Thank you for sharing your adventure. Just a warning, plein air painting can be addicting. Enjoy. Recently I replaced the original set of sheets. I keep them in a pocketbook with other art supplies including a palette of sorts with small sections of Peerless paints. They play well with the Viviva. When I gave into the "I want" and got another bag for plein air, I added the spring collection of Peerless colors to that setup. The bag I got is sold for nurses and has all kinds of pouches and pockets. I also got a nurse's clipboard that folds in thirds. Have taken it out a few times and tweaked it. Will let you know how it works out. Thank you for always being enjoyable.

@eileenvalachovic9435 Жыл бұрын

I think some of the appeal for me with plein air beyond the enjoyment of being outside and quite often with a group is that I put less pressure on myself. My outside work isn't usually as good as inside and I'm okay with that.

@revondamehovic3132 Жыл бұрын

Exactly! It's more about the experience. Btw, I've found out that old diaper bags are great for plein air.. especially if you like taking lots of stuff

Yay I finally had time to watch this! It looks like a fun kit to try. I haven't tried any of the Viviva products yet, but this might make it onto my list for next year! I love painting outside! And you're right, be gentle with yourself. I always go into an outdoor painting session wanting to make something beautiful, but when I look back at the painting later, regardless of how it turned out, what I love most is that feeling of being in the moment. I just don't get that same feeling from photos, no matter how much I love them! When you paint something, you spend time with it. Your painting turned out so vivid and lovely, and hopefully brings back cool memories! ❤

giveaway (Canada) I’ve been so curious about the colour sheets as they look so compact and perfect for on-the-go! I think I’d prefer the elastic if it wrapped around from left to right horizontally (instead of top/bottom vertically as it does now) if that makes sense. Then it would be able to handle slipping a thicker book inside (without putting it in the slot). You live in such a beautiful area!!
