"Quick Facts to remember when painting En Plein Air"
"•sky holes in trees are darker than the sky around them
• The tops of trees are affected by " sky shine".
• Objects in the distance are lighter and cooler in color
• Trees, like people are identifiable by silhouette and structural anatomy
• the sky is not always blue
• Greens comes in great variety
• The direction of light should be consistent throughout a painting
• Sky and water painted with horizontal strokes gives the impression of depth
• Edges, light, and color handling communicate weather and time of day"

I would like to add ........

Think of the trees grass, leaves, trees flowers, etc as skin. Painting the human figure , translucent skin reflect and absorbs colors around. So don't just stick with greens.

The World is so colorful!!!!!!!

Happy Painting.
