PLEIN AIR PAINTING - VARIETY

8x10 oil on panel 'Fickle Fig Farm' plein air painting

Variety.  It's the spice of life, they say... I find it's also the spice of my outdoor 'plein air' painting experience.  It's easy to bumble along with the same old application method, but it's boring, and it gives boring results.

 I like to change up how I apply paint.  Brushes, palette knife, scraping, smudging with my gloved fingers or with a rag, the more variety the better.  Here's this morning's plein air painting from Fickle Fig Farm. with the Alfresco painting group. The Fickle Fig is a farm market / bakery / cafe near Sidney, BC on Mills Road near the airport.
