Almost any artist will tell you that there's a certain appeal to working outdoors that can't be found anywhere else. With spring in full swing, many of us have left our studios for our porches, backyards, and beyond. To celebrate the season and all of the landscape art being made, here are 10 ways you can make the most of your next outdoor painting session.
One of the best things about joining the Artist Daily team is seeing incredible artwork on a daily basis. This is especially true in the area of watercolor. I wasn't too familiar with many contemporary artists working in the medium before I started working here, but I've become quite the watermedia fan in the last few months. And after snaring a quick peek at the table of contents for the upcoming summer issue of Watercolor, I have quite a few more artists to add to my "watch" list.
It’s only May, and already I’m fantasizing about summer road trips and exotic jaunts. But then I remember that almost every time I go on vacation my glow wears off once the artists show up. Inevitably, I see a traveler who is painting or sketching, creating significant and personal mementos while I am left envious and grumpy because all I have to take home are cheesy postcards and tacky magnets. This can’t go on!
