From the Back Cover:
(back cover)
Painting outdoors differs from studio painting in that it makes special demands on the artist. Because change and movement within every outdoor scene's details are normal and beyond the artist's control, speed of execution becomes the most important requirement for producing a successful outdoor painting. Constantly shifting light conditions and unpredictable changes in the weather require that the artist execute a painting quickly and spontaneously. This book offers advice and presents exercises for synthesizing fundamental details of a landscape, seascape, or cityscape, using relatively few brushstrokes while omitting those of less importance.
