Chase Sutherland Ha, ha. Yeah, you could be right. It is fun to see how small you can make a kit and have it still be useful. However, when I’m running out the door to a family gathering or somewhere where I will be sitting a lot, it’s nice to have a small ready-to-go kit.
Travel kits are my LIFE BLOOD. Seriously, it’s like everything to me. This is a really complete and well-rounded setup! I think possibly the bulkiest part of this set is the bag itself, and even that’s no so bad! Really love the magnet on your water reservoir! I’ve been toying with using those clip-on metal reservoirs that are generally meant to be used for oil painting and slid onto your palette, but using a water brush so often has made that take a back seat for now. Thanks for the tour! I’ll have to do something similar on my channel because I’m betting something I do will inspire someone else, just like your magnetized water cup has for me.
It's such a blast to see how much you can squeeze into a small footprint. These little kits, like this, have kind of reintroduced fun back into painting, for me. Looking forward to checking out your channel!
Brian Ashmore Studio truly, ive found that the more and more i simply my setup, the more and more joy it brings me, and the more likely I am to use it any time, anywhere.
I just stumbled upon your video and man am I impressed! I too have purchased the Whiskey Painters boxes and received their plastic watercolor containers. I love how you magnetized the water container in addition to your pouch and collapsible water container. Bravo! ps: Excellent video. Thanks for posting!
This is one of my favorite set up's so far. Love researching these go art kits. The magnet on the small water pot is brilliant. 👍 Overall, it's easy to throw in any bag to create on the go. 👏👏
I love how compact your kit is. I use a zipper type ziplock bag and this is even more compact if anything. I enjoyed the dog drinking loudly, made me laugh. :)
Yeah, it seems like my dogs ignore what I'm doing until I start trying to film something. Then, they want outside, get drinks 4 feet away, etc. Cant win. Ha, ha!!
That's a nice little compact kit. I haven't gotten that small yet. I find six half pans to be the least I can work with, eight or twelve are better. I carry the travel brushes but would like a flat and I haven't found one yet. Plien air sketching on a small scale is about all I can get away with so I try to get a couple of photos before leaving the site.
I've just started dabbling with Art at 42 years of age. I'm kind of useless at it and I get disheartened but I am a firm believer in the old adage, " Practice makes perfect", so I will push on. Perhaps by retirement in 25 years time I will be able to sketch well enough to be satisfied with my attempts. This is a great video. I am thinking of building such a kit to get me out and about sketching and painting rather than sitting in the house. Especially during the spring/summer and autumn.
I'm a new subscriber! Love your super compact watercolor kit and the way you explain things to the point, keeping it simple. Thanks for the inspiration 👌
Thank you for sharing! I do love seeing how different setups are for each person. You’re able to place so much in this little pack, it’s awesome. You also have some amazing work in your sketch book!
Thank you for sharing. I love viewing other’s little watercolor travel kits! You always find innovated ideas by those kind enough to let you peak inside. I have two travel kits myself, one is larger the other is about the size of yours. Both of these are equally as packed, lol.
Great kit - gives me a few ideas. And I love your little watercolor sketches! Thanks very much for sharing your setup; you’re right, we are interested!
Pretty awesome setup. I’m an aspiring illustrator and your setup was very inspiring for me to do something similar. I’ve subscribed and look forward to more videos.
I love those tiny palettes! I use a zipped washbag, and a tatami style brush mat with a couple of straight sided rigid plastic dessert cups on the ends, they slip in a small tote easy along with a watercolour book. I also swop palettes out as needed. I love your magnetised water pot. Great video....
Love your mini kit and paintings--that magnetized water container is slick, definitely gonna try that! 👍🎨 I love art kits--I have a small, medium, and large kit depending on where I am and what I'm doing (have a video on it) and like you, I love watching these type of videos--thanks for sharing!
This was really great, I'm always trying (and failing) to downsize my travel art kits. I've not seen the Caran D'ache waterbrush pens, I've been using the Pental ones.
Kelly Bear Thanks! I really like the Caran D’ache brushes because they allow you to refill them easily on the go. Since they refill like a syringe, it’s easy to dip them, pull, and keep painting.
Hi Brian, this is a very inspiring video. Thanks for sharing such an awesome travel kit. Beautiful paintings too. I'm piecing together my own version but I can't seem to find a container similar to your screw top squat shaped water pot (I've got magnets I can use). Can you please suggest where I can find something like that?
That's brilliant how you unbent the clip. I have one of these cups and I never use it because when it's clipped to my sketchbook it takes up sketching room or drips onto the page, and also makes the pages all ratty. I've often wished I could clip it to the pallette but it never occurred to me to modify it this way. Thanks!
Sure! I was just messing around with it and trying to come up with something that would let me use a magnet and it just sort of worked out. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing your travel kit. Pretty nice and I enjoyed your rationale of why you carry specific items. I wish you the best on your new endeavor. God bless.//Chuck
Thanks for the video Brian. I'm a Maxpedition addict and was just looking at the pouches on Amazon. Wasn't sure what size to get for my mini palette, then found this video. Love how it's all contained, held in well and accessible. Kudos!😉
Hi, I love your setup - I think it's the best one I've seen. I've been looking for a case like that and can't find one that matches - can you remember the type of Maxpedition case I should be looking for please? This is really useful - thank you very much!
I've been searching for what seems forever for the reservoir jar with the metal clip thayou straightened and added a magnet. Do you know where I can find one for sale ? Loved your video. Its like a list of everything one needs to travel. Thanks for sharing.
Hello, were can we find all this stuff you are showing us here? I, especially linke the little white water tank with the black lid and the magnet under. Where can I buy this?
You are inspiring! It becomes back breaking when i travel and want to bring my art kit.(Sakura Koi 24 is not small anymore!) Il try to follw your style. Love your artwork too!!! That dog!!
Brian Ashmore Studio yes it is! I have mine setup mainly because My husband wants me to go fishing with him. Inwant to paint so we comprised. And I have been watercoloring a lot more around out apt. I love sitting outside our do of just sketching & painting. I'm not very good at it but I'm getting better at it
Thank you Brian. An ingenious kit and a well presented video. Dog noises added homely touch. Would it be possible to add details of manufactured items such as the bag. Looks like Maxpedition? Not sure if possible to get in UK . I am a new subscriber and I shall be looking out for more of your videos. Cheers, Derek.
I like your compact kit very much Brian. I am on an eternal quest to find the perfect mini kit which would let me paint on the go but every time I go to paint plein air, I end up carrying a large bag with many things which I "might" need :) I am inspired by your video to go light next time. Very nice and helpful video & thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! It IS tough to narrow things down and I feel like I could do a much better job myself. Like you said, it's tough to not include things that you think you might need... even if the chance is small.
I firmly believe that it's a sport to see how compact of a watercolor set someone can make
Chase Sutherland Ha, ha. Yeah, you could be right. It is fun to see how small you can make a kit and have it still be useful. However, when I’m running out the door to a family gathering or somewhere where I will be sitting a lot, it’s nice to have a small ready-to-go kit.
Brian Ashmore Studio Exactally! Its extremely useful having a small kit. Especially during long waits in a waiting room or at an airport.
hahaha yess still going on in 2024!
I've been binging on people's watercolor travel kits and this one is my favorite. It's so handy, it's cute and tiny, it's complete, and just... oooooo
Thanks very much! I've enjoyed using it.
This is one of the most compact, well-thought out paint kits i have ever seen. Well done!!
Great idea with the magnet on the medium cup.
Robyn Jorde Thanks, Robyn!
@@brianashmorestudio Would love to find one. Searched and searched.
I liiiiiive to see what others carry in their kits! Those shampoo bottles are genius! Thank you for sharing!
Travel kits are my LIFE BLOOD. Seriously, it’s like everything to me.
This is a really complete and well-rounded setup! I think possibly the bulkiest part of this set is the bag itself, and even that’s no so bad!

Wow your paintings are fantastic!
Love your mini art kit. You are very skilled and talented artists. I like all your work especially the truck.
This is why I love watercolor: it can be tiiiiiny and still FUNCTIONAL :3
I just stumbled upon your video and man am I impressed! I too have purchased the Whiskey Painters boxes and received their plastic watercolor containers. I love how you magnetized the water container in addition to your pouch and collapsible water container. Bravo!

The tiny water reservoir with the magnetic arm is so ingenious! Love it! 🥰
Thank you for the inspiration, I made one very similar to yours for my six months backpacking trip here soon and been testing it out. Works great.
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy seeing what others use also.
6:06 i also love it. Nice video. Love your drawings. Thank you for sharing.

Love the idea of the scrunchie to hold open the book, also straightening and adding a magnet to the water cup! You’ve got really nice DIY hacks.
Map edition pouches are fantastic! Thank for sharing!
This is the most comprehensive travel kit I've come across in a while
Very cool. Thank you for posting this kit tour.

Refining my travel kit now getting inspiration. Very fun video thanks.

Thanks very much!! I appreciate it.
Thank you so much for sharing your setup. I'll be taking a few ideas from it. 😊
Thank you for sharing. I love viewing other’s little watercolor travel kits! You always find innovated ideas by those kind enough to let you peak inside. I have two travel kits myself, one is larger the other is about the size of yours. Both of these are equally as packed, lol.
I'd love to know the colors in your palette 🎨
Welcome -- this is the tiniest kit I've seen yet!
Great kit - gives me a few ideas. And I love your little watercolor sketches! Thanks very much for sharing your setup; you’re right, we are interested!
Jean Breheney Thanks very much, Jean!!
Very interesting and love your setup. I find myself doing the same and always love looking at others travel kits also.
Love this little kit. I'm addicted to them. I'd like to know what colors you use. Watercolor in pans looks alike. Only yellow is obvious. Thanks.
Hi Amy, Thanks for watching! I plan to do a video on my color palette within the next couple of weeks. I've had a few people ask...
Super cute! I love this!
Pretty awesome setup. I’m an aspiring illustrator and your setup was very inspiring for me to do something similar. I’ve subscribed and look forward to more videos.
Laura D Thanks! It's fun to have your studio supplies for illustration but also have the option to "go portable" when you want or need to.
great kit. I love what you did with the magnet. Thumbs up on recycling the shampoo bottles too,
suzanne chalk Thank you!!... and thanks for watching!
thats seriously the cutest/smallest watercolour box i have ever seen
Melartice I know, right?! Ha, ha. It's one of my favorites despite its small size and limited mixing area.
Great artwork! Thx for sharing your kit.
I love those tiny palettes! I use a zipped washbag, and a tatami style brush mat with a couple of straight sided rigid plastic dessert cups on the ends, they slip in a small tote easy along with a watercolour book. I also swop palettes out as needed. I love your magnetised water pot. Great video....
Lindy Ashford Thank you! These kits are fun to put together and yours sounds great!
Love your mini kit and paintings--that magnetized water container is slick, definitely gonna try that! 👍🎨 I love art kits--I have a small, medium, and large kit depending on where I am and what I'm doing (have a video on it) and like you, I love watching these type of videos--thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! It is great to have different kits for different situations.
Where did you get bag? And is there a model number or style number? Thanks for the share!
Well done and nice artwork! Keep it up, I look forward to your future videos.
I love it! Thanks for sharing!
This was really great, I'm always trying (and failing) to downsize my travel art kits. I've not seen the Caran D'ache waterbrush pens, I've been using the Pental ones.
Kelly Bear Thanks! I really like the Caran D’ache brushes because they allow you to refill them easily on the go. Since they refill like a syringe, it’s easy to dip them, pull, and keep painting.
Your art work is fabulous and I like how you travel light I wish I did lol
Love your Idea ❤️
Great idea for the mini water well + magnet.
Thanks!
Hi Brian, this is a very inspiring video. Thanks for sharing such an awesome travel kit. Beautiful paintings too. I'm piecing together my own version but I can't seem to find a container similar to your screw top squat shaped water pot (I've got magnets I can use). Can you please suggest where I can find something like that?
By far, my favorite EDC/Travel art set up. You are a very talented artist. Really enjoyed!
That's brilliant how you unbent the clip. I have one of these cups and I never use it because when it's clipped to my sketchbook it takes up sketching room or drips onto the page, and also makes the pages all ratty.

Que14kt Thanks very much, Chuck! I really appreciate it! God bless.
I thought the water cup was a Diva Cup lol. Really well thought out piece of kit
Thank you for sharing! Best art kit video so far🍂
Would love to see more of your work 💜💜💜💜💜.
Good video. I like you traveling kit. Thank you.
oksusha2000 Thanks for watching!
Wow you're so talented. I thought your paintings were photographs. 😍
Wow! Amazing, i have around 7 different configurations trying to be compact, but nothing like yours. Good stuff
That magnetised water thingy you adapted is great!
Lynn Ede Thanks! It works pretty well. Thanks for watching!
Such an organized travel kit. I love the idea of the magnetized reservoir, so resourceful! And your paintings are beautiful! 💓
Thanks so much!!
Absolutely amazing! Intriguing! And cool!
Love kits. I love love the truck painting. It’s beautiful
Thanks! That was a fun little one.
Thanks for the video Brian. I'm a Maxpedition addict and was just looking at the pouches on Amazon. Wasn't sure what size to get for my mini palette, then found this video. Love how it's all contained, held in well and accessible. Kudos!😉
Mickey Monson Hi Mickey, it’s a great size for a small kit. I just carried mine with me today to a Mothers Day function. Thanks for watching!
Love it!!! How many items you put inside is amazing!!!!
Hi, I love your setup - I think it's the best one I've seen. I've been looking for a case like that and can't find one that matches - can you remember the type of Maxpedition case I should be looking for please? This is really useful - thank you very much!
I found the case on Amazon, it's called Maxpedition Fatty Pocket organizer. I like the whole setup too.
Thank you Shannon!
I've been searching for what seems forever for the reservoir jar with the metal clip thayou straightened and added a magnet. Do you know where I can find one for sale ? Loved your video. Its like a list of everything one needs to travel. Thanks for sharing.
This is so far the best art travel kit i saw in youtube..
Thank you!... and thanks for watching!!
I like the little water reservoir, where did you get that? The magnet idea is billiant.
Your stuff are so cool, from where you got the bag and the magnetic water holder thing?
Interesting video. Thank you for posting.
Your magnetic invention is fucking brilliant! Love that!
I've been watching some of your videos. You have some great ideas.
hairboy32001 Thanks!... and thanks much for watching!
This kit is so cute, and creative! Keep it up!! Also.. Love your art!!!😘💗

Thank you, very useful video!
This is so cool! And helpful, thank you
Thanks for watching!!
Have you tried the Swedish Dish Clothes??? They work WAY better than paper towels! (And take up less room.)
Great kit Brian. What size is the moleskin sketchbook please
Excellent. Thank you.
Does those little contracted brush really work ?
You are inspiring! It becomes back breaking when i travel and want to bring my art kit.(Sakura Koi 24 is not small anymore!) Il try to follw your style. Love your artwork too!!! That dog!!
Thanks so much!... It is really great to have a small set always at the ready. It makes it so much easier to always have something along.
Brian-
What colors are in your mini palette?
Thank you
Love this! Anyone knows where to get the clip on jar in eu?
Great set. I want one of those tiny palettes!
Allan Engelhardt They are very fun! 😂
I really like your kit! I've been watercoloring for eyes & I have somethings set up too. Tfs. You gave me some more ideas.
Thanks for watching! It's a lot of fun to set up a kit like this, isn't it? :)
Brian Ashmore Studio yes it is! I have mine setup mainly because My husband wants me to go fishing with him. Inwant to paint so we comprised. And I have been watercoloring a lot more around out apt.

Hi Brian, since my last message I checked on Amazon and found the Maxpedition Fatty Pocket Organiser. Is this the one? Derek.
Would the magnet work also on the double metal container do you think? And would it hold?
Nice little setup, new subscriber ,came over from draw paint repeat.😀
Thanks!! Steve's work is jaw-dropping! Thanks for the sub!!
You are so talented!!!
Cassidy Curtis Thanks! Thanks for watching!
The bag that all this is in what is it and can you find it on amazon?
Art By Anthony V. Hi Anthony, Yes, it is on Amazon and it is called the Maxpedition Fatty.
I like your compact kit very much Brian. I am on an eternal quest to find the perfect mini kit which would let me paint on the go but every time I go to paint plein air, I end up carrying a large bag with many things which I "might" need :) I am inspired by your video to go light next time.

How about glueing the magnet to the collapsible cup?
