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.

Forgot to post this one. Sorry
If you remember reading my blog about my trip to Corsicana?
Then you will remember this house that I wrote about.
It was so cold and windy that day and because I paint with acrylic windy and acrylic are mortal enemies.
So if you paint with acrylics and find your self out in the cold (no pun intended) then brake out your pencils, pen or even your color pencils and start drawing. But remember you are not drawing a master piece, yes you are documenting a moment in time but just have fun.
When I go out I always carry a plein air bag of pencils, pen, color pencils, sketchbooks and papers.
I have found that when the weather gets bad or when I get what I call “out of sorts” I will pull out my bag and document the moment as I have done here.
I started off with a pencil drawing and then add color to the roof and front of the house with my color pencils.
Next I took a fiber Castle fine and extra fine black pen to start sketching.
