Daisy paints from life under natural light, using the Sight-Size method. The sight size method has been used by masters since the seventeenth century, including Reynolds, Lawrence, and Sargent, while its origins lie in the practice of Titian, Van Dyck and Velázquez. It is a method of constructing realistic drawings with great accuracy. Rather than focusing on detail, the artist observes the motif from a distance and conveys the visual effect.
