Any other paintings, we can take as long as we want. I generally try for 2 hours or less on mine, since the light shifts so quickly. Plus I like the looser painting style, instead of picking at the details.Warrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830906409506903322.post-69085441155344283512010-05-27T17:01:55.234-05:002010-05-27T17:01:55.234-05:00Great start....you are definitely in your element ...Great start....you are definitely in your element with the mechanical stuff.

It's been about two years since I last painted outdoors...definitely rusty. Hopefully our weather will be better for the rest of the next two weeks. The rules say that we can't do any modifications back at the studio, in the "true spirit of plein air painting". That part is really hard, 'cause I see stuff I want to fix!!!<br />-WWarrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830906409506903322.post-71190418947213798662010-05-26T23:33:09.366-05:002010-05-26T23:33:09.366-05:00I really like the style you're working in.

Paint application looks great because of it. <br /><br />I think some punch of contrast in either direction for the background in the first would have kept the left side from flattening out. <br /><br />I really enjoy the first painting the most, likely because of the strong shadows you had to work with.grey_deathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249453355399027291noreply@blogger.com
