I’m very pleased I found “Indian Yellow” paint for dramatic sunsets. It really captured the sun’s glowing colors and makes a great contrast against the cooler tones of the land and water.
Plein Air is a French phrase, (en) plein air, has the literal translation of “in the open air”. It is used to describe a style of paintings or drawings created in the moment, primarily from nature and infused with a feeling of the open air. The artist’s challenge is to create an impression of a scene, capturing the atmosphere, feeling and immediacy of the moment.
