Working From a Plein Air Sketch

"Bridal Veil Falls" 11" x 14"

Here is a plein air sketch that I did on location in Yosemite National Park. I used this sketch to create another painting in the studio. Although my passion is to work from life, it is good discipline to try to create that same energy in the studio because you have more time to spend on design and composition.

"Cascading Water" 16" x 12"

This was done in the studio from my plein air sketch. I applied what I learned on location about the movement of the water and the color of the light. I was not a slave to the sketch but only used it as reference.

Love seeing more on your process. I love the artistic license you took, it's so interesting to see how you composed this and what you left in and took out. Fascinating!

I have been painting from ever since I can remember. I can’t forget the support that I received from my parents as a child. They nurtured the artist inside me really well. This was a really beautiful sketch. I really liked Bridal Veil Falls.
