Icebreaker Mackinaw - Painting and Travel

Icebreaker Mackinaw - Mackinaw, Mighigan
Icebreaker Mackinaw Mackinaw, Michigan
Roger and Sarah travel up the eastern coast line of Michigan arriving in the village of Mackinaw City. Sarah tours a retired U. S. Coast Guard icebreaker and talks with an experienced engineer about the ships operations and past rescues. Roger uses oils on a 20×30″ canvas with a focus on a strong composition and subtle nuanced colors to paint the Icebreaker Mackinaw in port.

How do you keep your palette wet for next day?

[@Bansemer]

I have a little wooden box should I put over my pants but that doesn't keep them wet overnight. I really don't worry about those paints drying out at all that's just the way it is.

How many hours do you paint in one go? Ofcourse with breaks

[@Bansemer]

I used to paying for hours and hours and hours on end when I was younger and now that I'm 75 I really limited to a few hours and then I take a break. I'm quite a fast painter and do paint a lot but I do take more breaks than I used to

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Do you always stand and paint?

[@Bansemer]

I have an easel of course that I use for larger paintings and I always stand when using that easel. However when I do smaller paintings I have a drawing board and I always sit down for those smaller pieces.
