Gouache Plein Air | My cheap and easy setup for painting outdoors & what I learned

Hi friends! I finally got a chance to do some plein air gouache painting while having a picnic with my son. I improvised a simple and cheap way (with all supplies I already had) to set up a painting session outside in a park. I hope you find it helpful and inspiring and do some plein air painting as well, because it is extremely helpful in mastering the medium and improving your painting skills.
For plein air sketching and painting, I highly recommend checking out this book (which is for watercolor, but translates easily into gouache applications as well)

[@deannakent600]

Thank you for sharing your outdoor sketching adventure and bravo for taking your 6 yr old along. I had fun imagining myself sitting there too. Your sketch was nice.

The faber castell clic and go water cup is amazing for on the go painting it’s collapsible water cup it’s a convenient size

A useful demo. As a right hander I would have my palette on the right I think. I like the paper palette idea.

[@kkhrysty]

Thank you for checking out my video! I am right handed as well, but I like to keep the palette away from myself because I often dip my sleeves into it by accident.

Looks like a nice spot - I would have a hard time sitting on the ground for that long. Great painting and tips :)

[@kkhrysty]

Thank you! I like to paint while standing, but I couldn't come up with a set up for that because I had nothing to rest my board or sketchbook on and this way I could lay out the supplies on the ground next to me so I don't have to hold anything. Maybe in the future I will think of a better way to set it up for a standing session ;)

So lovely 🌹

[@timrossmultimedia]

Enjoyed this very much... thanks for sharing and thanks, so much, for your efforts. I always wonder what other artists do with the leftover paint that was squeezed from the little gouache tubes. Do you have a system to preserve the unused paint?

[@kkhrysty]

Thank you for checking out my video! Generally I don't save gouache paint because it dries up too much, so I just squeeze a little bit at a time to avoid waisting too much paint.
