Café SceneThe aim of this exercise is to show you an example of how to break the picture into a few large shapes, allowing you to establish correct hues and values quickly across the whole painting area. |
Greenhouse and SunflowersThis is a good exercise to practise in the studio to help to develop your short-term visual memory. It also helps you to discriminate between the important shapes that you need to get down in the painting and those you can do without. |
Free-Range Hens at Low BradfieldI decided to make the hens the main focal point of the painting, as a result of which I chose to place my board vertically, using a portrait format. That way I could include all the farm buildings in the top half of my panel, while still leaving plenty of room in the bottom half for the foreground and hens. |

WaterfallSight–size painting aims to portray the subject at the exact size you see it, by sticking to one viewpoint and using a measuring technique. |
Log PileSetting up your own still life is all well and good, but I’m always on the lookout for a good found still life. Happening upon objects in their environment can give a cohesive and natural feel to your still-life painting. |
Pink Cherry Blossom Against the SkyThe colour of a cast shadow (where an object blocks the direct light) depends on the local colour of the surface it’s falling on, the colour of the light source, and any reflected light which is bouncing in from nearby surfaces or the blue sky. |

With dozens of Haidee-Jo's artworks to provide inspiration to the reader, and clear, step-by-step demonstrations throughout, this book provides both an expert guide to the challenges, opportunities and fun of painting outdoors; and provides an insight into the working methods of this dynamic artist.
