Hello Everyone!
Well, you asked for it, so here I go again with a plein air session I just did this morning.
What do you think? I had fun doing this and the colors where just breathtaking.

Great colors! I really like how you handled the bottom one.
Great angle and sense of light. |

All the best,

Thanks Jim!
I started both of these at the plein air and then finished them when I got home off some photos I took of the scenes. The colors where just beautiful and it was hard replicating them. As for the angle, I kinda added a little bit of an incline on this, but it worked out. And the shadow came at the last of my session as the sun came out and gave me great shadows on the path. Thanks for your comment!

Plein air has such a nice fresh feeling to a painting. Can almost smell the fall leaves.

Kathy,
Great compliment! It's like painting ice cream and you can taste it. Thanks for the comment!
The colors that day were perfect. I have only been doing the plein air for about 3 months now, on and off, when ever I can and I see a big improvement in the looseness of my watercolors. I tried taking my pastels out, but it's too hard to carry all that stuff and messy. With the watercolors I can be faster and get it down on the paper in the time I have. We meet only for 2 1/2 hours. So by the time you find a spot, and set up you only have a few hours. Then we meet and critique. Good therapy!

wow Deb, those are really, really nice! I can't stop looking at the second one. Are your colors straight from the tube? Did you mix your greens?

Tami,
Glad you like these! I mixed the colors but only a few. I had some hooker green, lemon yellow, cobalt blue and payne gray, some magenta and cadmium red. I also had a few other colors on my pallet from a previous session and I really don't remember what they were. To get the browns, I mixed the cadmium and greens together. I was mixing my colors with only a small amount of water (since I only had a very small jar of it) and just kept adding to the areas that needed some depth. I usually mix my green with the payne for a darker green and the yellow for a lighter green. I am so happy that you like these.
Thanks for the comment,
Deb

| I like the lively brush you have. It puts a live spirit (Kami/Chi) in your paintings. |
