Plein air art: the essentials for working outdoors
Working outdoors demands a different kind of kit. Lightweight, portable and ready to set up anywhere, plein air supplies are designed around the constraints of working outside: changing light, limited space and the need to move quickly. DeSerres carries everything needed to paint, draw, sketch and journal in the field, from travel-sized sets and compact sketchbooks to folding easels and canvas panels that fit in a bag.
What to bring on your next outdoor session
The right selection depends on your medium and how far you're going. Acrylic and oil painters will find compact tube sets and portable supports suited to working on location. Watercolour and gouache travel sets are among the lightest options, ideal for sketching trips and extended travel. Drawing and sketching supplies cover pencils, pens and sketchbooks for quick studies and detailed observation work. Travel journals offer a structured format for combining writing, sketching and painting on the road. Canvas panels and a reliable easel round out the kit for a complete outdoor studio setup.
