This a good question because I’m not sure. I work in a variety of styles in oil on canvas depending on the commission and the buyers request. Sometimes I participate in local juried shows and a gallery. If you like, check my website at paulnewsomeart.com. My best answer to this question is to simply start with some ideas on the landscape paintings I like to do. Then I paint a small plein air oil sketch and work on a larger scale finished painting. Sometimes I can find a beautiful spot with the right light and my juices get going. Paul
