Plein Air Oil Painting

I went back to Studley Park in Fairfield this afternoon. 

I had souvlaki takeaway from Spitaki on Station Street. They are my favourite. 

I decided to paint a boathouse, so set up my easel from here. 

When I started to paint, this view was my practice sessions. I’ve painted it many times. 

However, I haven’t painted this one for a long time. So, it was a good reminder of how much I progressed since then. 

As it turned out, not much :(

I really struggled this one. I’m happy with the boathouse, but, the background was not good at all. I think I need to come back. 

I spent 2.5 hours. 

Oil on canvas. 14x18 in.
