One thing a painter should practice is to paint 'au plein air' which means to paint outside or directly from a model rather than always from a photo. I decided to try my hand at this during the spring and summer of 2007. When we went to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina I brought along a small watercolor pad and a small painting palette. Cape Hatteras House is the house next door to where we were staying. The next three paintings were all done 'au plein air'. I have had varying successes with my 'plein air' paintings; these are probably my best ones so far.
