Hi everyone! I've been working on developing this video for about a year! Putting together my travel/plein air watercolor bag has been a blast. I hope you enjoy this peek into what I have put together. The presented materials in this video represent hours of antique store hunting, Etsy and Amazon scouring, and building and re-building some of my equipment, yes with power tools.
If you've been wanting to get out there and do some light plein air work without hauling the heavy equipment, perhaps watercolor plein air is for you! I want to encourage you to enjoy the process of your own unique treasure hunting for things that will work.
