For anybody interested, a painting box for painting en plein air is called a POCHADE BOX. It typically holds an easel, paint tubes and supplies, palette and even an number of slots to store wet paintings (on canvas boards) until you return home.

Love this video. So brave with that huge canvas. I've used Belgian linen, but not the natural colour. Having that border is so effective. I really like the small passages outside the border. Thanks for the video.

[@CosMosArtistry2016]

Living the dream my friend. Enjoyed this latest journey immensely. As a photographer I love that late afternoon and early morning light. Soft, muted colour and tone merging into brash, hotter tones of the colour wheel before once again withdrawing in to the oncoming night or day. Also, the contrast of shadow and light. It's magic mate, as you know. Followed by a bite to eat and a hot cup of tea. You inspire me Richard, more than any other I have observed on KZbin. Thanks once again. Cheers, Rich.

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Thank CosMos Artistry. You're right, the morning and evening light are something special! I'm glad that I'm inspiring you with my paintings and videos!!!

[@theeaselrider4032]

I do like the paintings where you leave some of the raw canvas exposed around the edges. It gives a real feeling of immediacy to the painting, like it was quickly dashed off before the light changed.

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Yes I agree, It's like capturing a moment in time before it lapses and then moment id gone!!!

[@dfisher8713]

(David FIsher) You've done a great job in conveying the plein air experience and it is really wonderful to see your process, campsite and bushcraft. These are terrific paintings. I really love the detailed layering and tooling. Although, like you, I really like the large works, these smaller paintings can pack a lot of color, tone and detail into a small space.

Great technique Richard and great picture! When you work wit white linen, is it necessary to cover all white parts of linen or you leave some of that parts. I saw that on this kind of linen you do not cover every part of it. May be that the solution for mi is to use some underlayer color... Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@richardmusgrave-evans]

Thanks Marco! I like to let the natural colour of the linen show through in places. Wth the white primer, I might leave a little, but not much exposed!

[@curtstanfield3206]

Fantastic...wow...did I ever enjoy this one. I can't express how much I love your videos and your whole approach to plein air painting. Are you attaching the canvases that have wood strips to the french easel with clamps? And I know I've seen you use panels before. How do you attach the wood strips to panels? Thanks. I'm sitting here in my living room looking at my own RME piece.

Hi Curt, thanks mate! Yes with clamps. I don't use the wooden strips with the panels. Glad you're enjoying buddy :-)

I first thought you were going to paint while in the canoe, and I thought, oh this will be fun to watch hahaha I do have a question, in your opinion and through your experience what would you say is the biggest difference between a sunrise and a sunset for a painting? Great video and looking forward to the next one!
