WATER COLOUR – PLEIN-AIR AGAINST THE ODDS: 3RD OF 4
Geoff Hunt
There can be an awful lot of unpromising days when you’re painting outdoors in Britain. You know the sort – dull, maybe a chance of drizzle, or the sun might come out for half an hour; more likely the light is as flat as a pancake and the overall colour ranges from light grey to dark grey. But you had planned to go painting on a particular day so there you are, outdoors. A shame it wasn’t yesterday, when the sun was so inviting, or tomorrow when it will of course be shining again. So you’re stuck with today, and you’re going to have to work just that bit harder to get a result. On the other hand you do have a great excuse for not producing a masterpiece, and that takes the pressure off, because you don’t set out with any very high hope of yourself. You may even be pleasantly surprised by what you can salvage from such a day. If not, too bad; just think of all the fresh air and exercise you’ll have had!
