Painting Plein Air
I recently had a weekend away on the beautiful shores of the Atlantic Coast in Kerry. I'd brought my box of paints and had a couple of days of painting out of doors. I can't tell you how alive this makes me feel! I get the double benefit of breathing fresh air and absorbing all those negative ions while being immersed in my favourite occupation.
I did a couple of sketches in my panoramic style watercolour book
The first time this year my feet have been out of boots!
When I got back home I filmed a few demonstration paintings of some easy watercolour techniques. Starting with the sky in part one. You can see it below.

Stage 2 - Painting The Sea
The third stage which gave the foreground to this beautiful scene was unfortunately lost in cyberspace. But I do have a photo of the finished painting so you can have a look. The foreground really helps to give depth to the painting.
Enjoy!
