"About plein air and honestly"

Hallo everyone again! How are you? All is going to weekend. How are you going to hold that? Men on football, beautiful ladies - on the beach? Write me comments please!

Today I want to tell you honestly and without embellishment about the plain air. I already wrote about ants and thorns. So I will not repeat myself. This time my creativity was without invasions of insects. In general, today I will write only about the (so hotly loved on the steem) stages of the drawing.
But to fix these stages in the open air it costs quite a sensible efforts and inconvenience. I tried to put a tripod to record the process, but it aroused surprise among my older colleagues :-) and it refused to stand on the natural ground. The tripod was constantly falling on its side. In general, I refused to record the video and captured as many as four stages!

Stage I

So, the first stage is preparation. Colors, pencils, paper... The last point I took this time with full seriousness - I pulled the paper on the stretcher.

Stage II

This, of course, is a drawing with a pencil. I am sorry, this point I missed :-(
The fact is that I was bitten by midges. I was so angry that I forgot to take a picture. Next time I will do it properly!

Stage III

We begin to paint.
When I open the colors I solve the painful question - in which style I will paint?! On raw paper, in dry layers, or a la prima?..
A la prima of course is very hard style, not everyone can. This time I decided to paint on dry paper. Why, you ask me? I will answer ... It was hot, the mood was so-so. I think - this time I will make a leisurely sky with spectacular clouds. I started ... After some time I looked - pffff.... noncence :-(
Then my colleagues said to me: "We are finished. Are we going to fry meat?" O-ops

What would you choose? To fry a meat or spoil the paper? Of course I chose meat.

After a chic barbecue I arrived home, unpacked my bag... The wife started to bother me with some questions. I put the stretcher on the windowsill and opened the colors box.

At home was nice and cool. I wetted the paper and started to paint....

Drawing on wet paper is a very fascinating activity. The great artist Turner himself was fond of this affair!

Then my wife said to me: "Why did you leave the white paper here?"
And I say: "Do not speak on my arm!"

I started OK, but then I look - again, nonsense. Here's how to catch this moment when the muse runs away? I dont know. Do you know?

In the last stage, we try the picture in a frame. Sometimes the most hopeless picture comes from a beautiful frame.

Do not be lazy, comment! I love reading your comments
