St. Augustine Wildlife Sanctuary Paintout - First Coast Plein Air Painters & Gary Garrett painting - NATIONAL PLEIN AIR PAINTOUT 2008

Please click "WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY"

Our FCPAP paintout in association with the International Paintout, September 6, 2008 at the beautiful St. Augustine Road Fish & Wildlife Sanctuary in Jacksonville Florida. This documentary shows the work of several of our FCPAP artists as well as the time lapse of my 22"x28" acrylic painting. Several of us painted under the pavilion there, which proved a cool, shady spot... very nice. Lots of great wildlife, turtles, ducks, herons, egrits, wood storks, alligators to name a few. This is a GREAT association to paint with.

The music is from Blank & Jones Relaxation III CD, "Captain of Her Heart" which can be purchased and downloaded at musicmp3.ru

Natural bird songs and marshland sounds recorded at the sanctuary have also been added on the voiceover track

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING

Looks like fun! I remember 100 years ago painting outside at the Banff School of Fine Arts. I'd be busy watching all the wildlife and forget what I was painting! LOL

There were a number of monents there when I just had to stop painting and watch the graceful fight of an egrit or heron, which gave me the confidence to paint one in my plein air painting... we even saw a few gators there. a beautiful day, nice place to paint! THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Thanks. I like your "Beached Whaler" videos... REALLY GREAT things there!

This was a great day to paint, and with such a fine group of artists and such an abundance of wildlife. Thanks for watching

Gary you're lucky this is a wonderful day with many other peoples with arts love in a beatyful natural ambient... but this is a contest ?? anyway i vote you with five stars ;)

[GaryGarrett]

Yes, it was a wonderful day with a lot of great painters to paint with. Not a contest, just us getting together on the same weekend as the national plein air paintout! We missed David, who arranged the paintout and could not be there.

Thanks Buck, FCPAP is a great association to paint with... but the great scenery there made it easy!

Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.

Hi, There were so many egrits, herons and woodstorks there that it was not hard to transpose them into the scene, although I don't think the woodstork in my painting is all that great. On the tape, I like the 3M blue professional tape, however, on canvas it will allow seepage under it if the color is watery, but you can reapply gesso to remove those areas. Thanks for watching.
