On New Years Day, an art friend and I went painting! Yes, it was cold! It was 24 degrees when we got there, but it felt like it got warmer as the sun got higher.
I tried something that worked real well for me - I knew where we were going and what the colors would be. I also knew it was going to be cold. I premixed my oil paints at home! I also partially set up my french easel in the back of my subaru. All I had to do was turn it rightside up and extend the legs. I didn't want to expose my fingers very long - tightening wingnuts.
I also brought hot tea and I painted right out the back of my car. My friend walked out to the end of the boardwalk to the wildlife viewing platform for a great view out there.
We had a great time!
