Love the waterfall! Brings back good memories. Clever setup with the folding boxes. Helpful tip on wetting the back of the paper. I’m just starting to paint outdoors and it’s tricky to bring what you need without shlepping too much stuff. Thank you for this video and sharing your expertise.
Yeah, that would be a fun idea! Australia to California is a bit of a journey. Also, I’m using Arches and Waterford paper. I hope you’re having a great day! How’s the weather in Australia?
I dislike the phrase 'Plein-air', it is so pretentious - it's French for 'OUTDOORS'. Which is easier to say and more understandable to an English speaker. And that is the worst painting 'outdoors' setup I have ever seen in my life. You even state it is awkward to keep from falling over. I made Gurney Easel with neodymium magnets. I can have it on my lap, mount with tripod or a clamped Magic Arm. Paper, paints and water on one board and everything holds in the exact same place, memory muscle. It allows quick and intuitive painting with everything in front of me. I can sit, I can stand. Easy to setup and take anywhere. That setup is also bad on posture too. That ain't 'plein-air', it is 'configuration de merde'.
My word! Who got your knickers in a twist? Perhaps you should take up your complaint with Plein Air magazine and all the renowned professional English -speaking plein air artists who use the term. I challenge you to put your money where your mouth is and make a video demonstrating your most excellent system you copied from Gurney and let us enjoy one of your “quick and intuitive” paintings. I will keep checking your channel for it. Incidentally , what is the French word for kindness?
@@watercolourmark Au contraire, the French have a perfectly fine word for kindness…. Gentillesse. Un peu d'apprentissage est une chose dangereuse. Peut-être devriez-vous prendre plus de cours de français.
@@eirenmist12 OK, it was a jest. I ain't being unkind. I am just pointing out these things, as jokey little quips. I do urban sketching in the UK, and when I do that I mostly paint outside. That may be different if I ever go to France.
@@watercolourmark Mark, I have such admiration for a 93 year old man who makes the effort to share the joy that he has in painting and thereby encourage others. He is an inspiration to me, and I am sure to many others, whatever their creative outlet may be. Sorry, but I just felt compelled to speak up because sometimes we don’t realize our attempts at humor, or jokey little quips, can be discouraging to others. Regards! And much success in your outdoors, or plein air, painting, whichever you prefer. 😉
Those folding boxes are great. Clever of you to turn them into an easel and stand 👍
I love your set up and your painting style. Thank you for sharing.😊

Very nice video
That foldable box idea is GENIUS! I wanna paint with you one day.. I’m in Australia so a bit of a journey. What paper are you using?
Yeah, that would be a fun idea! Australia to California is a bit of a journey. Also, I’m using Arches and Waterford paper. I hope you’re having a great day! How’s the weather in Australia?
@@WatercolorsWithWayne Hot! We’ve had some stormy weather though which has given some relief.
Good job
Thanks
The camera person is enjoying, show what the set up is and the material, we can hear Wayne, you don’t have to show his face.
That’s great. I have never wet the back. What type of paper is it?
I used Arches or Waterford paper.
