I just turn my easel out of the direct sun. Sunglasses are only really a problem if they are tinted. :-)Anna Rose Bainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322593283981299235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1925559605333281866.post-61671704919011592142013-06-12T20:03:44.861-06:002013-06-12T20:03:44.861-06:00Thanks!

It gives me a good jumping off point for what I need.<br />I know that many plein air painters use some type of umbrella to keep the sun's glare off of their canvases, but I noticed that you don't, and in some cases you wear sunglasses. Do you think it makes your job harder or makes no difference? Or do you set up so that the angle of the sun doesn't hit your canvas? <br />Sorry to bombard you with questions :)Adam Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444404950337634800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1925559605333281866.post-89341593827305663172013-06-12T08:31:10.000-06:002013-06-12T08:31:10.000-06:00Thanks, Adam!

It just depends on how much you want to carry with you, and how limited or broad you want your palette and canvas sizes to be. I work with a 9x12 Guerrilla pochade box, mounted to a regular camera tripod. The box holds all my paints (I only use 7-10 colors for plein air), and a disposable wax paper palette pad. I also bring along a selection of bristle brushes, walnut oil for thinning the paint while working, a metal brush cleaning canister, and paper towels. If I'm forgetting anything, you can check out my materials list by clicking the tab at the top of this blog. :-) Hope this helps!Anna Rose Bainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322593283981299235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1925559605333281866.post-13637514934190314832013-06-11T07:08:36.313-06:002013-06-11T07:08:36.313-06:00Beautiful work!

I'm thinking of starting plein air studies soon, especially since I've never really done much with landscapes but I'd like to start incorporating natural light and settings into some of my figure work.<br /><br />Any recommendations for plein air supplies?<br /><br />www.adamdavisart.blogspot.com<br />adamdavis33@gmail.comAdam Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444404950337634800noreply@blogger.com
