Smith discusses his lack of studio work, emphasizing the importance of executing pieces rapidly outdoors to maintain the essence and vibrancy of the landscape. He reflects on the unique joys of outdoor sketching, describing vivid scenes filled with dynamic color and life, while sharing practical tips on selection, composition, light, and mass that are essential for conveying the true spirit of the environment in art.
