I had my first plein air painting class Saturday and loved it. The instructor was very hands on and did a
small demo, which helped.
It was at Outlook Point in Redwood City,CA over looking Crystal Springs
Reservoir right across the freeway from the Filoi estates. The photo does not do the scene justice, it was much closer, and I did a just a small portion of the lake. The foreground was completely cropped out, to create a better composition. I did a watercolor sketch on student grade paper with pan paints. I took that sketch as my reference to complete a final piece of work on professional grade paper.

Thank you Tito and my original plein air painting was a disaster also. I used the original as a reference for this painting.
Painting outdoors is very rewarding and enriching Karen, when you get used to it, the results are fabulous.
