I've finished the watercolour painting of Gumpoldskirchen now at home. It does look like a painting from a child. I have so many problems with watercolour. But as a first plein air painting I'm happy that I got the perspective nearly right. When sitting there I wasn't sure how to tackle this view. How I can translate it into a painting. So this is something I'm happy with. I don't know if I will ever learn to use watercolours. But I will try again.
Today was my first plein air painting day. It was so much fun! Our teacher was such an inspiration and help. I like Gumpoldskirchen very much and it's perfect for painting outside. Although I was very uncomfortable first after the larger parts were placed correctly I got a better feeling for perspective and composition. The most fun part was how people reacted who strolled along. Some asked, others made nice jokes. Overall it was interesting what happened during a day. We sat there from 9 to 4. I'm certainly going to paint that way again although I need much more practice with watercolour.
This was my view, the painting is not finished yet.
