Plein air set


This is my "fishing" vest. The pockets contain everything I need within easy reach. I have used this for several years. It is perfect for hiking or sketching in a confined space. When I get to the point of adding color I balance my travel watercolor set on one side of my sketch pad. This set up works well for me when using waterbrushes so I don't have to worry about a water source. I make most of my sketchbooks so I always have ones that fit the largest pockets.














But last week I came across a set up designed by Leslie Fehling on her blog Everyday Artist . It looked so much better than anything I have seen. So I bought the pieces and put my own version together. It is a bit larger, 15x18 so my 12x9 inch watercolor block fits. Instead of a sponge I use a wrist band (the black rectangle below the drill bit gauge).



This show the lid from a liquid laundry detergent bottle that holds my fresh water supply.


Here is my brush case, liquid laundry detergent bottle, and tote that holds everything including my board.
