I'm excited today because I've ordered some new plein air painting kit. I know you think I have it all already and it's true I have quite a range but in the end I knew I'd have to turn to America for the best in lightweight and portable. There are times when I need to be able to fit everything in a rucksack and carry it on my back. I've ordered the 11" x 14" palette/ panel holder which holds panels any height and from 5" to 20" in width. That's the kind of flexibility I was after. (My little Rover pochade is easy to carry but I'm restricted to 6" x 8" panels)
I considered the 'optional wine cup holder' but wasn't altogether sure it would hold my coffee cup so....

Haidee, I love these sketches, and must try the bit of wash you have put into some of them for myself, it looks great (when you do it!). Are those camo trousers that Oscar is wearing? Aren't your models good to "just stay like that for 10 minutes". I did a couple of quick oils of my niece last week, and will try to post them soon.
ReplyDeleteYes they are camo trousers! I use promarker pens in different values of grey and the sketch at the bottom is just fine line pen and a watercolour wash. I look forward to seeing your niece paintings!
DeleteHaidee, you have a good feel for line drawing and figure work, really good to see sketchbook work sometimes as well as finished pieces. Will be interesting to read what you say about your purchase from Open Box, just looked at the website...
ReplyDeleteThank you Nigel! I should show drawings here more often, I don't know why I don't as I love to peek inside others sketchbooks! :-)
DeleteJust beautiful work Haidee! :}>
ReplyDeleteThanks Ant!
