The reflection of light and the small incidental details that offer the viewer an insight to the texture of the image are all important. Do the big stuff but don’t forget the little stuff too!

Just keep things simple, when you feel yourself over thinking the painting take a break and imagine the finished painting as you want it to be then you will have a marker to aim for and not just little steps

I just wanted to try a quick floral before heading in to town, no real plan,

but it came out quite nicely…you never know where the journey takes you

…so just try!

A day trip turned into a quick stop in a lay-by for a spot of Plein air looseness!

Try not to let the environment take over, traffic, cold all manner of things….just paint and enjoy the freedom

A fun if somewhat cold Plein air painting session in the heart of the english countryside. The key is speed both to keep the flow going and to kit warm too…give it a try you may just love it!

Another outdoor moment! Choose your spot and settle in. Make yourself consider the time and keep things moving! Around 20 minutes then get a cup of tea…or stronger))
