Plein air painting at Lake Loramie






These were all painted up north, near Sidney, Ohio at a beautiful state park, Lake Loramie. It is a good exercise to set up and paint outside. The detail that you see when you are looking at the real thing is different than painting from a photograph. It trains your eye to see the important characteristics of a place. It also helps you learn to paint quickly.

What I'm working on today: I have 2 students coming for portfolio sessions. I help them compile a portfolio for college admission. Then I am headed over to the studio space at Town & Country to paint.
