"Stone Barns at Blue Hill": Plein Air Oil Study

A local group meets to paint 'en plein air', with painting instructor Andrew Lattimore in Westchester, NY. Today, I joined them at Stone Barns.

It's a challenge to finish a painting on location in a few hours, before the light changes. I'm new to this, and tried an underpainting technique explained on artist Jennifer McChristian's blog. She makes it look easy:)
I made lots of rookie mistakes, and ended up wiping down the canvas, but hope to try again. Here are some progress photos:
