I spend a lot of time trying to figure out the best way to diffuse direct sunlight on a sketchbook for a guy who never even actually does any outdoor sketching anymore
#trying to mentally work out the pragmatic logistics of a small white umbrella vs a collapsible diffuser vs a really big white sunhat#the main problem with the latter is that sunhats are mostly meant to. you know. fully Block the sun#trying to draw a subject in bright direct sunlight with your sketchbook in full hard shadow is also really hard and annoying :')#the OTHER problem with a hat is that what if the sun isn't coming from there 🤔#the thing about an umbrella or a diffuser is: okay where do I Put It. how do I set it in place#and theoretically the answer is 'on a tripod' or 'attached to your easel' but...#my approach to nature journalling and outdoor sketching is usually a lot more casual than a committed Plein Air Excursion?#like-- the ideal scenario is I go for a little nature walk because I like it and then what if I see a cool bug!!#WELL then I have my art stuff with me!#this is my preferred approach and has always served me well and only becomes a problem the more Stuff I want to have with me lol#I don't WANT to pack out an entire tripod or easel for the casual possibility of seeing a cool bug in bright direct sunlight#but I do want to conveniently have options for a variety of different scenarios if they happen to arise#I really just need a bag of holding in real life real fuckin bad tbh#about me
