Cindy how wonderful to get your appreciative comment!! Thank you!

The way you present the process for your painting, the narrative along with the photos, are so helpful. Your painting is so lively, and the use of color guides me through the work. Thank you.x

Not really Andrea. But you can bookmark the page for future reference.

Thanks Andrea! And I’m glad you have some ideas to get you going outside.
As to your question, I think taking a few photos as you go is always helpful as it shows you the journey you took. Often though, I get into my painting and forget to take photos, even when I am doing it so I can write a blog about the process!

Always happy to hear I’ve inspired the painting bug Denise! Getting outside to paint can be such a production so I think starting in your backyard will make it a bit easier to get going. Let us know what happens!

Ahhhhh courage Glenda! The fact that you already work en plein air in watercolour means your steps ahead. So yes, do try something in pastel. It’s pretty awesome!

Thanks Katie. Yes the overwhelm of the outdoors can be rather paralyzing! Try a viewfinder and also making thumbnail sketches to hone in on what you want to paint and what you want to say and share with others. Like my example, you can zoom right in and pick a small piece.
And I’m looking forward to the workshop!!
