I love the simplicity of this set-up. I think we try to overcomplicate things. Please do more of these videos.

[@jacintacesp]

I agree. My sketching is failing because I am focusing on detail

[@zctwenty]

Ooo I love the magnet idea! I don't know why I haven't thought about using magnets before, I just use hooks or sticky tape. This seems a lot more efficient. Thanks for sharing!

[@susancostello8789]

do you have the link to those half pans with magnets? amazon maybe?

[@j.s.elliot7121]

I do love travel palette set-ups (and of course, the doggos - Bostons are some of the best dogs ❤). Thanks for sharing!

[@beatrizlopes1377]

I'm very impressed with this! I was considering something to take with me on a backpack trip and was a little discouraged after seeing some suggestions with good but very expensive, heavy material or, on the other hand, light but weak and fragile material. Your solution combines a compact and easy-to-carry set-up with assured paper quality. The magnets' solution is actually very clever. Thanks for sharing with so much detail!

[@christopherw.3063]

This was great! Thanks so much for reminding me that making art doesnt have to be grand and I think what you are explaining, is to have fun exploring creation!

[@christinefrobose8018]

Love how your filming equipment is so much bigger than your sketching equipment 😜👍

[@RMB.Atelier]

I know!!

[@Mochatribe]

I love this setup! Thanks for posting. I found an old tiny altoids tin and am setting up my travel palette!

[@OneTrueWord1988]

I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for showing us your plein air kit, and how you use it. A beautiful day! 💐👏

[@TheNeedleneuk]

Your park is really nice. Sketching to the sound of the water fountain ⛲️ 🦆

[@RMB.Atelier]

It is such a relaxing place to paint :) I love the ducks especially, and I also love when there are lots of people out fishing. It reminds me of simpler times :)

[@sakama8695]

That's a really creative and practical set up! Love it

[@changchesserly7591]

Thank you so much!! This is brilliant! 🤗💕

[@islandgirl75]

I was trying so hard not to laugh at the incident with your dogs lololl so cute! I've been trying to optimize my on-the-go kit. Since covid, I've been spending much more time painting in the outdoors rather than in cafes, etc. You gave us some great tips and inspiration! :) I'm using the Pocket Palette which is basically a business card-sized palette so I can have my standard 12-color set.

[@teenathomas8562]

Thank you for this video. I’m so inspired that I have ordered all that I need to recreate your setup! Now I will have to practice practice practice!! You are amazing 😊

[@RMB.Atelier]

Yay!! That is awesome Teena!

[@cristinacuencamunoz9692]

Great idea!!

So cute and also practical. Using just primary colours helps too in rediscovering colour.

[@bazzinator7477]

good advice on picking what to paint..thanks.

[@ashleystanley4624]

Wonderful little palette! I will have to try this!

[@RMB.Atelier]

It's so fun! I have quite a few now (I really like Altoids, hahaha) and each has a different combination of colors in it. Love it!

[@brickhouse7401]

Great video. I learned alot. And I love your finished painting

If you went with the bigger Altoids tin you could have a bigger palette (additional blue and other colors as well.

[@nancydb1390]

Your musings about what to paint was quite interesting.

[@barbararivera2380]

Thank you. The magnet idea is genius. I wonder if the magnet would stick to the clip?

[@eaglevision6306]

V helpful. Thanks

[@sophiahodgson85]

I love Boston Terriers! Well done for trying to film and paint with dogs with you, I love that they dragged you off after another dog 😂 I have a MUCH bigger palette so mine isn’t as portable (the 14 half pan tin with thumb hook) as yours so I’m jealous of how portable your kit is

[@Raymond_Petit]

Thank you!

[@user-tp9rb9fh7w]

OMG！！！I first opened this video a year ago, and since then I've been sketching outdoors every week.Then I suddenly remembered this video two months ago, but I couldn't find it. Today I accidentally found this video! I'm so happy! Thank you very much! This video has inspired me in a big way to get out of the house and sketch!❤❤❤

[@rogerehinger6694]

With a little reshaping and creative placement you can get six half pans in the tiny tin. Thanks to Mind of Watercolor for that demo.

[@sublimeister9630]

Great idea…

[@SuperExadidas]

Can you also share the 2 kinds of Primary Colors paints? Which is the Warm and Cool RGB? Thanks.

[@jillam7039]

Great ideas, especially the magnets. I went to the amazon link but it didn’t link anything in your lists. Can you add the specific magnet listing if possible? Thanks!

[@RMB.Atelier]

Here's an updated listing: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XD2X45M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sorry I didn't realize Amazon would have so many changes! Hope you get to see this, these magnets rock!

[@captainnolan5062]

Washi tape (for the border) would work on the size sketchbook you have.

[@Discofoxx1]

Great video. Definitely want to give it a try. Where did you get the magnets?

[@RMB.Atelier]

I got them on Amazon. I'll put the link here because they are VERY strong. Standard magnets are not adequate. And these strong ones are only about $12 for a set :) Here's the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XD2X45M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Enjoyed this very much. How do you travel back home with a wet sketch on your bike? I am doing as much minimalist stuff as possible.

[@RMB.Atelier]

Fortunately watercolor pages dry pretty fast.. especially when you paint outside. And having a bit of sun and a good breeze also helps! :)

[@belias8036]

loved the vidio, can u tell me what colors you used in your little pallette?

Yes :) It is Ultramarine Blue, Naphthol Red, and Azo Yellow(x2)... they are all from M. Graham :)

Great ideas… another KZbinr show how to fit 6 pots into the mini Altoids tin by turn one of them 45 degrees.

[@lindagattuso5166]

What are the precise color you use; blue, yellow and red?

[@RMB.Atelier]

These colors are: Ultramarine blue, Perylene Red, and Hansa Yellow Medium. They are made by Daniel Smith and can be bought together as a set. Search for 'Daniel Smith Primary Set' wherever you purchase your art supplies (I usually find them on Jerry's Artarama)
