So many painters think that alla prima is the only true plein air and that is nonsense. In my opinion, alla prima is marginal at best. Plein air can be so much more. I like your painting very much.<BR/><BR/>Linda Blondheim<BR/>www.lindablondheimartnotes.blogspot.comLinda Blondheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03404572279414781192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-26040994549918865612008-05-16T10:04:00.000-04:002008-05-16T10:04:00.000-04:00Hi James, Another great post.

I never mind going back the next day, in fact, Im usually excited to return so that I can finish the piece. I like the part about composites, because allot of times, Ill use my plein air studies as backdrops or foregrounds in my studio paintings. The only ingredient that needs to be right is the lighting. Sometimes the lighting in my plein air study will dictate the outcome of the whole studio painting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
