This outstanding video shows how to simplify an outdoor Chicago scene on a rainy day into a gallery-worthy painting. Scott's instructions on how, why, what to do, and what not to do are virtually continuous as he paints. His art education and his long participation in the art scene provide him with in-depth knowledge, and he communicates that to the viewer in a down-to-earth style.

If you enjoy painting city scenes or if you want to learn how it's done, this is the video for you. Scott explains his thoughts and actions thoroughly and leaves no doubt of what to do to ensure that a painting reflects the artistic nature of a scene.
