Watercolor Travel Kit - Plein Air Painting Artist Roll Lochby Review | Affordable Sendak Alternative

[@kathyhackney7950]

I was really loving the look of the senak roll, but this is looking like a good dupe, and i might even like it better aesthetically. Thank you so much for the review

You could also reserve the back pockets (if you're getting this to travel with colored pencils) for pencils that aren't new and aren't quite so long. But i do wish it was slightly longer.

Im trying to find something longer to carry more. Open to suggestions otherwise ill have to make my own.

Hmm, have you checked out The Sendak Artist Roll from Peg and Awl? It is on the pricy side but may fit your needs.

Hi Jannah! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of the Tool Roll! 😍 We're happy to hear how you've been using it in your art practice plus all of the feedback. We're so grateful to see it in action and appreciate all of your thoughtful insights. Happy creating! 🥰

[@jannahlyon]

Thanks for sending it out for me to try!

[@kathyhackney7950]

Lochby, would you consider making it slightly longer so we can fit colored pencils in the back? I feel like most people getting this as an art roll would use or for that purpose.

I've been thinking about picking this up - thanks so much for the review! It definitely helped give me a better idea of what all can comfortably fit in it for when I head out into the world and still want to art. 😉😍

I was curious about this one for arting in the wild!

[@amandaserrano3249]

I just got one (Hoping it would be a more budget friendly alternative to the Sendak)! It’s still new so maybe it needs to break in a little more to get everything in. I am excited to take it out and really give it a go. Initial thoughts are I agree that the back pockets are of minimal use if using the elastic straps in front of that section. I wish it was just a smidge taller to fit pencils more comfortably. I also was disappointed that my small sketchbook doesn’t fit in the pockets. But I’m not sure if it would in the Sendak either. Overall, happy that it was more budget achievable for me and I do love the brown and marigold inside color!

I totally agree with you on wanting it to be a little taller so that it would fit paint brushes and pencils - the elastic slots do fit some of my pencils, the back pockets are a little less deep because of the stitching. I have seen a lot of artists using the back pockets on the Sendak to put their sketchbooks, seems like it interferes less with the stuff inside as they are not stacking on top of each other. I also feel like the Lochby would weigh a lot less with the lightweight fabric inside rather than three layers of the waxed canvas. I am also happy for now, it is working out just fine :)
