This is the best plein air tutorial I have found so far, with a very informative lesson. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!

[@janesoncanvas8337]

What’s so helpful about finding you is that you’re giving SUPER SPECIFIC info that guides and encourages. Thanks so much! Great painting and vid!

Roy is a magician with the brush & if you want to be a magician too.. watch more of Roy’s videos! So well explained!

[@PleinAirSchool]

Thanks Justin! Too Kind!

[@dorothyscott701]

Yes it helped! I would love to see more cityscapes and downtowns. They can be so busy that I give up before I start 😅

[@daniellekriner6385]

This was an excellent video! You answered every question I had about getting started. I can’t wait to get out there! Weather is finally cooling off here in southern Arizona!

Thank you very much Douglas!

[@markwalker3957]

I really appreciate that you explain the who, what, when and where if your working process, something other content creators miss. I am hungry to learn more and more about the details of the process.

[@PleinAirSchool]

You're welcome Mark! I hope to get you the knowlege you need to paint whatever you want!

[@lisapelino6618]

I don't normally paint city scenes but I found this very interesting in how you broke it down and painted it. Thank you!

[@PleinAirSchool]

Glad it was helpful! Hope you give one a go if you see something you like!

[@aaronpickens6831]

Wonderful painting and excellent information! I will keep the framing device in mind next time I'm out painting :)

[@PleinAirSchool]

Thanks Aaron, I appreciate the comment!

[@sandyhall7282]

Very entertaining...concise, to the point, great progressions. Graphic arrows, lines helpful. Keep them coming!! Love seeing how you approach the big questions.

[@PleinAirSchool]

Thanks, will do!

[@Susiemoorephoto]

Great video, Roy! Thanks for walking us through your thought process. I love hearing your rationale for how you paint certain areas!

[@PleinAirSchool]

Thanks Susie! Happy to, hopefully my rambling doesn't get too far off the beaten path!

[@Handotr]

that was great. there was a ton of information in that video so ill have to watch it a few times. I like the tip of deliberty figuring out a framing device as i plan a painting. As it happens im painting outdoors tomorrow, so ill put it into practice.

[@PleinAirSchool]

Thank you, watch as many times as needed! It always makes it easier if you can find one.

[@SuzetteHagan-zv4gs]

Love your videos. They are always very informative and full of useful info. Keep them coming!!

[@PleinAirSchool]

[@ktown8390]

I find your videos very helpful

[@PleinAirSchool]

Glad it helps, happy painting!

[@ktown8390]

Just a quick follow up: I found the point about framing devices very helpful. I wonder if there are other framing devices and what they look like? As an aside, I find that many painting demos make a number of points, just sort of touching briefly on each one. I wonder whether it would be more effective to pick one lesson (e.g., framing devices) and go into depth on only that perhaps with multiple examples, saving other learning points (e.g., background values) for a deeper dive within another video? In any case, I find your videos very helpful and I really enjoy your painting style.

[@jenniferkuperman2589]

Very informative and great to watch you work. You mentioned cars' potential ephemerality, so could you provide your criteria for your painting subjects? How do you respond to passers by who like converse with you as you work. Thank you for this great video Roy.

[@PleinAirSchool]

Thank you Jennifer! I find it easiest to work with things that will be stationary as long as possible for getting the design. Things that come and go are icing on the cake and will be put in if they happen to be there long enough. You can take pictures of moving things and use them for studio paintings later on with your plein air piece as a base to work from. As far as people talking to me, I don't mind it now. It used to bother me though. It is a great oppurtunity to hand out business cards and see what the general public thinks about your work. Most people want to tell you about a relationship they have with someone who loved art. I was painting with an artist who is quite a good painter and he was telling me stories of his interactions with people. It was not a positive impression and made me reconsider how I respond to attention. Most of the general public don't know how to interact with artist and why should they? It's not all that common to see someone out painting where I live. If I'm dealing with someone who is real unpleasant, I do my best to keep them moving. Everyone other person is just potential for something good to happen. Good luck out there!

Very nice, good

[@PleinAirSchool]

Thank you!

[@margaretcroft]

Am loving your videos - so concise and helpful. Thanks so much! Curious as to how long it took you to paint this scene? And could you (or have you) addressed your brushes and mediums, if any? When you tone the canvas, is it strictly with oil, oil mixed with a bit of odorless turpentine or linseed oil? Apologies if you have already addressed this somewhere and I just haven’t gotten there yet!

Framing device - great idea. Wondering what your palette is.

[@bradad2026]

@@PleinAirSchool almost the same as what I use except I have alizarin crimson as my cool red, yellow ochre for my warm yellow, no orange and some optionals like burnt sienna and burnt umber depending on the subject.
