Painting Outdoors at Spring Park

"Spring Park Bridge" done in acrylic 5x7 done in Plein Air by DWeaverArt ©2018 

Spring Park Bridge is a bridge located in Tuscumbia AL at Spring Park  This is the second time I have painted in plein air at this park.   My very first time ever painting in plein air was at the man made water fall at this very park in 2014.  I woke up this Saturday May 12th and decided to go and paint in plein air at the Park.  I had a art friend to come by to see my progress alone with some spectators in the park watching me paint.  It was a very hot day I got started around 10am  and by the end my time painting there I was determined to start much early next time.  As always I enjoy painting and it is a unique experience to paint out in public.  I'am looking forward to painting again in plein air and hopefully I will not be the only one painting out in public.  I have had a few comments on this painting and most people said they liked the colors.  Thank you very much for reading my blog.  Please check out my YouTube channel Dee Weaver Art and follow me on instagram and twitter under @dweaverart  If you are interested in purchasing any of my art please email me @ deeweaver15@gmail.com.

Plein Air Painting by the River Bank

I have been enjoying this summer.  However the weather and season will be changing soon.  Here is a picture I took of the Tennessee River.  I took this picture before I started to unload my painting supplies.  I liked what I was seeing.  Here is some small trees at the edge of the river bank.  

I started out with a very quick under painting done in a yellow ocher wash.  I used a small flat brush and a liner brush to establish the main features of the landscape before adding color and more detail.

This is the finish photo of the painting alone with the scenery of the landscape.  At this time as you notice the sun has went down behind the trees to the west of my set up.
