In this video, Alain Picard (‪@AlainPicard‬ )shows you his process of bringing a Plein air study to life.
We start off with a quick thumbnail to confirm our thoughts on different values and the general composition before moving on to the actual painting.
This Plein air session was at La Roque Gageac, one of the most beautiful villages in France. A place that we're so happy to be able to share with our guests every year!

Yeah you already have comments telling you to show you a picture of the subjects next time, but if you could also include small comments on the weather please? That would be cool.. To hear if it's cool, or the warm, if there's a slight breeze, or it it's humid? Would be cool to hear that info too. I'm disabled, and cannot even draw most days, because of the pain, and I don't do well in the sun, or physically going to a location.. So, it's really nice to watch other people paint on location, and it would be really cool to hear what the weather is like... to help me Invision myself being there easier. Maybe include what bottle or water or tea or whatever you are drinking lol. Just small details, to bring us with you

Makes a lot of sense! Thank you very much for your constructive criticism, we really appreciate it and we’ll definitely try to include it in future videos! 😃

Plein air of what, this video would have been much much better if you had taken at least one shot of the subject to show what Alain is talking about, what he sees... etc.

[@perigordretreats]

You're right! That's a great point. I'll get more shots of the subject in next time. Thank you for your feedback!

Alain Picard is a famous American artist, but he has a fully French name and so I expected him to pronounce French words correctly. Could he please take a basic course in the French language before his next attempt at pronouncing French words? Merci beaucoup.
