Plein Air ad Studio Practice of the Landscape

“As a landscape painter, my preferred method is to paint a plein air sketch, where I compose, edit, and crop the scene.   I take lots of photos for reference.  Then back in the studio using the sketch and the photos,  I decide what changes I want to make and establish the composition and drawing for the final painting.  In my demo, I will show this process and work on a painting in progress.”
