MY FAVORITE WATERCOLOR JOURNALING TRAVELING KIT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- I show my favorite art supplies when traveling and creating on the go. This shows two different palette options and options for a travel kit that weighs less than a half of pound. An aquabrush (water is held in the handle) has made creating so convenient that I can take it anywhere. I included a demonstration of the process near the end of the video.
Thank you for joining me on this journey!
Supplies:
Koi Watercolor Pocket Field Sketch Box 24 colors - (not the neon/pastel one)
Pentel Aquabrush - Large
Field Artist Watercolor Journal 3.5x3.5
Watercolor paper that I cut is 140lb. cold press Strathmore
White Pens: Gelly Roll or Art-n-Fly
Uniball EYE black (waterproof)
Prismacolor 005 black - fine tip marker
Mechanical pencil
Pipette

You make traveling with watercolor seem fun and accessible. I appreciate your suggestions about how to accommodate your creative needs AND the people you may be traveling with. 🙂
Thanks for watching! I'm thankful you found it helpful.
I love those aqua brushes! I'm a nurse, and been caregiving for over 15 years. I take those aqua brushes with my watercolor kit that includes watercolor pencils to emergency departments and hospital rooms often. I can create without making a mess anywhere and still caregive while working in my sketchbook. 🖌️🖌️🖌️
Thank you for all you do caring for others. I can't imagine how stressful it can be, but painting in a journal is fantasticly therapeutic. Thank you for watching.
Loving your videos! The plastic card with tape around it and the photo album for extra loose paper ideas are very clever! I’m adding those to my urban sketching gear
Yay! So glad you found something helpful in the video!
Thank you, love these ideas. ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!!!
You are an inspiration to me. Thank you so much for all your tips. I am a newby to watercolor but I want to do this.
I wish you well! My journey has been quite fun. Enjoy the ride and compete only with yourself 😉
Favorite travel palette is from Art Toolkit. Comes in several sizes, holds plenty of paint, so portable. They have great travel kits of various sizes.
I have a variety of other palettes since I filmed this one, but I'll check out the ones you suggested. Thanks!
Kari you have inspired me and your ideas make it easy for me to paint anywhere. I take my little altoid paint kit and water brush with me in my back pack and try to paint a bit on my lunch break or whenever I can. I bought a bigger travel paint set but I really love and use my homemade one most of the time. Thank you for taking the time to share your talent and ideas!
You are so very welcome! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. This made my day!!!
I love all your tips and enthusiasm for encouraging people to paint. Thank you. Made me want to subscribe.
Thank you do much for saying this! Art has been my creative escape for years, and I think everyone should experience the joy for themselves. I hope I can continue to encourage you. Thank you for subscribing 🙂
Super fun tip on the painter's tape! Oh I love painting and drawing leaves. So beautiful! I struggle with the capturing memories when I don't have time right now to make something that I like. Thanks!
Just enjoy the process and know we are our worst critic, plus...it's only a piece of paper. Practice makes progress. Happy painting 🙂
Thank you Kari - seeing anyone start watercolor & water brush makes me happy! I started 2 years ago & haven’t looked back - it’s magic and so easy to take anywhere. I have filled several sketchbooks & always make sure I have more on hand. The small books, pallets & waterbrush are so versatile I ever travel without them!
I totally agree! It's so freeing to be able to create anywhere. It makes me happy too!
I rarely comment at all but need to comment and marvel at your tenacity and your drawings. I love love this video please make more. I am also an art supply recovering addict and is now focusing on painting more. You inspired me to pick up my brush again! Thank you :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing this comment. It excites me to pass my passion on to someone else, and if this video helped you pick up a brush again, then I know I am on the right track. Creating art is a therapeutic escape that brings me peace. Happy painting! You made me smile 😃
Kari, I enjoyed this so much. You gave me a ton of ideas. I already have the Koi kit so I will have to try all your tips. I would love to come to Macon for a lesson! I'll be watching!
Thank you so much for watching and letting me know you got tons of ideas! I'll keep posting!!!
Thank you for your excellent video presentation! Love your travel sketching kit and, especially, the idea of attaching magnets to the paint pans. I am new to Aquabrushes and it was great to see them in use! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
You are so welcome! I hope you have fun playing with the brushes and become as addicted as I am with them. Happy painting
Can't believe I found you without even looking- you do amazing work!
Thanks, Marion! Glad to know you found my channel. Now you know the " other side of me."😉
Your enthusiasm is like a breath of fresh air! I can’t wait for it to warm up just a bit to venture into the realm of painting outdoors instead of the studio. The pipers tip is great and considering how often I use it at home, it’s a no brainer.
I'm excited the weather is warming here, I plan to spend a lot of time in the next few months working outside. Hope you get out there soon. Thanks for watching!
I so agree, love it
Thanks for watching 😊
Just found your channel and loved this video. As a newbie to art I am looking to learn and be exposed to the many set ups that artists use. Recently retired I now have the time to practice. Really liked your presentation and artwork Kari and have Subscribed to learn more! All the best from down under.🙏🇦🇺👍
Yay!!! So glad you found me! Most of my local students are like you, retired or about to be and want to learn something new to challenge them in their new life. Congratulations on your retirement. Please let me know how I can help.
Love the idea of having the swatch key on a flap so you still have your mixing surface 😁
Thanks for your comment! Glad you found the video helpful. 🙂
Great video..just getting back into painting and Nature journaling...love your tips ...thanks💐
I'm glad you found something helpful, and so glad you are getting back to creating. What's your favorite thing in nature to paint?
I like your style! You are generous to others, organised and talented!! Bravo!! Best wishes!! Now I am a subscriber.

Love your tip on taping card! Thanks
Thank you!
Love your ringtone:)
Thanks, that was one of my favorite songs in my early days.
Kari you’re Amazing!…thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful tips..
💙💜🌼🌸🌼💜💙
You are so kind!!! Thank you for taking the time to comment. This is one of my most popular videos. I'm glad you found it and that it was helpful.😃
Hey, Kari, you’re so kind as to share your mini tips and demonstration of the process! New subscriber here! Thank you so much for sharing these! Looking forward to watching your future videos!
Thank you so much for subscribing! This process is of posting on RUclips has such a learning curve. So glad you found this helpful. If you have any questions, please let me know.
@@KariWaltz sure I will! thank you!
This is so helpful. Thank you! I have the Cotman landscape set and love it. Will get the Pentel brush. Blessings. ❤
Susan in GA
Thanks for watching! Let me know how you like the water brush.
You are amazing. In one short video, I picked up so many excellent tips from supplies to techniques. I am learning and you are an excellent resource for my Kari. I will follow you!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I appreciate this so much. Watercolor Journaling has been a tremendous outlet for me, I'm thankful that what I shared was helpful to you.
Enjoyed your video, great idea to clip the paper towel.
I learned that the hard way! Thanks for your feedback, and for watching. It's most appreciated.
New subscriber here. Such a lot of good advice and I loved your paintings. 😍
Thank you so much! I am learning the video part and editing is a challenge. So hopefully things will improve as we go along. If there is something you are interested in seeing, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! I also have a pipette in my kit (even when I’m at home I find it easier to fill the water brush that way!). Last month was the first time I’ve really done a holiday sketchbook/journal and I loved it. I carried a few loose sheets in a pocket at the back of my book but I love your idea of putting the extra paper in a little photo album! Genius! I’ve also got a homemade altoids watercolour set. It’s similar to yours with the little magnets but I bought my half pans pre-filled which was an expensive way to do it (because I haven’t got tubes!). So far I’ve mostly drawn in pen and then coloured it afterwards but I really want to practice doing the watercolour first and then just adding a few pen details at the end, like your vase demo at the end, that looked so effective!
Thank you so much for your feedback and for watching the video to the end! That's MOST appreciated 🙂. I'm glad you've started journaling. Of all the artwork I am doing and have been doing, my grown daughters are more interested in my journals than anything else.
I use pipettes at home too. I'm continually trying different setups to find my favorite. It's become a fun obsession.
Happy painting, and thank you again for watching😃
Hi Kari, I love this video and your sweet personality. Plus you have some great tips here and your artwork is beautiful. =) I too, have my watercolors in a mini Altoids container. I have quarter pans and eleven will fit in the mini container. I didn't paint the top, I just cut a piece of plastic, from a yogurt container lid that was white and I used a piece of tape, folded to be double-sided, to hold the piece of plastic in and it works great for a mixing area. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. God bless! =)
Thank you so much for watching and giving me feedback. I have had so much fun learning how to share my passion with others, and watercolor journaling has made such an impact in my life! Sounds a bit crazy, but I've met so many people through sharing this process and it makes my creating convenient, so I have no excuse not to paint. I have never heard of quarter pans, I will have to try that! Thank you for the tip!
Thank you. Very helpful tips.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. So grateful it was helpful to you.
You are just charming. Something so sweet and wholesome about you. I’m a recently early retired nurse. Even tho I’m still young, (in my 50s)my body is just give out. But I do love to be able to put all my energy into my art now. I subscribed.
Thank you for being a nurse. I can't imagine how difficult the last few years have been. Congratulations on your retirement! I retired at 54 after 30 years of teaching, and that was 9 years ago!!!
So glad you can spend time on your art. It's a therapeutic escape that brings me peace,and I hope you find that as well.
Best of luck, and please reach out if you have a question I can answer.
Oh, thanks for subscribing!!!
Thank you! This is helpful. I enjoyed you today. I was a little lonely today, thinking about my nest being on its way to becoming empty and you feel like talking to a friend.
Thank you so much for telling me this. I want to be like a friend, and share what I've learned from others. My Mom likes watching them and they make her feel like she has had a visit from me. She lived 900 miles from me. Feel free to watch anytime.
Wow I love your tips on portable paper with the album, the pipet and the excellent idea of how to carry painters tape to use! That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing this information with us.
So glad you found this video and it was you liked the tips. I so appreciate you taking the time to write the comment. Thanks for watching!
@@KariWaltz You’re welcome.
Reading is not a happy place for me either, but I love to read to, that is a perfect time for painting or hand work. I also make my own watercolor blocks that fit in my travel kit.
I would love to know how you make your own watercolor blocks. How do you do that?
Lovely video..thanks much:)
Thank you for watching; hope it was helpful to you.
What type of white paint did you use for the small pallet?
True watercolor has no white, but leaves the white of the paper. This koi set had a white which makes the paint more opaque, but it's helpful at times. I now occasionally have white gouache that I can mix with any other color.
Where can your small journal sized book be purchased?
I usually get them online because my local art stores don't carry them.
Moleskine Art Watercolor Album, Hard Cover, Pocket (3.5" x 5.5") Plain/Blank, Black, 60 Pages a.co/d/9IxHVND
The smallest size 3.5x3.5 is no longer available.
Your lightweight palette could get lighter and smaller by using a dollar tree eyeshadow palette, take out makeup put your paint. Tape a white piece of paper on outside of lid for the mixing space. Much thinner than altoid tin .
Good idea...my smallest right now is a small Altoid tin. I might have to buy some eye shadow.🙃
@@KariWaltz take out the eyeshadow ins( that contain the shadow) bet a metal business card holder and the tins will fit....even smaller than make up case. I have a small zippered pouch that goes around biceps used for cell phones and I can also fit in a travel brush ,phone,watercolor. And several pieces of watercolor paper cut to size...big enough for a thumb nail sketch.
@@marjoriejohnson6535, thank you! That sounds like somethingI should try! Thanks for watching!
I looked on eBay for old cigar/ cigarette tins. They come in a large variety of sizes and shapes. So you can choose one that holds as many pans as you like. They are really cheap .
. I used white paint on the inside of the lid for a mixing area, put my paints in pans wieh magnets on them and it works so well . I don’t paint the outside . It doesn’t look expensive so I’m not afraid of it being stolen ( like I am wieh my pricy paintboxes)
I have a tone of paintboxes but I love my cigar/cigarette tin the best.
And I pack my kit in a waist bag , so it’s acessable in seconds. And it’s out of the way of what I’m doing.
