The interplay of a moving sun and fleeting clouds\u00a0make swift work integral to\u00a0capturing the scene. \u00a0A changing scene may force\u00a0the painter to work from memory, which is not as accurate as direct observation. \u00a0And after all, really, who has the stamina (or is it the lunacy?) to paint for hours out in the elements? \u00a0Thank goodness, most of my plein air painting sessions finish\u00a0in under two hours, before I can become dehydrated and sunburnt. \u00a0I completed this 11&#215;14 inch plein air painting of San Elijo Lagoon in about an hour and a half. Having a pre-toned (a neutral gray) substrate helped the work to go quickly because there was no &#8220;white space&#8221; to cover and the toned background filled\u00a0in the gaps in the superseding paint layers.<\/p>\n<p>My goal in painting in plein air is not to make\u00a0a photo-realistic depiction of the scene but rather to suggest\u00a0something truthful, with expression but that also looks good when framed and hung on a wall. \u00a0Plein air painting provides\u00a0the added benefit of being stretched by new challenges but also keeping the &#8220;chops&#8221; tuned for studio work.<\/p>\n<p>The San Elijo lagoon and nature center is one of the great places in San Diego to visit at twilight. Either early in the morning or in the evening before sunset, hiking the well maintained trails and boardwalk there is a peaceful and fascinating experience. \u00a0You will see the play of the wind on the surface of the tidal waters and the fronds of the grasses in the marsh. \u00a0Reflections of light, dance, shimmer and change with each breath of wind. The silence is ocassionally broken by the cry of foraging birds or the sudden splash of\u00a0fish jumping out of the water.<\/p>\n<p>San Elijo Evening 11&#215;14 oil on panel<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1519\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/working-swiftly-in-plein-air-painting-san-elijo-lagoon\/image-7\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image-scaled.jpg?fit=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image-scaled.jpg?fit=980%2C735&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1519\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"image\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image-scaled.jpg?resize=324%2C243&amp;ssl=1 324w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image-scaled.jpg?resize=416%2C312&amp;ssl=1 416w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image-scaled.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image-scaled.jpg?resize=624%2C468&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image-scaled.jpg?w=1960&amp;ssl=1 1960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>by San Diego Plein Air Painter, Ronald Lee Oliver<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the challenges of plein air painting is working\u00a0within a limited budget of time.

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 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":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2LJsF-or","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1515","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=1515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1515\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
