Plein Air Painting @ Lunch
One of the perks of working in animation is that you can find other people who like to paint. Myself and a few friends at the studio go out during lunch for a little plein air painting. The time limit forces us to work quickly, and small. This is a collection of lunch sketches painted directly on an unprimed piece of birch board. They are about 20 minutes each, and feel more like aerobic exercises than paintings.
Also, for those people who like to paint roadside scenery, I recommend bringing a few of these signs along with you to help regulate traffic flow. ;)

oh my god! hahaha. That's hilarious.
And lovely quickies, I wish I had friends who'd like to paint.
Lucky you! My art friends are all slackers! They wouldn't even come to sketchcrawl with me. These studies are amazing though.
Great quickies. Hey...did you really put up those signs...pretty funny!
Inspirational! I need to get out and paint with real paint more.
Got to your blog via David Lobernberg's. I really like your style. Now I gotta get me some of these signs. :-)
nice excercises Marco. Hah.. I love the signs.. that should keep the peanut gallery away. BTW.. are you using a french easel in this?
Hey Mike,
Thanks. The photo is taken at a weird angle. I'm actually behind the French easel, using my good ol' pochade. My friend who took the photo was using the French easel.
excellent!!
impressive quick paintings! only 20 minutes each... really impressive...
you can't paint on the road like this here in France, even with a lot of roadsigns,actually, you can, but the only thing you'll do quick... is to die... ^^
