Since we have been having some really great weather I went out yesterday day morning to do some outdoor oil painting near my back garden. I tried to work more thinly with the paint at the start this time as I started off too thick with my first plein air painting making it tricky to add in the lighter tones on top. I had a lot of fun painting this as I had a better understanding of the medium, but I still need loads of practice. Since the whole week is going to be great weather I will take advantage of this to do as many paintings as I can :)
Great stuff Heather, and those aketches too! Looking forward to more! If I try for that 5am light, I'll let you know :]
ReplyDeleteLovely to catch up on Friday, all the best.
Thanks Francis :) Yeah you should definitly give that a go. Painting outdoors is really fun and it forces you to work faster and not worry about details as the light changes quickly.
