Although an easel is a plus, a large piece of cardboard will do just fine. Secure your paper to it with clothespins. Water colors are nice for capturing the subtle shades of sun, sand and surf. Try rendering the same scene in the early morning and the late afternoon. Outdoor painting needn't be limited to natural objects, either.
Inspiration is wherever they find it.
