(This follows from my previous email: Traveling and Painting.)
A few readers asked how I go about traveling with wet paintings.
That’s a good question, as oil paint can take a few days to dry to touch.
I only recently started using Guerrilla Painter boxes. These things have made painting on location much easier.
I have two 6×8 inch boxes that can each hold four small boards back to back. The boxes and the studies from my recent Hamilton Island trip are pictured here.
The rest of my painting travel kit includes:
– New Wave pochade box (without the brush holder as I only use palette knives for this kit).
– Ampersand gessoboards. A sturdy alternative to canvas.
– 2 palette knives.
– Paper towel.
– Oil paints (limited palette).
That’s it. Less is certainly more when it comes to a painting travel kit.
You can find links to the above on my supplies page.
Happy painting!
