All about The Retz Easel (my new easel made for painting bigger outside!)
I demonstrate my new handmade easel. For sale now!
www.tadretz.com/product/the-retz-easel/
I built this easel for the adventurous painter. I have struggled to find an easel that isn’t bulky with unnecessary moving parts, while at the same time being a reasonable price. This easel folds up small to fit in a typical backpack, but you’re not limited to painting small! It is lightweight but rigid. It is perfect for throwing in your suitcase or backpack before going on a hike or trip. I wanted it to stand on its own as a piece of art, but also be highly functional and simple. This is the easel and palette I’ve dreamed about; lots of mixing space, lightweight and small, capable of supporting larger canvases.

The Storytellers
Переглядів 2,1 тис.4 роки тому
www.fivestorytellers.com/ Storytelling is at the heart of all successful artwork. As humans we are all attracted to good stories. In fine art we tell a visual story that conveys a message or invokes an emotion. As plein air painters we become deeply acquainted with a scene and tirelessly study it. It is through seeking to capture the fleeting moments in Nature, that marks the beginning of creat...

Join me as I work on a painting in a local cemetery. The air is starting to cool and the leaves are falling. This was filmed on one of the last nice Autumn days before it got too cold and rainy. Some trees have yet to drop their leaves. Music by The Gentleman Losers, Holding Back the Night

Just saw your show at the Edgewood gallery. So happy to discover your work. Really enjoying your videos and plan to take one or more of your tutorials/ lessons.
It must be hard to paint with gloves on ! Amazing work
Gouache?
does it include a method of carrying wet canvase panels ?
No. But we are working on a wet painting holder. We'll announce it soon.
Nice set up. Very clever clever guy to make those.
Nice design! Looks great!
Awesome!
welp....time to save up some money
How did you construct the brass arm holders? This is exactly what I want to do with the one I'm constructing. Ride and paint, sweet!
Like it very much
Love it. Awesome
gorgeous!
It looks beautiful, I hope you can upload more videos like this, I love it
and what is the tripod you are using?
were this acrylics?
it's gouache i think
This is so beautiful and inspiring. I wish you were making more videos on youtube. It is so satisfying to watch you paint with such ease and confidence. Brilliant.
Is that primed watercolor cold press paper?
How do you prepare your surface, I like it a lot
I think it was just cheap primer on a cold press illustration board.
Could you share your kit....easel and box? Thank you for wonderful video :)

Great video
Awesome Work. I Haven't seen You around. #wow xd
Cool video. I LOVE Charity's work. I have one of her paintings in my studio. I plan on buying one of yours as soon as I'm able. Great video, Tad. :)
Thanks for sharing!! Love the video!
Love this! I could watch you paint for hours. :)
Really lovely video and editing! Epic tripod/set up too! Would you mind sharing the brand's name?
Great love it. Thanks for sharing! 👍🔥🔥🔥
👏👏👏
Dope!
This is a super cool box! Awesome design. May I ask where'd you put the painting when you were done with it? Was it dry?
That one was dry, but for a non-dry heavy impasto acrylic or for a painting done in oils - put a long pointed map pin in each corner and cover with a similar or larger sized canvas board and put 2 elastic bands (or tape) around the whole lot and you're done. It really is as simple as that.
Fantastic. Freedom and graced with deer vision. Deer seer. ⭐️
You make painting in acrylic look enjoyable, I went off acrylics years ago. Lovely painting. Can I ask what the small tripod is that you use, which reduces down to being really short?
I recommend this tripod. I bought it shortly after making this video. its more compact and lighter weight. www.amazon.com/MeFOTO-Classic-Aluminum-Backpacker-Travel/dp/B00BETIVUM/ref=asc_df_B00BETIVUM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241980329968&hvpos=1o4&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17449729291707724500&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005117&hvtargid=pla-439269822422&psc=1
