THE STORY OF THIS PLEIN AIR PAINTING by TOM BROWN

Plein air paintings like this one seem to capture the true spirit of the moment. And they’re always a pleasure to do. This is a 7x9 oil painting on cardboard, painted from the front seat of my car. I was waiting to meet someone and had some time to spare, so I quickly set up one of my pochade kits and went to work. As I painted, it turned out that I had captured the car ahead of me just in time. That car drove off as soon as I had completed that part of the picture. This is something experienced plein air painters are familiar with. And it’s why I tell my plein air students to quickly capture anything that can change or move as they’re painting a scene. I’m glad I followed my own advice. I hope you like the results. Click HERE if you’d like to own this one.
