This is another 5x7 inch oil painting I created as part of a lesson for other artists during a Plein Air Workshop I taught.

The sketches were part of the lesson, and I thought it might be interesting to post them here along with the painting.

I often suggest that artists who are new to Plein Air painting might want to consider doing a few thumbnail sketches before beginning their painting of a scene. These small sketches help clarify the composition and allow you to paint with greater confidence once you put brush to canvas.

BONUS FOR BLOG READERS: This painting is on eBay at the moment, and the pencil studies are not listed as part of the auction. However I do still have the sketches. If you happen to win the auction, email me that you saw these sketches here and I will include them free of charge when I ship your painting.

Thanks for looking.
