This is my first outside or plein air painting in my life. It's acrylics on paper. The light changed too fast, and the acrylics dried too fast too. I tried to apply what I have learnt in W19... I would greatly appreciate any fruitful comments for improving my painting!

Xiao, the house is a play house. It must be not more than 2m tall! I can reach the top just by extending my hand!
Hi Silvana, So this is the Ash tree you were talking about. I have never seen this type of tree before. It is huge!! What an interesting tree it is! Nice painting too.
Thank you Michael and David! Your comments maintain up my spirit and the desire to paint! I've been to the beach these last days... The sea was completely different every day... I wondered if anybody was able to paint theOcean plein air? So dry, with wind and sand and salt... If being at home sitting on a chair is a challenge... I can't imagine what that could be...
Anyway, I will leave plein air landscapes for a near future, and try with some leaves which are so colourful these days, as soon as it stops raining!
Stu, I wiil try to get those odourless mineral spirits! Thanks for the tip!
Hi Silvana. I for one will say that my first attempt at plein air painting was very tough. Last year was my first time and trying to capture a scene on your canvas while shadows and lighting are constantly changing was definitely a challenge. It is a great painting for your 1st attempt! Keep at it!
Hi Silvana. Stu was right on with his assessment. I would like to add that this is the first plein air painting that you have done ....and it came out very good. So, you must keep at it!!! .. go out as much as possible and rack up the "brush mileage". Keep your motifs simple at first ... look for scenes that have a nice light dark contrast and pattern ...keep it simple at first!!! Put some still life objects on a table outdoors and paint it .......that is plein air painting also!!.
Thank you Stuart! You can't imagine how much all this info helps! I love oils, but at home nobody can stand the solvent's smell. If I paint oudoors, perhaps that shouldn't be a problem...! I'll try to find the acrylics you've suggested! Thank you very much for helping!
