The One Tool That Changed My Plein Air Painting Forever · Gouache And Watercolor Process

Описание: Why Every Artist Needs a Sketch Easel for Plein Air Painting | Outdoor Painting Gear & Tips

In this video, I (Lukas Damgaard, Animation Film Director and professional artist with 15+ years of experience) share the benefits of using a sketch easel for plein air painting, outdoor sketching, and painting from life. 🌿 Whether you’re into oil painting, gouache, watercolor, or drawing on location, a sketch easel is one of the best investments you can make for your art practice.

I’ll talk about how a portable sketch easel setup:

• Frees you up to explore nature like a treasure hunt
• Lets you paint anywhere — forests, parks, hidden corners, or city streets
• Helps you study different light conditions (sunset, dawn, overcast, golden hour)
• Adds joy, freedom, and inspiration back into your painting routine

I’ll also share how discovering artists like James Gurney and Michael Realth inspired me to experiment with custom-built and pre-made sketch easels. From tripod-mounted easels to DIY options, I’ll show you why the right plein air painting gear makes a huge difference.

If you want to learn how to paint outdoors, grow your skills, and get inspired by nature, this video will give you the motivation (and gear recommendations) you need.
