Today I went painting plein air in Botshol, a small nature reserve in the center of the Netherlands with painting buddy
Cas. It was a grey day which is nice because it ensures the light will be pretty constant. On the other hand it's also difficult because there are no obvious cast shadows to help to give the illusion of depth.

That's pretty cool. I've yet to try that site-size technique. Very nice.
Thank you Stephanie! I did't specifically use the sight-size method here, at least not consciously. It is a very good method to use by the way since you easily check your drawing against what is there so I can recommend it.
