Hah! This keeps getting worse. But I'll be honest here and post the failures as well, not hiding the ugly beginnings :)
22.4.2015 - 12.00, overcast/sunny
Observations.
- The water was showing a lot of the ground, that would’ve been interesting to pay more attention to while painting. Greenish and brown. Skipped it due to not seeing much on screen and being in a hurry.
- Reflection of trees and sky etc in water needs deliberate observation. Easily overseen unless actively looking for it (for visually inattentive persons like myself). This can of course be done/practiced without painting, too.
- For greens, see yesterday. Same thing. Not happy with them.
Technicalities.
- Farmers everywhere + me still being uncomfortable being seen painting + me being lazy to walk far = hard to find good spot to paint.
- Sitting in half-shade instead of shadow made screen glare problematic today. Not having a proper place for laptop and myself was rather uncomfortable. Bringing something to sit on might help find suitable siting places on different grounds. If working without a shadow box, sun or half-sun makes no sense, since I saw almost nothing on my screen despite sitting between trees.
- Don’t sit down on nettles while painting. Let me repeat that for you… do NOT sit down on nettles.
- Need to overcome laziness and get out to catch some morning light! Maybe I can borrow someone’s bike to get to the nice spots quicker.
(spent couple of minutes cleaning some edges afterwards, but most is done on location)
(Don't do this.)
