Hi everyone!

I’m so glad that it worked out to go live from France on July 11th. That was such a fun quick class painting hay bales!

For this next class the plan was to see what we were able to paint in France from the first class and adjust accordingly.

There have been a lot of requests for France topics and plein air painting tips, so here’s my idea:

I was really inspired by the Monet paintings in Musee d’Orsay and the way he painted in plein air, so for this class we are going to paint the sunflower field attached, including plein air tips within a similar style to Monet- but with watercolor! I can’t wait to explore this painting style with you.

For this painting I’m going to use a smaller watercolor notebook and travel palette that I use when I paint in plein air. Watercolors will be split primary: lemon yellow, cerulean, magenta, cad yellow, ultramarine, cad red and probably some indigo. I’ll use a size 4 round brush for the whole painting as well.

How live classes work: on Wednesday morning I will post the link for the live class here on Patreon. At 1PM PST when the class starts you will be able to click the link and join the class. If you cannot make it live, the classes are always recorded and available to watch any time.

Let me know if you have any questions!

I need help with overworking my paintings. Please throw in some tips on how to avoid this. Thanks

Per usual I will end up in the replay crew. Puppy class starts at 4

Susan…. I’m finding out that when I start thinking it might need more… I get up and walk away. Come back later… minutes, hours, sometimes a day or two. When I get back to it, if I don’t automatically think it needs this… then it’s done for me. If I’m still left wondering I have asked the group here. They are kind and very helpful

Ok…just going to say this, because maybe there are others? I did not know what plein air meant. I looked it up. Makes sense….😝. I just didn’t know.

Thank you!
