I'm laid up with a sore leg, so I haven't done watercolor in the field yet. Drawing is relatively easy, but you can still do a lot of juggling if, like me, you have the journal, binoculars and camera at the same time, not to mention incidentals and water. I have a courier's bag I use for all that. Today I did my first attempt at a landscape while looking over my deck to the woods out back. It was a dreary, rainy, grey day, just perfect for watercolor. Came out pretty nice! The lone evergreen is too green, but that's learning for you. I ended up doing mixed media, I guess you'd call it. I don't have the control to do really fine detail with the brush, at least not yet, but pencil worked great.
