"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.

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.

I really need? to see a demo, for us with “shakey hands” Love what you’ve done❤️ I can only dream. A straight line is foreign to me. 😳

Oh, I'm sure that is frustrating! You aren't along though.

@user-gr2ux2nk5v 11 ай бұрын

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.

I know it’s intimidating, but you won’t regret it! Good luck!

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.
