Plein air event

Was at a plein air event yesterday - lots of visitors (they even announced it on local radio!) - not many artists!(my painting looks like something you dig up in a junk shop - and it's still on the easel - is that what they call vintage style?! ;( )

Sure looks like you nailed your warm and cool greens ..the values looks good ....the composition looks good .....Todo esta' bien!

Comment by Jon Main on October 15, 2013 at 8:32: Thanks, Aurelia - might be an idea to slow down and think a bit more ;( . I hate small paintings - it's not reasoable or logical or good for learning - but there you go - I want something I can get back and look at (admire all the mistakes!)

Comment by Aurelia Sieberhagen on October 15, 2013 at 8:11: I like it. I am impressed with your canvas size for an plein air and also think you did a lot in one day! Wow!

Comment by Jon Main on October 15, 2013 at 7:34: Thanks for commenting, Manneherrin. Well, the horizon's in the centre, the house is centered - and has Mickey mouse ears... etc - but it's difficult to get it right outside! Maybe the last outing of this year? There were a lot of spectators - bit unnerving when you turn round and there're 20 people watching every gesture. I sold the one I did in the afternoon tho'!!

Comment by Manneherrin on October 15, 2013 at 5:31: i like this texture, color,definately the shadow/light composition.. only things that i can think of is that the windows are not like the building's.
