Randy presented very useful information regarding supplies and suggestions pertaining to plein air artists at the December 2011 (held in November) meeting. He reminded artists that one needs to plan ahead with a light, portable studio. He shared with us his Hellman Design Pastel Backpacker Box with a tripod mount and fitting for a portable easel.
He shared tips on carrying a good selection of half sticks between pieces of memory foam cut to size in a light plastic case. | | Wildlife Show Award Photos 7Nov2011
