I watched your entire video and enjoyed it immensely. I agree that it takes courage to paint in public places. Your conversion of drawing board to plein aire easel is unique and clever. Good job.
I would suggest you try using Alkyd paints or Cobra water mixable oil paints. If you are used to painting in oils you will find that Alkyds dry faster and are great to use as an under painting for normal oils. Cobra paints can be used same as regular oils, water is used for cleanup and used sparingly to thin the paint. Cobra comes in both student and artist grades, so be aware of that when you purchase. When I am out Plein Air painting I wipe my brushes with a rag or baby wipes between changing colors. (Separate brushes for light and dark paints) The brushes are given a thorough cleaning when I am back in the studio. This cuts down on the amount of solvent/liquids I take to the field. Buy a few of the primary colors of the Alkyd and Cobra paints to test them out. BTW, making your own pochade boxes can be addictive, so be careful. :) Hope this helps.
