Plein Air April 2023

It is Plein Air April! Make at least one plein air painting/sketch during this month (April)! It can be digital or traditional, any medium counts! This is a regular monthly art challenge that occurs during April. Warrior Painters hosts their own hashtag during plein air April on IG, they have a theme but I just wanna do whatever plein airs I want so I might as well make this a challenge in case anyone else wants to add theirs in the pot. Traditional plein airs are paintings done outdoors. However virtual plein airs have gotten popular especially during the pandemic. In the past, I have personally used Google Street view and will try plein air studies from Youtube walking videos this year.

04 - Virginia - Plein Air AprilA vertical one today; I'm trying to get ahead one day so I can post at a less later time

This one was supposed to be easy but it was so hard to do the clouds

This was my second attempt at the clouds after scrapping the first try and I learned the value of the smudge tool for soft and hard edges.

I actually took this picture from our backyard. Since I have a real camera this year I'm hoping to get lots of good shots because these golden moments only last a few minutes before it all chages so it'd be uber hard to do this "true plein air" with the sky darkening fast and trying to paint that all fast.Apr 5, 2023
