Nocturne painting preparation...
Here is a helpful list of things when considering plein air painting at night... referred to as "nocturne plein air." This info comes from the awesome Irish site... Plein Eire... http://pleineire.ning.com/
Nocturne Plein Air
Helpful hints for painting nocturnes:
1. Attach an Led booklight to your easel, or wear a cap-lamp.You can get these at the Dollar Tree Store... It is a good idea to get one for your easel and one for your palette.
2. Wear layers of of warm clothes, and carry a hot drink thermos flask. Not in our case... we are doing this on a full moon in August to beat the heat... Insect repellant is a must!
3. Keep moving; take little exercise breaks to keep the circulation going.
4. Lay out your paints on your palette before you leave home.
5. Use a limited palette of familiar colours.
6. Use a middle-toned canvas or panel to speed up the painting and to give a guide to middle tones, which can be difficult to judge.
7. Let someone know where you are, and bring your mobile phone.

In memory of Terry Rogers...
Dear OOPS artists... I just found out some sad news today... Many of you remember Bonnie Rogers from Burgaw who used to paint with us in the past... Her husband, Terry, passed on March 25th. Terry was always a faithful bystander as Bonnie painted with us. Here they are pictured together at one of our paint outs.
