| Plein Air Painting |
I recently had the opportunity to attend a workshop in Dubois, WY with the Susan Kay Black Foundation. This was a chance of a lifetime to study with other wildlife artists whom I'd admired for years.
Taking a break from studio painting, we had the chance to plein air paint. We were up out at 6:00 am each morning to capture the breathtaking views around Dubois.
Plein air painting has become very important to my work. Being able to capture color and value in life is essential when working with photo reference. Photos do not give an artist all the information needed to make a great painting. So, knowing what needs to be changed will breathe life into my paintings.
