Today I didn’t paint. Instead I constructed two wet oil panel storage boxes, one for 8″ x 10” panels and one for 11″ x 14″ panels which are standard frame sizes. Each box will hold 4 panels. Oil paint takes at the minimum days to dry so you need somewhere to put them, especially on the road. You can buy these boxes but they are expensive and only one or two sizes are available. For a couple of decades I’ve thought of buying a French Easel which is for Plein Air Painting (painting outside).
The easel was 40% off so I snatched it up. It’s a popular brand.
Beginning June 1st I’ll be camping in the Bighorn Mountains for 100 days. There’s no shortage of subject matter for paintings, especially on the west side of the mountains.
Did you get some little French socks with the easel?
Hahaha
