I'm just getting into plein air painting myself (mostly from a fine art perspective) so seeing Justin's process was wonderfully positive. I often struggle internally with the idea of how realistic a scene should be. It can be easy to feel like if something isn't perfectly realistic it's "wrong" so I think this idea of 'stylized reality' is what many artists need to hear. I think maybe making a lot of decisions and feeling confident about them is also an important part of the study process I need to work on.
This is a great video, I always have trouble painting environments especially cityscapes at night, just feel overwhelmed with that, any tips on painting modern cities! Thanks Tyler!
Great video Tyler and very insightful commentary by you and Justin. Quick question, though: For the initial background layer with the perspective grid, is there a resource that I could refer to to create something like that? Or a library of pre-made perspective grids to use for paintings?
well with every image particularly of this sort has a unique and different perspective you have to construct each and everytime. there are photoshop grid brushes out there but its a tool that only shaves a min or two off. google photoshop perspective brush
Whats the usual dimensions and resolution you work with when doing this style? And do you create a palette based on the reference photo or create your own?
I can't believe how much I learned from this. I didn't clearly catch the name of the youtube artist that Justin said he referenced and got his brushes from though. I'd love to know their name so I can look them up.
He created the brick pattern stacking simple rectangle forms, then he warped the pattern to the surface he wanted it on. Then he selected the pattern (ctrl+click on the pattern layer), then inverted the selection (ctrl+shift+i), hide the selection (ctrl+h), hide the pattern layer and draw in a new layer using a custom brush.

How did he do the brick thing at 11:10??
He created the brick pattern stacking simple rectangle forms, then he warped the pattern to the surface he wanted it on.

Thanks!
