Are you interested in learning to do watercolor sketches outdoors? I have included this section to help beginners get started in this pleasant pursuit or perhaps you simply want to know how I go about it, in which case this section may be of interest to you. When painting outdoors, I go for the simplest, lightest, smallest painting equipment possible. In a studio one can tolerate massive mixing palates, multitudinous tubes of paint of every color of the rainbow, brushes of every shape and size and gallons of water. But outside I make it my religion to simplify. Here is all that you really need: Watercolor paper, a few
well-chosen watercolors in a portable form, a few brushes, both flat and
round, pencil and eraser, a small plastic water bottle, a small white area
for mixing color, and a comfortable stool. I will first describe the
materials, and then go on to suggest some of the techniques involved in
sketching and painting small watercolor sketches outdoors. |
