About The DC Metro Plein Air Painters Art Meetup

What to bring for Plein Air painting:
An easel (French Easel is best) or some device to hold your work. This could be as simple as a fold up table or some type of stiff surface like a piece of plywood that you rest on your lap or on the ground.

A surface to work on, paper, board or canvas. Gesso the surface if you work with oils, and well as with possibly other types of materials, but I am not well versed in other types of media. Tone the surface, it is better than a pure white surface

Some type of solvent, I like Gamblin's Gamsol

Brushes

Paints - at least the basics (red, blue, yellow) along with black or white. Again Gamblin is a good brand, as are others.

Rags or paper towels

Optional:
Chair

Stand oil to think your oil paint

Palette knife, use to scrape out an area (with oil paints mostly) that is not working

An umbrella or hat, along with sunscreen

Drop cloth if you are real messy.

Anything else?
