First go at painting plain air, if from inside a car counts – it was awful cold. Could only open ultramarine, white and burnt umber initially though some boiling water from a local cafe let me open some more colours layer. Was wondering if we are getting to get more on painting soon – has been a lot on sketchbooks so far, and I'm struggling a bit with the connection

Hi Jane, thanks for you feedback, very helpful. First of all well done for getting out and painting in your car! – I don’t often paint outside but I love drawing outside. There are lots of logistical issues with painting plein air (as you discovered) but it sounds like you were very resourceful in solving them. In terms of painting there’s an upcoming video about assessing your work – and the right-brain video covers some of the way I paint, using sketches as a resource but not working directly from them. I’ll post a recap about my way of working on the chat
I love how each one has a subtle difference. Yes working in a car counts!
I really like these too – fab studies fo sky.
Hi Jane, lovely studies. Especially the two on the right. And inside a car counts! I find that sketchbook work is a wonderful way to work in its own right, complementing canvas/board in the studio or en plein air. Each informs the other. If you watch all the videos, you will see there is quite a lot of painting going on. Keep going!
