"you'll never nail it"--just like life--what a wonderful artist & beautiful spirit

Years and years after buying one of his "rubbish" charcoals off the street (which i love and is beautiful) he sends me his catalog of paintings. I look at his paintings at least once a week, have tried to study them, and copy them. He has been compared to Sickert. Of all the painters i love his brushmarks makes me smile the most and his compositions are gems. So many great paintings. Pete the Street rules ok.

A few things strike me about this. The main one is just how naturally brilliant a painter he is; another is his resilience, doggedness, hardiness [to weather etc]. I also wonder if he is regularly bothered by the general public much, either in the form of general timewasters, jaywalkers, or even just those lost in admiration and awe [as I would be]. I love this type of NEAC/RA [before it went trendy] style of painting, have aspired to it for years and more or less failed to achieve something like it. For this reason, I admire it even more. I attended art schools for many years, met hundreds of students and tutors and never encountered anyone doing it or teaching it.

The Pete Brown honesty and modesty from a talented and sincere artist. Few are able to articulate the the creative process with practical advice that will inspire others.

Great maestro painter PETER BROWN, I'm só fan !!!!

I love the way his initial washes of colour capture the light and the overall tonality of things. Fabulous painter!

LOVE, LOVE! Thanks James Gurney for sharing this post! Peter Brown does nail it: painting is a process, a verb, not an end result. It is the act of engaging and of creating and deepening a connection with what surrounds us.

I loved watching that scene take shape but it's ridiculous how much time I spent worrying how Pete was going to get that painting home while it was still wet... 😁

Wonderful, insight with honest advice. Exceptional. I've been painting for over 20 years on and off and never had the confidence to paint on location until after I attended your zoom meeting on the Harrogate exhibition. I've become increasingly more drawn into how you work, it really is captivating. I've only done two plein air paintings since and wish I'd done it sooner, it's a completely different experience. Thank you Pete.

While watching this man paint I was seeing another masterpiece taking shape over the years: a beautiful soul that has endured challenges and setbacks but tenacious in the desire to live life to the full.

Peter is an amazing artist. I met him once, he's a true gentleman.

Fully agree with all the foregoing. How unassuming and how much more beautiful paintings often are than the original reality. Bravo Pete and thank you.

Loved watching this! Thank you.

Love, love, LOVE this!! Thank you!

Love your paintings, so much interest and movement in them. It was wonderful to see you at work. Thankyou.

lovely work. Been following for a few years.

Wow! Apparently, this person has painting above all else and no weather can spoil his cheerful mood!

I am glad I have run into your video. I miss doing what the video about and what your saying I have experienced do the outdoor painting wish to do that again. this year. I just need some buyers. Thanks so much.

Great to see you, I first saw you at the queens death day, very impressed with your work

Thank you, Mr. Brown, for helping James help us.

Fascinating to hear about his thoughts and process as he constructs and renders a gem of a painting.

Great thanks so much for the film - to see how he makes his paintings - there's nothing like watching people paint !

A wonderful painter. Beautiful eye... Modesty, manners and humility... An English artist of great worth.

Thank you for sharing this video on your techniques on accomplishing a finished plein air painting

Wonderful - paint everywhere; an artist who obviously lives for painting.

ПОТРЯСАЮЩЕ !... SUPERB !...

What a beautiful video. Thanks :)

Wish I could see Pete actually painting in the street, but this is the next best thing, excellent..

Fantastic! We are big Pete the Street fans from Canada!

I had the pleasure of meeting Pete in his studio in Bath. He is just the coolest guy.

Brilliant, capturing a moment like that with the people walking by is inspirational

Great Stuff pete,,, love the candid breakdown on composition,,,, indeed you have a special talent and are an inspitarion,,,, Thanks for these words...

Hi Pete. I can totally relate to your description of the process as I go through basically the same thing when painting florals. Make me want to get out and do some more plein air though.

Personally I think you nailed it. Love your style. Thanks so much for sharing your process and what you are thinking during the design phase.

Another nice piece Pete, you could seal the back of your MDF, but you may already do it.

Wow that turned out lovely

Thank you so much. I have taken up plein art paintings as my videos show. It's hard as I am starting from scratch. Your video is very inspirational.

Fabulous. I particularly like to see his process and how he explains it. Great little video :)

Fabulous!

Would love to buy one of his work ❤

So inspiring Pete. Love watching you work.

Eres muy amable e inspirador. Gracias.

Thank you

He carries the wet picture on the easel. All is clear now.

🙏

my respect peter

Who is your cameraman, please? How much do you him for shooting the process?

Every american artist even the not so good ones i see on youtube in these kind of videos just spout out a load of incredibly pretentious sounding nonsense trying to convey themselves as "deep" or "profound" and i find it so cringey and hard to watch, so its lovely to see an english artist as i am yet to find one who is not humble and honest and trying to actually share with the viewer and not just promote their 'deepness'.

Mute. I want to see you paint. Not hear you talk.
