Live Painting

8/9/2016

 
Picture
I'm often asked what I pack when I have a live painting engagement.  I've tried many different setups throughout the years but have simplified things to make things easier for myself.  The main things are a canvas (usually around 24x30 inches), my collapsible easel, a tripod (for my pochade - above), my smock and a mat to place on the floor (I get a little messy).  Inside my pochade I keep:
  • Liquitex paint tubes - I found these small tubes which are fantastic for packing
  • a spray bottle with water (the lid is great for mark-making)
  • stencils
  • hand carved rubber stamps
  • small rubber brayer & Starbucks cards for covering canvas quickly
  • different sized brushes (including a stencil brush)
  • brush washer (which has a lid so that I can bring water if required)
  • 6x8 inch stay-wet palette
  • rag
  • small moleskine sketchbook & pen
I love my pochade as it has feet to set on a table, a thumb hole to hold in my hand, and an attachment to add it to a tripod.  You can see more photos here.
