The following are recommended for painting outdoors.
For Painting
- easel (optional, some artists are happy to work on their lap or a table)
- palette (I use a piece of white cardboard plus wax paper & tape or sticky tac)
- spray bottle of water
- paint – watercolour, or acrylic [Note: for acrylics, the “Golden Glazing Medium” that slows drying is recommended]
- brushes
- container for water
- paper or canvas, some larger (1/4 sheet wc or 16″x20″ canvas) and lots smaller (8″x10′) for sketches
- paper towels or cloths, plus some small plastic garbage bags
- drawing implements, eraser, pencil sharpener
- sketch book, and paper and pen for notes
- photo references to paint from
- box or small folding table to set water and paint on (optional)
