James Gurney paints an autumn street street scene using watercolor and gouache. He shows how he tries to keep in mind the big tonal masses before he concentrates too much on the smaller details. This way of plein-air painting works for quick sketches or more finished compositions. My blog: gurneyjourney.blogspot.com
