I started a creek scene yesterday while teaching a student, and today I will be back in front of it trying to figure out what it needs. Your sentence with the words "trying to communicate your intent" was perfect. That is what I need to be thinking about as I start to work on it again... a pastel 36"x24" which really needs to have a reason to be other than a solo show coming up next spring that will be about "Rivers, Lakes & Streams!" Thank you.. I learn a lot by reading your posts and looking at your work. You are a gift!Marsha Hamby Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121453066638558910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478203922242751266.post-34824204839681829502013-12-10T20:14:19.119-08:002013-12-10T20:14:19.119-08:00Coulter easel can be purchased here: http://artbox...Coulter easel can be purchased here: http://artboxandpanel.comTerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100904448552432396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478203922242751266.post-84807958009712569592013-12-10T20:13:49.180-08:002013-12-10T20:13:49.180-08:00Thanks Lorraine~!
I think it was time for a rene...Thanks Lorraine~! <br /><br />I think it was time for a renewal anyway, so I'm not bummed about losing the images. This way, I won't worry about repeating myself :-D<br /><br />As for a plein air set up that attaches to a tripod, I can only tell you about those I've actually tried, and I haven't tried many. The Open Box M, or the Coulter easel would be good choices. Although there are many others that look great. I like ones that don't have a deep lip on the front edge, as it gets in the way when I'm using the palette knife. <br /><br />But if that doesn't bother you, it's a moot point. Brian Mark Taylor makes a nearly indestructible Strada box, which looks pretty cool. I haven't tried any of the Guerrilla Painter systems or the Craftech systems. I'm sure there are pros and cons for any of them, and it boils down to whether you like a particular feature or not. <br /><br />Good luck~!Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100904448552432396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478203922242751266.post-50863042909849363112013-12-10T18:41:42.698-08:002013-12-10T18:41:42.698-08:00I visit your blog often and enjoy looking at your ...I visit your blog often and enjoy looking at your paintings as much as reading your commentary. Really appreciate that you revisit old work and attack it with a fresh point of view. Bummer you lost your previous images—I admire your c'est la vie attitude and could benefit from adopting it myself. I will miss seeing your past paintings, though. I always learn something. Love your work!<br />Can you recommend a plein air panel holder/pochade that attaches to a tripod for field work?
