Here is a step-by-step look at me painting plein air at the Rancho Cordova I-Fest, a display of the city's international diversity. The Sacramento Plein Air group was invited to document the event.

I started with a rough outline with an Expo dry erase pen,
and then washed in sky and began working on the background. |
 |
| Working my way down, adding in more background. |
 |
| Filling in the foreground. |
 |
| Add in shadows. |
 |
| A few minor details... and voila! |
This was a very challenging project because I have always avoided drawing people, and here was a huge crowd! Also thought I'd throw a dog in there just for sport! Here is my "almost complete" artwork displayed next to David Peterson's work.

I forgot to give my wife credit for the photos. I was too busy to even notice that she was taking them, but it worked out well for showing the steps. Thank you Joann!
