Trees, the distant trees or buildings, and your subject can provide enough to block, resulting in a glare effect we expected. Note don't catch too much light, sometimes glare effect is too obvious, so that your canvas painting was completely covers glare. Try to shoot a few pieces first, and then check your images of the strength of the glare. If the glare is too strong, please move the sun properly out of the picture (covered) or more, in order to reduce glare effect.

Method two: light source outside the image

If you want to get a softer, spread more widely glare, can try to separate the light and screen. Usually, the best is the sun was just at the edge of the camera images.
