Hurray! Finally we have some proper winter! While most people do not like snow, especially when they need to drive to work on an icy road with brown slush on top, there are two groups that enjoy snow a lot: kids and landscape painters.
This is how I prepare for painting in snow:
- boots good for walking, with roads uncleared I have to walk from home to a location, last time I walked an hour
- two pair of socks with foot warmers between them. There are various brands of foot warmers and hand warmers, all containing activated carbone
- two pairs of gloves. I don't mind painting in ski gloves, the movement of the brush comes from the wrist anyway
- ski trousers, multiple layers of long sleeved t-shirts and leggings
- hat, waterproof jacket
