Pretty close to what you take. One challenge is how much paper to take as one may not be in a place to buy more. Watercolor blocks can be useful. The sketchbook is a must. On some trips I do not take an easel but plan on doing The Who trip with a sketchbook or use a WC block. So I sit and paint...also an inflatable sit pad so I can sit anywhere if the bench or rock is dirty or wet. That pad is a must have.
The metal palette isn't a Holbein, but I can't tell you what brand it is as I have had it forever ( bought it in Scotland) and I can't see any branding on it. The colours I use in that palette are the same as the colours I use in my studio pallette. There is another video covering that. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the question xara art - Well, it depends on how much other stuff I am taking, but usually I take the same colours. Occasionally I cut back a bit and leave out Burn't Umber, Raw Umber and Viridian (Pthalo)... but what's another three tubes? Probably equals the weight and space of a pair of socks 😄
@@charles-sluga Thank you for the reply😊 And true, even tho it doesn't take up much space, it's something I'd have to consider if I ever wanna travel with tubes. So far I am just using halfpans in a little box and only bring the colours I think I need with me. 🤔 Anyways, I hope u r having a great time!
Very useful. I always like to see what various artists take with them. Have a great trip !!!!! Sounds like fun.......
Thanks Susan. I will do my best to have fun😉
Have a great trip!
Thanks Stephanie. I will.
Thanks Charles - very useful infomation . Have a great time and see you when you get back . Kind regards - Judi - Kialla
Thanks Judi. Yes, I am hoping it will be a great trip. It usually is, so no need to think otherwise...or is there? No...there isn't.

Ooooh, I like the sound of the inflatable sit pad. What a great idea. I'm going to look into it. Thanks for the tip.
Good times in Tuscany...Enjoy! Looking forward to scenes from Croatia...on my bucket list to go with you one day!
Hey Sandra, I have already pencilled you in for Croatia 😄
I'll pack for you in 2020!! There's a ghostly portrait of you on the base of your expandable water container - intentional?!? 😆
Not intentional, but maybe I could use it somehow.
Thank you for sharing that was great keeping it simple. Enjoy your travels Charles and have a safe trip, looking forward to seeing your vids.
Thanks Craig. In Hong Kong at the moment having a stop over to break up that awfully long flight to Europe.
Interested to know which colours you have in that Holbein metal palette

Do u take the same colours travelling that r in ur big palette, or do u choose a selected few to travel lighter?
