We enjoyed a conversation today with Thomas Kitts, whose website has a wealth of resources for the plein air painter. In addition to a list of useful books and blogs, there are videos, magazine articles and a free download, “Advice on Painting from John Singer Sargent“.

Among many other practical suggestions, there are instructions for making your own flake white paint, repairing a leaking tube of paint, painting in the rain (in the car, actually) and a video of what happens when a portrait artist takes LSD.
