5 x 7 oil on canvas board - SOLD
This is my submission for this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge. We were to set up outside, 1 to 5 feet from some flowers on the ground and paint them in one session. This is called en plein air. Only 3 colors plus white could be used: Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Red Light and Ultramarine Blue and we had to complete it within an hour using only 3 brushes! I was glad for the hour to be over because it was miserable outside with the humidity this morning. I have never painted outside before and that's why - can't take the elements! It was a great challenge though, not enough time to fuss with it too much, which is a good thing.
For your first en plein air you did a great job on those Black-Eyed Susans! I can relate to your experience. I'm still trying to do one in an hour.
ReplyDeleteLove the composition and fresh appearance of the colors, Wanda!
ReplyDeleteI agree...painting in the elements is a pain. Give me air conditioning.....
