Slowly getting there. Few moments of disparity but I think I'm on the home straight. #wip • • • • • #oilpainters #plein_air_forum #pleinairpainter #painterslife #painterstouch #paintersofinstagram #paintersgonnapaint #fineart #finearts #fineartist #paintings #oilpainting #painter #art #artdaily #dailyart #artforsale #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #artwork #artgallery #instaart #contemporaryart #artwatchers #artfair #oilpainters #jamesmurch #landscapepainter

Ever regret selling a painting?... I love that people want to buy my work and to be truthful, it's a great motivator. But I do miss them sometimes. 'Bather at Seaton Hole' Oil on panel, near my favourite rocks, from 2014. Sold a couple of years ago. • • • • • #painters #painterslife #plein_air_forum #painterstouch #paintersofinstagram #paintersgonnapaint #fineart #finearts #fineartist #paintings #oilpainting #painter #art #artdaily #dailyart #artforsale #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #artwork # #artgallery #harbour #onlineartsales #contemporaryart #artwatchers #artfair #oilpainters #seascape #babbacombe #jamesmurch #seascapepainting #landscapepainter

Bit of a change working with some oil pastels. These guys were heading for the river near Newbridge on my way to paint -the Plein air piece I am currently making into a larger studio version. Anyway, I had to get some shots of them, which nearly involved falling in the river myself. • • • • • #wildlifeart #oilpastel #pleinair #plein_air_life #plein_air_forum #jamesmurch #instaartist #painterslife #wip #toads #riverdart

Final underpainting layer of unifying glaze cobalt and vine black #michaelharding oils. Further pushing the darks and simultaneous warming of the imprematura and highlights through contrast. Dead colouring is next. Plein air piece seen in the pic used as inspiration throughout. • • • • #oilpainters #plein_air_forum #pleinairpainter #painterslife #painterstouch #paintersofinstagram #paintersgonnapaint #fineart #finearts #fineartist #paintings #oilpainting #painter #art #artdaily #dailyart #artforsale #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #artwork #artgallery #instaart #contemporaryart #artwatchers #artfair #oilpainters #jamesmurch #landscapepainter

#WIP vine charcoal layer to build up the darks. Trying not to obsess over drawing, still just setting up the darks or Notan arrangement at this stage. • • • • • #oilpainters #plein_air_forum #pleinairpainter #painterslife #painterstouch #paintersofinstagram #paintersgonnapaint #fineart #finearts #fineartist #paintings #oilpainting #painter #art #artdaily #dailyart #artforsale #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #artwork #artgallery #instaart #contemporaryart #artwatchers #artfair #oilpainters #jamesmurch #landscapepainter

#colourtheory Colour Lesson 2 uniform Chroma #2. More steps of natural, realistic colour from light pinkish red to a dark maroon but keeping a strong sense of colour (Chroma) even though we are degrading the red with white and black mixes. #videotutorial • • • • • #oilpainters #plein_air_forum #pleinairpainter #painterslife #painterstouch #paintersofinstagram #paintersgonnapaint #fineart #finearts #fineartist #paintings #oilpainting #painter #art #artdaily #dailyart #artforsale #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #artwork #artgallery #instaart #contemporaryart #artwatchers #artfair #oilpainters #jamesmurch #landscapepainter
