Another layer of paint… on both paintings. I start very fast but now I slow down putting color notes and working on my shapes. Doing figure work is not as forgiving as trees. But I am loving doing this 😅 Back at it tomorrow… hoping to paint Plein air in the morning the sun is forecast to be out all day tomorrow before the rain returns on Friday.
Today was a easy and happy plein air painting experience, I went out about a 1 o’clock which normally I don’t like to go when the sun is straight up. I wanted to paint this garden that Carmel care foundation has Recently redid. Working with Dale and will be giving a 24x36 canvas enhance print of for an auction. Carmel Cares foundation is amazing all volunteer help cleaning along scenic and throughout Carmel. I will finished the painting in my studio checking my edges values and a few more color notes. I was painting in direct sun so sometimes paintings become a little darker especially with acrylics.
Today I didn’t know where I was going to paint, so I drove down towards Big Sur a little bit and realize it was a windy day so I turned around and went to Carmel beach. When I first got there it wasn’t windy and I had plan to do a 40 x 30 and the wind picked up so I changed my easel to my Anderson easel which can take some wind but it was way too windy for that. I was determined to paint so I did a smaller piece 13x32 😅
