The easiest way I know how to start a scene is to squint my eyes. Doing so minimizes everything down to darks and lights. It allows you to see past the distraction of color to understand the values in the scene. #PleinAirpril #gouache

The PleinAirpril challenge is to paint outside every day during April, to build a healthy practice routine, to learn, to explore where you live, etc. It's my favorite art challenge of the year.
