These are the supplies that I wish I had when I started painting. They either improved my painting, made it easier and/or more comfortable.

NEW WAVE POCHADE BOX
This pochade box has inspired me to get outside and paint more frequently because it's so small and portable. There's also a larger version available too.
6"x8" this is the size I used in the video https://amzn.to/49gZrJ0
11"x14.5" here's a larger version https://amzn.to/3SEBaY4
BENDABLE TRIPOD
This is the inexpensive bendable tripod I used in the video https://amzn.to/3wQPRiE

TRAVEL CHAIR
Having the option of being able to sit or stand when I paint means that I don't get fatigued as quickly so I actually get more painting done with each trip.
I bought the blue chair but there are other colors available https://amzn.to/3ueoEoH

GOLDEN OPEN ACRYLICS
Slow drying acrylics make blending and creating soft edges much easier when painting with acrylics. They also don't dry up on the palette as quickly so you won't waste as much paint. A must for plein air painting in the summer.

6 color lanscape kit includes sap green and other colors that are useful for landscape painting https://amzn.to/48XaszC

WATER MIXABLE OIL PAINTING KITS
I've tried out three of the kits so far: Cobra, Winsor & Newton Artisan, and Lukas Berlin. They all work well. I made a mistake in the video, the Grumbacher kit that I showed was actually a set of traditional oils. Their line of water mixable oils are called Grumbacher Max water mixable oils and I think you have to buy the tubes individually, I couldn't find a kit of them.

FLOATER FRAMES & GESSOBORDS
Floaterframes make it easy to frame panels and canvases. They include all of the hardware that you need and don't require specialized tools.

Floaterframe: This is an 8x10 maple but there are other colors and sizes available in the same listing https://amzn.to/3SE72vL

Gessobord 8x10 (there are more sizes and depths available) https://amzn.to/48LM0kF

DESKTOP EASEL
There are different makers of this style of easel. Some are better than others. This easel from US art supply is made from real wood and seems sturdy. I like using it for gouache painting outdoors when I sit at a table or by resting it on my lap.

MASTERSON PALETTE AND GLASS CUTTING BOARD
The sponge and palette paper will keep regular acrylics wet for days. When I use OPEN acrylics or water mixable oils I mix on a glass cutting board instead. keep acrylics wet

Glass cutting board https://amzn.to/47YTj7s

TUBE WRINGERS
I don't recommend the plastic tube wringers.I've been using this metal tube wringer since 2018 and it's still holding up. A https://amzn.to/3vXIgy9
Here's the heavy duty metal tube wringer from the video, it's available in different colors https://amzn.to/482x7t0

PADDLE BRUSHES
Great for quickly covering large areas with paint without straining your hands.
