Another Day of Painting en Plein Air

I had a great time yesterday painting en plein air with the Philadelphia Watercolor Society in Smedley Park. It's a small park, and very green, but there's a pretty little creek that runs though it and that offered a nice visual distraction to paint.

I used my Sennelier half-pan watercolors on these paintings, and I love the intensity and luminosity of these paints. The half-pan set is also very convenient for plein air, and allowed me to travel lightly without having to carry a lot of supplies. Just add water and paper, and I'm ready to go!

 About a dozen other watercolor artists joined me at this plein air event. This photo shows Mick McAndrews working on his 1st painting of the day.
