Embrace the Freedom of On-Location Painting with Field Easels
Painting outdoors, or plein air, has been a cherished practice among artists for centuries. Immersing oneself in the natural environment, capturing the fleeting effects of light and colour, is a uniquely rewarding experience. To facilitate this artistic endeavor, a reliable field easel is a must-have accessory. Our collection at The Sydney Art Store includes field easels that are specifically designed for on-location painting. These easels are not only portable and lightweight, but they also offer stability and functionality under various outdoor conditions. They can withstand the rigors of travel, and their adjustable features allow artists to set up their workspace in a matter of minutes. Whether you're painting a landscape, seascape, or cityscape, our field easels provide the versatility needed for any outdoor setting. Moreover, our field easels are crafted from durable materials, ensuring lasting performance even with regular use. So, for your next plein air painting adventure, trust our field easels to support your creative journey.
Exploring the Types of Paper for Artistic Expression
Paper is one of the most versatile tools in an artist’s toolkit, offering a surface for every medium and technique. From smooth, durable drawing paper to textured watercolour sheets, each type of paper is uniquely suited to specific artistic needs. Pastel paper enhances blending and layering, while rice paper lends a delicate, ethereal quality to ink or brushwork. Sketchbooks offer convenience and portability, while canvas paper mimics the texture of stretched canvas for painters. Printmaking and conservation papers ensure long-lasting results for fine art projects. Choosing the right type of paper unlocks new creative possibilities, ensuring that each piece is perfectly paired with a surface that complements its style and medium.

Choosing high-quality paper is critical for ensuring the success and longevity of your artwork. Premium papers are crafted to support specific mediums, offering smooth surfaces for detailed sketches or textured options for bold, expressive painting. Acid-free papers prevent yellowing and deterioration over time, making them ideal for archival-quality work. For wet techniques like watercolour or ink, thick, durable paper absorbs the medium without warping or bleeding. Artists working with pastels benefit from paper with a fine tooth, which holds pigment effectively. Poor-quality paper can lead to frustrating results, such as smudging or fading. By investing in superior paper, you provide your art with a strong foundation and lasting impact.
