Travel Art Supplies Roundup - how to pack your watercolor tools

Let me know if you enjoyed this travel art supply roundup video! I have links to most of the items in my Amazon shop www.amazon.com/shop/lifeidesign

Thank you! These types of videos really help me pare down my supplies to the essentials (I tend to overpack in general, 😂). PS I like the inset picture too, I might suggest if you can move it to a top corner as a rule, you wouldn’t have to worry about it potentially obscuring anything (since your hands would naturally be near the bottom of the screen).

So glad! Totally agree, top right is what I"m thinking! I'll keep it in mind for the next one. Let me know what you'd like me to share next!

Thank you Nicki, I was wondering what to take on summer trip, what I had in mind would fill a suitcase. Thank you. Your videos are always so helpful😊

Thank you! When I am “on the go” is my primary time for watercolor! This helps me fine-tune my own version of a travel kit. One of my favorites to take is a postcard sized (4”X6”) pad of watercolor papers. It’s a great way to document my travels, send updates to friends, and share blessing along the way. Often upon returning home I find my “postcards” still hanging on the frig in my friend’s & family’s homes!

I love the postcard idea! I must try it.

Nikki, I am one of your students. How did you know I really needed this video today? This past week I just went to Open Studio day at my local Art studio and I hauled quite the bag. I wanted to make sure I had everything I needed but ended up inly using only a few things, hehe. This video was so helpful. I love seeing your compact traveling watercolor materials. Thank you for describing things clearly. Loved the two cameras as well. And I really appreciate the inspiration/encouragement to take your watercolors everywhere and just paint. ❤❤❤ Thank you.

I loved how compact your travel kit is, Most youtube videos about travel kits that I have seen focus on how to cram as many art supplies as possible in as little space as possible lol. I will admit that it is hard for me to limit myself to just watercolor so I am instead trying to develop a useable limited palette that combines several mediums (watercolor, colored pencils, neocolor II and water based markers plus a fountain pen with waterproof ink and a mechanical pencil for sketching) I am hoping that this can work for me on my upcoming trip.

I have been trying to pack less for travel actually. I end up always packing too much and thinking I'll have extra free time but in fact, we seem busier with wanting to explore everything. :)
