Drawing outside with the NeoLucida Plus

Can you use the NeoLucida to draw outside? Absolutely! Artists have drawn "en plein air" for centuries, and as long as you have a portable easel or table with you, the NeoLucida can be used to draw directly from nature.

The easel I use in this video is a "Blick Studio Aluminum Watercolor Field Easel by Jullian" purchased in 2018 and with some personal modifications. Full disclosure: I think it's just "OK." Like a 3.5/5. It is perfectly good for regular outdoor use, but it is a little flimsy when using the NeoLucida, which requires a little more stability to keep the ghost image from shaking.

If you are interested in finding an outdoor easel to use with your NeoLucida, I recommend searching for "Watercolor Easels," which are designed to pivot to horizontal for wet media. I also recommend searching for drawing boards with built-in tripod mounts that you can easily attach to your favorite tripod.

Happy drawing!
