If I had to do it over again I would have made a more comprehensive sketch. But the sky was in transition and I wanted to quickly record the movement of the high clouds before they changed. Plein air painting often includes the paradox of compromising process in order to get the best results.
I was surprised that painting outside with acrylics was as easy as it was. It was a nice day around 70°F and my paint remained wet on the palette throughout the entire painting process. I painted fast covering the entire 20" x 20" surface using palette knives.
I look forward to trying it again soon.

ReplyDeleteHaven't gotten the nerve to do plein air encaustics yet. But I am looking into the possibility of making acrylics have the translucence of encaustics. Wish me luck!
