MARY TONKIN ON PAINTING EN PLEIN AIR
19,496
Published 2021-06-16
Hear from Victorian-based contemporary landscape painter Mary Tonkin, who works entirely en plein air in the dense bush on her family's farm at Kalorama which is surrounded by the Dandenong Ranges National Park. Mary paints extraordinarily detailed compositions, seeking to convey sensations and emotions that arise in response to the surrounding bushland, grappling with changing light over the weeks and months creating the work.

I love that you’re doing large paintings outside from the landscape, turning on its head the notion of having to rush through a small painting or two in an hour or two. Brilliant. Gorgeous expressive vibrant work!

Great paintings there Mary. Glorious colour and complexity of form. You convey a very peaceful aurora.Your brushstrokes are placed with such gentle control and sympathy which belies the finished work full of energy.

Astonishingly gorgeous work! The expressive brush strokes and luscious colour are phenomenal al. And I’m even more in awe of the physical exertion required in producing these paintings, carrying all that gear into and out from each location.
