Paint-Along Video, Pacific Grove

Hi friends, warmest greetings of the season to you. As a holiday gift from us, here’s a paint-along video shot along the rocky California coast. If you look closely, you can see some sea otters doing their thing just out past the surf line.

Paint-Along Video, Big Sur Coast

Please enjoy this wintry scene along the sunny Big Sur coast. California Condors can be found along uninhabited parts of the shoreline and the Ventana Wilderness nearby. You can experience a plein air paint out from the comfort of your own studio, without the freezing cold wind! Stay safe and warm this holiday season.

Paint-Along Video, Monastery Beach

Hi friends! Please join us for a paint-along on the lovely California coast. This video was shot at Monastery Beach, one of our favorite places. This beach has a steep gradient and very large sand grains, so it always has interesting wave patterns and clear water. If you enjoy this please subscribe to our YouTube channel for more paint-alongs (coming soon!) and tutorial videos. We wish you a lovely holiday season and a creative New Year!

If you look closely in this video at the end screen you can see Linda’s watercolors, made using our pigments and stored in our palette boxes and watercolor pans. We also have a selection of brushes and other supplies you need to make your own paints with almost any media.

“Look! Otters!”
