Very nice 👍🏻
simple, compact and well explained...thanks!
Thanks Linda! :)
Love that DIY brush roll! The color assortment is very succinct and efficient with a broad range of mixing solutions. Any advice for artists using an easel like this outdoors when it's windy?
Thanks, I’m glad you like it! 🥰 Windy days pose a bit of a challenge. I think working small helps, but if the wind is really strong then I usually need to hold my pochade box down with one hand while I paint with the other!
If you use a camera stand with a hook underneath that takes a weight, you can hang your bag from it.
Simpe and complete. Nice.
Thanks!
very good comprehensible and straight forwards video Christina.
thanks, glad you liked it!
When I use acrylics or gouache, or any water based medium, I like to bring on old Nalgene, or similar wide mouth water bottle or airtight container to dump my paint water so I can dispose of it at home depending on where I am. Not sure how bad the paint water is for the earth, but I've always felt weird about just dumping it on the gournd.
That is great to hear! I use the metal jar for the same purpose. As painters it is important for us to dispose of our waste responsibly :)
Excellent video and set up. I also like to include a pair or two of nitrile gloves to keep my hands clean. Since I often have strangers approach me while I plein air paint, I always have business cards ready. My set up includes a painting knife, as well as a painter's umbrella to keep my painting and palette in the shade. I carry pretty much all of it in a backpack.
Ooh I like those additions, thank you!
@@christinakentart And I like your work as well as your videos. I especially like the videos where you paint plein air.
Love this! I have the larger u-go but I feel like it’s too big sometimes. I like the size of yours and the smaller tripod.
Thanks! Yeah I like this size. When I paint plein air, I usually am working in about a 6x6 size, although I've gone up to 8x10 with this setup and it worked well :)
Really nice and simple.
Thanks Maura :)
Thank you! :)
thank you for sharing! i've been doing some research for plein air painting as well and so this was very helpful :)
Yay! Glad it was helpful :) happy painting!
I love the sushi bag 😂❤
Nice!!
Thanks :)
Thanks for the video. How do you clean your rags after they've dried? They're ok to use again as is? Or do you wash them? They dont catch on fire? Thanks.
That's a good question, and honestly I don't have a great solution... I don't wash them, and gradually they get more paint on them until I can't use them anymore. And you raise a good point about catching fire - I have heard the same thing. Really it is best to store rags like these in a glass or metal jar, for that reason! Or if someone else reading this has a better idea, please chime in! :)
@@christinakentart the trick is to keep oxygen out. Fire needs oxygen. You could have a small bottle of water to keep them moist until you get home. That would also keep them from combusting. I'm no scientist, just relaying ideas I've heard of in the past;). Thanks for your video!
Thank you! Very informative and inspiring. What size panel do you like to use when plein air painting? I think I read that the u.go medium can hold up to 10" vertical, but it looks like your videos show maybe 5" x 7"? Just curious if you prefer smaller sizes for outdoor painting on the go?
Good question! Lately I’ve been painting small for plein air, so around 5x7in or 6x6in. I’ve used an 8x10in panel for this setup as well and it worked. Haven’t tried large, but I think you are right that 10in vertical is the max.
@@christinakentart thank you! I really appreciate it!
Really like the set up. What made you decide on the U-Go medium? Would love to see a setting up video.
Thanks Doug! I chose that size because I wanted something small enough to fit in my backpack, but that also had a decent-sized palette and could support small to medium panels. What about you, do you have a preferred pochade box/plein air setup?
And that's a good suggestion! I'll try to include the set-up in my next plein air video :)
Excellent! Can you please share the exact dimensions of the view finder - the over all Length and Breadth and the view finder opening length and breadth. Thank you. Regards!
Thanks! I actually just lost that one :( but I made another one, 6in x 6in with a 2in x 2in opening in the middle
@@christinakentart Thank you! It will be of great help.
Do you have the name of the light you use? Does it work well? Light is such a hard thing to find that perfect goldilocks one. 😂 Thanks for sharing!
For sure! It’s a music light by Glocusent. I like it!
@@christinakentart thank you
