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

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!
"70%" and "be a poet not a reporter". Great advice. Loved the video and the painting. I definitely have to get out there.

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

I know it’s intimidating, but you won’t regret it! Good luck!
Hi what type and size of brush are you using for the buildings? also are you using any medium? Thanks ! Love this video.

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.
