Fiona says -
I spend as much time as I can painting, if possible, outdoors.  
Painting outdoors allows me to soak up the atmosphere. At a new location I usually allow myself a maximum of 2 hours, any more than this and the light changes too much. I spend a good 10 minutes just looking before I put a mark on the paper. If I am painting in the village I can begin amongst a bustling crowd of visitors and by the time I am ready to walk back home the village is almost deserted. If I need more time I return the next day at the same time of day to ensure the light is the same. 
This painting location is just on the approach to the  bridge outside the Motor Museum in Bourton-on-the-Water at around 4pm, the shadows are getting a bit too long to continue and although the figures in my painting are placed, the people have long gone.

This is the finished painting.
