Everything I'm Bringing To Sketch On Holiday (Packing Light?!)

[@FaithAnnNB]

I have been obsessed with getting my Etchr field case filled with the PERFECT supplies for a simple 3-day weekend lol. I always take way more than I need and then have very little time to use it, so am going as minimal as possible this time. A) love my Etchr journals they are my favourite. Honestly I’d slip one in your field case and one in your carry on, it wouldn’t hurt to have two tiny A6 journals on your trip (see why I have a hard time being minimal?), (B) I have watercolour pencils but hardly use them, i thought I would love them but haven’t put any real effort into learning how to use them the best. I do keep a couple of pastel pencils in my field case and love those for highlights. (C) I don’t know how you fit your pop up water container in your case!! I have one and can only use it with my larger bags. In my field case, I have a couple of silicon cupcake liners that I roll up and then use to hold a bit of water lol. (D) hope you have a fabulous vacation!

Glad someone else overthinks this stuff as much as me 😂 I think I will probably end up bringing both sketchbooks! They’re so tiny I might as well 🤷‍♀️ woah silicone cupcake contains is an absolutely genius idea! Going to have to investigate that as I can’t fit the Faber castel pot and the sketchbook at the same time…

Pack light! My vote is for landscape. And nice color choices, by the way! :)

[@JosieViolet]

I think landscape is the way forward!

[@lizcharalambous9150]

I got a Faber Castell pencil which has an eraser and sharpener integrated into it for travel. Happy hols!

[@lizcharalambous9150]

Ps softcover moleskins are good too (landscape for me) :)

[@lizcharalambous9150]

PPS neocolor 2 crayons are great for watercolours too to save space

[@JosieViolet]

Thank you! I’m probably going to end up visiting art supply shops in Europe and end up with more than I started with, let’s be honest 😂

Hiya Josie, Thanks very much for a great video, have a really great safe and happy holiday. x

Love ur work

I’m traveling Europe with hand luggage right now and my kit is suuper similar: same two Rosemary’s daggers, two other rounds, same muji pencil. I have more waterbrushes: in addition to regular round I’m carrying Kuretake flat 2-in-1 for having always clean water to wet the page. My palette is smaller - it’s tiny flat business card case from Art toolkit (ordered more to my hotel from Artemiranda while I’m in Spain and delivery is free, hehe). And I took two sketchbooks: A6 S&B portrait and also Moleskine A5 portrait because it’s quite flat and light, so it doesn’t add much to the bag weight but adds a bigger format if I miss it. Thank you for the vid, have a great holiday!

[@JosieViolet]

Thank you, wow we have the same packing brain! Great choices and nice idea to order to your hotel!

[@kathyhackney7950]

I would have taken portrait in case I wanted a5 size I could just sketch across the gutter ❤

[@JosieViolet]

[@happysoul794]

Guys...if I'm not talented in drawing or painting but I want to learn it so bad...I'm 18btw..many say that it won't work since I don't draw that good .....is there anyway I could learn to paint ,so atleast I could do a scenery 😕

[@annahopper3727]

You’re never too old to learn. Start off with paper and pencil, look up beginner lessons on here, practice, practice and more practice and you’ll be addicted

[@chayakali7326]

Just paint and don't think too much about it, don't listen to others, you Can learn if you believe in it, and lastly don't compare your art to other artists- as they have more experience so obviously it's more beautiful and eventually yours will be too

[@rob80ace70]

Hi Josie. I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your videos and think that you seem very likeable.

[@brandonlanois1734]
