Traveling With Watercolors

- I don't travel a ton, but since I just went on a big international trip, and I have another quick trip scheduled, I figured it was a good time to talk about what I like to take. For all of the different cases I show in this video, please got to my Amazon storefront at www.amazon.com...

I use an expired gift card to wrap my favorite tape around several times. That way it lays flat and is easy to take along. Happy painting
@@ednarobbins1005 Oh that is SUCH A GOOD idea!! I am definitely stealing it. Thanks for sharing!! 😘
I use a dollar tree fishing tackle box. It holds everything. Enjoy your family trip ❤❤❤
Yes! I have a couple of those for my art supplies as well. They work great!
The items you have packed to take to Canada is exactly what i carry in my daily "go everywhere" bag (minus the cute little sketchbook, of course lol). I am constantly running my 14 and 15 year old boys places and I tend to spend a lot of time sitting around waiting for them. So i love to whip out my paints when/if I get a creative urge lol. So i think what you have packed is perfect! Now I have to get one of those "lunch box style" bags. Its so cute! Right now, my stuff is just loose in my bag. Off to Amazon I goooooooooo!!!
I am a world traveler but NOT an artist. I love to putz with watercolor and follow your tutorials. My supplies, except paper, fit into a Pringles can. Lol.
What a great idea! You could even roll up a few sheets of watercolor paper to put in there as well!
@@catherineb2595 i am not an expert either. Far from it, actually lol. And WOW! I never thought to use a Pringles can. What a great idea especially for brushes!! 👍
I was going to be admitted to the hospital and hurried up and packed a zipper pouch with 12 watercolor pans, and about the same pens, markers, regular and a couple watercolor pencils, clip, cheap water brush, an 8 and a 10 round and my 5x7 sketchbook. The pouch was kind of stuffed, but still closed and fit in the square side pocket of my usual hospital bag. I did leave personal toiletries and medication at home and that freed up space in the bag overall. I figured they would give me the basics there. I was laughing at myself, but I knew I would be miserable without any art supplies, even just to take out and doodle with. I need to find a stick in the backyard!
@@jojocatattack Yuo, I completely agree: art supplies before personal hygiene supplies! 😆 Especially when you are going somewhere where they supply them such as a hospital, hotel, etc.!
You can get collapsible water bowls at dollar tree in the pet supply aisle. I would add a gift card for mark making and one of those clear wax crayons found in Easter egg dye kits for a resist.
Can’t wait to hear about where you went in Canada! The suspense is killing me! 😂 my guess is a quick city escape.. perhaps Toronto or Montreal.
How fun- being organized is great. Love the take along bag when I travel I always bring items so I can create along with exercise bands - have a great trip 🎨🤩
I hope you have a WONDERFUL TIME!!
I hope you have a wonderful trip. I too always take art supplies in the airplane because I think it would be much more enjoyable than watching old reruns of Friends or a movie on a 5x7 screen. I never use the art supplies though.
However I have an upcoming long flight (10 hours) and I will try preparing some pages of circles or maybe your neurographic jellyfish and take a waterbrush to just fill in with colors. It really would be calming after the stress of getting to the airport on time, getting through security, etc etc
I find the plane “vibrates” too much. I have a hard time working on my sketchbook during a flight. I do take notes, though. On post-its. So if the plane moves suddenly, I don’t wreck my sketchbook, but I know when I land what I want to write.
You can just use a small jar too. Oh! There are baby palettes in Amazon that come with a metal jar you can clip onto your book. I have that bag. I use it as a desk all the time. Even at home.
Have a lovely trip! ❤
I take a couple of little containers. Then i can put water in them and walk to where I want to paint. Mine came from the dollar store, but are suprisingly water tight. The lids are deep so you can pour water into the lid and reserve that for clean water.
I have a pouch similar to yours but it only has one “flap” inside. It’s from a store called 5 and Below. Tip for site painting. I saw a creator use a terry wristband to wiper her brush. Just thought it was a good tip. I love love love your videos 🥰💜
Welcome to Canada!!! I giggled at your emotional support stick as I would call it! Also have you thought of using a wrist sweatband thingy for wiping the paint and water on?? :) Enjoy your trip!!!!
@@nursenikki1776 That's what I use instead of rags or paper towels! I bought quite a few off Temu for super cheap. Funny thing is sometimes when I am putting my stuff away quickly, I forget to take it off and end up with a paint stained wrist later on! 🤣
@@Councilof8for43 lmao got mine from Temu too! Glad it works for you as well!
Earlier this year I traveled to visit my daughter. I packed three zip pouches which took up nearly all my tote bag! I used maybe half the art supplies. Next year I will pack smarter. Thank you for the tips. And I need that travel bag that "looks like a lunch box." It will be much more efficient than three pouches!
I have mine down to a “quite small” zippered “bag” plus my small sketchbook.
I take a collapsible water cup.
And you guys are amazing. The fact that you and Lacy put in links to each others videos and for their sales... that's pretty awesome. More women need to learn how to build each other's businesses up like you guys do! Support and encourage each other. Great example ladies. And thank you for sharing in your beautiful art. Thank you for making it attainable and therapeutic to me again
That zippered pouch - you need it to have sides. It will fit much more and in a smaller space.
Mine has “sides” like a box pillow does. It also has a clear top so I can immediately see what’s in there. It’s quite small. Like the turquoise one. Mine was even smaller. It fits everything I take, including brushes. I take travel brushes, or sometimes I just cut off the end of my wooden brush. Also, use the clear ends (like a straw), you know, a protector for the end of the brush. Travel brushes come in different sizes. Also, I didn’t like the aqua brushes at first either. But you do get used to them.
I only take a few of my favorites. A few colored pencils, a few pens (I chose a color theme for the trip), a few brushes. And a small palette. It all fits into my little bag. My 4x6” sketchbook is separate.
I have also decided that all of my sketchbooks for travel are 4x6”. I love them lined up on my shelf.
Have a great time! Always appreciate your experienced (and witty and gentle) advice!
Not sure where to reach you- I just got your paints, sketch book. Wow both high quality, I swatched colors and will play today- huge difference from cheep craft store 🥰🎨🧑🎨🎉
I hope you have a wonderful time! I have something like the bag you're taking that I use all the time, and it's really great for what I need it to do.
If someone wants a higher number of paint colors but still needs to keep it small, there's a very cool ceramic mini palette set that Stephanie Law designed (Etchr is producing it) that comes in a little tin case - you get a palette with either 19 or 37 wells, and then a second ceramic dish for mixing your paints. They're about 3 inches across. I took mine to Greece a few years ago, and it worked really well for me.
Have a great time.. it’s always hard to decide what to bring on trip, and most times I don’t make time on my trips to paint even I bring it, I still will bring it
Wishing you and your family a great time in Canada. Have fun!!🎨🧳🛫💖💖💖
You really do make my day! Next weekend we return my son to college (which suddenly makes him sound like a library book) and I know I’ll want to be able to paint the beach but I also know I’ll have no space or time so this helps me streamline! One brush, one wee palette, one little book!
Maybe two brushes. And also I can’t forget my son 🤔
Have a great family trip
I can see making a strap to turn it into a cross body. Hands free! Have fun on your trip.
Questions? Please give sizes on the items. Posca paint pen? Tosca? Your pens? what are they? What size white Signo pen? Who is Lacy?
Lacy's channel is Rebel Unicorn. She's amazing.
So why didn’t the designers place the elastic cord on one Velcro page diagonally. That way 2 to 3 brushes would fit easily
I use an IKEA kids (mala) portable case. It’s not as deep as yours is but it’s bigger. Previously I just used a mesh bag the size of you zipper one and packed all my loose supplies in that with my paper in whatever I could find. I like the MALA but wish it was a little deeper and a different colour.
Fun video. Love the longer vids. I use my travel brushes all the time. The bristles stay safe
I took a bunch of things to Nova Scotia. Next year, just a few basics because all I used was my small set of watercolours, 2 water brushes, eraser, pencil, 2 black liners, 1 white posca pen, one sketchbook and a handful of my most used luminance pencils. I painted 2 pages from start to finsish while I was there but did more when I got home from my photos. I also had two or three pages started with my base colours and finished them when we were there. It's just hard for me to find that block of time to zone in on painting if you've been out doing the tourist thing all day.
I use it as my “down time” at the end of the day.
But yeah, I finish at home as well.
I so feel the motor planning and get that!! I may have to check that out. I got a cute little travel painting set on Amazon, just need a smaller book, but have post cards in the mean time.
I'm going to the beach for a few days in Oct. and that little artist lunchbox is absolutely perfect for my trip! It's the thing I didn't know I needed. Thank you so much for sharing. And I agree that Derwent water brush is just bougee they're pretty much all the same.
I am definitely getting one as well. It's perfect!
Do you want to pack your water container? Love your personality!❤
Nice! Where in Canada are you going? Hope you have a great time here! 🇨🇦♥️
So much better than the Walmart reusable bag I’ve been using! 😂
Like it. unusual editing~ so long- Andrea,
Have a great trip!
I live in Canada! Enjoy.
I'm coming to you for some help I need brushes watercolor brushes I cannot buy any in my town I'm right in the middle of trying to get my disability and I'm completely but without
An income of any kind I really need watercolor brushes and watercolor paints I don't care what kind they are just as long as they work if you do donate appreciate it ahead of time my address is 1850 Cranston road Morehead Kentucky 40351
Andrea, thanks for your honest opinion. Is there a story behind the stick?😊
Have fun!!
You are wonderful. I love this video.
Hey! Any chance you would sell that GORGEOUS purple tulip piece? 💜💜💜
Cool “show and tell” ( also partial to those colours). Some of my best watercolours are decades old and dried onto a plastic lid.
Greetings from SW ON 🇨🇦
Thanks for another informative fun video. Love to see your eyes light up when you speak of spending time with your family ❤
This is exactly what I needed to see - going to a few national parks for my honeymoon in the fall and was looking for products just like this. Thank you!
I love you Andrea! You make me smile and giggle out loud. My husband and I are taking a road trip to the mountains and I would like to take some of my water color supplies with me. This was very helpful. Thank you! 💕
I found a marker bag that zips similar. So far I love traveling with it! Hope this one treats you well. Have the best time.
I got some super cheap water brushes and it's so hard to open them so I'm stuck with one that still has water in it the others I'll try to open again before I just toss them 😮 Have a great vacation ❤
Omg I would love a zipper pouch with ur big octopus on it ! Or even the jelly fish that would be so awsome ❤
I have Lacy's travel brush and I adore it.
Kindly share your watercolour kit brand
I hope you all have a lovely time. 🩵
Thank you!
Great ideas!!
