I hate to be pedantic, but it's pronounced -plan- air. French. Please don't be offended! I've been doing this for fifteen years full time and carry even less than you. Usually I stay fairly local and just do one painting at a time, so I don't take a pochard or painting box. I can leave the painting on the easel and take it home carefully, This way it's possible to work much bigger if the need arises. Baby wipes are excelent for cleaning brushes (and clothes) If that is your work behind you it's very good. Keep it up!

hey! Great video, thank you! I got a bunch of plein air stuff a while ago incl a pochade box, wet panel box and a box to hold my paints that can be connected to the tripod. ive quickly realised its way to heavy and i dont bother going out=P I would love to know where you bought your wet panel box (mine is in wood, and way too awkward. (crossing my fingers that you got it somewhere that ships internationally=P. Again, very inspirational video, thank you!

I do carry a jar with a home-made brush cleaner in it. I also do not carry an easel, I use 2 folding stools, one for me and one for my pleine aire box. My box is an altered design that serves as an easel to hold my canvas panels and my materials fit inside it. This box fits in a small backpack with paper towels, and I carry the stools in a free hand (my back is wasted, so standing to paint is out for me. Love the videos Brandon and keep them coming!

What kind of pochade box is that? It looks older. You are way more minimalist than me! I tend to pick places to paint that are not too far to hike to, and have a little rolling foldable cart that isn't too heavy. I also have a -back up- kit that is a cigar box pochade with pastels and small sketchbooks that fits in a shoulder purse for quick getaways. Sunscreen and bug repellant!

Thanks for an encouraging video. Nice and light packing, similar to mine. I decided to use small gouache tubes. Quick drying and only need a palm size mist bottle to keep my small palette damp. Small pre-cut canvas pad paper makes it all fit into a small bag. This is only the second video I've seen of yours and I'll keep watching more. Thanks for the good production too!

A nice bottle for transporting mineral spirits, Gamsol, turps etc, is a 4 oz. travel size eye lens contact solution bottle, cap pops right off, fill, hit the cap back on with a rubber mallet and your ready to paint! And of course be sure to mark all over it stating that it's not intended for your eyes! You never know who might grab it.

I find deciding which primaries to use for plein air hard as I live in an area where the weather can change v fast and cold versus when you need to mix a warm colour or vice versa make it tedious for me - spend longer getting colours right than painting and the light then changes and the mood passes. Love your videos btw!

Same as you, but I use a French easel. I include sunscreen. I need an umbrella, but then it's getting to be too much stuff.
I love that besides walking, you also ride your bike.
In CO, there's a skiing artist that takes stuff up the chair lift-he has a 2nd person bring some items.
Thanks for sharing.

When i go by car- i usually take a lot of oil painting stuff, a huge suitcase with all supplies and tripod in it.
And i just can't understand how people find enough space in there back pack. In the case i go to plan air without car, i use watercolors
