Plein Air at the Cedar Hill State Park

My Adventure Plein Air

Beauty is where you find it. And sometimes it’s found by climbing over a few fences to get to an unusual subject. That’s part of what makes outdoor painting (plein air) so interesting to me. There are always new and interesting things to be discovered and painted.

————————————————–

Will I started off the month of November 2018 by going out to Cedar Hill State Park in North Texas with a group of ladies to paint outdoor. I told my son I wanted him to go with me so…

1. He is my Navigator as I drive

2. He make sure that I am not alone while paint (my bodyguard)

3. He is great company and a a big helper too.

I had a great time with the gals. Once we got to the park we decide to had lunch first. After lunch we all looked around at the site we decided on our spots and started painting. Some of us was close to the others and while we painted we chat, laugh and check out each other’s work.

 

We all painted around the pond and I saw this, what I thought was a shed but found out that it is an observation deck.

That day it was not cold nor hot but was a nice day to be out and just have fun.

I had a ready great time with this group of gals. Can’t wait for us to get together again.

San Antonio paint out

My Adventure Plein Air

Beauty is where you find it. And sometimes it’s found by climbing over a few fences to get to an unusual subject. That’s part of what makes outdoor painting (plein air) so interesting to me. There are always new and interesting things to be discovered and painted.

————————————————–

It is now October in my plein air adventure and OPS is planing to go to San Antonio to paint the missions and the river walk.

Hubby has taken his vacation and we are going to take the “Beast” out, (our 42 ft 5th Wheel) on a trip to San Antonio with OPS.

Note: 10/08/…

WOW! A bad Texas rain storm has hit the house. As you can see I already have little lake’s in my back yard.

I wonder how long this storm will last?

Note: 10/09…

It is still raining and from what the news man said this morning we are in our second severe storm and we still have a third one coming in. The next storm will bring cooler weather and kick off fall for us by tonight.

All I can think of …”Just don’t rain while I am in San Antonio on the Outdoors Painter Society paint out event next week”. I am so looking forward to this event, get outdoors to paint, meeting up with old friends and making new one.

Note:10/10…

I can’t wait for next Wednesday. I am going to San Antonio, Texas for a week. YAY!!!

For three days I will be with the Outdoor Painters Society painting with old and new artist friends and then after the event is done Bruce and I will become tourist and just enjoy the town together.
So I am busy clean house, working the gallery, church duties, and getting my art supplies ready plus the RV too.

Note: 10…

I was just outside putting the last of my art gear and some clothes in the Beast (5th wheel) for our trip this Wednesday and boy it is cool!!! out there. The temp is 43* put the wind chill feels like the low 30*
Makes me question why I love to Plein Air. Ha Ha

I sure do hope its not raining in San Antonio. Hubby dose not allow me to paint in his truck.

We will see what happens…

Note:10/16…

Snoopy said not to complain about the rain but I’am sorry, I am screaming my complaint. Ugh!

Due to the rain and flooding all over Texas my sweet hubby Bruce and I do not feel it is safe for us to pull the Beast in all this bad weather to San Antonio for the paint out event.

“ITS NOT FAR!!! DARN RAIN!”

So we will have to spend our vacation somewhere else after the rain.

Well I really shouldn’t complain, at lease I will be with the love of my life, my hubby and we will be together.♡

Plein Air with Color Pencils

My Adventure Plein Air

Beauty is where you find it. And sometimes it’s found by climbing over a few fences to get to an unusual subject. That’s part of what makes outdoor painting (plein air) so interesting to me. There are always new and interesting things to be discovered and painted.

————————————————–

Well summer will be here soon and before the heat hits I want to go back to a site that I had painted before but this time I want to use my color pencils.

So after church I went and grab me something to eat and drove to my site.

From what I can tell this is an old abandoned substation. What dept I don’t know?

I pull into the abandoned parking lot and set up my supplies .

Now what I did was brought a small table to set up my color pencils. I laid out my color pencils case’s, a pencil sharpener, a rule (large and small) and a eraser.

Next was my chair with an umbrella and a table top easel to set on my lap.

Now I am set but I forgot one thing, my hat. I like to wear a hat when I paint or draw. It helps keep the light out of my eyes even thou I do use a umbrella.

Now I am ready.

As I sat there drawing and listening to nature, I found that drawing outdoors is way different than indoor. With indoors you have the comfort of stretching out, laying out your pencils so you don’t have to look for them and just be creative.

But outside you are limited on what you can bring as in color pencils. Plus you don’t have the room to stretch out and draw as you do as if you were at home, so for me this seem to take longer to be creative.

I soon found out that time had run out for me and beside my hand was starting to hurt too.

I will need to go back to finish this drawing but it has taught me that if I plein air with color pencils then I will needed a lot more time to draw than when I paint.

If you like to draw or use color pencils they why not try it for you self. See if you don’t get hook on the challenge.
