Here's an update on my "Plein Air" adventures'.  I've been watching the PBS dvd "Plein Air, Painting the American Landscape" and Scott Christensen's dvd "3 Landscape Studies" in the past few weeks.  I've decided to limit my palette as Scott Christensen has in his dvd. He uses Ultramarine Blue, Permanent Bright Red, and Cadmium Yellow Lemon along with Titanium White and some different nuetral greys. I need to buy a few more items before I head out into the field and give this a shot. I'm anticipating a real struggle with this since I've never done this before. I'll be taking my digital camera and shooting video of this at different times so I can post here and on You Tube.

Watching how these artists work with their paintings has been a real help and I've also been watching artist demonstrations on the subject on You Tube. The anticipation is building!
