I’ve come to the conclusion that my landscape paintings need
improving. I want them to move towards
being more photo realistic. I’m not
looking for full photo realism or hyper-photo realism, just cleaner and
better. I’ve struggle with tonal difficulties
and color temperatures too. So to tackle
all of these at once I’ve decided to finally start doing En Plein Air (in the
open) paintings.
What are Plein Air paintings, you may ask. Here is a great article from Plein Air Painters of America explaining it.
To do this I’m going to do one Plein Air painting a
week. Either I will choose a location or
I’ve created maps of Utah Valley that I can roll on to find a location randomly.
At the beginning of the week I will show the location I’m
going to go to on a screen shot of the map.
I will blog about my hopes and goals for that particular painting. Afterwards I will blog about how things went
and my thoughts and feelings about the whole experience that day and any
interesting that I may have experienced, i.e. people, animals and such.
