A little afternoon plein air painting today.
We decided to find a shady spot and then paint whatever was in front of us.
This path to the beach was lined on both sides by thick and unruly shrubs, vines, and trees. And I spent about the first hour just trying to figure out how I could even approach the subject.
The best decision I made was not drawing the fence (though I did indicate where the vertical posts would be). I had tried to draw it twice and was not happy. So I decided to plunge ahead and paint them negatively ... which turned out to give them an appropriately rickety look.
Nice job, esp. the fence and shadows and all those varied greens. Yes, plein air is so intimidating. I still paint from photos taken outside :(
ReplyDeletethe shadows are def nicely done as is the loose background 😀
