TRANQUIL PLEIN AIR Oil Painting || Journey down an Australian River | Painting, camping, happy days

Today I'll be painting right on the edge of an Australian inland river. My subject will be the beautiful River Red Gums that line many of Australia's river systems. The River Gum can grow right down on the waters edge, making it a fantastic subject for painting tranquil water reflections. I will be using thick impasto oil paint and palette knifes, working direct from the subject (en plein air) with a large stretched, clear primed Belgian linen canvas. Sit back and enjoy the process, while I create and explain my thoughts on technique, colour mixing, tonal values and composition as I go! instagram -  / richard_musgrave_evans   VIEW MY PAINTINGS: https://richardmusgraveevans.com.au/ ARTSTORE ONLINE: I paint with 500ml and one litre tins of Art Spectrum paint.
