Painting En Plein Air and Then Some

Working on a painting of an aging, well-used metal and wood shed on the East Side Art Institute property near my home in Colorado.  Starting with a sketch of the shed and then getting that image onto the canvas before the canvas was hauled out to the site and the actual painting begun.

It’s a larger canvas, 30”x48” so the process needed to be a bit fast since it being a hot day and the acrylic paint I was using had to be applied rapidly before everything dried.

That was it after working on it for two separate days.  Now for a session in the studio.  

 Almost there.  I’ll go back through it and add some detail.
