It's finally time for my #pleinairpril recap! In this video I'll share a sketchbook flip-through, talk about my biggest lessons learned after doing the 30 day painting challenge, and share tips and ideas if you want to try it. I'll also share some of what I learned about studying green for 30 days in a row. I used to be intimidated by mixing green, and relied on premixed greens from the tube. I've been trying to improve my understanding of green in the landscape, and this challenge was the perfect way to do that.
