Watercolor Travel Sketching Setup - Minimal Setup for Success

  • Опубликовано: 15 июн 2018
  • Let's talk about my watercolor travel sketching setup. With this setup, I'm able to paint almost anywhere at anytime with no table, chair, or tripod. It's lightweight and easy to carry around. I believe this setup will be beneficial for travel sketching for beginners. The hardest part about it is getting good at watercolor painting :)
    Also, check out Marco Bucci's channel, this setup is slightly modified from his setup. He's a great artist: / @marcobucci

    sounds weird, but I buy/use tube socks instead of the rag and strap. I cut off the end and wear the sock on my forearm.

    Brandon. Thank you for this and all the videos. You've been a god-send in my late-start carreer. If you need a dad-what I'M good at-I'm here. LOL. I just made a cigar pochade box that I fit everything into and a killer fold-out chair. Still a pretty tight kit.

    I really enjoyed your video. I feel like so many people get caught up in needing a ton of crap to go out and paint. You have simplified it to the most needed and the most simple to use. That is what you want to paint. Not a bunch of crap to get distracted by. Thank you.

    Cut the cuff off a white cotton sock to pull up on your arm for brush wiping, and if it’s white you can test your color mixes.

  • @Angela-jy8um
    @Angela-jy8um 2 года назад

    The towel on your arm is a good idea. I use a sweat band from the 80s. Those ones that goes around your wrists and forehead. I used the wrist ones and wipe my brush on it. Works great. Washable too.

    The masking tape URL leads to a $8.69 roll of "artist" tape. Michael's sells decorative tape (decorated w/little quirky colored designs on tape less adhesive than masking tape) that sells at $1 for two rolls. That's supposedly a "sale" price but my Michael's always seems to have it in stock at that price. I've been using it for some time now. It never tears, falls off the paper (even when wet w/water or paint) and best of all - it has never ripped away even a tiny sliver of paper when removed (which regular masking tape did incessantly no matter which tips or tricks I used). In Paris, I asked a gendarme, "How do you get to the Louvre?" He replied, "Keep painting!"

    You could also use a wristband instead of the washcloth. I saw that on another video and it really is a genius idea

    • @SchaeferArt
      @SchaeferArt  2 года назад +1

      That's a great idea, if you use a cotton wristband, etc. I don't know how long they would last compared to a washcloth. Also cost is probably an issue as well. Just things to consider.
