John Constable studied art at the Royal Academy in London, where he enrolled in 1799. He also benefited from the mentorship of prominent artists, including Sir George Beaumont. Additionally, Constable spent time in the countryside of Suffolk, which significantly influenced his landscape painting style.
The Hay Wain represents a near-perfect English summer day and Constable accomplishes this by using natural light and painting realistically from his sketches of the scene. As a young boy Constable often went out "skying", sketching the clouds and sky to perfect his technique. One of Constable's most innovative techniques was to create light on water by using white paint as a highlight. This technique can be seen in The Hay Wain as the water from the stream in the foreground is disturbed by the wheels of the hay wain itself.
