Painters Tip
I just got home from a workshop weekend. I absolutely love teaching workshops. The interaction with students is fantastic, and seeing fresh new work is so exciting. Here are some observations for those of you who want to have the outdoor workshop experience.
Pack only what you really need. Painting is hard work and moving from location to location is more difficult if you are not organized with equipment. If you do not have a file cart on wheels, get one from one of the Office supply stores. They are essentially a box on wheels with a collapsible handle.
If you do not have a portable drying box, slotted for panels or canvas, get yourself some pizza boxes in various sizes. They work great.
Be sure that you have appropriate clothing that is comfortable and easy to take off for warmer weather. Your shoes should be very comfortable because you may be standing for hours.
You will need to have spring clamps to hold your canvas onto the easel in wind. You will need a heavy weight to bungie to your easel.
More about outdoor workshops tomorrow......
