Still Life painting in plein air

©Linda Young 2012 Iris at Roebling Roads 7-1/2" x 11" Watercolor |
A week ago in a watercolor class with Jeanne Hartman, some of the class painted a light purple iris as part of the still life. At the end of the class, I took it home with me to take along on our trip to Georgia; it was too pretty to just toss away. Remembering Sharon Benner's suggestion for the SVPAP to paint a still life in plein air, I thought I'd give it a try.
I sat up the iris with strong light coming from the right side. Painted with the race track in the background and sand pit nearest the foreground I had many people stopping by to see my progress. The race track's name is Roebling Roads and it is located a little south of Savannah, Georgia.
