am using a hiking backpack called the REI Rucksack 28L. It’s large enough to fit all my supplies, easel and sketchbook with room to spare if I’m hiking. The tripod straps to the outside of the pack, sitting in one of the water bottle sleeves. When painting I hang the backpack under the tripod with a carabiner to keep it off the ground and also act as a weight to keep the setup from tipping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/f49e6c36-2c38-4573-8c67-b4ddb18e5b4c/Photo+Jun+17+2024%2C+6+40+10+PM.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Sketchbooks I’ve used various brands and types of sketchbooks over the years, but my favorites are (in no particular order): - Cottonwood Arts B8 Hot Press Notebook - Etchr Sketchbook: A6 Landscape (Cold or Hot Press) - Pentalic Aqua Journal 4” x 8” - Hahnemühle Watercolor Book A6 Cold Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/637275f5-f6af-4633-a8b4-b2869f88de6e/Photo+Jun+17+2024%2C+6+24+49+PM.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Gouache I use a mix of various different brands, with no real preference. I usually don’t squeeze out every color when painting, I decide on the spot based on the scene. The colors I keep on hand are: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/49b3e8ce-1fe6-4d96-9977-be4b2e7c3e6a/ortho_render_plates.png Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Easel I designed the easel with interchangeable plates for either a tripod or desktop/lap setup, with or without a hole for my water cup. The flat area has embedded magnets for attaching my palette and I use binder clips to create additional magnetic attachment points for things like my brush holder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/1716744799193-AM7JHX09U1OLY3NZ6MDG/batiquitas_5-16-24.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/417b09f0-8cca-49d0-87f0-27c20326e0cf/Sam-0262.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Make it stand out Setup in action at a local car show https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/be17fb77-5d26-4e76-a1b4-9ede7b6fb5b8/Photo+Jan+07+2024%2C+8+47+16+PM.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Make it stand out Full kit packed up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/f28a6e24-a691-472c-976d-57e9cfecc7a1/Photo+Jun+17+2024%2C+6+39+11+PM.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Misc A few other items I keep in my kit: - a pencil - roll of tape (for masking edges) - various binder clips - a spray bottle for keeping paint damp in dry weather - Wimberly Plamp II + 12” round photography diffuser for protecting my page and palette from direct sun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/d743085c-2419-4251-82cd-eab9118544b5/Photo+Aug+02+2023%2C+1+25+26+PM.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/181bb1cc-14a3-4a13-b01e-d7e1620d8552/Photo+Sep+09+2023%2C+2+44+29+PM.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/d917f71e-c452-47ad-8b91-a4c5e1d2617d/Photo+Jun+17+2024%2C+6+28+54+PM.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Palette For a palette I use a fly fishing storage box because it’s relatively watertight, slim, durable and won’t corrode over time. This particular one is from Bassdash. Inside I’m using a cut up piece of Masterson Sta-Wet palette sponge + palette paper that keeps my paints damp while painting as well as preserves any leftovers for next session. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/2526155b-c48d-40ca-84d2-aaf8cda57771/Photo+Aug+25+2023%2C+1+51+50+PM.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/a69d35cb-21c1-4041-b498-8cf377e8d657/Sam-0264.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/dee19e9b-5292-46aa-8e67-1f5b5c52e70a/Photo+Jun+17+2024%2C+6+38+29+PM.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Water Cup I use a tightly sealing latching plastic jar for my water as I can be rough with my kit and want to make sure water doesn’t leak or spill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/db678c87-7b67-47b2-b57e-4949b9d172dc/Photo+Jun+17+2024%2C+6+25+51+PM.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Brushes Brushes Text https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ea5477e321401c43e6f312/e5fb7803-4e2c-4876-af0a-9ce94b60e15a/Photo+Jun+17+2024%2C+6+23+39+PM.jpg Plein Air Painting Kit (Current) - Tripod When I use the setup in tripod mode I’m using the SIRUI AM-225 Carbon Fiber Tripod with an Arca Swiss compatible ball-head.
