Grazing in the Sun:Field Study 7x5 oil painting
I came across one of these, longhorns I think, while I was exploring the hill country not too far from Johnson City,TX. I was attracted to the warmth reflected up and into the shadow of its massive form. Maybe I will see him again sometime soon.

Very inspiring dude. Love this painting. If you got a minute can you tell me about the supplies you take with you on these field studies. I'm always wanting to get out there, but I just can't decide what to bring.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kevin.
ReplyDeleteWhen I go outside I have all my gear in a duffel bag(tripod,turpenoid in sealed metal can,paper towel roll,camera,water and snacks) in one hand and my travel easel in the other(which is folded up nicely in a wooden box carrying case w/ handle. The wooden box also holds spare canvas panels, too, even when wet ).
My travel easel, or pochade box, is made by Open Box M. http://www.openboxm.com/how-to/
I've seen other painters use easels by Easy L and Guerilla, to name a few.
I already have my paint on my pallete, squeezed out into large globs and patted down, which stay on the pallete, before I head out the door, (so I don't bring tubes of paint with me)
When I find a scene I want to paint, I take out my tripod, open the wooden carrying case, pull out the pochade box and attach it onto the tripod. I have a side panel which attaches to the pochade box when opened that holds my brushes.
Hopefully that helps a bit
This is super helpful. Thanks Brian. You've me so excited to get out into the country and paint. Keep up the great work.
