This summer and early fall a few of us at the Sussex County Art Society have been having fun doing plein air sketches. They are necessarily fast and sometimes furious, trying to capture a scene quickly. I have learned how much lighter colors are outdoors than in a photograph in my studio. The experience of painting outdoors is one of great fun, and always a challenge to use ones skills. It also reveals the painters unvarnished style.
