Plein Air setup



This is my "plein air" watercolor setup for working out in some rugged terrain. It is fairly self-contained and very sturdy. The board is 3/4" plywood but doesn't weigh that much after cutting a few holes in it. I've attached a tripod cleat to the back side for quick mounting on location. The palette has a spot of velcro on the back so I don't knock it off. :)

Yes Lance, it has cupholders! They fit a couple of Shakespeare's cups, but you don't want to be drinking out of them. They are for paint water! I made this board to accommodate a 16x20" piece of paper.

All done! Let's go paint!

Very clever set up! Which palette is that one? I'm looking for a new one that takes up less room.
