Plein Air Painting with Watercolors: Supplies and Gear

Please respect all rules of social distancing when completing your class project.

Painting "en plein air" is the French expression for painting out in the open air. Plein Air painting is all about stepping out of the four walls of your studio and painting your experience!

But I realise how overwhelming it can be, right from what supplies we need to paint out in the open. In this class, I'm sharing an in-depth look into my Plein Air gear for painting with watercolors and gouache.

This class is a guide to help you set up your Plein Air Gear for YOUR needs without feeling overwhelmed!
