Love that idea of removing barriers to painting! You have to get to the point where there's no more excuses and the only thing that's left to do is go paint!
Excellent video as usual. Loved the tip on using baby oil for hand cleaning. I have been using safflower cooking oil(for soaking my brushes over night) and hand cleaning, but will give baby oil a try. Smells better I guess
Hey Cody! Thanks for all your ideas! I was wondering...what do you do with the makeup sponges? Just remove paint? - definitely much better than cloth rags which drag everywhere. If that's not it then...
Good question! I use the makeup sponges to oil-in the paint once it dries. Honestly I don't use them much while plein air painting, mostly after the fact to touch things up in the studio. They work great for re-hydrating the paint film.
So glad to hear that Susan! Plein air painting has its challenges but if you can push through them it is very rewarding. If you have any questions or need help please don’t hesitate to email me, info@fountatelier.com !
@@fountatelier Thanks! I appreciate that! I did order the little pouch using YOUR link but don't really have the wherewithal to cut my brush handles - LOL! I love the idea of just painting on little pieces of primed canvas cut to size
Good catch! Not sure if I mentioned it explicitly. Since I use water mixable oils when I am out plein air painting I just use water as my solvent. I have a small solvent cup that you'll see in my plein air kit; I put a little bit of water in it and that works for rinsing brushes. Using water mixable oils eliminates the need to bring a bottle of solvent with me when I head outdoors. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
