"Plein Airing"...


Exercising the observation skills. Went out and did some painting from life at Guadalupe Gardens in San Jo. Love it 'cause I always finish it up with a meal at Panera... I hate the sky in these, they reproduced poorly, but in the original - its not much better. I keep loosing my whites. I know, I know... I gotta preserve my whites when working with the medium (i used acrylic). Anyhow, good to know for next time. Going into winter, so I there'll be an abundance of light values. Gotta remember that when I go out: restraint!
