10″x8″ oil on panel

I finished this plein air study (see below) and it was a fail. It was a beautiful day at a vineyard, but the painting didn’t turn out. Why? I botched the values. So today I added some darks into the trees, and a few strokes that represent a plein air painter.

This was the last day of my recent oil painting workshop. It ended with wine tasting! What a fun day.

Hope to teach this workshop again next spring!!! It was such a great setting.
