What's so tough about rainy season plein air?

The beginning of a unique outdoor sketching season in the Pacific NW.
Advantages:
  1. Comfy seat, with optional warmer. 
  2. Climate control.
  3. Watercolors and inks stay dry. 
  4. Cup holders for your painting water AND your latte. 
  5. Built in steering wheel/easel.
Car sketching
Disadvantages:
  1. Viewpoint must have parking. 
  2. Risk of being taken for a stalker in unfamiliar neighborhood. 
  3. Drips and spills have consequences.
  4. Your umbrella may atrophy from disuse.

  1. I am a stalker of your blog. I look forward to seeing all that you do. This post had me laughing. But I do agree with all the points you made.
