West Hawaii Plein Air Painters:

YouTube Painting Demonstrations

That symbol means  
CAUTION - EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL TO FOLLOW : 
and this time it's painting demonstrations on YOU TUBE.  And everyone that has a camera is here (including yours truly) with their "fool proof, easy, gonna change your life" methods in water colors, oils, acrylics, pastels, and stuff you've never heard of - here are some of the good guys:

Richard Robinson  
One of my favorites, stylistically and tempermentally - easy to understand and listen to and dedicated to the fine points of plein air and quick fresh studio work as well.  He also has a newsletter service and some "private" free lessons that you can participate in as well as a free e-book that i'll give you the address for later.
Richard's main YouTube channel - you can access most of his  teaching videos from here - there's also a link to his website, which i reccommend:

Here's the link to the Hawaii e-book - it's free - download it and think about doing one of yourown:

Paul Taggard
I love this guy and admire his perserverance and doggedness and hate his perserverence and doggedness!! And/but he explains things clearly and over and over again so that you can't help but eventually "get it".  His instruction videos are "all media" so just take your choice and settle in for a real "journey".
Paul's channel:

there's a link here to his website as well, but there's more than enough choices at this location to keep busy for a long time.

I've watched a lot of these videos and will try to add to this list in the future - if you've got some of your own favorites, let me know.

Plein Air Painting Locations - Kona Coast

PLEIN AIR PAINTERS

---

I have a workable web site with photographs of the West Hawaii Plein Air Painters favorite painting sites on the Kona Coast as well as connections to Google maps for each.

Please visit at:

If you find any missing links or problems let me know.  This is a work in progress and I’ll be adding more photographs and more sites from all parts of the island – so if you’re from anywhere else then here, I hope this will be some value in picking a painting site and getting there.  I’ll also be adding some of my paintings to the site specific albums – might be fun.

Aloha nui loa,
