For me, the best part of painting has always been working in front of the subject. In a curious way it’s a situation that forces decisions – in both senses I am on the spot. One particular painting demonstration has stuck in my mind. Last year, whilst taking a The Artist holiday in Puglia with Spencer Scott Travel, I’d been talking to my fellow painters about my delight in painting as the light moved from afternoon sun to electric light and dark sky. An informal demonstration followed as we walked into the town after dinner.
