My heart sank when I saw Ariah's 'abstract'....I think he needs an andersen easel! But what a fabulous recovery. Both paintings have the energy of smaller previous ones-I'm so impressed that you both can complete that size in just a few hours with such beautiful results.

Dude you already know I’m a huge fan of not only your paintings but the way you go about your videos and how you live a waterman’s life, but I gotta give some major props to Ariah, the amount I’ve watched his skillsets level up to what it is today has been awesome to watch. You guys rock and I love the energy when you both work together. Good vibes.

Really impressed with Ariah's save! Well done!

Just discovered your demo's on KZfaq, and I am really enjoying them - thank you!

Both paintings came out amazing! Love the different interpretation of the same scene!

Your friends work I have watched really improved really has launched. Yours is beautiful work

I needed a painting meditation, right on time

I am amazed that you guys can start and finish such a lovely large painting in a few hours. No time to get previous! Thank you for bringing us along! 🙏🎨

The birdies sound so pretty

Two wonderful paintings! I like seeing different looks .

Thanks guys for another adventure in plein air never a dull moment with you two. I feel Ariah's misfortune made him loosen his painting up in a good way, nice save.

Such a good one, Michael! Thank you. I think my favorite part was watching Ariah recover like he did - wow! I'm a complete novice, and had that happen in my first workshop. I'm so glad that happens to the best, and that all is not lost! One question if you could? Can you give me 3-4 plein air artist that you admire, just to steer me toward more inspiration? Thanks!

Awesome recovery by Ariah. A lesson in never give up!

Two lovely pantings that captured a gorgeous scene. Thank you!

First of all you guys appear to have a wonderful relaxed working relationship so it is very easy to watch and view the results. (Great recovery by Aria). Once again both paintings are wonderful- well done. What a blessing to be in that part of the country with such an abundance of natural beauty - keep it coming 😀 and thank you!

Oh dear Ariah !!! Good recovery…. You nailed the river. Great work both of you 🙏🇿🇦🎨

I just hated to see Ariah’s easel go down!! It’s happened to me before!! That Anderson is not going down!! You guys are talented I have enjoyed and learned from these videos. Thank You

Nice painting Michael! Nice recovery, Ariah! So, sorry that happened to you, but you ended up with a beautiful painting in the end! Love the tones you used as well! Keep painting together, guys. I love seeing your different interpretations of the same view. I'm so envious of your talents!

Absolutely love it, please don’t change the white water, it accentuates the focal point

I live in Central Otago in NZ. I think you would love the colors and nature we have here. Thanks for the video. You make me see how I can paint... and actually be happy with my work😊❤

Very exciting to watch

I love seeing your finished painting, but it'd be nice to Ariah's as well

Love the difference between you two. I wish I had a friend I could go paint with. Looks like fun!

Your way of painting concentrating on a composition, either adding or eliminating some part in order to improve the composition, underworking the painting to promote the punch and energy has been inspirational. Also your use of colours is very interesting. Also, your care in avoiding an autopilot effect is very good. Personally however, I have to „ defend“ myself from the impact of your work on my work in order not to lose my own personality which is me and not you. Thank you for your inspirational work

They both turned out really well. 🎉

Amazing! Both of you!

Very fun, painting in nature, greetings from Indonesia 👍👍👍

Looks like Ariah just got inducted as a "true plein air artist", with his first merit badge painting. Why is it that either the painting or the palette with pigments or both always seem to land on the ground, "jam side down". That is a real time initiation of a seasoned outdoor painter. And it happens to almost everyone painting outside on windy days with a 24" x 30" huge canvas sail! Great video and great paintings? They both are very "painterly".

Two legs at the back of the easel instead of one is a no no. Inviting the easel to be blown over. Always a risk with the larger canvas. All part of the fun and experience. Well recovered, nice job. 👍

Looks nice and warm there

Watch several times,both are great.i paint like M,and want to paint like you.

Nice one!

Very nice paintings

beautiful

Good job

Absolutely beautiful! I love the water ripples that you are thinking of changing...just my opinion. It does look freeing to paint on a large canvas. What type of canvas do you use, it is a finer weave? Such a shame on Ariah's painting, I can imagine how frustrating that would have been. :( another great Vlog!

🎉

Good morning Michael : )

Please let Ariah know that I sent him an instagram message about a modification I did to my Russian easel to be able to hang something heavy from the bottom of the easel to prevent a blow over, Cheers, Jesse

24x30 is my fav plein air size. You guys are doing nice fresh-looking pics and in a fairly tight time frame. Good to do your shadows first as the light will move and get away from you. I see your patreon page so I will ask here is there a site with pics and prices?

Both paintings are yummy

America always seems to have such good weather for plein airs, in london or Dublin it’s always raining 😔

At what time do you start painting??is it morning or afternoon..

J aime ❤❤❤❤🇨🇵
