Great video. For forgotten pallet you could probably plastic wrap your spare board and use that. I never forget insect repellent now and spray my hat with it.

[@bonbeechler2323]

Kudos to all the miles you’ve hiked to be this knowledgeable! I appreciate your sharing-so helpful.

[@sandrapowers6099]

Wonderful advice for plein air painting ! Enjoyed!

[@mehmetdagdeviren5706]

Wavvvv, you are a very beautiful painter, you are left-handed like me. Good luck, I'm following you

[@kyststudio-epicartadventure]

There are 3 things I consider necessary to add: a 6” roll Ace bandage. With this you can support a sprained joint. If broken, with sticks you can splint. #2, for more dire injury, a PLB is necessary. Cell phone won’t work in more removed locations. #3, I carry an aluminum splint roll. It’s light , strong when curved, and an Ace bandage holds it on. These things will help you get home safely. #4 Oh, and I always travel with heavy duty bear spray on my hip if I’m bringing snacks. A bear can smell as well as a dog. Mostly they will avoid you, but teenaged ones don’t always know better and can be quite hungry. It can deter a human if absolutely necessary. Prevention is worth so much more than a bit of weight and inconvenience. Happy painting.

[@michaelstrangelove2493]

Thank you!

[@Llamiikins]

This was great! I’ve been hesitant to attempt hiking and doing some plein air painting because of the amount of stuff I’d have to bring, but being able to have everything explained visually is making it feel more doable.

[@MarkDavidTeo]

Wooo so good! I've been painting with the daytripper but now im fomo for the fly on the wall >.

[@AnnaRoseBain]

I'm having fomo for the daytripper, lol! Just ordered one. It's nice to have ALL the options!

[@christinetempleton7657]

Thanks, wonderful and helpful advice.

Love your vids I found out about your Chanel from your sisters Chanel😊

[@huchencourouleau7304]

Oh my,,,, this is overwhelming me!! TMI for sure! I feel like I cannot do hike and paint 🎨

[@meikeimcdowell]

So helpful! I want to try plein air painting on one of the many hikes we go on - we are actually heading to Glacier National Park soon and I plan to paint there! What do you do with the leftover Gamsol/solvent when you have to leave your destination and fly back home?

[@AnnaRoseBain]

Honestly I wish I had a better solution than I do, but I use so little solvent when I travel that there's usually not much left in my jar when I depart. I soak it up with paper towels and toss them, then wipe out the container as best I can.

[@meikeimcdowell]

@@AnnaRoseBain Ah, thank you. I’ve been back and forth on whether I want to bring my oils even though nearly every other medium would be much easier to travel with due to drying time and less mess and probably less trouble with airport security… but oils just blend so beautifully and give me so much more time to work around the panel. I really wish there was a solution too - your paper towel and plastic wrap for brushes idea might have to do for this first try/trip. Thank you so much!!

If you put everything in a wicker box that would be a seat also.

[@mister_66]

😘👍

[@janerickson1642]

How do you get the plastic wrap off of your paints that are on the palette without making a very large mess?

[@AnnaRoseBain]

Hi Jan, I try to stay out of the wind or block the wind while I'm doing it, and I'm just very careful! Sometimes there's a mess... :-p

[@swapneelswami7925]

Hi Anna. 👋 just subscribed to your channel. Good one. Which brand hiking boots do you use?

[@AnnaRoseBain]

Thank you so much for subscribing! My boots are from Lowa and I've owned them for over ten years. It's probably time for a new pair but these are nice and broken in! :-)

[@captainnolan5062]

Why do you use solvent, as opposed to just linseed (and other) oil(s)? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWKtn6qkaZt2gtk

[@AnnaRoseBain]

When I'm cleaning my brush, I prefer to get it actually clean rather than more oily (as in with using other oils). The solvent does that for me, and it also thins the paint more effectively, in my opinion, making a very different texture than what you would get with an oil.

[@captainnolan5062]

@@AnnaRoseBain Just as we don't use turpentine to clean our hair (on our head) when it gets oily, there is no need to use it when cleaning our brushes. Soap and water will do an excellent job. The Masters brush cleaner is excellent. See You're Wasting Your Time Cleaning Brushes // Non Toxic Oil Painting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKHbimZ9qLuoq6M. Also see How to Paint in Oil Without Solvents with TJ Kitts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqWVkqN8nct1idk

[@AnnaRoseBain]

Sorry for the misunderstanding; I do clean my brushes with soap and water when I'm done painting. I'm referring to rinsing my brushes in solvent when I'm in the middle of a painting.@@captainnolan5062

[@michaelwhite8031]

Can l ask was your surname Rose before you were married ? Great work and advice .

[@AnnaRoseBain]

Hi Michael, "Rose" is my middle name. My maiden name is Holsclaw.

[@michaelwhite8031]

@@AnnaRoseBain thank you for replying, l have family with the Rose surname. I enjoy your channel as l was an illustrator for many years in the UK. Thank you for the great work. God bless.

@@michaelwhite8031 thank you for watching! :-)

[@fruitypebbles803]

How do you deal with creepy dudes coming up to you while painting?

[@AnnaRoseBain]

Ha! Thankfully that doesn't happen very often.

Malerei anstatt Fotografie, der neue Trend der USA Bürger/ Malerin en, mal wieder was!!!. Die Bildchen sind nett, aber nicht mehr als nett, ebenso die Motivwahl,,,,! Die französischen Impresionisten malen auch Motive des Alltags...... Mal abwarten, was daraus wird.....
