Painters Tip
When you paint on location you must think about why you chose a location. What was it about the scene that drew you to it? Remember that the viewers of your painting will most likely not have the opportunity to see your location. It is your job to create the scene for them. That doesn't mean copying nature but instead, creating the essence of beauty that you find there. It's perfectly all right to move objects around a bit to get a better composition. If you feel overwhelmed by the vastness use a viewfinder to narrow it down. Do 5 minutes of pencil sketches in various compositions in tiny formats to help you choose the best one for painting. It will get you in the mood and warmed up.
