captured what so many will not or can not explain. Thank you for sharing this one with us.

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your support. It was great fun and the coffee afterwards was very well received

"Something like that" Time to now hit it with some scratchy palette knife perhaps? Missed seeing Basil but I guess too near a busy road and a bit cold for him. Nice subject. 👍

Thank you so much - glad you enjoyed it. Too cold for Basil to be out all morning at his age

Painting in those freezing conditions is dedication to your craft man. Very nice painting, you captured the scene perfectly

You’re a very resilient fellow Andrew. Most of us would have snapped a picture and (perhaps) added a brief pencil sketch and headed off for that coffee a lot earlier than you. Great effort and nice result! 😊

Lovely winter landscape of Carn Brea. A nice field of Cornish spring greens. Standing for that length of time in the cold while painting would have been a coffee well deserved . Enjoyed the previous video of Carn Brea. Nice work. Cheers 😊

It wasn't just the texture of the canvas that fought you but also the old painting underneath. But still it turned out nicely and the underlying texture made it almost look like a pastel👍

Another lovely painting and created under such extreme conditions....truly inspirational! Thank you for sharing and hope the coffee was nice and hot. My grand daughter and I went plein air painting this morning.....first time for her....her easel broke and mine fell over breaking part of my pochade box!! Cant blame the weather as it is Summer here, and everything is glued together again so we may try again tomorrow 😊 We both felt more enthusiastic again after watching your video. Thanks again, Jan .

Just in from taking a church service and enjoyed the post with a mug of hot tea. You are a brave man and I hope you avoid frostbite or chilblains! A very instructive post about the red to use you medium to give paints fluidity in cold weather. Also interested to hear your reaction to painting on canvas as opposed to a board. On the Mastering Composition course we used the cheaper cotton covered boards for the studies and were encouraged to apply two or three coats of lesson primmer to fill in the 'potholes' (they re everywhere these days!!) of the canvas weave. This reduced the appearance of specks of light which ruined photographs of any work you had done. You painting captured there day beautifully, the clarity of the air, the shafts of sunlight and the subtle colours of winter. Recent grey and stormy weather and short days depress everyone BUT there are incandescent winter days where the low sun and winter palette come into their own. I would not miss these days for the world!

Thank you so much Ian. We can appreciate the beautiful clear sunny days more when we’ve had lots of grey skies. All the best

A great effort Andrew, I'm far too fond of heat to try that at this time of year. You made a beautiful painting so quickly on an old canvas, bravo!

Hi Andrew. Late in life and with more time, I have picked up a brush. I came across your channel recently and subscribed. I'm slowly going through your library of work and admire your dedication in some challenging conditions. I also enjoy what you do in the studio and especially like what you do with charcoal. Now then, I've just watched the latest episode of Landscape Artist of the Year. Did I see you in the opening credits in a small harbour? Are you competing in an upcoming episode? If so, did you win? I won't tell anyone, promise. 🤫 Atb, Paul

Hi Paul thank you for your kind comments. Glad you are enjoying the videos - I currently have some charcoal work in the Pastel Society exhibition in London. My LAOTY heat will air on Sky Arts this Wednesday 31st January - hope you enjoy it All the best Andrew

Great painting Andrew won from a reused canvas and freezing conditions, very inspirational. Did you prep the suface of the old painting before using it again? I've had trouble mixing my oil paint inthis very cold weather is more medium the answer or is it time for a coffee?😀

@AndrewBarrowmanArt

6 ай бұрын

Thank you Anita - I think the medium definitely helps (but not too much). I did add some clean linseed oil on the old painting surface to prep it (oiling out)

The charcoal drawing on the Landscape artist of the year what was the surface you used?

Andrew, I'm as mean an old git as you could find if you sent out a search party, but - get yourself some new canvases, lad, for goodness' sake - it's murder trying to reckon with the colours and marks of an old painting, and you'll be lucky if it doesn't crack on you a bit further down the line. Tsk and tush, I say! Mind you, if anyone can do it, you can: but I still think you need to flex the credit card in the direction of an art materials supplier.
