About this painting:  I was up north plein air painting this week. Before I start a larger work I like to do what I call a thumb nail painting or sometimes just a value sketch. Here I did a small 5x7 before doing a larger 8x10. I don't work very large when plein air painting because the light changes so quickly. I try to paint in all the very dark shadows first. I also take a photo reference to view in case the light changes to much. My goal is to start painting larger in the field. I think the trick may be to use larger brushes.
