En Plein Air in the Air - Oil on Panel final sustained piece. Towards the latter half of the flight I thought I’d give a small panoramic ago, to my amazement I felt I had done an alright job considering the ridiculous situation, mid flight painting still II over the Southern Alps of New Zealand 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. I look forward to releasing a series of videos/ clips and time lapses about the experience of an Art and Science collaboration, findings and reflective content which will be consolidated in a larger video and write ups. #pleinairpainting #pleinairmag @allaprimapochade @pleinairmag @plein_air_life #mountcook #glaciers @purenewzealand #trysomethingnewnz @nzherald #southislandnz #southernalps #adventurepleinair #enpleinairpainting #mountains #newzealand #oilpaint #oil #instagram #pleinairpainting #pleinairmag @lakeohaulodge @milfordsoundlodge #pleinairpainter #workshopfrance #artistsoninstagram #winsorandnewton #sennelier En Plein Air in the Air - Oil on Panel, mid flight painting still over the Southern Alps of New Zealand as part of the Snow line Survey which has taken place every year since 1976 pioneered by glaciologist Trevor Chinn. It was an honour to be asked by @drew.lorrey @niwa_science to go along and try and capture the experience in a series of small studies whilst informing a series of further larger works.

After spending more time in the Alpine Estate I thought I’d create a small piece dedicated to the small and ever shrinking glacier with a deep Viridian glow to its terminal pool. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to grips with the ethereal colours and qualities of a glacier. You can watch the recreation of this piece in my highlights under the title Park Pass Glacier, I hope you enjoy watching as much as I did painting it! Wishing you all well. @pleinairmag #pleinairpainting #pleinairlife #allaprima #allaprimapochade #mountains #painting #newzealand #dosomethingnewnz #glaicers #ice @john_mitchell_fine_paintings Tewaewae Glacier, Aoraki/ Mount Cook National Park- Oil on Panel. Perfect conditions for the morning taking a closer look at the shapes and forms presented by a glacier. A little grind up to Sefton Bivouac presents you with a beautiful wall of ice evidently retreating with numerous avalanches over a period of 2 hours I was there en plein air. Check out my highlights under Glacier one for a video of the experience. @pleinairmag @plein_air_life @purenewzealand #dosomethingnewnz #dosomethingnewnewzealand #heliworks #artistsoninstagram #enpleinair #enpleinairpainting #mountcook #seftonbivvy #pleinairpainting #pleinairmagazine #pleinairmag @thehermitagehotel #hermitage Te Waewae Glacier en plein air action shot.@purenewzealand #dosomethingnewnz . After spending the last two weeks working on an Art and Science collaboration with Dr Andrew Lorrey and the Snowline survey here in Nz (video edit and works to be released soon) survey@niwa_science. It’s great to get back up the glaciers to take a closer look at those viridian’s, deep ultramarines, cobalt blues, emerald glow from a more informed and overall perspective. Many thanks @songmingjuan for capturing this shot, showing the impossible task of trying to capture a glacier! #enpleinairpainting #pleinairlife #pleinairmagazine #pleinairmag #allaprima #glacier #newzealand @heliworksmtcook @mountcooknz #painting #oilpainting #adventure Ben Ohau - Oil on Panel. An usually still and warm day looking towards Ben Ohau with Ohau lake in front on the Alps to Ocean trail @alps2ocean. I’m looking forward to getting back into the Mountains very soon with some interesting and fun perspectives to come. @pleinairmag @plein_air_life #pleinairpainting #pleinairmag #dosomethingnewnz @purenewzealand @lakeohaulodge #allaprima William Wood En Plein Air Talk Link in Bio ^^^^ or visit www.williamwoodartist.com Sketches from Aotearoa’ A New Zealand Adventure - Kia ora koutou It was a great pleasure to present a small (on location) plein air work to the Fiordland Department of Conservation from my project ‘Sketches From Aotearoa’ and be invited to produce a talk on painting in the wild, living in Milford @milfordsoundlodge /plein air workshop. I also thank the community ranger Crystal and Henrique @docgovtnz for there support in making it happen. It was great to spread the love for plein air painting @pleinairmag and being present in nature through the act of painting. Also a big thanks to @freemanwhiteart for contributing invaluable insight to what plein air painting is for himself as an established New Zealand Painting great. I also am very grateful to the New Zealand government @jacindaardern for keeping us internationals safe and allowing us to produce a talks with no restrictions in unprecedented times. If anyone wants to try something new @purenewzealand give us a shout and we can go painting on plein air. I’m just in the process of editing the talk and will release soon with reflective content. #purenewzealand #purenz @destinationfiordland #painting @milfordsoundlodge #sennelier1887 #winsorandnewton_nz #oilpainting #fiordland_national_park @niwa_science #niwa @arqlek French Ridge Hut Action shot 2020 - looking forward to getting back to these locations and a further in the coming months as we head to the end of summer. Trying to fit a scene onto a small panel is a huge challenge en plein air. Although it’s sometimes great to take a step back and be present within the dramatic landscapes in Newzealand with a paint brush in hand with the @allaprimapochade. Thanks to @inshargram for capturing this shot. @pleinairmag @plein_air_life @purenewzealand #pleinairmag #southislandnz #adventurepleinair #windorandnewton #jacksonart #mountaspiringnationalpark @docgovtnz @niwa_science
