This video is the first in a series on keeping a stay at home travel journal because just because we are not traveling these days doesn’t mean that we can’t keep a creative, cool record of our days, especially through these crazy days. So today I want to show you what I keep in take-along art kit.

When I first discovered illustrated journal keeping I was told that the first, number one rule was - never go anywhere without your portable art kit on you. If you do this, if you are ready to work at any time. I am rarely without my supplies which means I can make pages in coffee shops, dr’s offices, parks, wherever I find myself. So let me introduce you to my portable art studio.
• Waterbrushes (I use Pentel)
• Variety of fineliner pens
• Pencils
• White gel pen
• Bamboo dip pen
• Scissors (mine are Cutter Bee)
• Pencil sharpener
• Eraser
• Palette
• Portable watercolour kit
• Bag with pockets
Here are the links to some of the items I rely on. Note, I am not paid by any of these companies.

"But basically, yeah. I take this everywhere." is pretty much me everytime my partner and I leave the house and he's eyeing all the art supplies I'm stuffing in my bag.😂
Ain't it the truth. I didn't say so in the video but I have all but sprained my back toting this stuff around: "Just one more pen. Oh, and this stamp. And this stencil. And....." 😁
I love a messy, lived in, used art travel kit! I always see videos of pristine kits and feel a little anxious because if I had something g so fancy and pricey, I’d forever be worried about splotching it up! I have a couple of leather travelers notebooks and after awhile I ended up purposely distressing and adding ink drops so I would be free! 😂.
Yes! Exactly. My most recent video is all about preparing an intimidating pristine blank book so that you have permission to make a mess and be perfectly imperfect. But I have had bad luck when flying with fountain pens. Don't even ask me about what happened when I had one in the pocket of a white jacket. 😎
Oops - thank you for sharing!! So very inspiring.
I also just resubscribed to your newsletter on the site! ;)
Thank you so so so much!
Kelly, has anyone told you you sound like Siri? The first few seconds of the video especially 😂 Loved this content though, keep it up.
Hi Elise. Maybe it is my nonspecific accent that comes from being raised in Mississippi but having lived in Britain for almost 20 years? Combined with utter stage fright that I have when I press the red button to start filming. Whew! 😉😁
I'm not sure that's a compliment....
Thanks, Kelly. You’re chocked full of great practical details and advice. I’m migrating away from my summer studio on the River for a few months and was sleepless thinking about how to carry it all on my back. Ta da!! 🐢🐢🐢
Wow, this is just what I want to hear! I take that bag everywhere - even to church and once to a funeral; pretty sure that God does not disapprove. Bon voyage!
i love this travel bag! I've been looking for something that was just the right size and then wondering what exactly to put in it that would give me everything i need when I'm out and about. i have all the supplies and then some, but want to narrow it down. can your art journal or paint pad/sketchbook fit in your bag with everything else in it? and do you carry your traveling kit in a separate tote, or do you carry it all in a giant shoulder bag? I'm trying to eliminate extraneous weight to keep my bag healthy, so I'm always talking to people about what/ how they carry their goodies. Thank you, as always!💗
back healthy, not bag healthy - sorry!
Hi Robyn, funny you should ask because I am making a video for this week of What's In My Carry On Bag, as I am flying to France on Friday and need to be prepared for anything (airlines hate us) and NOT do my back or shoulder in. When I am actually there and taking my art kit to draw in cafés and churches, I have a light-weight backpack. Also, I try to have a thinner sketchpad with paper covers to pinch hit if the hardback one gets heavy. So basically backpack - art kit, sketchbook, notebook, phone, and that's it.
I love your videos. Is there any way you can show your entire art set up? You seem to have a lot!
Hi Demi and thank you! I have been thinking of doing a studio tour. Maybe I should start with something smaller such as just a browse of the art supplies. Funny, for a lot of time I didn't have much money and bought one, little thing at a time, but it grew and grew. But I love it all so.😸🌞🌞🌞
His was very helpful. I just started an art journal and wanted to do some of it outside. Thanks, treen 💕💕💕
Thank you, Treen. These portable kits continue to evolve as I try to take out stuff and make it lighter but still have lots of things to play with. It's a process! Kelly
They do not pay me, although I wish they would. LOL!!!
Hi Angela. Just thought I would hint to the craft supply universe. You never know! 😁
Thanks for the Walnut ink mini spray idea. Definitely going to borrow that!
Hey, thank you and welcome. I sometimes use a mix of navy blue ink and water, as well. It really goes with a lot of stuff. 😁
@@BookandPaperArts great idea as well!
Great vid I do wish you would consider making a recent supplies vid . Love your vids thank you ✨
Why thank you for asking. I have been thinking about it but it would be the third time I have done a version of this. Too much? It's basically once a year.
@@BookandPaperArts oh would be so great as your explaining is so vivid and clear, a heads-up on your material would be confidence building. But of course all up to you, not me 💫
Kelly, I can't find your version of your art kit on the website?
this is a great video, really enjoyed watching your ideas :-)
Thank you so much! Hope you come back soon, as I post every Friday. Have a creative week. 🌷🌼🌻
What size is your orange bag? I see on Amazon that it comes in two sizes.
Hi Paris. Mine is 10" x 7" (24cm x 18cm). But I also have the larger sleeve size and love love it, too. For my laptop and pens, etc.
@@BookandPaperArts thanks for the A Gallo watercolor link. I can see that the colors are very rich and pigmented, guess I am going to have to gift myself a set as well 😉
Where can I get a brush like that? 2ended one.
Hi, Kathy. Not sure which one you mean since I don't use double-ended ones (must look like it, though). If it is a waterbrush, you can buy them online or in any craft store. I use them ALL the time. If you want a double-ended brush, you can buy watercolour markers that have a fine point on one end and a broader brush on the other. Let me know if I can clarify! 😊
