> Notes for Painters - I got a lot of questions about this board while I was at the PAP-SE event, so I thought I'd post this for the painters and students. This painting was done on a gessoed birch board called an Elephant Canvas.  No canvas, just smooth wood that had been primed. It makes the important strokes stand out in a great way. The paint just lays on top and holds the brush strokes in light areas. Sometimes, I really  like using these boards for smaller 
works like this. It worked well for the effect I was after in this painting.

>The painting below is also on a wood board, but it has linen glued to the top.  The linen has a coarse weave which shows through a bit, 
giving the painting a rustic type of feel.  

Notes about the 
2008 PAP-SE Event

It was a great painting trip to St. Simons Island. It's an incredible place to paint. Natural unspoiled beauty is just everywhere!  

These two smaller plein air paintings as well as the large studio painting are on view at Anderson Fine Art Gallery who is hosting the Annual PAP-SE Event. The Opening is Friday, April 25th.

There will be over 100 wet paintings in the event from painters from all over the Southeast!

PAP-SE is a group of professional painters who paint and promote a traditional method of painting, known as Plein Air. 
Plein Air is the French term for working out of doors, using natural light to make paintings. 

 For me, this method of painting is a great aid to making larger studio paintings, as it gives me the personal experience of close and careful study and observation of nature. I work smaller (usually) when working "en plein air" bur some painters also create large works in this method.
