Then they return to the studio and upsize the painting to a larger size more suitable for hanging in a living room.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Speed Painting Outdoors | En Plein Air - Improving Brushwork and Colour Mixing\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vf7GsjNTA4Q?start=6&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I prefer to work at 16 x 20 but I&#8217;m learning that my skills aren&#8217;t quite ready to create sellable work. So these large plein air paintings bomb, which means I spend a lot of time sanding them down and re applying the gesso for another go.<\/p>\n<p>Another route many artists go is painting on gesso covered canvas which is merely taped to gatorboard. Then if the painting turns out, it can be glued to a board and framed, or, if the board is cradled, it&#8217;s ready to hang without a frame.<\/p>\n<p>I have never painted large in oils&#8230;but for a number of reasons I wanted to try it. First I needed to learn how to cradle a large board. 24 x 36 x 0.25&#8243; boards will sag, so they have to be supported by a cradle on the back&#8230;which can also act as the frame, making them ready for hanging.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sfEdmw0pCik&#038;t=100s<\/p>\n<p>I borrowed my son&#8217;s miter saw, bought some high quality plywood and spent a few days out in my garage\/shop learning how to be a carpenter. When I put the 24 x 36 inch oil gesso&#8217;d board on my carbon fiber easel, I realized it was too flimsy for a board that big.<\/p>\n<p>I already have a heavy duty Bogen easel dating from my 4 x 5 large format camera days. But I had no way of mounting the board to the easel. Off to Lowes I went with only a rough idea of how I could build an easel from scratch. Man, I love inventing stuff from metal! I think inventing fits me better than painting.\u00a0 There is a cool combination of sketching, thinking and working with drills, saws and screws that&#8217;s just really fun. It&#8217;s also neat to put stuff together that is better (and cheaper) than what you can buy in stores. I guess I like solving problems. I will post pictures later.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2110 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon
