Plein Air @ home before sunset Bay Area CA


After a hot summer, suddenly the temperature dropped down, felt like autumn this week.

This is scene I see daily. After over a decade I finally decided to paint it. Setting up my workstation, I just drew what I usually saw, then started to paint with watercolors.

Because summer was still in my mind, I used a little too much water at the beginning, so the paper kept wet for a long time, especially after sunset. Liked the vegetation over the fence, it was the overrunning green. I thought it could be green plants climbing over the fence.


I could not complete the painting, not only was the paper too wet, also I felt cold and it was getting dark.

The next day, I did my final touch and finished it. Maybe try another one again in the future, such a convenient spot.
