This weekend I participated in a plein air event in Bloomfield, Iowa. The temperatures were freezing. Definitely a challenge but that did not deter the competition. I brought watercolor but decided against it when the watercolor artists complained about the water freezing on the paper. Still they turned in some very impressive artwork.

The temperatures definitely slowed down my progress leaving me to warm my hands often. This was started with a pencil drawing of the horses. I have found that I can't block them in with paint as well as I can quickly draw the basic forms with a pencil. A thin wash of burnt sienna over the drawing and then paint the horses before they disappear completely over the hill.

Bonjour,
ReplyDeleteQuel courage que de peindre à l'extérieur lorsque les températures sont froides ! Je ne pourrais pas !
Je suis admirative devant ces deux belles oeuvres.
Gros bisous 🌸
