I always take lots of photos and think I will do more from the photos, but the reality is that there's nothing like being there on location, and I rarely feel inspired to pull out the photos and work from the camera's viewpoint instead of my own! Thanks for liking it so much and helping me to appreciate those magical moments we have when working directly from the source.Jamie Williams Grossmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769196454699941599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077681147259347412.post-14724499696125827732012-05-30T08:33:00.786-04:002012-05-30T08:33:00.786-04:00I love the rich colors of the building...I love the rich colors of the building...Kate (Cathy Johnson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03296053923338246127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077681147259347412.post-30228420741985475872012-05-30T07:29:40.209-04:002012-05-30T07:29:40.209-04:00Raye, I'm so glad I've been able to help y...Raye, I'm so glad I've been able to help you find supplies that help you to do what you love doing! This year I have really pared down my hiking bag to be able to paint and sketch, since I've been hiking to most of my painting locations. I did a big backpack search and found an ultralight pack and a way to carry very little with me. I will do a post on it soon with a "Show & Tell"! I actually have four options for sketching materials. Two are backpacks, one is the Nomadic Wise-Walker Messenger Bag, and one is a large case with shoulder strap that a friend gave me (specifically outfitted to hold all my Pitt Big Brush Pens, Pitt (regular) brush pens, and assorted other stuff). I've already showed the messenger bag in a post, but I will share the others too as soon as I can take some pics and get them uploaded. We find ourselves in so many different situations; no way can just one bag or pack do all the work. If I need to fly somewhere, I take the messenger bag on the plane and pack the lightest backpack in my luggage. When I have the luxury of being able to carry more, I do! Then I use my larger backpack, or bring my case with the shoulder strap and Pitt Pens (and other stuff).Jamie Williams Grossmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769196454699941599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077681147259347412.post-46492628230870084192012-05-30T07:09:57.402-04:002012-05-30T07:09:57.402-04:00Very nice!

Really glad about Stillman & Birn, but scared about how much my messenger bag weighs now (I missed the part where you must've pared your big bag before you went mountain hiking with your husband.)<br /><br />Honestly, your sketches, your supply lists, your travel stories are all inspiring. I've already increased my Stillman & Birn sketchbook stock from NEVER-HEARD-OF-IT to OOOOH LA LA.<br /><br />Really, it's amazing how influential you've been to me in the past few months.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Raye<br />http://supermoonstudio.blogspot.com/The Purple Gracklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822788993677523531noreply@blogger.com
