Some of my plein air paintings
So, many people have been asking to see some of what I am painting out here in Italy. Which makes sense, since this is what I came out here to do :)
We've all been practicing a lot, and we've all made lots of improvements. I find it's harder to do the landscape painting, because it's slightly overwhelming. I first get out to the site we will be painting at, which are always gorgeous, and then have to pick something to paint. There is so much to see and I want to paint everything :) I think it is harder to narrow it down. The cityscapes are better, cuz you already have a focal point.
Anyways, here are some of my works. It'll be interesting to compare these to those at the end of this trip :)
By the way the Academy has put up a blog if any of you are interested in seeing us paint
