Excellent demonstration of actual plein air use of your setup. Too many show n tells are made indoors, and do not show how hard or easy it is to have everything at hand, laying in your lap or too large to hold in one hand without spilling your water container.

I have been busy making mini watercolour travel kits. My latest scheme is to use an empty pill container. The ones where you push the pill through the foil, in Australia anyway. Making lots of watercolour paper tiny books etc.. Having a lot of fun seeing what else I can use. ❤🇦🇺

💥 SMART GIRL‼️ The board would be a bit more stable/secure, if you used the opposite side… (use the back of it as the front, with the scored/cut side up.) Turn the board upside down. - It’s just the dynamics of it. ▫️ But Dang! That’s brilliant‼️

Hi Mrs. Sunshine!☀️ I’m so happy you liked my this story! You are right! I was trying to change it. And the more I tried, the more it got away from what I was trying to express. It didn’t dawn on me to try to restore it to its original state! If I never touched it I would have been proud to hang it on my wall. I’m going to have to get my oil paints out, brush off the dust and try to channel my inner Van Gogh! I don’t remember if I mentioned it in the video. But this painting was inspired by Van Gogh. I was trying to paint like the impressionists. With vivid colors and bold brush marks. This painting was about the feeling of the sun radiating and touching everything with light. Thank you for reminding that I can restore it, rather than change it!
