#Week2 – #EnPleinAir Painting

Plein Air Paintings – How are you doing outside?

Figure on a Porch, Richard Dibenkorn, 1959. http://goo.gl/zBrtt
  • NVAS: 1.1P: Use multiple approaches to begin creative endeavors.
  • Question to begin with: Read over the thoughts I’ve added and look over your paintings from last week. Take a minute and think about it all – what are 3 things that stand out to you as you look at the works as being STRONG elements of the work? What are 2 things that stand out to you as areas that are WEAKER in nature and require additional efforts. What is 1 thing you are REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO this week?

End of the Day Reflection (use the back of this page for more reflection space): How has the first painting from today helped you to develop the second painting for the day? Elaborate with examples from your paintings. We looked at the different types of compositions (8?) and then went out and painted, how did looking at the various types of compositions help you develop (or simply be more aware) of the compositions you set up today?
