Back to School in Croatia, watercolor, 4x6 (10x15cm.) painted on location, in the rain! I was there with Les Rats des Champs, a plein air painting group based in Paris. They travel to different locations often in and around Paris, and a few times a year they go farther away for a week or two. This time we stayed for a couple of weeks in several cities in Croatia. The first few days it rained, quite heavily at times, so it was quite challenging to keep our commitment: we paint outdoors rain or shine, snow or wind, 9 am till...sometimes almost 9pm! It was fun! I made a couple of larger paintings, and many small ones, since the weather was not too conducive to large set-ups till the last few days. Croatia is a beautiful country!!
