What’s in the box?

What’s in the box? A look at my sketching paintbox.
photographs shows Andy's outdoor painting kit. A satchel, sketchbook and art paintbox

Those that have been watching my Youtube videos or other social media posts may have spotted me using a small and compact painting kit whilst out and about. So, What’s in the box? This is my sketching paintbox. Several viewers have asked me about it. So in response to that I have just posted a new film on the channel to answer that question. I realise that there are many budding artists out there and maybe this short film will inspire you to get out and have a go at “Plein Air” sketching. And why not? It’s good fun and a great use of your time out in the fresh air.

Try timing yourself as well, allowing 15-20 minutes per sketch. This concentrates the mind but does not allow you to overwork a sketch. The more you do it, the better you’ll get. If you sketch like this yourself then why not leave a comment below, it’s interesting to share different methods and experiences.

Feel free to ask any questions about this or other kit that I use in my paintings and why not have a look at some of my sketchbooks here.

Thanks for reading.

  1. Very good rundown on this excellent piece of kit Andy . I am looking at setting up my own colour palette and as l love the colours you use could you possibly give me a list of about 12 colours that would be ideal for landscape painting . Many thanks .
