Urban plein-air painter Pete "The Street" Brown shares his thoughts as he paints a London cityscape.
He talks about the difficulty of choosing a motif and his ideas about "mapping out" the shapes with a brush on a piece of toned MDF board or canvas.
The video shows how he builds up the image with blocks of tone rather than with lines defining boundaries.

Clear and enlightening.
I love the dot and dash start of the work. Not outlined, but quick marks eating adjusted. You have shown this several times and it seems a better way to push for accuracy than my usual method.
'knowing that you'll always have problems and never get the perfect painting",
that's a great reminder to not feel pressure when things aren't going the way you want.
Thanks for another great link. I don't know if that's a mis-hearing or typo but I think that should be MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard).
Thanks, Gary. I fixed it and added a link.
