Oil, watercolor, and pen and ink were among the media used by Plein Air Artists of Central Kentucky as we painted at Waveland, a historic state park.
I discuss how I simplified and focused on composition in my oil painting of the slave cabin. The property was the antebellum home of Joseph Bryan, built in the 1850s. The original slave quarters, smokehouse and ice house are still here along with the mansion.
Wait until you see how one artist rendered the main house in oil.
The video spends time with several of the dozen artists who showed up to paint together on this wonderful summer day.
