My En Plein Air Backpack - What's Inside?

This video shares what is inside my En Plain Air Backpack. These are my essential things to bring every time I go out and paint outdoors. Of course, this is personal taste, so decide on the best bag that suits your style and what you need. There are many options out there! Decide on what is comfortable, lightweight, weather resistant and ergonomic! Then carry what you think you will need to paint outdoors, considering time, location, weather and enjoy!
