Great to see ya back in full painting action Danny Nice little Art piece 🎨 it looks Incredible it really turned out groovy nice brother I dig it 🤟🏡🖌🖼🎉🌞
Thank you! I’ve been enjoying just using these three for most of my gouache sketches and I like them. The two flats are by Princeton and I need to check what the small round is. Either it’s Princeton or Winsor and Newton brand.
@@DannySabraArt thanks for sharing...i too am fan of Princeton...especially velvetouch and catalyst also aspen series..your long flats are superb. I stopped gouache few months..was trying acrylics.. but now im back with more interest in gouache
@@DannySabraArt Experiments in Art is so much fun...never a waste as it teaches us something anyway...who knows maybe that road leads to your own style
Hey I'm having trouble finding gear to paint on the go... could you please share some recommendations? Easels, pallets, and other equipment you might use? Thank you! I've been binge watching you videos!
Absolutely. I know I need to make a video on this soon that might explain it better than I can here. Are you thinking gouache or oil or watercolor or all of the above?
@allisonperry1734 right now as seen in this video, I’m actually using a traditional painters palette and taping my boards to it. That way it’s all handheld and I’m fully portable to stand or sit or move or walk without the use of a tripod. The next step you could do and what I might design in my own palette someday would be the use of a tripod Mount on the bottom if you can’t stand holding a palette. The next step up from that would be a vertical palette. I use the Daytripper from Prolific Painter but there are many other models out there. It’s a larger set up and requires a tripod. Lately I don’t like using it because of all the gear but it’s great for large paintings or long sessions. The pallets by NuWave look really promising but I haven’t tried them yet due to the price! You can also make your own like James gurney. Check out his “gurney sketch easel” Facebook group or UA-cam videos. I might make one like that someday as well. Another thing I’ve been doing for gouache lately is a cut out board of chip board with velcro attached and I apply pieces to my sketchbook and it sits on there plus a small water cup and rag. I use this in my zoo sketching video. I use the Portable Painter Micro Palette, also with Velcro. Very easy but not a lot of mixing space. They have a larger palette but I don’t think it would fit on a hand held board so that’s why I’ve gone with simply a hand held painters palette and adhere my painting surface to it. The only drawback is losing the ability to paint with the surface vertically but you do get the benefit of some watercolor techniques and I don’t miss vertical painting that much. But you have to decide for yourself. As for paints I often paint with only three tubes plus white. I try to stick to 2-3 brushes. I really like Princeton velvet touch brushes. But other brushes by them are really good. If you get a large flat, a small/medium flat and a tiny round for details you can really do a lot with that. I have been painting on illustration board or toned matte board as seen in this video. I can cut it to whatever size I want and it frames easily. I also really like painting on cotton paper used for watercolor. It just depends on what size you want. If you get watercolor paper you can get a block and then cut out the paper when you’re done. I adhere the blocks or boards to my easel with painters tape on the backside. Never had one fall off. I draw with a normal pencil and sometimes a fountain pen. A collapsible cup for water is nice and my secret weapon is a “travelers vest” similar to a fishing vest but it has lots and lots of pockets. I can keep all my sketch stuff in there. Others like using backpacks or Fanny packs. Whatever is your style! Hope that helps!
@DannySabraArt It does help, it's useful to know what you're doing. I learn from watching other people a lot but I'm the only person that I know who paints. Thank goodness for videos such as yours. It's very generous of you to list all of that out for me. I really appreciate it. Looking forward to more videos!

@sujanithtottempudi2991 awesome! I’ve been also playing around with acrylics a bit and mixing them as in this video. I want to do that more I think.

@sujanithtottempudi2991 exactly. Every painting has a lesson

@allisonperry1734 I am mostly in the same boat myself so I totally get it! Thanks for your awesome question and support!
