 | All done!
This shot shows Scott's finished piece on the easel, with the original scene in the background. I always like to take shots like this, as it helps me to determine whether or not my effort was a "success". It also allows me to quickly see, in thumbnail fashion, what I need to work on in terms of my technique! They are especially useful when you have returned home, and have been away from the scene for a while. |
 | As another example of "camera thumbnailing", consider this image, from the WetCanvas! trip to Dillard, Georgia, back in 2000. |
 | Here is your humble editor, making some last minute touch ups. Hey Larry, check out that squint! :) |
 | Light, of course, is one of the plein air artist’s best, and worst, friends. When captured correctly, “light” provides the needed dramatic "punch". However, capturing it accurately requires "time", which is not typically a luxury when working outdoors.
See the light in this photo? Nothing really dramatic about it, as there is no major infusion of light. |
 | Consider this image, taken just a few minutes later. Wow! Here we have a nice stream of sunshine pouring into the back of the image.
This is why you bring a camera, folks! |
