St Luc, yes that's possible a lot of schools are named so cause Luc is the artist evangelist.
Ah, your dad works so brilliantly I like it!
Ah I'm not really a morning person but after i was out in the field it was allright. It wasn't that cold luckely, one time i had to paint with my gloves on that wasn't handy at all. (It was too dark also so i didn't had a clue what i was mixing, and it all turned... yeck)
The tools I use? pig bristle brushes, short and flat mainly 1,5 broad to 1cm. And some filbert ones. I like using synthetic filberts when i'm working out details. With small details I sometimes I use a painters-stick. But never for plain air work. I have seen one tutor (
www.jimharris.nl) use it to quickly draw sharp lines of buildings and such to get the perspective right. (Maybe I should bring it along?)
On top of that I love to work with small palette knives, to mix and paint.
I always bring a lot of brusher so my work stays clean. I just take a new brush when I'm changing to a complementair color. I don't clean brushes while painting, I clean them afterwards.
I have a rather large wooden palette, I had to carve it somewhat otherwise it hurt resting on my arm and cut my veins.
I never use mediums, I don't like them. I like my oilpaint a bit thick.
Most of the times I set up my palette the day before I start working.
Colours I mostly use: zinkwit, cadmium rood, crimson, citroengeel, geel oker, rood oker, gebrande omber, rauwe omber, groene aarde, ultramarijn.
I always set up a mix too of the burned omber+utramarine+crimson to make a nice black.
I set up my palette the same way every time so I can find and mix my colours quickly.
Mostly I will work on a canvas or board, that I have allready gave a basic colour. (imprematuur) My imprematuur in the sunrise painting for instance was lavender.
So well,... sorry for the long story... i kinda let myself go.. veh!
