I often paint from my color photographs. It helps me to pin down the fading light and gives me the time to tackle the details of the scene. Any suggestions?

Jim, I would just say, whenever working from photo reference, either snap a shot of the photo with an iPad and work from that. (That is if it's not a digital photo already) I you do work from an actual photograph, have a strong light shining on it. Taping it right under a lamp shade really helps to see it better.

Just read your article about contrast and counterpoints in an email from PleinAir magazine. I'm also practicing for a group ukulele performance. Sparked an idea for both my music and art! Thanks for the inspiration.

You wrote an article about mixing the right color every time in plein air today I think. Any way of getting that article. Hue value intensity temperature and something. Lol
