Plein Air Painting

Painting Plein Air is a fantastic excuse to get outside and work from life. Every piece starts with an idea of where I want to visit before grabbing my tools and venturing out. If it’s a day trip or a week’s adventure I’m always very focused on a specific place or views that have captured my attention that I want to commit to canvas.

After setting up my equipment and a rough pencil sketch to mark out the composition. Then I’ll happily paint for a few hours until I have achieved what I set out to do or the weather turns. It’s wonderful to work out the air but I recommend packing an umbrella!
