Had a great time Plein Air Painting with Amy Graves and Nico Oakley. They started a neat little group called @eugenepleinair I wish I got more pictures but I had too much fun and was concentrating on just getting some sort of finished work bc I've never Plein Air painted before and I'm so used to taking a month on my paintings! Thank you Nico and Amy if you see this. You were both so lovely and welcoming! Hope to catch another meeting with you guys soon!
In case you're scared of trying a plein air group this is the one to try! Both Amy and Nico are teachers and are naturals about providing positive feedback and making you feel welcomed even if you're trying something new!
Amy used Gouache and she painted two beautiful paintings one of a light post and the other of a neat tree with swirls, she has a great eye for interesting details, her speed is impressive! Nico used Casein and they painted a gorgeous expressive landscape with remarkable use of color and balance.
