Plein Air Painting - Poplar Trees, Oromahoe

in art •  5 years ago 

It was one of those evenings where I just needed to get outdoors and paint. Luckily there is no shortage of subjects in my local area.⁣

My plein air paintings are all information gathering exercises for potential studio paintings as I always get photo reference at the same time. I also find it meditative and I always learn something from painting outdoors.⁣

Today has been very showery and cloudy as we have had a cold southerly weather system blast through. Whilst the windy conditions aren't ideal for painting, sometimes bad weather provides the most atmosphere to capture in a painting.⁣

I painted this art work in oils on a linen panel.⁣
