I held my weekly painting class at the train yard tonight - and we did it at night! I love the spontaneity and freshness that comes with plein air painting - and especially when it comes to nocturnes! I did two ink drawings before returning to my original spot for capturing the light. When standing at a distance on a night scene, I have to wait until it is pretty dark to see where the light lands. This train yard is complicated for an hour paint, so I concentrate on the light and the color of that light. I caught the deep blues in the sky before they faded to black. I love painting at night! Painting number 1638 in 1638 days.
