Hello out there! This is my first thread. I do have a question from anyone out there: I live in the Portland, OR area and vacation in Hawaii most every year. I like to paint in oils when I'm there because there is so much inspiring subject material in Hawaii. I like to paint up until the day I leave and of course it is a problem transporting wet oil paintings in suit cases and I haven't figured out a way to get home with them without a messy disaster. Does anyone have a suggestion for me so that I don't have to stop painting 3-4 days before I leave?

Thanks!

Carlos

Switch to watercolors?

I would use an Adjustable Wet Painting Carriers

I got mine from Art Supply Warehouse when they had a sale on them, but Blick also has them http://www.dickblick.com/products/gu...ting-carriers/

I usually paint on gessoed masonite panels but 1/8 canvas panels would also fit in there nicely...
Good luck and stick to what you like to paint in Oils :-)

Never seen those before...excellent idea, wish I`d thought of it. Wouldn`t be hard to make one either.
