Advice for a Beginning Plein Air Painter

On YouTube, Neat Studios asks: "What kind of advice would you give to a beginning plein-air painter?



1. Use just a few colors. 
If you're new to the painting medium, just use black and white at first. When you're ready for color, use three colors and white. (Lately I've been using ultramarine blue, yellow ochre, and cadmium red.) After you've explored the possibilities of that group for a while, try another small group of colors.

 2. Use an easel.
It will free up your left hand and to get the work close to your line of sight. It could be a really simple sketch easel (Facebook group "Sketch Easel Builders") on a tripod, or a commercial watercolor easel. This improves your accuracy and keeps you for having to hold the book in your off hand. By the way, my wife disagrees with me on this. She says don't use an easel at first because it attracts attention to you, which you probably don't want.

3. Pick a simple subject.
It could be something in the foreground, such as a rock, a bucket, a fire hydrant, or a snow pile. Try to paint it as accurately as you can in the time available. As you develop your skills more, you can try trickier effects like water reflections or atmospheric perspective.

4. Don't let curious spectators rattle you.
Welcome their curiosity, but shift the conversation topic to something about them. Then politely disengage your attention if they stay too long. That way you won't feel like they're judging you.
