I have been waiting for someone to ask me that!

I used Frederich’s 9×12 canvas sheets exclusively. It is the perfect size for my quick oil sketches. Also, I don’t have the panic of ruining a canvas board. I never use stretched surfaces because I like a more stable area when I paint.

If you want to talk more about technique, you may go over to Facebook, and request to be a friend. I love to talk about painting, and I don’t know everything!

I either have them on the table (I developed carpal by using a LARGE hand-held palette for 8 hours at a time. I weigh in a little over 100 lbs so, it took a toll), or in a chair beside me.

Here is a link to a photo of my pochade kit that I carry on a milk crate on my bicycle:

And here is a picture of the milk crate loaded for a painting session at a coffee house:
