Painting in the Brrrr Winter C C cccold!

The sun came out...finally...here in Wisconsin's north woods, the Nicolet National Forest, and that meant everything goes on hold...must paint. It was a cold December day...at three degrees...so, I decided it might be good to take a few extra pics and demonstrate how I...or (we) in the wintry world gear up to take on the elements, the cold specifically.



I wore three thermal shirts...layers are important, and over that a very warm outdoor's coat...also waterproof...and I come prepared… Continue

Have a Bouguereau Christmas!

Okay, this post is not about Plein Air painting but I couldn't find any plein air paintings of the Virgin with Child! So, instead I used Bouguereau. I also included a fun fact about Christ being born in Bethlehem that I bet you don't know! Have a Blessed… Continue

Plein-Air Competitions

Hey, everyone!



"Karen, painting" Oil on Linen, painted entirely on location, Dena Kirk



I have been thinking for awhile (yes, that can be dangerous!) about plein-air shows and competitions. My very first plein-air event was with the Rocky Mountain Plein-Air Painters, which, at that time, was held in Estes Park, CO. I was so thrilled to have been accepted. I was a fairly established artist, but not yet in the world of plein-air… Continue

Charcoal

Hi Robert,

Thanks for that, I use charcoal for my initial sketches for oil painting aslo,it's a clumsy kind of material, but I like that painterly quality you get with it.

Plein Air Painting at Frame Park

It was quite pleasant today 30 F and cloudy. I feel this picture captures the essence of the day. We went in the afternoon and by 4:30pm it was getting dark. Last week we went to Vernon and painted a colorful civil war era barn with tiles on the side. It was a lot colder, 3 F, but very sunny with a very blue sky.

Lillian Garcia Roig

Lillian Garcia Roig is a plein air artist well worth checking out.

Here are some examples of her work - all done outside. Her statement is below the images.

My formal painting concerns have led me to use the conservative landscape as my subject and traditional plein-air painting as my process, in my attempts to reconcile the abstract nature of painting with its representational role. From a distance, I draw the viewer into what is first… Continue

My Sweet Life in Paris

I've traveled and painted through France before but, never in Paris. I had a past preconceived idea of Parisians so I avoided Paris because of my weak French skills. I just spent 1 1/2 weeks painting on the streets of Paris with my partner Anne Schreivogl who used to live in France, therefore fluent in French. It was a wonderful experience and I found the Parisians very engaging and friendly. As it turns out, my language skills were just fine as I provided the Parisians with cheap… Continue

My Travels Are Showing

I love painting in foreign locals because it is a chance to sit quietly and absorb my surroundings. I can't help but feel sorry for the tourists in the large groups being herded along, barely having time to snap a quick photo, because they are missing so much.



In Europe when you purhase a meal you own the table, so I look for the cafe table with the best view and then buy breakfast or lunch so I can paint. Here I am in the famous location of Van Gogh's painting Foram Square in Arles,… Continue

Inspired and Sleepless in Spokane

I'm in trouble now. I've discovered Plein Air artists. For years I painted outside and called it on-site painting. Where have you been? Actually, it's where I have been - working as a manufacturer; and still am, but morphing into OMG semi retirement.....can this be? I don't know what happened when I found Don Maier's art on fineartamerica.com but it was sneaky. And now I'm hooked. I can't stop thinking of painting outside again. I haven't wanted to do something this badly for years! What have… Continue
