Thought this would be a fun video to showcase some of the oil paintings I made on my last painting trip to Europe, and to share some insights/tip and tricks on painting en plein air!

Love your work. It's so nice to see traditional almost academic style of art these days.

thank you so much!

Thank you for the lessons! Okrasinski, I admire your composition (and taste in subject matter) very, very much. I really like the fact that you painted the people in these plein air painting as simple shadowy forms; that adds an inexplicably painterly feel and magnitude. Your videos are extremely helpful and completely inspiring. Have a good day, and thanks again!

@@patrickokraI went to have a look at it, Patrick you're a modern day master! I took the liberty of printing out a copy to hang in my studio for inspiration. I've had a dry spell for a few months with painting, but finding your channel has given me the push to get back into it.

I loved seeing your trip paintings. It’s so exciting to bring back a collection from a trip. I enjoyed the walk through and insight about light and texture. It was nostalgic for me too. I painted in Italy many years ago and it was wonderful.

Beautiful! When you leave the paintings on the table, the lighting is better. When you hold them up, there's a slight glare. We want to see every detail. ❤

Do you have any tips for choosing references and what to paint? I often get artists block because I get overwhelmed trying to find something to paint or draw. And I love your work!

@patrickokra 10 ай бұрын

Thanks! This might not be the answer you're looking for, but I'd recommend forgetting the idea of photo reference and going out and being inspired by the real world. But even then I know the feeling of having a hard time to find something to paint and draw... finding good compositions is a skill to be trained

The idea of canvas pad or loose canvas solves a storage problem while camping and painting. How long did it take to dry each one?

@patrickokra 6 ай бұрын

In the warmer months maybe 1-3 days. I use a fast drying titanium white (Michael Harding no3) also if you place your painting in the sun for some time, or are painting in the sun, that greatly speeds up the drying time too. In the meantime I have several slots in my panel carriers to dry multiple paintings

@kyststudio-epicartadventure 6 ай бұрын

That’s perfect. I can camp a week in each place. Thank you.

@johnk3137 3 ай бұрын

If you're painting with oil paint while traveling, how do you keep multiple paintings from smearing? I was told it can take days or weeks for oils to dry. I'm use to gouache and watercolors.

@patrickokra 3 ай бұрын

I have a video about that, but short answer- fast drying titanium white, panel carrier, oil paper, summer weather. Paintings usually dry between 1-3 days, can store up to 3 (or 6) when wet, after they dry I stack them up
