Travel Painting – an Ultimate Guide (1-day/3h Workshop)
“I am never alone when I have my sketchbook: it is my most loyal companion, a trusty diversion, and my visual memoir.”
Learn how to effectively consolidate your oil painting materials into a complete and compact kit!
In this workshop, we will prepare your sketchbook for on-the-go oil painting, as well as for other dry & wet sketching options. You will learn valuable tips and tricks for how to pack, shop abroad, sketch onsite, and transport wet oil paintings on a convenient, lightweight scale.
We will also tube and label your most essential oil paints for wanderlust alla-prima and urban paint sketching.
Materials List - Please bring these materials with you.
Watercolor sketchbook (size of your choice) Examples of what Samantha uses: Hahnemühle watercolor A5 or A6 (dark grey cover) and Global Arts Materials Handbook Travelogue Watercolor book (natural linen cover, red flower = 200g paper, blue flower = 300g paper - I prefer the heavier paper and the blue flower on cover).
2oz plastic jar - preferably leakproof. Nalgene is a good material to look for (Amazon, Container Store)
