Pochade Painting - Landscape by Antony Bridge

Antony Bridge painting the landscape of the Malvern Hills with the pochade box. How exactly does he start and develop the surface? How does his approach influence the outcome? What are the pictorial advantages of working small?

Go to his web site to look at the paintings. If you are not aware of the small scale, the paintings read as though they are much larger. How exactly does this "scale" experience influence your understanding of the work?
