Keep in mind that this is a
plein air workshop! What this means is: Everything should be portable. You
should be able to carry everything in ONE trip. Think ahead to what you might
need in the field - remember - you still have to carry whatever you
bring in ONE trip. Most likely, we'll be walking very little distance from the
car.
Spokane Art Supply will be at the Festival with some art supplies
Checklist for Non-Painting Plein Air Essentials: you might want
• Something to sit on, such
as a small cushion - a fold-up chair - a blanket • A small table or TV tray
• A beach umbrella • Backboard for
painting on • Easel - it should be
portable and lightweight • Wear neutral
colored clothing (creams, beiges) rather than white which can reflect too much
light onto your painting or bright colors which can reflect some of their color
onto your painting.
• remember to take some sunscreen,
sunhat and sunglasses • Insect
repellant. • Dress in layers that you
can easily take off as you get hot (and put on if it gets colder). • A bag to put rubbish in • Large plastic bags can be useful as an
emergency rain shield.
• A camera is useful for recording the scene in case you want to
finish or work on the painting back in your studio.
