[@delraymike1]

Awesome Video! Love your set up - especially "The on the Go" one. And your microwave page protector thingy is GENIUS! Thank you for the inspiration.

[@LilDivette]

Thanks Michael and thanks for watching!

[@scrappaperart]

Great art kits...thanks for sharing and the links.

[@LilDivette]

You're welcome and thanks for watching!

[@MaryPrasadArt]

I enjoyed seeing your kits, thanks! I’m filming my own for a series with travel and palettes. I use empty makeup pans in my business card palettes. You can get empties on Amazon and from makeup suppliers.

[@LilDivette]

+Mary Prasad Thanks Mary! I'm always on the lookout for ideas so I'll check yours out. 👍

[@MaryPrasadArt]

Thanks! I hope you like!

[@Sides3Sides]

The page you showed us, "Night Before Christmas" is charming! Each of these kits are great. Thank you for sharing.

[@LilDivette]

Thanks Raye and thanks for watching! 😊

[@SUSSDUE]

Thank you so much for this video! It is great that you show different kits in small middle and big sizes. It has given me loads of ideas!

[@LilDivette]

So glad you found it helpful, Charlotta! Thanks for watching and happy painting. 😊🎨

[@RobbiLee100]

This is great, we had the same idea with making a travel bag from the electronics bags. I made a similar tour video of my travel kit and I also love my escoda brushes. I feel I can get addicted to travel brushes as well haha.

[@LilDivette]

It's all VERY addictive, lol! Whenever I see a case/bag, tin, small container, pocket brush (Escoda makes the best!), etc. I think "that would make a great travel kit/palette/tool/etc." Gonna go check out your tour video--I love these types of videos--and thanks again for watching! 😊

[@RobbiLee100]

Thank you, I really appreciate it and I'm the exact same way hahah

[@blackbird7005]

Hey Lil, thanks for the tip about the plastic sheet between pages, makes sense!

[@LilDivette]

Glad it was helpful, Val!

[@LilDivette]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! 😊🎨

[@Bluebirdray]

Awesome now I know what to do with all the self cover buttons I inherited. Great tips.

[@LilDivette]

Glad you found it helpful! 😊

[@christinecortese9973]

Thanks for sharing this - love your art journal. I keep one too and find it a great pleasure to work in. However it’s the kit that presents the most trouble for me - always missing something I want to use - so I’m glad for these fresh ideas!

[@LilDivette]

Ugh, I know what you mean Christine! It takes some time as well as trial and error, but once you figure it out, you can just relax and create without interruption. 😊 Good luck and thanks for watching! 🎨

[@cynshim673]

Really appreciate u sharing such travel kit ideas. Thank you... It's a great collection you have there...

[@LilDivette]

Thanks Cyn! I’ve found watercoloring to be very therapeutic so having a kit always available is essential! 😊 🎨

[@cynshim673]

@@LilDivette yes it is 😇😍

[@Angela-jy8um]

Great video! I loved the geo tube for water, wrist band to wipe brush on and business card case for WC palette ideas! Oh and the button covers. Very cool, thanks for sharing.

[@LilDivette]

Thanks Angela! I’m constantly looking for ways to travel with art supplies so if you have any tips, please feel free to share. Happy painting and thanks for watching! 😊🎨

[@xenoncs2141]

I'm so amazed you truly are very inspirational and a genius

[@mariavictoriacortez8453]

I love your kit.Hope it is availablle in our stores in our place.

[@LilDivette]

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! 🤞

[@alejandromorales9516]

Wow! Those are amazing kits! I stumbled upon this because I am trying to figure out how to put together a small kit for myself because I am rarely home to use my watercolors. This is very inspiring! I love those little credit card case setups! :) Happy painting!!

[@LilDivette]

Thanks Alejandro and glad you found it helpful! I'll be sharing an update soon featuring various artist rolls (sometimes called pen/pencil rolls but they work great for art supplies too) so stay tuned. 😉

[@edwinaquintero6700]

You’re very welcome, Melonie! 😊

[@drbettyschueler3235]

I have watched hundreds of art videos and I find many of them are really boring so I don't watch them all the way through. Some people talk, while working, and their voice levels go up and down or they start mumbling. Then there are the ones that have loud and monotonous music that hurts my ears and drowns out what the presenter is saying. I often wonder if these presenters actually look at the videos, they are producing, before uploading them to KZbin. This is the first video, I've come across from you, and I found it really helpful. I've been searching for a good way to carry, and store, my most-used art supplies. I've searched Amazon for days, with no luck, but never thought of using a tech bag. I carry the same types of things, you do, so I am really happy I watched this video. Keep up the good work.

[@LilDivette]

I'm so pleased to hear that--thank you Betty! 😊 I try to put out good content that is both informative and the best quality I can manage with my very limited toolset (I still consider myself a newbie with a lot to learn and hope to someday have a better filming setup after the kids graduate from college!). When I first started my channel, I didn't realize how hard it was to make videos--I filmed my first video on an old iPhone and had no editing software--so I'm very sympathetic to anyone who has the courage try this. Glad you found it helpful and let me know if you come across any other good 'hacks'--I'm always looking for ways to improve my setup. Thanks again for watching!

[@DeborahJaneWilliamsLewis]

Another inspirational and informative video xx

[@LilDivette]

Thx Debbie! 😊💕

[@annaberardi9111]

Thank you for such a great video! The business card palette, BUBM, and wristband demos solve 3 challenges as I assemble portable options.

[@LilDivette]

+Anna Berardi Thanks Anna--so glad it was helpful! 🎨😊

[@nafordebi]

the peerless are awesome i don’t have all the sets but have the 40 color and the 12 color sets

[@MoniqueBourgeois]

Thank you so much. This is very helpful.

[@LilDivette]

So glad it was helpful, Monique, and thanks for watching! 😊

[@julianecole3868]

Omg, liked this a lot! The shining!! I actually got some inspo, and maybe I’ll make a video similar to this :)

[@LilDivette]

Thanks Julia! I also love getting inspo from other people's art journals (and planners!) so let me know if you film one. Thanks again for watching!

[@cherylclough4309]

I loved your video! Just found your channel. I’ve seen the Superior Labor bag and of course drooled over it , but didn’t want to spend the money on it. I found the one you just showed on Amazon, but didn’t get b/c It was so inexpensive I wondered how useful it could be. But it looks great. I may just go back and pick one up. I think travel watercolor brushes might fit the height of that roll. I also liked your carry around the house bag. Those geo tubes are a good idea. I know bunches of colors aren’t necessary, but looking at all the pans lined up before always makes me happy! Thanks for sharing.

[@LilDivette]

Thanks Cheryl! Actually, I found a better quality and still affordable pen roll (less than the Super Labor but not as cheap as the one shown) than has worked out much better and I am LOVING--I'll be posting a video about it so hold off on buying one and check back soon. 😉

[@zenandink3531]

The Shining!

[@LilDivette]

Correct Desiree! 📺👍

[@nafordebi]

i am getting a card case ! but i’m going to put peerless watercolors in it

[@LilDivette]

That's a great idea! I've been curious to try the Pererless sheets--they'd work great in a card case too.

[@juliec.]

Super video.

[@LilDivette]

Thanks Julie! 😊🎨

[@lorimarum6261]

The video is very helpful. The movie was the shining....

[@LilDivette]

I'm glad it was helpful, Lori, and you are CORRECT! 😊🎥👍

Do you have a video of the watercolor fotonovo set up, please? It seems perfect for my needs!

[@LilDivette]

No but it's a great suggestion for a future video. Thanks Debbie!

[@janetshaffer423]

The Sidekick Travelers is no longer available, with all its zipper pockets. I wanted to carry tiny LePens like you do.m

[@LilDivette]

Unfortunately, Janet, CS no longer makes this TN model however sometimes they show up on eBay. Given how tiny Le Pens are, I think you can probably carry them in almost any zipper pouch that’s Personal size or larger. HTH and thanks for watching!

[@barbararivera2380]

[@lyndasmith593]

By the way....where did u get the leather roll up pouch, and microwave card?

[@LilDivette]

The leather roll up was from Amazon (I think I included a link to it in the description) and the microwave plastic cover was from the dollar store. HTH and thanks for watching!

[@francesschatz3131]

What is the leather kit on the right?

[@LilDivette]

Hi Frances! I purchased the leather pencil roll from Amazon-it’s linked in the description. If you were referring to the flip leather cover with the pocket on the front, I purchased it from a travelers notebook maker called Sojourner-also linked. HTH and thanks for watching! 😊🎨

[@chainsawkitten3766]

I think you need some more travel brushes.

[@LilDivette]

+Chainsaw Kitten You really think so? 😂🖌

[@mikenoneofyourbusiness7122]

First two kits are missing an essential item: notebook! There’s no surface to paint on, so it’s misleading as a “kit”. You need to actually show your complete kit! Not fake tiny ones, that are missing most essential part.

[@LilDivette]

I switch thru various size notebooks from 3x3 up to A5 so it varies.

[@nafordebi]

the shining lmao

[@LilDivette]

😊👍

[@pesto12601]

Nice.. but too much stuff in that bubm bag IMO... those bottles are good for storing water.. but too bad they are not flat on the bottom.. Less is better sometimes.. .try working with 6 colors and no more and you will quickly learn how creative you can get with just a few.. 72 colors?!?! YIKES.

[@LilDivette]

Yeah it's a lot because it's also my storage kit that I can easily carry anywhere in the house and just settle in to 'play' without having to go back and look for something (I don't have a dedicated space to work in). 😂🙈 My family has been generous to gift me some palettes in the past so I keep all the pans in this jumbo box then pick what I need when I downsize to smaller palettes like a mini or regular Altoids box. My everyday kit is the 3x5 journal with the credit card palette and I only use a few of the colors from there. Thanks for watching!

[@amithistrock6029]

The shining is the movie 🎨

[@LilDivette]

Yes, it’s a classic! 👍
