The workshop turned out to be a transforming experience. Although demanding, she “learned heaps of important lessons.” Ms Byrom says, “I was able to really see and experience what I was painting and convey that to the canvas. I started to paint a state of mind—not a replication of a scene.”
The best weather to do her work is a cool, moderate temperature and “it's nice if there is some sun.” She says each season has its own challenges. Paints may dry too quick on the palette in the summer and stiffen in colder climes.
Not every outing results in an canvas oil painting. Ms Byrom makes use of her sketchbook. “I do a lot of sketching when I am on location. This helps me make a choice about my composition and it is often the case that there is more than one good painting that can be produced from one location.”

In painting, the existing that represents the fantastic is called surrealism. It is an artistic existing, which emerged in Europe after the First World War, whose purpose is to explore the unconscious mind, celebrating the virtues of the irrational. Surrealistic painting is meant to trigger nervousness, to frighten through a strange feeling that reveals the unexpected.
Taking into consideration that the fantastic image, which is the effect of dream and reality, is more relevant than the extraordinary reality, surrealistic painters look for unconsidered connections between real things, which they produce in a realistic manner. However, the whole work does not belong any more to the reality, but to a rambling imaginary world.
Surrealism proves to be the most representative existing that comprehends the fantastic in its complete form. The mysteries that plastic artists try to represent, especially painting - part of arts that can reflect the most evidently the mystery of the artist - will be presented through intertwining of crowded networks of images and analogies. They will try therefore to capture the depths and the enigmas of the reality in its plenitude and in the misty shapes, exploring all the facets of the real world.

There are hands free devices allowing the user to take paint off by mounting the gun on a stand such that you can use both hands. Paint stripping with an Infrared heat guns is particularly beneficial on older buildings where it is recommended because the paint is removed using a mild process and actually rejuvenating wooden substrate making it the most environmentally friendly way of stripping paint.
