Testing the Viviva Travel Paint Kit

[@w.acastle]

That travel paint kit looks so handy and compact. It was awesome seeing the kit being tested outdoors and seeing the pros and cons :D

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

It's a fun one!

[@barbarabrady1267]

Nice kit. When I got the 2022 inktober set the paper kept ripping and the paints were all stuck together. The replaced the paint. When I reviewed the sketchbook they refunded me without me emailing about it. That’s excellent customer service. They are beautiful, enjoy the kit 😊

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Oh my goodness, that doesn't sound good! Yikes! At least they took care of it for you. Whew.

[@BeckyTregear]

That is a very tempting travel kit! Love the scenery and your pretty plein air painting. ❤

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Thanks, Becky!

[@Elvraie]

GIVEWAY. I have been painting with ink-based paints for the last two days and these and the little kit hsve temptation written all over them. The painting was brilliant and the mountains are terrific, so peaceful. Have a very pleasant weekend, Miranda, in beautiful Colorado.

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Thank you.

[@dneel468]

What amazing and inspiring views from you house! How wonderful to have that right out your backyard. Thanks for taking us along l loved it. Cool giveaway what a sweet thing to do, to bad the giveaway couldn’t include a hike up the mountain with you what fun that would be!

[@revondamehovic3132]

That hike would be amazing!

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

That would be so much fun!

[@revondamehovic3132]

It was so fun seeing this kit in action! I would love to give this as a gift, but I've realized that I have a tendency to inflict my hobbies on others when they may not be interested. Also, you have amazing views! I loved the clouds too!

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

I do the same thing, lol! Thanks, Revonda.

[@dianethoroughman9541]

I like your picture of your backyard. Grins, so gorgeous! I will enter the giveaway because why not?

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

[@AnnieNoodle]

Yay I finally had time to watch this! It looks like a fun kit to try. I haven't tried any of the Viviva products yet, but this might make it onto my list for next year! I love painting outside! And you're right, be gentle with yourself. I always go into an outdoor painting session wanting to make something beautiful, but when I look back at the painting later, regardless of how it turned out, what I love most is that feeling of being in the moment. I just don't get that same feeling from photos, no matter how much I love them! When you paint something, you spend time with it. Your painting turned out so vivid and lovely, and hopefully brings back cool memories! ❤

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Aw, thank you, Annie. I love your comments. So true. ♥️

[@eileenvalachovic9435]

Thank you for sharing your adventure. Just a warning, plein air painting can be addicting. Enjoy. Recently I replaced the original set of sheets. I keep them in a pocketbook with other art supplies including a palette of sorts with small sections of Peerless paints. They play well with the Viviva. When I gave into the "I want" and got another bag for plein air, I added the spring collection of Peerless colors to that setup. The bag I got is sold for nurses and has all kinds of pouches and pockets. I also got a nurse's clipboard that folds in thirds. Have taken it out a few times and tweaked it. Will let you know how it works out. Thank you for always being enjoyable.

[@eileenvalachovic9435]

I think some of the appeal for me with plein air beyond the enjoyment of being outside and quite often with a group is that I put less pressure on myself. My outside work isn't usually as good as inside and I'm okay with that.

[@revondamehovic3132]

Exactly! It's more about the experience. Btw, I've found out that old diaper bags are great for plein air.. especially if you like taking lots of stuff

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

@@eileenvalachovic9435 yes!

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Yes, I've truly been enjoying painting outside - with and without my friends, but my favorite is with my group.

[@rebeccah7689]

Thanks for the review and giveaway!

[@theartofetta]

What a lovely open space to hike just near your home. Must feel like paradise. The kit looks awesome, but with two tiny kids is not possible for me to paint outdoor😅 I will have to wait a few more years to enjoy that type of freedom

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Someday!

[@djhadaverde]

Hi Miranda! I never tried before this viviva ink paints. So.. giveaway !!

[@brendaromero2595]

Hi Miranda 👋🏻 Love your channel and the Viviva travel sets demo! Thank you:)

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Aw, thanks, Doreen. I appreciate your comment very much.

[@angieconley6501]

I love Viviva paint strips. I want one of the cork palettes. Unfortunately I started following you too late for the giveaway. I’ll be ready for the next one. 😊

[@bruceb7587]

Very nice landscape! Giveaway

[@christianeeichler6919]

Love how the clouds built up in the backtground while you were painting. Also loved your painting, of course. I'd love to be in the giveaway, I'm in Germany.

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Christiane - you won! Email me at [e-mail] with your shipping address and I'll get your package of colorsheets send out to you next week!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Their cork palette is filled with vibrant color choices. I love them but that Travel Deluxe kit has been out, since Christmas 2022. Glad to see you were able to get one, Miranda. Thanks for this review and sharing your plein air painting… you have amazing, inspiring views, Miranda…WoW!! Yes the sap green and peacock blue are my faves!! Keeping my fingers crossed for your giveaway, and best of luck to all subscribers.

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

I was hoping it would be back in stock soon, but at least the A5 size is available. Good luck in the giveaway!

[@michaelbusby1802]

I would like to enter the ‘Giveaway’ Thanks! Kathy Busby

[@ArtBrain]

Your puppy dog and your property are both beautiful. And of course, the painting too! It's a good think you're having a giveaway because you apparently sold Vivia out of the paint kits. Very fun video. Thank you!

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Hahaha, maybe. I found the A6 set here:www.uncommongoods.com/product/travel-watercolor-paint-kit?flow_country=USA&gclid=CjwKCAjwhdWkBhBZEiwA1ibLmI8RbSZq49thAlOq_fGQSbD3yx6GG44-iZV88fWrAKrS0r_JrqzgiRoCWFEQAvD_BwE

[@lyndalseaton9777]

Giveaway...love the idea of these paints. But have never tried them... go puppies go😂 keep up the plain air painting. When ever i try i always think its not as polished as the painting i do from images

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Yeah, I think because I know I'm on a time limit and it's not always planned out as well as some of my other paintings - but it sure is fun!

[@_creatling_3806]

You’re very brave to paint outside. I’m always happy when I see there is a new video ❤ love that you’re doing a giveaway ❤

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Aw, thank you.

[@rebeccahesser8057]

These are super cool especially for a giveaway have always been interested in trying the Viviva watercolors!! Thanks for the review Miranda.

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Thank you!

[@FaithAnnNB]

giveaway (Canada) I’ve been so curious about the colour sheets as they look so compact and perfect for on-the-go! I think I’d prefer the elastic if it wrapped around from left to right horizontally (instead of top/bottom vertically as it does now) if that makes sense. Then it would be able to handle slipping a thicker book inside (without putting it in the slot). You live in such a beautiful area!!

[@FaithAnnNB]

Ha!! One minute later, you said the same thing about the elastic! 😅

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Yes, the elastic could use a different location for sure.

[@laurfincher8137]

Giveaway is always fun! I am from Canada and found you today while searching for art tutorials. I have seen others use the paint from Viviva and it looks pretty nice. I would love to have a travel kit but like you, I do not "need" it. LOL

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Laur - you were the second "winner" but the second winner had to be in the U.S., so we did a re-draw. However, I'd still like to send you a consolation prize, so email me your info at [e-mail] and I'll send something fun to you next week.

[@bonnievetter5723]

Miranda I love your videos and you have a lovely place! I have just gotten into plein air painting and would love to win your giveaway of the Viviva color sheets. They certainly wouldn’t take up any room in your bag!

Yes, they're quite slim!

Their travel kit look so nice! I want them without the paint and sketchbook to use it with my own supplies 😅

Good idea!

I have the Vivvia Paints; not the travel kit - but I'm all good :) Great review. Thanks for the plein air painting. I was waiting ..... no pond jumping for you Miranda?

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Hahaha, nope, no pond jumping - it's kinda dirty water at the moment and very shallow.

[@annahopper3727]

Just been and looked and their travel kits are sold out. Hopefully they will get more in

[@maryannprzybycien2013]

Giveaway YAY!!!

[@chuhsiao5345]

I always wondered about the value of the paints. If they’re superior paints then viviva products seem overpriced (or maybe it cost a lot to make the cork palette?). Either way, would love to try these paints through your giveaway!

Good luck on the giveaway!
