Unless we have really dramatic subjects like bright flowers, natural scenery painted in local color is like the photo: dull and predictable. While nature may be breathtaking in person, it only translates into a good painting when we interpret and enhance color by innovation and bold experiment.

I've seen it many times in my life and it's one of those terrains that cameras can't do justice to. But they're good for detail and structures, good to jog the memory.<br /><br />I've got a plein air in progress of one of many paintable views on our land and it's a lot brighter than the photos even though it's got so much green. Cameras will give a bright green but don't catch all the nuances of dark greens and olives and blue-greens, let alone the one tree that's got bits of orange in it. I had to do it in person.robertsloan2arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598847116529877475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14672405.post-71272572774130511702016-04-23T10:56:35.535-04:002016-04-23T10:56:35.535-04:00Wonderful piece!

Took photos of everything.<br />Loved your post, and looking forward to more. I saw color everywhere as well. Greens, rust and orange... purple... yellows. Just wonderful!<br /><br />Happy painting to you Karen!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051980478832038967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14672405.post-67402967374584863882016-04-23T07:54:27.894-04:002016-04-23T07:54:27.894-04:00Hi Karen

I think it was in your travel posts you mentioned taking spare parts for your Julian Easel? I have hunted all over for spare parts. Can you tell me where to find some?<br />Thanks so much.B Buggiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742502395269318282noreply@blogger.com
