We were helping to commemorate the San Diego River Days Festival, which takes place each year, raising money and awareness about conserving\u00a0the River and its wetlands .<\/p>\n<p>This painting demonstrates a few principles of an effective plein air painting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>simplicity of design<\/li>\n<li>balanced composition<\/li>\n<li>colors and values true to the subject<\/li>\n<li>atmospheric perspective<\/li>\n<li>suggested (and not rendered) imagery<\/li>\n<li>confident brush strokes<\/li>\n<li>mystery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230;the latter being that elusive quality that teases\u00a0the viewers mind by allowing them\u00a0to &#8220;fill in the blanks&#8221; and resolve the story of the image with their own narrative. \u00a0There&#8217;s nothing more satisfying for the mind than solving a puzzle, so I&#8217;m a big proponent of &#8220;allowing the paint to be paint&#8221; and the brush strokes to suggest form rather than dictate it. \u00a0This allows the mind to engage and play with the imagery and have a satisfying experience that provides new discoveries\u00a0with each viewing.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a few pics of me at the easel, talking &#8220;plein air&#8221; during my demo.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1494\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1494\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img

Lee Oliver. I am a San Diego born, lifelong self-taught artist, plein air, and studio painter who captures the vivid essence of subjects that interest me. I don't limit myself to a genre or \\\"style\\\" but prefer to work on an eclectic mix of subjects. Each is rendered in oil paint with varying degrees of realism or impressionism with selective vision. My paintings are done both \u201cplein air\u201d with a portable artists pochade style easel or on a larger easel in the studio. I consider the framing of the finished art very important to my vision of the completed work and therefore I offer much of my art pre-framed as envisioned and intended by the artist. I also make custom jewelry in 18kt gold and silver with gems and cabochons.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/ronaldleeoliver.com\\\/blog\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/RLOArtist\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/RLOArtist\",\"https:\\\/\\\/Pinterest.com\\\/RLOArtist\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ronaldleeoliver.com\\\/blog\\\/author\\\/ronnylee61\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"San Diego River Plein Air Painting Ronald Lee Oliver","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/after-the-rains-plein-air-painting-at-the-san-diego-river\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"San Diego River Plein Air Painting Ronald Lee Oliver","og_description":"The above painting, &#8220;After the Rains,&#8221; was completed and signed in the field on Saturday, the 9th of May 2015. \u00a0I painted this as my part of a\u00a0plein air\u00a0painting demo, where I was involved as part of a team of plein air painters from the San Diego Plein Air Painters Meetup Group.

Lee Oliver. I am a San Diego born, lifelong self-taught artist, plein air, and studio painter who captures the vivid essence of subjects that interest me. I don't limit myself to a genre or \"style\" but prefer to work on an eclectic mix of subjects. Each is rendered in oil paint with varying degrees of realism or impressionism with selective vision. My paintings are done both \u201cplein air\u201d with a portable artists pochade style easel or on a larger easel in the studio. I consider the framing of the finished art very important to my vision of the completed work and therefore I offer much of my art pre-framed as envisioned and intended by the artist. I also make custom jewelry in 18kt gold and silver with gems and cabochons.","sameAs":["https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RLOArtist","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/RLOArtist","https:\/\/Pinterest.com\/RLOArtist"],"url":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/author\/ronnylee61\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/dogbeachmr.jpg?fit=1422%2C1800&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2LJsF-o2","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
