The inserted painted area shows the evolution from an ink line drawing. Grouping the shots together by their common altitude tends to preserves the perspective geometry of the objects that have been centrally focused upon.
The opportunity to capture the essentials that fit into a multitude of scenes (in a variety of art works) that differ only by their background painting conditions should be recognized in order to make art of your observations.
All of these images show the birds as seen through the opened driver’s window of a van while I am seated.



Other images made at various times(even the hand drawn image) but from the same approximate altitude (height above the ground) can be previewed and compared mentally to perform an exchange toward a hybrid image artwork composed of various sources.

The act of observation is the point of focus mentally, not necessarily the act of painting or drawing.
The painting or drawing becomes a secondary objective point. How the perception is developed to exclude the extraneous is the critical element en plein air. To remain in control of the medium by requiring of it less than is expected is one way to avoid unnecessarily high expectations that dampens the enthusiasm of the artistic enthusiast.
Work fast and use long encompassing brush strokes with the largest brush that is feasible.
