This was a perfect day for plein air painting! Warm temperatures, mild winds, and the sun shining on the fresh spring landscape, who could ask for more? Diane invited me over to spend the afternoon among her redbuds - and I jumped at the chance! Heading over right after teaching painting class, I started sketching out the composition in paint. With such warm light on the scene, I chose a cool violet to sketch with. Once in, I marked my darks with this same shade before working on the light. Next, I skipped to the background, working forward until the stage was set and ready for the stars - the redbuds! In hindsight, I should have massed them in a bit first. Oh well, I'll do that next time! Painting number 1554 in 1554 days :)

Tammie this is just stunning. I like that you explained how you work. I find it very interesting how people create. We all have our own methods.
