I thought I’d share something different today; a new
sketch kit I’ve been having fun with. Sometimes I want to knock out a quick
sketch when there isn’t a place to sit down or it isn’t practical to set up an
easel. I’ve devised a hands-free sketch kit that I can use even when standing
in an out-if-the-way spot on a busy tourist street. And it converts instantly
to an oil painting kit if I decide to take things a bit further than just a
pencil study. The photo below shows me using this kit to do the pencil sketch
shown on today’s blog post.
In
the photo of me wearing the blue shirt I’m using this kit to sketch. In the
shot where I’m wearing a red shirt I’m using same kit to create an oil
painting. One of the cool things about this lightweight kit is that it’s so
small. It has a shoulder strap, so I can take it with me anywhere and it leaves
my hands free. Everything I need is stored safely inside: my sketch materials,
my paints, brushes, even my wet paintings. The shoulder bag measures only 8x11
inches and it’s less than 3 inches thick fully loaded.
Here’s a photo of the actual scene that I sketched today,
and below is the full page this study was drawn on, which measures 9.5x7
inches. If you’d
like to have this sketch, click HERE to place a bid. Bidding starts at just $1.
During my Plein
Air Workshop that begins on the 24th I’ll show this handy kit to my workshop
students. If you’d like to join me for that workshop email me for details.
