- My Plein Air Kit Just Got Better | Plus A Demo.
This video follows on from last week's tutorial where I discussed with you all the contents of my kit bag and my En Plein air supplies.
Well, I made a couple of new alterations that I wanted to share with you all, along with a demo at the end now that I have Clarabelle back for a short while.
Enjoy.

An alteration I have made to the mint tin box works well for me. You may have noticed the top is slightly larger than the bottom. The tin is thin and the hinge can be defeated to liberate top. I affix two small magnets to the top at the hinge with an epoxy resin, filling the holes where the hinges were. Now the second top fits under the bottom and you have two mixing pans and your pan pallet in one slightly thicker tin. Remove the top from underneath and stick it to the original tin with the magnets.
A new addition to my sketch kit is the top of a 100% cotton white tube sock, rolled up onto my left wrist for wiping off my brushes. Comparable sweat bands are over $10US but I was able to buy a pack of 6 pair of white tube socks for less than that and have the rest left over for my students!
I'm such a sucker for watching people sort out the paints that they carry into the field. 🙂
Thanks for the instructions for the palette/easel, and thanks as always for sharing this content.
Hey Jay, my great pleasure, cheers P
Having watched your video two weeks and having tried to juggle paint box, sketchbook , water pot etc in the freezing cold on Saturday- i realised what I needed to do. Demolished old clip board, bought magnetic tape off Amazon- cobbled something very effective together!! Thanks so much for the ideas!!! Sue beginner urban sketcher
I love the way you show simple and inexpensive ways to make travel painting.
lovely video! and thanks for the idea about the tripod mount!
That little homemade watercolor kit using an Altoids tin is so cute! Definitely going to make one. I have a Bob Ross mint tin my husband bought me for a gift last summer....... I'm going to use that 😊
I routinely breakdown and sort thick cardboard to use just to tape down and 'stretch' paper, and just keep that mounted stretched paper at the ready for when the motivation strikes - not plein air, just at home in my art little room. I always love seeing these types of DIY videos, so thank you for this!
I love all of these ideas. Thank you for sharing them. I've seen a clever idea with regard to carrying a rag. You cut the top off an old sock and when you are painting you put it over your wrist, much like the sweat bands so popular in the 80s, and then you have a very handy place to clean your water-brush. I can also be wrapped around a small sketchbook, like the one that fits in your pocket, when not in use.
All great tweaks Chris, thanks for the comment, cheers P
Hi Paul, I wished I had you as my art Teacher back in the day, even though he was very helpful, you do have that calm & warm personality and I'm certain I could have learnt so much from you, especially as I had a habit of constantly asking questions if there was something I wasn't sure of. The strange ironary is even though I loved art at school but I never really buckled down and took it seriously but it's only been these last 7/8 years that I began to take it seriously as a hobby, it's so relaxing and your videos are so helpful and informative aswell as practical. I wish you great health and continued success of your brilliant channel, Take Care Buddy!!
🎨 Beginner here... what useful, wonderful information! Affordable, too!!!
Brilliant ideas!
I thank you for sharing them! I realize that I have everything to make a small travel kit.
I am making one now. 😊
Great video! Another way to cover your support board would be that adhesive backed vinyl that is used with popular cutting machines (Cricut. Silhouette, etc.). It can sometimes be pricey, but I've also come across smaller rolls at the dollar store. The fun part is that it can also work for your hinge.
That is another fantastic idea, thank you, cheers P
Thank you, this was a wonderful idea! I was thinking about putting together an Altoid mini tin as my pallet, but I'm rethinking this now after seeing the color choices you made. Thanks again!
Lots of great idea's thanks
Awesome system!
Thank you for such practical and cost effective ideas!!! I’m a new subscriber!
lightweight and frugal! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Love this idea Paul, such a neat and compact way for sketching outside. You've definitely inspired me to make one of these to take to Cornwall later in the year...no excuse now for not sketching!! Great little demo too of a scene I see most days. Yet again, no excuse now for me not to try this before I start work.
Thats cool Wendy, enjoy and as you say no excuses cheers P
Big,big thumbs up. I enjoy making “things” and seeing the solutions that others come up with. Amazing what one can do with cardboard.
I was working on one already and was trying to have it similar in size of my Arttoolkit folio with the homemade art journal. With the fold horizontal or vertical I could not make it work. Then I seen your slot at the bottom for the journal to slide in and that is what I needed and it works perfectly now. The only thing I added was magnetized pop sockets on the back to hold it firmly between my thumbs and index finger. It has magnets which holds the board and doesn’t allow it to fold. Then another between the index and third. Thank you for this I finally got it!
I am so happy tht it was a help to you, cheers P
White,cool and warm red, yellow and blue and white is enough for me.
Ah, dear! The rather lengthy comment I left earlier this morning seems to have disappeared. (Maybe UA-cam didn't like that I added a link for the palette hardware?) At any rate, I don't have the energy to re-write it but just wanted to say in case you didn't see it that I really enjoyed this video of yours. Best, L.
UPDATE: I just figured out that the above comment wasn't deleted after all, as I didn't know that you had two channels and had mistaken one for the other. My mistake! 🤦
@@LauraGYoung Hi Laura, thank you, yes I have two channels one is watercolour and one is a mobile studio for plein air. I felt that the two kit bag videos were important to add to both channels and add the plein air demo here. cheers P
Just found your channel - I’m working on mine😂😂
A suggestion. I buy pen loop that have an adhesive tab that is made to attach to a journal. The 3x5 pentapic Agua journals already have one pen loop. I then make a paper palette on Yupo, with dots of tube watercolor that folds up an fits in the back pocket of the journal. I take one fountain pen with permanent ink, one water brush and a cut off sock that fits under the elastic. This whole things fits in a placket. The palette clips to the back of the book. Very compact and goes everywhere with me..
That paper pallette is a brilliant idea TY xx
Paul...great video...what are the dimensions (inches please) of your "new" smaller palette in the open position?
I saw your channel, you are very creative and talented
I am very happy to meet your channel because I learned something good and useful. I hope you shine with millions of subscribers.❤ new friend here ❤🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
That is so very kind of you and thank you. I do need subscribers lol, cheers P
I know the paint was new/ wet and it was easier to get it on paper. When they are dry, do carry a mister to wet them or do you pre wet them before you go ?
yes I do wet them up with a spray bottle, to activate them, cheers P
Try three blues three reds three yellows three earth colours
You can make a portable easel out of two sections of a carpenters folding rule and two crocodile clips hope this useful
well worth a try hank you cheers P
Good. It never works out painting tree trunks brown. Black or white works better.
Need bigger pockets mate 😅
I reckon so chum, thanks for that cheers P
Hey Paul great ideas for portable boards for watercolor. I have an aluminum sketch board with magnets taped on and a hole that I can drop a naglene bottle into.
Btw you called us “you guys” a number of times.. guess what.. we are not “guys” . It would be so wonderful if you adjusted your language to include WOMEN! “Hey ARTISTS,, etc.. thanks for updating you language…
"You Guys" is just a reference to the group ...mixed, all people all ages . Its just meant to be inclusive 🇬🇧.....so its a shame you were upset.
Paul, come to Islam n success
