San Francisco Bay Area Watercolor Painting
Yesterday, when I painted this sketch of San Francisco Bay shore from Martinez point of view to Benicia, CA; I was thinking that I was very lucky to paint this area el Plein-Air style so many times.
Plein-Air painting does not allow to sit and paint too long. An artist has to be fast and free with the brush strokes. It teaches to find main point and to "forget" some details.
In this sketch I achieved all el Plein-Air points: spontaneous approach, fresh color theme, and free outlines.
Cheers from
