This book is aimed at those of you who’ve always been a bit scared of painting on location for the simple reason that setting up equipment outdoors is a magnet for people coming up to look at you and, worse, making suggestions or criticizing. Here, with a minimum of equipment – a sketchbook, a tin of watercolour pencils, one brush, a tiny pot of water or the nearest puddle – you can capture the likeness, colour and essence of your subject without needing easels or other such attentionattracting paraphernalia.
