Travel Sketch Tools

This video shows what I carried with me on my sketching expedition to Ireland. The clip shows and describes clearly the tools I use when I go out urban sketching.

I love seeing what other artists carry on sketching trips. I take way too much and need to down-size it more. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@AlvinMarkArt]

I find myself constantly figuring out what needs to be filtered out. :)

I saw that paint and thought it was m graham it looked so moist, I didn’t realise white nights was like that. Need to get one to try. Great case as well.

[@AlvinMarkArt]

Some places sell the case separately. :) So compact!

Thanks, very interesting!

[@AlvinMarkArt]

Glad you liked it! I keep my urban sketching kit as compact as I can.

Hi! New subscriber. What is the clear box you use for paper? Thank you and have a great day!

[@AlvinMarkArt]

OneTrueWord1988 Hi, it’s a plastic case that people use to store documents (A4 paper) in offices.

I was sorry to miss you here in Wexford this year Alvin. What size travel brushes do you use please? And what do you think of water brushes? I have the Derwent. It's only taken me a year since attending your brilliant talk to start sketching :-)

[@AlvinMarkArt]

Hi Clare, the big brush I have is the 1326 TINTORETTO KOLINSKY SABLE TRAVEL BRUSH - size 12, and the smaller one is the Rosemary R0 Pocket Pure Kolinsky Sable Pointed Size 4 ( R33-4 ). I prefer to dip my used brush in water especially when cleaning them. I used to have a water brush, and had traces of the previous colour on it. But it is very convenient. Happy sketching! :)

[@clarethornley4508]

Thanks Alvin, - you beat the record for speedy response!

[@stephanieng5702]

This might be a silly qn.. how do you fill your water brush with ink?

[@AlvinMarkArt]

Very carefully!! A video... someday!! :D
