Lesson 8: Town Landing Beach, Falmouth, Maine

Plein Air Painting (Outside Painting) always requires flexibility and Ingenuity. A friend let me paint from her deck, use the wifi for my computer, and her covered hot tub became my table.

Let’s Start:

Go outside in your yard, on a porch, or by a window. It’s time to paint! In this lesson you will be with me in Falmouth, Maine on the Casco Bay. It’s a foggy summer morning so the usual blue sky and water are shrouded in mist. This provides a perfect environment for our class to learn watercolor Drip Techniques.
