Watercolor Plein Air Painting

about 3 x 5 watercolor "Maui Palms"

A small watercolor kit is so easy to take anywhere, anytime.  I can paint a little scene in 30 min. or so from a chair or sitting on towel.  It helps to keep my "eye" trained to seeing the landscape as an artist.  I can always use these little watercolors as a springboard from which to do an oil or pastel painting in the studio.
