Jim Moyer posted a blog postMondays plein air
Today was able to get out in the sunshine to paint. I find it difficult to get inspired when its rain or cold to paint outside.This is a 6x6 in oil on masonite board. I have been preparing my boards lately with W&N modeling paste applied with a credit card. It has just the right amount of tooth to drag the paint off.See More
