Painting from memory
Some landscape painters work on location, others from references back in the studio. I have done both over the years. Working en plein air in oils or watercolour, I would essentially paint or draw what was in front of me. I would then take these notes and sketches back to the studio and develop them into more “finished” pieces. For many years this has been my process when painting the landscape and I’ve had very little reason for it to change as it had served me well.
Recently, I learnt of an artist who had a very different approach to landscape
