Nocturnes-Round two!!

I'm thinking Thursday 25th, for our second outing. Wexford Quay at 5.30 - 6pm.. If you have somewhere near your locality that you think will work..go for it! I'd advise trying to limit it to an hour, as the weather at the moment means it can get cold v. quickly. Wear extra thermals, bring a flask of "something", a headlamp( make sure you have it on the right setting), and if you can paint in a group..all the better!..

It takes a little while for your eyes to adjust...but it's a bit like Christmas..you can't wait to SEE what you painted when you get home!! ( a surprise).

Good luck everyone!!

Here is some (ahem!) nocturnal inspiration for anyone contemplating attempting our latest challenge:
From The Artist Magazine article, 'Painting Evocative Nocturnes' written by artist/writer, Michael Chesley Johnson, plus some inside track on thge subject from Marc R. Hanson's blog 'Painting My way Through Life' and finally, some images from the same blog covering Marc Hanson's nocturne marathon undertaken in September 2010.
