Follow along on my plein air painting adventures around my new home in the southern Appalachian mountains of East Tennessee.
The Grand Canyon: My Plein Air Painting Experience
I recently spent a week visiting the Grand Canyon and doing some painting. The trip's primary intention was to take my mom the see the canyon and some other sights. So, my painting had to be quick and squeezed into the itinerary when I could. Along with myself and my mom, we were joined by my two sisters and brother.

A beautiful day was had while painting on the North River, a tributary of the Tellico River in East Tennessee. In this video I take you for a ride into my local mountains, dive into my gear, and give you a complete video of my painting process on this painting. My website: www.toddderr.com/
Breaking Wave Plein Air Painting

The day started with some pretty strong winds and rain on Nokomis Beach and I decided to wait it out and paint later that afternoon. It was a peaceful session with just the sound of the waves and a few people searching for shells. My website: www.toddderr.com/ My Instagram: toddderrartist

A Visit To My Studio

Southeast Tennessee, like much of the nation, has had a brutal Arctic Blast this week and I decided rather than freeze outside I'd spend some time in my studio working on a long ignored painting.

Good time memories! The Jack Johnson tune was a perfect choice! ♥
Seeing faces within the rocks-
Always amazes me the American landscape, spectacular! hope to see the Grand Canyon one day. Your paintings turned out Beautiful, you caught the light perfect in them.
Thank you, Zoe! I hope you can see it someday too.
Enjoyed this painting, would like to see your pallet so I can see you mixing the colors.
Thank you for watching and leaving me some feedback. I would like to have that ability soon. I travel light and just need to add more equipment to be able to do that. 👍
Nice job Todd. I see an Open Box M being used, and I know the guy or gal knows their stuff for plein air painting. Yes, there are a lot of folks/artists on you tube, but it is nice just to see someone paint, particularly, alone with the scene. Then it's just you and nature, and all it has to offer those of us who are fortunate enough to be landscape painters. That, until they pry the brush from our cold dead hands!! LOL ;D. We are doing similar stuff lately; me with shadows of big trees inside a big wash down here in AZ. Nice to have the shade of the tree too, as it approaches 100 degrees (F), eh !. That's why I try to start a "zero dark hundred" on my way to a local state park (Catalina) and be done by 9 AM. Cheers from beautiful, and Highly Paintable, southern AZ (Oro Valley). : )
Cheers, Ron! I was just at the Grand Canyon a couple of weeks ago. My first time and I’m awestruck. Gotta make it back sometime. Stay cool… 😁 perhaps that’s a double meaning.
@@ToddDerrartist Yup, more studio/garage time now, this summer; but it's pretty hot in there too!! :D
@@ToddDerrartist And Todd when you return to AZ, check out the Sedona area, you'll be amazed. Also, it's fairly "accessible" to get around to paint. Lots of jeep and hiking trails. : )
You got some of the best video of the canyon I've seen. Never been there but have been to the Badlands and Wyoming , which have very different light than KY. and Tennessee. Amazing places! Your paintings captured the colors so well! As others have already said, thank you.
You are welcome and thank you for continuing to watch my videos and commenting. It’s much appreciated.
Thanks Todd for all of it. Agree North Rim is even more awesome. Glad you and your family got to see it.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you, too.
You captured the beauty so wonderfully. Enjoyed this very much
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching and commenting.
Beautiful! Especially loved your narration explaining your process. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate your view and comment.
Hello Todd, just subscribed. I have been to the Grand Canyon, 40 years ago. I was impressed then, and your painting brought back some very fond memories. My wife and daughter and I had travelled from Australia to visit wife’s sister and the treat was to car trip from Vancouver to California. Beautiful scenery wherever you looked but the Grand Canyon took your breath away. I took to your speak and I very much appreciated what you said beside the painting which I thought was a task but small frames contained the effort. I shudder at the thought of taking on a large frame. Anyway, I enjoyed the video, I enjoyed the painting. Thank you.
Thank you for your visit to my channel and loved hearing from you.
Very cool! Such a special place! ♥
It has certainly captured my attention. Thanks, brother!!
Special powerful place. ♥
It has totally blown me away!
hello? Your outdoor landscape paintings are very attractive. I am very happy to have come across this video. I'm looking forward to the next video.
Thank you very much!
Thank you! I enjoy watching you paint. The blocking in i couldn't see how you would proceed...but your detailing is beautiful. Wish i could paint like you do.
Thank you, Margaret!
Good one Todd, showing "plenty of beauty" to be seen on the beach, not just nature's,... well, I guess they are too! ;D Nothing like the feeling of being there, often tough going to paint, but a bad painting session is still a good experience just being there, the fresh air, the smells, the sounds, Everything. Like the "veteran" Open Box M, and nothing says "Rookie" like a "pristine" clean plein air set-up, eh? And their paintings, shown here on You Tube, usually "cannot suck enough" either. LOL ;D Cheers from beautiful AZ, by way of CA, where I had many good times painting on the beach, years ago, in particular in San Mateo County, just south of SF, where you can drive right up to the beaches, and park, and paint. And it used to be free too, in early 2000's. :)
Thanks, Ron! Cool to hear from you and your experiences.
Good one, Todd; yes, pack light! Open Box M is the best! Hard to sense the "scale", in painting, so, put a dipper (bird) on one of the rocks to solve that! LOL. Google it! ;D Cheers from Southern AZ.
Thank you, Ron! As you can probably tell, mine has seen many brush miles over the years. I have some others that I use too. Just depends on what I'm doing. I appreciate the feedback.
Can’t see .and you didnt show the painting..pointless.
Me again, getting the Winslow Homer vibe again. Nice sculptural approach. Portrait of a Wave!
I’ll take that. 😁 Thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Color pallette caught my eye right off the bat!
I live 3 miles from where John Muir was born in Dunbar, Scotland before he emigrated with his family to America. He has always been a big fan of mine. One of his famous quotes being "There is no repose like that of the green deep woods" and I can totally relate to that. His childhood county of East Lothian is full of beauty and as a result I've started painting which gives me so much pleasure as I can see it does for you too!
That is so awesome!! I’m so glad to hear from you and thank you for sharing that. Happy painting!!!
I've been using Art treehouse bio thinner for a while. It's safe indoors, does its job well and starts to stink eventually just like mineral spirits does after a few brush washings. I vastly prefer it to mineral spirits.
Thanks, good the hear.
Your painting of the river is excellent. I lived there in Green Cove on the Tellico River although I left there about eight years ago . I’m a watercolor artist and that area is a painters dream.
Hi Barbra! Very cool to hear that you recognize the place and have lived there. I dream of a cabin in Green Cove or thereabouts. 😁 I live just outside of Cleveland, TN. So, close to a lot of beautiful places to paint, for sure.
Excellent as usual!
Thanks, brother!!
That was a thoroughly enjoyable plein air painting session for me. Loved your painting results! Please do more painting videos…you are great at it! I am a plein air watercolor painter and still learn from your painting process. Thank you for sharing.😊
Hi Nancy, I really appreciate that you got something from my video, even if it isn't watercolor...which I find a very difficult medium. So kudos to you for painting en plein air with it. I don't have any intention of stopping to produce videos. I just have other priorities and try to put one out as often as I possibly can. So stay tuned. Especially at the end of this month after my trip to the Grand Canyon.
My family is from Murphy! Love the painting!
Cool, Murphy is a sweet little town. We enjoy antique shopping there. Thanks for watching!
great video and great painting. I am new to oils. Miced media artist for the most part but as I am getting older I rying new things. l Loved seeing the process. It is very helpful. Thank you and yes do more plein air demos.
Hi Paula, thank you for checking out my video. I plan to continue making more plein air videos in the future. I appreciate the feedback, as it helps me understand what I need to do to make better videos.
Where is the composition?
Hi, David. I’m not sure I understand your question. Are you asking about the physical location or the compositional element of the painting? Location is along the North River near Tellico Plains, TN. With the painting, I’m using a triangular composition more or less. Thank you for the question and the view.
Nice job!! Liked how you created a more dramatic composition than the actual scene by exaggerating the proportions of the rocks.
Thanks, Rick. I appreciate the feedback.
I didn't know about the John Muir National Recreation Trail in Tennessee. I lived in Tennessee when little...my family settle there generations ago. I also lived by Muir Woods in Marin County, California for years. I have been painting and hiking, both, all my life. All the things that make me feel connected in your video. Thank you.
Very cool! Thanks for leaving a comment and watching my video.
Hi love your work, how do you store your wet painting.
Hi Robert! I use wet panel carriers of various sizes from Prolific Painter. They are basically a frame with two inward facing rabbets that allow the panels to face each other with a air gap. Secured with a couple of velcro straps. If you are handy with woodworking tools you could make your own.
@@ToddDerrartist thanks Todd for your reply I will check them out.
@@ToddDerrartist Yes, I still have a bunch I made, in many sizes, from the "olden days", when I first started "plein air" painting, mid-1990's, when the "fad" first began, once again, in "modern" times!! ;D. On some, I paneled the sides with a painting, on canvas, glued on mahogany door skins; they are very "eye catching"!! LOL :D. But I use Ray Mars now, very light, and come in many sizes, but for painting panels only, not stretched canvases; one can google them!
Loved this, beautiful colours and the sound of the waves are perfect! thank you!
Thanks watching and I appreciate the feedback.
Je suis amateur en peinture et je cherche des conseils pour peindre en plein air.
Merci Bernard. J'apprécie que vous regardiez et si vous en tirez quelque chose, j'en suis heureux.
Unfortunately from what I can find Open Box M is no longer in business.
It appears that is so. Mine is over 10 years old and has seen extensive use. Too bad they aren’t around anymore.
@@ToddDerrartist Yes, I'm glad I have all of mine, (2) 9x12, (1) 11x14 like you used and (1) 8x10, very nice for smallest panels, and even the "thumb box", very cute, but I rarely use it. Got mine, late 90's, after attending a few PAPA workshops and talked to the artists, they swore by them. The stuff out to today is mostly unusable, at least for me, with magnets and other tricky stuff, also some made of tin!! Yuck!! LOL. I like my handcrafted wood and brass Open Box M's. Could probably sell them for big bucks now I guess, but never would!
Wonderful simplicity and elemental power. Reminds me of those same qualities in Winslow Homer and the English watercolorist John Sell Cotman. Bravo and thank you!
Thank you! I’m a fan of both and appreciate the compliment.
Nice
Thank you. I appreciate you tuning in.
Thanks for sharing your minimal palette process. Great painting and a wonderful, peaceful place to paint . Did you get that plant based solvent on Amazon ?
Hi Justin! I purchased it on the Art Treehouse website. I don’t know if links work in these comments, but try this. arttreehouse.com/artstore/product-category/mediums/
♥
Thank you, brother!
Nailed it! Hope you do more painting for us. Also loved the scenery and sounds of the river. Thank you.
Thank you, Dana. I will be continuing to paint and make videos. Stay tuned, at the end of May I'm visiting the Grand Canyon.
Hard to -see this tiny painting, great spot.
Do you have a website where people can buy your paintings? I love them.
Thank you! I do have a website: www.toddderr.com/
♥
Thank ya, brother!
That is great
Thank you, Syl!
Your colors and values made that seaside painting beautiful!
Thanks, Sue!
Beautiful painting. "... as long as you don't go full Van Gogh." 😅 Thank you.
Thanks, Dana! 😂
Funny you mention that; I had a joker friend take some wad of paper towels and tape it to his ear (left, right, ?? can't remember) as we painted. He said, "That will keep the crowds away", ...and it did. LOL. Try that Todd and let us know if it works for you too. :D
We live in Phoenix, AZ. so I paint in the Spring and early Summer because I do not like the cold. Loved your video.
Thank you! I'm getting to where I don't like the cold too much either. Particularly after having just gotten home from Florida. 😀 Happy painting!!
Makes me homesick. Born in Athens, TN. ❤
Thanks for watching! I'm just down the road in Cleveland. I grew up in Southern Indiana and lived around other parts of the country. Been here for almost 5 years and it's a great area.
Wonderful work. I’m envious. Wish I was there.
Thank you! I wish I was still there. Back home in TN now. 😁
Cool! Y'all have fun and be safe! ♥
what a great video, I'm 6 minutes in, it really reminds me of the Huon river in Tasmania.
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment. Would love to visit that part of the world sometime.
