#pleinairpril Let's go! Day 1!
I forgot how hard painting outdoors is. Especially while fending a puppy off from drinking your paint water.

I also got covid in the middle of that month and it was the sickest I've ever been, so a lot of these were painted from bed.

A few more pleinairpril studies from 2022! I used the challenge that year as a way to spend quiet time with and connect to the new home I'd moved into. So a little less open air than the usual plein air.

I think I'd like to do plein airpril again this year - I did it a couple of times in 2021 and 2022 and it was a lovely way of connecting to my neighbourhood and home.
It might be a nice way to get into gouache painting practice again.

For these ones I tried engraving around the lines and cutting away the bigger spaces - next time I would cut right to the edge of the plate to avoid having to use a stencil to mask it.
I also used a cardboard jig I cut to exactly position the plates in the right place.

Just to share a bit of the process!
I've only just begun to play around with using the laser cutter to cut my drawings into wood, so there's a lot of learning on the way.

Printed the third and final layer and I'm so delighted by how this came out! It's a multiblock relief print with three colours.

A while ago I did some 20 brushstroke landscape studies.
I used a splattery rough edged brush with lots of texture in it which gives a bit of an illusion of detail.
These kinds of studies are great for learning to slow down with a scene and think about the composition before starting to paint
