Be a poet rather than a reporter.... the best advice when it comes to adding details i have heard in the 3 years i have been painting.. definite sub and thanks for the great video... starting oil painting on sunday when my easel comes... found this right in time...
I love this one! Great saying, be a Poet, not a Reporter! I have difficulties having my canvas in shadow as I can not see it well. You are the first one that pointed out the disadvantage of having it in the sun as the painting turns out darker! When I have my canvas in the shade, my colours are surprisingly bright sometimes. I would love a happy medium.
What an excellent, fresh look at Plein Air! Thank you for this. It is March 1 and I am about to get busy with Plein AIr painting. I really enjoyed this. New subscriber , Can't wait to see more. Thank you Scott! - Gina in Western NC
This was great. In this short video, I learned from you much more than I have from other plein air painters out there. I have yet to go outside in my neighborhood and paint. I'm a studio painter and the thought of being out there intimidates me LOL.
Hi Bonnie, The brushes used were Catalyst, by Princeton - Polytip Bristle Flats, size 4/6, Robert Simmons Signet flat and filbert, size 6/8, Rosemary & Co Ivory flat, size 8. As for medium, I use Gamblin's Solvent Free Gel. Happy painting! - Scott
"70%" and "be a poet not a reporter". Great advice. Loved the video and the painting. I definitely have to get out there.
Never heard the '70% and move on' saying, but I really like! Will definitely be remembering it.
Hi Peg, it will really have a positive impact. Thanks for commenting.
Awesome video
Thanks!

You bet, Jim! Have you gotten out to paint?
Not nearly enough!
Very good

Scott, love your helpful videos. I’d like to make a suggestion for a future video-how to do dappled sunlight. It’s always a challenge.
Great suggestion!
Hi what type and size of brush are you using for the buildings? also are you using any medium? Thanks ! Love this video.
Hi Bonnie,

Monet had lots of sand in some of his beach paintings.
Ha! Good to know. I’ll have to look for it next time I see one.
