Travel Art Supplies and Bags

[@jperala658]

I use a slightly larger Fjällräven cross-body bag I bought when I was in Stockholm. I actually took my 5.5" X 8.5" sketchbook into the Fjällräven store to find the bag that it would fit into. When I got home I found I could get the exact same bag on their website a lot cheaper. It fits my sketchbook, Holbein Palm Box, an 8 oz square Nalgene Bottle, and water pot.

So happy that I found your KZbin channel. I'm a retired gal and have only recently taken up drawing. I'm at a point in which I would like to draw plein air since I so enjoy wondering the mountains near my home. Not wanting to 'reinvent the wheel' I've have taken to researching what those before me use outside of their home studios. Thank you so much for sharing a part of your own journey with us.💕

Ooh, i like that Fjallraven bag. May have to get myself that for Christmas.

[@atc246]

You go girl styling & purfling with your fanny pack!!😊😊👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@pennypop408]

I would not be without my kipling art bag a gift from my son. Best art bag I have ever owned. They have an amazing range as well small to large heaps of colors.

[@jdodington]

Oooh, I'll have to check them out, thanks!

[@marmyyetter5674]

I like your idea of using a Baggalini bag as a watercolor travel pack! I just ordered one for myself!

[@jdodington]

I love it! I hope you enjoy your new art travel set up !

[@ELizbeth135]

Love baggalini! Great brand for travel and practical bags!

[@jdodington]

absolutely!!

[@djsnyder001]

Real cool! I often get my favorite travel art bags from the army surplus store.

[@jdodington]

That's awesome! I bet they are mighty durable.

[@rachelleandrichard]

I really love your travel art supplies. Everything is well thought out and the pace of the video was great. Not too fast. I love supply details. I take my time purchasing what I need and love to research before I buy. Plus good supplies cost a lot so it suits me to be intentional and only buy what I need. I enjoyed your content. Will pop over to your channel and check out some of your art videos. Your larger cross body bag looks really comfortable. And I love the little blue Fjallraven bag too. So many yummy things. TFS.

[@jdodington]

Thank you so much for your comments! That's really helpful to know when just beginning to build a channel. I'm a sucker for supply videos too! Oh and studio tours. Big fan of those as well. Cheers!

[@cameleoncom]

Great video! Very helpful and interesting! Usually you can figure out that stuff on your own, but it is so nice to get some advice or get a few more ideas on "how to" 🙂 Nice tattoos btw!

[@jdodington]

I'm so glad it was helpful Anna! Thanks for your input.

[@michelletulumello661]

I have the princeton Neptune too and its great for washes but I find the tips difficult for detailing. The escoda Versatil travel brush in a small size (4?6?) is a good addition for that.

[@jdodington]

Thanks Michelle! I will look into the escoda versatil travel brush. I love supplies....

[@stevesidare2493]

People normally admire artists, so I don't worry too much about being seen. At the same time, I don't like areas or parks that are too "peopley." I like chatting, but peopley is avoided. PS: My water containers are almost always green - water and stain - mostly from Sap Green.

[@cjenkins8785]

I would keep the rose gold travel brushes inside the large zipper compartment for safety.

[@jdodington]

VERY good idea.

[@CzarAlexis]

Hi. Great video. Thanks for sharing. What shop in Fredericksburg did you find that Moleskine? I live in Central Texas and not too far from there. I’d like to check that place out.

[@jdodington]

It was actually IN an old building that served breakfast and also sold pottery and hand made items… if I find the name I’ll let you know. Pretty unique place

[@emmahaslam1905]

Those big Nalgene water bottles can be clipped into the outside of a bag with a carabinder if you need more space for something else.

[@jdodington]

Yes! You're absolutely right. I do that with my backpack for work! Thanks for chiming in!

[@hanichay1163]

Agatha Christie yeeessss

[@jdodington]

Hahaha glad to meet another fan!

[@teresarobles9189]

I love that small kanken (i call them kankens i dont know if this is correct at all) bag for daily use as a purse. I can fit like 5 (I haven't put more in) different chapsticks/lipglosses in the small front pocket and the bag doesnt buldge or even look like theres anything in it. My phone, wallet, random receipts all fit in the main pocket and yet again it does not look like theres anything in the bag! I put a pandora bracelet box in it and it zippered (although you could definetly tell something was in it. My inly complaint is that the material started to turn white/fuzzy. Ive tried taking it off with lint rollers and tape. That didn't work and I'm not sure how to get rid of this. The white fuzz is noticeable on my bag because its a dark green so it kind of irritates me.

[@jdodington]

Huh. Crazy about the white fuzz, maybe I haven’t experienced that yet because my bag is lighter in color. Good to know… thanks for your thoughts!

[@debradavisfineart]

I'd love to know which bag you actually got. I went to their site and did not see your bag but would like to get it.

[@jdodington]

Sorry you couldn't find it. I think you're talking about the "fanny pack? Here is a link to the bag. It's the "hip pack" www.fjallraven.com/us/en-us/bags-gear/kanken/kanken-bags/kanken-hip-pack?campaignid=17218841977&adgroupid=&creative=&keyword=&gclid=CjwKCAjw8JKbBhBYEiwAs3sxN-3yt8lK7SeyRFGhGYit5HfcZq0e_WdoLiurmnLBQ0wIBR3I4tIDIRoCW28QAvD_BwE

[@debradavisfineart]

@@jdodington Thank you but I was talking about the other bag at the first of the video.

[@jdodington]

@@debradavisfineart Ohhh, yes unfortunately when I looked online I didn't see my bag either. I've had it for years. They seem to continuously change the styles they offer. My mom has a different crossbody to mine and finds it really useful. Mine might be a "hobo" - those styles look closer to mine in that they are large and hold a lot. I bought mine at a Ross. I also saw one recently at a Tuesday Morning store. So, it is possible to find them discounted at places like these. I thnk they were $30 or $40ish rather than $100.

[@racefan312325]

which twisbi fountain pen do you have???? I have problems with the Lamy leaking all over my hands and would like an alternative.

[@jdodington]

It is the TWISBI Eco. It holds so much ink you can write with it often and it doesn't run out nearly as often as the Lamy does.

[@gwenhafford4112]

Would you please list the link or the style of the bag from Baggallini? They have so many that look similar. Thanks.

[@jdodington]

Hi Gwen! Unfortunately, when I looked online I didn't see my exact style of Baggallini bag. I've had it for years. They seem to continuously change the styles they offer. My mom has a different crossbody to mine and finds it really useful. Mine might be a "hobo" - those styles look closer to mine in that they are large and hold a lot. I bought mine at a Ross. I also saw one recently at a Tuesday Morning store. So, it is possible to find them discounted at places like these. I think they were $30 or $40ish rather than $100. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful about it... I hope you're able to find something similar that works.

[@gwenhafford4112]

@@jdodington - Thanks for taking the time to answer. I will keep my eyes open at discount stores. Maybe I’ll find one! Also thanks for sharing your ideas and experience. I enjoy your videos. ☺️

[@bibigermann4829]

Hi, what color is your Kånken hip bag?

[@jdodington]

My bag is "Sky Blue." As far as I can tell it is just a little lighter than the "Frost Green" color.

[@bibigermann4829]

@@jdodington Thank you so much for the answer!:)

[@lani4582]

What model is the sailor fountain pen? The ones I’ve seen is $200+.

[@jdodington]

Sailor Fude De Mannen - Stroke Style Calligraphy Fountain Pen - Bamboo Green - Nib Angle 55 Degrees (11-0127-767) - Navy Blue - Nib Angle 40 Degrees (11-0127-740) 　VALUE SET!! Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XY29JVN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Mine were $28 for both. They're lightweight, you can tell they're not super high quality, but the prices is right and they work well for me.

[@cesaraugustoalarcon7129]

tan linda 🤩😘

[@barbararivera2380]

so, you move everything from one bag to another?

[@jdodington]

Yes, I have them both by the door now and just transfer my supplies with a couple of quick handfuls into whatever bag I want to take out with me. (Usually, it'll be the fanny pack from now on unless I have a reason for the bigger one, like taking a waterbottle or more snacks.

[@PaintinHiding]

this was so fun to watch! i'm currently putting together a couple travel sets of my own so it was particularly extra fun for me, thanks for sharing Jessie!

[@jdodington]

You're so welcome! Thanks for your comment :)

[@PonyExpressway]
