Monet swore that all of his canvases were painted Plein-Air, never sketched, underpainted, or taken home unfinished. History, however, tells another tale, sketches, underpaintings and unfinished works in his studio have lead us to now know that he cheated from time to time... his own rule at least.
It's what the old masters did when they went to sketch in the open air. they would then go back to the studio and use the colours depicted at certain times in the day and work them into their studio picture.The picture had to fit in the greatcoat pocket when finished. hence pochade. The pictures are about light on the landscape at different times of day. and Antony is grand master of the art of pochade painting.

Just google pochade box, and you will find plenty to choose from. Good video but would have been better with sound.

Hi Antony, How are you. Well I hope. I am now posting things on YouTube. You have inspired me. God bless.

I'd like to know about your set-up, too. Which pochade box is that? What kind of support are you using? And is this an oil painting?
