Maybe the worst wind in months and so I had scheduled a plein air painting day with my classes. Our final hurrah before summer break.
I had to go around with masking tape to secure their masterpieces and even then water cups were blown over and and paint brushes took flight.
I mentioned that some people go out in snowstorms and rainstorms to capture the clouds and atmosphere so it was all very genuine to the act.
“En plein air, or plein air painting, is the act of painting outdoors. This method contrasts with studio painting or academic rules that might create a predetermined look.”
