My New Miniature Plein Air Set-up for Oil Painting

[@LisaSonora]

so inspiring to see you set up! thank you for sharing - got so many ideas!

[@KariWaltz]

Thank you so much for watching! Sorry I didn't see your comment earlier. I've been traveling.

Love this Kari! It was so helpful. I have opportunities to paint in the winter but pass them up because I don't want to be standing outside in the snow when it's 20 degrees or below. Not only that but as a beginner plein air painter, here are some workable solutions to packing my stuff!

Thanks for this, Kari!

[@KariWaltz]

You are welcome! Let me know if you try something like it. Happy painting!

[@LeslieStroz]

Loved that, Kari! Have you tried water mixable oils? I’ve been using them for over a decade and they’re perfect for plein air! 🎨👩🏻‍🎨

[@KariWaltz]

@@LeslieStroz no I have not. I already used oils and pastels before I started watercolor and have added gouache recently to ease the plein air load, but get effects similar to oils. I will be traveling with art friends to Italy next month and taking watercolor and gouache.Thanks for checking out my channel, I LOVE yours!

Thank You.

Thank you for watching 🙂

Kari, what fantastic ideas! It appears you've thought of everything you'll ever need to create little masterpieces. I wish I lived closer so we could paint together more often. Take care and have a wonder New Year!

[@KariWaltz]

Thanks, Bob!!! I wish you did! Are you by chance planning on going to the Forgotten Coast en Plein Air event in Florida in March?

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Great ideas thanks!

[@KariWaltz]

You are welcome; thanks so much for watching!

Pure Genius! Amazing Kit! #artonthego

[@KariWaltz]

Well, thank you so much! I've painted with it once and completed 3 small paintings. I think I will paint outside more often with this. Let me know if you try something like this.

[@nagridgecreative]

What an excellent set up! Now i'm eager to see your small plein air paintings. Do you have them posted anywhere?

[@KariWaltz]

I need to do that! I posted a couple on my Facebook page, Art by Kari. I'll go back an post them again. Thanks for asking about them. I cleaned out the palettes and am waiting for nicer weather to go out again. I hope you try it.

[@nagridgecreative]

@@KariWaltz I just Liked your FB art page. You have a new fan. I paint with knives and your knife painting video of the floral still life blew me away.

[@KariWaltz]

@@nagridgecreative, thank you! I don't paint with palette knives often, but I do find it quite fun. So glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!

[@KariWaltz]

I just put a collection on my FB page.

lol - "Artistic License" You should add a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card - they usually work, if it's not a serious crime.

[@KariWaltz]

That's a great idea,thanks 👍, I might use that soon. Appreciate you watching!

[@tzisorey]

@@KariWaltz Hopefully won't be needed, but sometimes if you're painting Plein Air and a security guard comes up looking ticked that you've committed the offence of looking at someone's property, you can hand it to them - usually gets a smile from them and a gentle warning.

[@KariWaltz]

@@tzisorey, wow, I hope I don't need it. I usually am pretty careful where I set up or have permission first. I'm going to still use that idea if the situation warrants it. An artist I met at a plein air event told us she got a shotgun pointed at her...she left immediately! Luckily her husband was with her so they could gather things quickly. 😲

@@KariWaltz I do a lot of abandoned farmhouses and the like, and never had a problem. Run down industrial estates, completely fine. Try to do a nice ocean view near some fancy houses, though, even on a public beach... someone calls cops for looking suspicious. 🙄
