Even though it is sunny, it is ridiculously cold--deceptively cold. My desire to paint outside in this weather is zero, even with a scarf, boots and puffy coat, the wind went right through me. And in two days I am supposed to be outside plein air painting. I am hoping for sun and more warmth and less wind--wishful perhaps.
I would not be having plein air thoughts except I am signed up for a paint out in a few days. Oh my, I have hand warmers and thermals and still think I may freeze. Wishing and hopeful for warmer spring days.
As prep for the paint out, I am making my list and gathering my supplies. Right now my supplies include fingerless gloves, winter hat, and lots of layers and hand warmers.
In addition, I thought I should do some paint quick studies (these are from photo references). The first painting I did is a nocturne. This reference is from the parking lot of the fire station. I like the dark trees and the bright lights, it was late night and snowing when I snapped the photo. Also, I like the car under the light and snow.The next painting was from a foggy day reference, there was lots of grey. I like the color of the far trees.
