I'm setting myself a challenge for the month of May of doing a sketch or painting a day in the open air or 'plein air' as they say in France! Ultimately the aim is as always to improve but I'm hoping that this will help me with things like perspective and composition, as well as giving me some much needed practice painting with water colours. It's probably not going to be pretty at first but hopefully by the end of the month I will be able to show a marked improvement.
