In this new YouTube video, I opt for the brush and dive right in.
The advantage of drawing with the brush is that you can get lines or tones of any lightness or darkness.

If you don't have much time, skip the pencil and draw with a brush
With only a few minutes to paint a man in a diner, I have to decide which tool to start with tool to start with, a pencil or a brush?

Hi, James,
Just a question that I"m often asked. Do you need permission to paint someone in public? I always assumed that if they're in public, then it comes under public domain. I don't usually get permission to capture a subject.
Thanks,
Kit M.
Amazing what years of practice allows a master to do...and call it a sketch!
Hi James, having to work quickly raises a mundane question for me. I imagine you occasionally have the subject that gets up and walks away before you've captured them, unexpected weather or some other surprise that disrupts a session and leaves you with a false start or unfinished picture. What do you do with these pages in a bound sketchbook - just cut them out? Thanks for sharing so much of your knowledge. Doug
Douglas, quick answer is that I either work them a bit more at home from memory/photo, or paint a priming coat of casein over them, or leave them alone——after all, they are just sketches.
