A couple of months ago I had a break in between teaching lessons so walked down to the river with my canvas and easel looking for something to paint and ended up choosing this beautiful view of Sonning lock.
Painting en plein air is difficult but so much fun and really really rewarding!! I recorded the main colours and shapes and captured the energy in situ, and then refined the painting back in the studio (just like the impressionists did!) I loved painting this one and am planning on doing more plein air painting soon!!
This is oils on a 16x20” canvas
