Plein Air Magazine



Plein Air Magazine Dec-Jan issue
My sketchbag
I am excited to share I am  featured in the current edition of Plein Air Magazine!
A few months ago I was contacted by the editor Steve Doherty and asked if I would like to share how I work on location with watercolor? Of course, my answer was YES! After a few email back and forth we arranged a time for the phone interview. A week later I received the draft of the article. I made additional comments, and sent digital images of my sketches from Praque, Germany, France and Italy.

A selection of my many sketchbooks
A few days ago I received the printed version of the magazine. It is top rate: high quality paper, good color... Steve is also a painter so he has a good approach to writing that is clear, informative and interesting. When I read the article I felt he kept my "voice" in it. Not a bunch of that gibberish you often see.

What a treat it is to share my watercolor sketches and illustrated travel journals. In the printed version of Plein Air Magazine I have four pages, but the digital version is expanded to have two additional pages of my sketches. If you are interested in a copy you can purchase it at Barnes & Nobles, or subscribe to the Plein Air Magazine.

Happy Sketching!
