Painting plein air with casein in my sketchbook at Loe Pool, Cornwall

I paint the view overlooking Loe Pool in casein paints. Casein is a new opaque medium to me and I have enjoyed trying it out en plein air in my recent sketchbooks. James Gurney inspired me to try it after watching some of his videos on his awesome channel. I'm painting onto ordinary drawing paper in my sketchbook using water to mix with the paint. I only use 2 brushes for my sketches - a flat and a round. My mixing palettes are old pencil tins which are flat and easy to carry in my backpack when working outdoors - they didn't cost anything either! Colours used are: Yellow Ochre Cadmium Yellow Cadmium Red Ivory Black Cobalt Blue Titanium White. The sketch in the video took around 25 minutes in real time to complete. It was great fun and I really enjoyed painting the late afternoon light and listening to the birdsong. Please 'like' and subscribe if you enjoyed the video.
