I see you used my plastic food box with clips idea for transporting the paints :>)<br /><br />I wouldn't necessarily agree with working to a uniform size of painting - as I prefer to relate the size and proportions to the subject. <br /><br />Working plein air and travelling I would normally work on oil or acrylic paper - so works would be sized on the paper according to the needs of the painting and then cropped at home - resulting in the same uniformity and ease for travel, but more freedom of composition in working.<br /> <br />Often I work square or near square - also long thin formats and they are essential to the composition I want. I tend not to like the standard proportions of A3 etc.vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-86765069815053431662011-08-16T08:40:06.254+00:002011-08-16T08:40:06.254+00:00Lots of great advice and top tips - thank you for ...Lots of great advice and top tips - thank you for sharing.

What a resource and oh what a pity it was posted this week, just after my return from Turkey where I hadn't dared pack my paints in fear of having them confiscated. Oh well, next year :) Also, you were my first alert to the troubles at home - who needs newspapers when we have Katherine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
