Yes, I really do have 4 different travel/plein air watercolor kits!

[@meaninc123]

Fellow michigander here. This video just popped up in my algorithm. I love your setups, especially the last one. I'm trying to get more into small sketches without using a whole plein air setup with tripod and backpack. Its a genius idea and now I'm motivated to create a set that works for me.

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

I'm so happy it inspired you! I'd love to hear about what you come up with. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@paintingtracey]

I am overwhelmed by how clever you are. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

Thanks so much, and you're very welcome! 😊

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

Those are MARVELOUS! I am really impressed with the ingenious design for your standing ultra-light kit you showed at the end. I just found your channel today, but seeing your yarns & crochet hooks in the back, along with your inventive ideas has convinced me that you're a wonderfully creative, like minded lady!

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

Oh, thanks so much, I really appreciate the encouragement! I definitely do a lot of different things. I can't help myself. There's too many fun things to do and not enough time in the day! 😄

[@TheKathept]

These are great! I love that you have made so many kits! I am a kit nut, too. I’ve made many for myself, family and friends. You’ve given me lots more ideas. Thanks!

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

Thanks! They are a little adictive aren’t they! 😄

[@chrisgregore359]

Oh my goodness ... your kits are so brilliant. I especially love your version of the Etchr mini slate. I would love to have one but they are so expensive. However, now I realize I can probably make my own. 😀Thank you SO MUCH, for sharing all of this. ❤

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

Thanks! I'm trying to get a video out on how I made mine. ❤️

[@wendyvancamp1738]

Loved to explore your painting kits! Some great ideas here. :)

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

Thanks so much! I really like putting them together.

[@samfromsocal]

Love your system!! Going to recreate this for myself. Also really love seeing how you use found objects to build your kit. Great great video!!

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

Oh, thank you! I really appreciate your feedback. ❤️

[@aizlynnjohnston9698]

At 5.46 you mention you use the lid of a metal box as a mixing surface. If I could make a recommendation, if you use Yupo paper cut to size and spray adhesive in place it makes a very nice white colour to mix paint on instead of the metal of the box. You can see the true colours. Yupo is a synthetic paper you can wipe clean after every use. It's very handy. Hope you find this useful. Cheers.

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

Thanks! I actually have a stack of it in my studio for my alcohol inks. I never thought of using it in that way. I'll have to try that! 😊

[@berolinastrassmann]

Thank you! This was such a well thought out collection of kits. I could tell that you packed according to what you felt you needed. Some tips were precious and new to me: Plastic to place on the floor tonplace bag or equipment, bladder bag and so much more. I am off to see your other kits! Thanks again.

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you got something out of it. 😊

[@poppyhali3648]

You have some great ideas I'm going to incorporate. I use a wrist sweatband for wiping brushes on. I also use put my Portable Painter Mini inside a wristband to give it a bit of extra protection, they're the perfect size. I wanted to see what you had in your pencil case in the second bag but you didn't show that. Only suggestion is maybe to practice your delivery a bit, to get a smoother presentation.

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

Thanks! I have often thought those wristbands would work well. Great idea to protect the mini! I posted a photo on my community page of what was in the pencil case. I had done a fair number do overs and missed opening it on this take. 🫤 This video is a year old, I think I've gotten a bit more comfortable. It was difficult trying to get everything I needed in the shot. Thanks so much for your feedback! 😊

[@dvalentino885]

Was amusing to watch and and to get useful ideas! Specially liked the last idea of using a neck strap, making the kit so available and Hands free!! Amazing and better flow ! Just stumbled on your video by chance, first timer, loved your landscapes on sketch book too 🎨 🖌️ Happy Paintings, Greetings from Portugal 🤗

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

Thanks so much! I'm gathering materials to record a video on how I made the standing kit. Thank you for the lovely comment! 😊

[@cindyharper6628]

I really enjoyed all the well put together, plein air kits, great ideas you have shared. I went for the first time this week , on a beautiful day in February. At first I sat in the car, then tried a bench. I did feel very anxious, trying to draw & paint quickly, hoping no one would judge my work.

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

I'm so glad you enjoyed them! I am a little obsessed, but I use them all. As for plein air, it does get easier every time you do it. Most people are just impressed that you're painting in public. Keep going out there - it's so worth it! 😊

[@andrapaitz4257]

Thank you for sharing this video. I have been working out how to build kits for the different places I find myself in. I am walking away with my head spinning with ideas. I am looking forward to checking out your other kits to see how they are set up as I also like to play in gouache and pastels.

I'm so glad it was helpful! I'm still working on recording my pastel and gouache kits. I do have a fun little alcohol ink kit recorded, though. 😊

[@dustinmyeye-trin]

Thanks so much! I watched my video to see what case you were talking about, and oh no! I totally missed showing what was in it. I think I lost it in a retake. 🫢 It has an assortment of smaller brushes, a small spray bottle, a micron pen, a water brush, a sepia prisma color, a Caran D'ashe white water soluble pencil and a taupe one, and a set of Studio Series watercolor crayons. I am going to try and link a photo of it in my description. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
