A practical and inspirational guide to painting outdoors with oil paints.
Artists who wish to explore the world of painting with oils en plein air will love the freshness and vibrancy of the work in this book – as well as the expert, down-to-earth advice of its author.
Award-winning artist Haidee-Jo explores the appeal of working outside with oils and the enormous benefits it can bring in terms of personal well-being. She also shares her techniques to allow the reader to invest their oil artwork with light, motion and life.

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. |
Be inspired to get outside and paint with oils!
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.

I enjoyed this book so much. Im fascinated with Haidee-Jo’s ability to say so much with so few strokes, so I really enjoyed a glimpse into her techniques.
