Aoraki/ Mount Cook EN PLEIN AIR - What an incredible spot to admire one of @purenewzealand most iconic mountains. Too good not to paint with the @newwaveart Ugo . #mountains #adventurepleinair @pleinairmag @plein_air_life #artistoninstagram #painting #newzealand #mountain cook. Aoraki / Mount Cook - About a month ago I went painting with the legend that is @waynevickersartist down by the Tasman River. What a spot to enjoy the tussock grass, braided rivers and South Island Mountain Views. It was awesome to give a limited palette ago with a few recommendations from Wayne whilst trying out the Ugo pochade box. Thanks @kellyfossart for the suggestion, what an awesome box for sure. I will definitely be taking it up into the mountains again for sure! @pleinairmag @plein_air_life @purenewzealand @mountcooknz #painting #pleinairpainting #pleinairartist #sennelier #winsorandnewton Under Brewster Glacier En Plein Air short clip. It was an incredible experience to get up close and under Brewster Glacier with safe guidance from @lewis.adventurefuel Always on the look out for that next composition and en plein air spot. En plein air light mode! For me experience and adventure in the landscape is integral to understanding the subject.  Thanks @lewis.adventurefuel for capturing this shot and sharing this secret spot, too good to share?;) @mountcooknz @mountcooknz @purenewzealand mountcooknz @heliworks @pleinairmag @plein_air_life @winsorandnewtonnz @mountcooknz @thehermitagehotel #painting #artistsoninstagram #sennelier Brewster Glacier En Plein Air short clip. It was an incredible experience to get up close to Brewster Glacier, one of Newzealands many glaciers which is retreating year after year. It was awesome to spend time adventuring and learning about the the physical natures of a glacier inside and out through the process of on site oil painting with Brewster Glacier En Plein Air. What a unique and beautiful location, those blues!!!. It was awesome to spend time adventuring with @lewis.adventurefuel A painting to scale up for sure! Back in 2020 I had the privilege to fly over Brewster as part of the Snow-line survey which has taken place every year since 1976 pioneered by glaciologist Trevor Chinn. The experience entailed flying and circling a series of glaciers throughout Fiordland #destinationfiordland Mount Cook @mountcooknz and a further up the west coast to see how the conditions of the glaciers had changed from the previous year due to increasing sea temperatures in which a series of glaciologists used infrared video/ photography 3D modelling and other forms of recording to estimate changes to the Snow line at the end of the summer. But also how the behaviours and overall volume had changed. #pleinairpainting #pleinairmag @allaprimapochade @pleinairmag @plein_air_life #mountcook #glaicers @purenewzealand #trysomethingnewnz @nzherald  #southislandnz #southernalps #adventurepleinair #enpleinairpainting #mountains #newzealand #oilpaint #oil #instagram #pleinairpainting #pleinairmag  #pleinairpainter #workshopfrance #artistsoninstagram #winsorandnewton #sennelier #purenewzealand #purenewzealand @purenewzealand Cascade Peak Image Still - Milford Sound Fiordland En Plein One of the more challenging on location painting missions here in the South Island Newzealand I have ever done, navigating dense bush using mainly GPS and route finding skills to keep me on track. Despite river crossings and steep terrain and bluffs to negotiate, it was for sure rewarded with one of the best experiences to date with an incredible spot and view I’ve ever painted from. It was particularly awesome to get a new and less seen perspective on such an iconic scene of Milford Sound @purenewzealand ,especially with dancing clouds in the foreground to add a little drama to the sitting. The work produced danced between success and failure with  at times restricted visibility, developing winds, limited light hours and the thought at the back of my mind to get back safety which may take longer on the way back, especially with the encrouching mist. One for sure to take back to the studio to work on a larger series in the coming months. #pleinairmag #pleinairpainting #pleinairpainter @plein_air_life @pleinairmag #pleinairmag #pleinairmagazine @fiordland.nz .nz @sennelier1887 @place_to_paint @winsorandnewtonnz #winsorandnewton @allaprimapochade #allaprimapochade #newzealand #fiordland @fiordlandnationalparklodge @heliworksmtcook #enpleinair @drew.lorrey #artistsoninstagram @gordonharrisartsupplies #fiords #milfordsound Cascade Peak - Milford Sound Fiordland En Plein Air One Minute clip including Timelapse.

Probably one of the best on location painting spots in the South Island of New Zealand I’ve painted to date!. @purenewzealand. It was great to catch up with @milfordsoundlodge who hosted me prior and post adventure fuelled by the delights from the new restaurant menu!. #purenewzealand The hike required a little more navigational skills than normal, bush bashing, river crossings although definitely worth the view! I look forward to releasing the short adventure video with painting reveal! Thanks @freemanwhiteart I’ve been putting En plein Air t shirt to full use! @plein_air_life @pleinairmag #pleinairmag #artskillspace @allaprimapochade #painting #fiordland @docgovtnz @drew.lorrey I couldn’t agree more with Douglas Adams see below Last chance to see @hitchhikersguide Fiordland, “ a vast tract of mountainous terrain that occupies the south-west corner of South Island, New Zealand, is one of the most astounding pieces of land anywhere on God's earth, and one's first impulse, standing on a cliff top surveying it all, is simply to burst into spontaneous applause.
