Thanks for this Bec and, funnily enough, you may not have to wait long at all to see my first plein air of the year – although sadly, the sun was nowhwere to be seen!

Now when are you going out to paint from your own lovely countryside? Sun is out now so no excuse ;-)

You’re welcome John, I remind myself to do the same “let the brush flow” ;-)

Thanks so much Carolina and am trying to follow your advice re letting the brushes flow!

Your struggles with impatience and not being satisfied with your paintings parallel my experiences every time I paint! Reading about it helps me so much. :) I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with and how using a sketch works for you. I can’t wait to try it out for myself, I typically use my plein airs painted with pastels and translate them to watercolor. Once again I enjoy your posts.
