In answer to an often-asked question;
I have painted outside, but find it is seldom without it’s drawbacks.
It is full of distractions, the pesterings of man or beast
and the ever-changing sky and shadows.
Therefore I take my own photos for reference, only occasionally make sketches and conduct them (often from accumulated reference) in my studio.
Many of my viewing positions are also rather difficult to paint from.
What is more; oil paints simply do not dry quickly enough for the sponanuety of the scenes I wish to capture. Trusty little camera at my side …
In the end I render them as loosely as if I were sketching that moment,
in all it’s glory, in full colour.
