He gives tips on handling vehicles, windows, power lines, street poles with an emphasis on negative shape making and alluring shadow patterns.
In Awaiting the Holiday Train he discusses how to handle nocturnes in watercolor. Unlike typical landscapes the initial approach to lights is different. He talks about using high contrast and values to create the appearance of illuminated lights. There are also tips on how to keep focused, confident and always improving our observation skills when handling crowds of people and painting gestural figures with brushwork that remains lyrical and not stiff.
In Afternoon Surfers he puts an emphasis on painting figures, using simple light and shadow, and edge control to describe form. He also talks about design and placing your main area of interest to engage the viewer while adding in useful tips for painting trees and water. He gives key points about when not to be dependent on a reference and when to use our knowledge as a point of departure. It's his signature of suggesting "more with less".
