What do you like about plein-air painting over creating landscape works in the studio? I like both. When painting from life you are painting from three-dimensional views. When you are in the studio, you are working from a photo or in two dimensions. In painting from life you can leave off what you don’t like. When you take a tiny photograph and blow it up, you don’t have the details. When painting from life you have more options because you get more details.
