Take a look at John Walsom's recent 'plein air' paintings.

John loves to paint outside as much as possible, only this week he has been out painting with the Wapping Group of Artists. The group paint outdoors regularly along the length of the Thames and John finished four oil paintings around Lambeth Bridge and Smith Square. Each took from 45 minutes to 3 hours to complete, he says of the day "It's great to paint outside with other artists after spending time alone in the studio. I also paint with "The Brass Monkeys", who pride themselves in going out whatever the weather."
