AFFORDABLE IMPRESSIONIST PLEIN AIR PAINTING by TOM BROWN

“ROADSIDE ATTRACTION”
5x7 inch California impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown

Trucks and cars occasionally whipped past as I painted this from the edge of a rural road. But this was too good to pass up. The trusty painting kit that I keep in my car made it possible to set up and capture this scene despite the unlikely location.

For this painting I used the same lightweight metal paintbox that I used at the abandoned airfield in yesterday’s blog post. In moments I can set up to paint. When I’m finished, I simply close the lid and everything is packed to safely transport home.

Once again I felt it would be of interest to other artists to see photos of the actual scene, along with the painting as it developed.
