I've had a goal for years, yet to be fully realized, to paint large on location. Yet, for about a year and a half it's been the little 6x8 sketchbook...
Thank you so much, Marc, for taking the time to explain your materials and handling of the medium. I now feel confident to fill up the pill/bead containers without worrying that the paint will dry out too quickly! I really appreciate that info! I remember when you began using the Golden Open paints years ago and it sounds like you have just learned to be quicker and more decisive through your so many miles of direct painting practice! Time to jump in!
Love seeing your sketchbook setup, Marc! Thanks for sharing. I am transitioning to acrylics and really struggling with the drying-too-fast time. I've used the Masterson Palette with some success, but I like the idea of using the pill containers as seen in your photo. All the lids are opened and accessible. How do you keep them from drying out during your painting session? If you're spraying with water, won't they become too fluid? Are you using any acrylic medium on a regular basis? Also, is your gouache set up similar? Thank you for any suggestions.
Just love these little sketches! I imagine you can use them as references for larger studio paintings. Have been a fan of yours for a number of years now and really appreciate how you design your paintings. Look forward to more posts! Thanks, Marc :0)

I think it is true that sometimes we all forget just to let loose and have fun! Thanks for the reminder!
Great post! Love seeing your sketches. Thank you for this. You have been an inspiration for quite a few years. Great to see you on Substack!
Love your work and love your little sketches! I'm inspired to try a sketchbook myself, thank you for the info on paints and other supplies.
