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.
