Sharing more of my set up and pre painting process here!
Here’s my plein air agreements / co creation with the land list, an excellent guide if you’re drawn to leave no trace practices!
1. Set up blanket or drop cloth
2. Stabilize easel using your own weights if possible, weight down middle and corners
3. Cover mediums unless actively using
4. Press down paints in palette box
5. Paint on trail or close to trail as possible, try not to set up on vegetation or crypto soil
6. Pack it in pack it out!
7. Perhaps set an intention, cultivate gratitude, generate an internal offering and engage in mindful breathing/ walking to deepen connection to the subject and increase focus!
