One Summer Afternoon

With summer in full swing, it is time for another outdoor painting excursion! Take a front row seat and join in the adventure as Richard paints Rachel Arnold reading amongst the lilies. Contained in this demonstration are a series of sequential images showing the various stages of Richard’s garden painting. This initial plein air sitting spans a period of three hours in the late morning of a hot August day. This is a great lesson in understanding how Richard blocks-in a painting by simplifying the main elements into paintable shapes.
