Have you ever traveled with a bunch of your favorite art journal travel supplies for a workshop or urban sketching trip, but then never really used most of it?
Or maybe you never walked around with your big journal kit and sketchbooks, because it was all too heavy?
It’s counterintuitive, but creating an ultra portable travel watercolor sketching kit, with just the essential art supplies can make it easier to create when you’re on the go, because you’ll always have your art supplies with you!
But what travel art supplies should you bring? What to pack in your urban sketching kit?
What if you want to bring a little bit of everything? How do you choose from a bazillion different portable watercolor kits, and all the good advice and gear from pro urban sketchers (I’m not one!)
I love to add collage and play with mixed media in my travel journals, which means having adhesive. I have too many favorite black ink pens and also use pencils. The list is getting long!
In this video, I invite you to come pack with me, as I give myself the creative challenge to only bring the art supplies that will fit in my smallest zipper pen pouch.
It’s the pen bag that’s always in my purse. I’ll show you what’s usually inside, then dump everything out and start over.
How do you decide what to bring and what to leave behind?
Mild spoiler alert: After I finished filming, I went back and REMOVED a couple of items! Can you guess which supplies made the cut?
All together, I ended up with just 10 (TEN!) items in my supply kit. INCLUDING a travel watercolor set!!!

What is the art supply you MUST have with you at all times in your travel art journal or urban sketching kit? DO TELL!

@chrisgregore359 2 года назад

I saw someone with a brilliant idea for packing Washi tape in a space saving way ... the person wrapped the Washi tape around an old bit of an expired credit or gift card. It was super space saving. Thanks for sharing your travel kit.

@LisaSonora 2 года назад

love this idea! I just tried for current travel supply bag, will share another video.

@arlenealennox3136 2 года назад

I do love to geek out on supplies!

@louisacahan831 Год назад

I like this kind of detail, because I get stuck on these little decisions, especially for travel.

@LisaSonora Год назад

yeah, it's something we must have in common. I appreciate you sharing that and for watching. Thank you.

@melodyflurry 2 года назад

What I like to do with washi tape is wrap some around an old hotel key card or old gift card, that way it’s flat and I can take a few different ones. Love this video, and I’m impressed! I usually have to take a bigger pouch! The struggle is real.

@LisaSonora 2 года назад

Thanks Melody! I love this suggestion and glad you are enjoying the videos. It's great to see you here!!!

Geek out!

@sheilasinghal2922 2 года назад

I always have a fountain pen with watersoluble ink (often in a colour other than black), a water brush or two, a few watercolour pencils, three permanent fineliners in different sizes, a small sharpener or blade, and a black watersoluble Tornado pen. Those are my must-haves, but I always have too much stuff, no matter what I do. 😄

@LisaSonora 2 года назад

thanks for sharing your must-haves Sheila! yes - those little art supplies seem to add up to a big bag of stuff, no matter what!

@sheilasinghal2922 2 года назад

@@LisaSonora Haha! Too true. 😁

@NelaDunato 2 года назад

Pentel Pocket brush pen almost never leaves my side. Great for thin strokes, lettering, and for covering a large areas. I'd take an extra cartridge to a longer trip too, but usually one lasts me a good while.

@LisaSonora 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing, Nela - I don't think I have that pen... need to check. Actually, I think I gave mine (and the cartridges) to an art student here in Mexico.

With the washi tape, I’ve seen some people wrap a small amount of different tapes around a card (like an old credit card) so they can take a variety of tapes but it hardly takes up any room.

@LisaSonora 2 года назад

thank you! It's been great sharing my videos here because you all have such great ideas!

@cydengel 2 года назад

Hey, you can always wrap a few colors of washi tape around an old room key or credit card…I can usually fit 4 or 5 colors on one…super flat!

@LisaSonora 2 года назад

Oh, that's such a fantastic idea, Cyd! Thank you!

@lynetteclauser3551 2 года назад

I liked your process and you are correct having too much, you end up not using it at all. I carry 6 washi tapes. Have a suggestion for carrying a variety of tape. I have a piece of plastic cut lengthwise from an old empty dvd box. I used sandpaper to round the edges. You can use an old hotel keycard also, but only holds 4. I picked out 6 that I love and wound the washi off the roll and onto the plastic piece. You can go round about 6 times which gives you about 24” of tape (depending on how wide you cut strip) without bulking out. Just continue wrapping each design around the narrow side leaving about 1/8” between. This assumes a standard width roll. Narrower ones you can get more than 6 on the piece. What’s nice is you can customize the size for your pencil case. Hope this helps.

@LisaSonora 2 года назад

so love this idea - thanks for sharing all of the details!

"I can't believe I made that decision so quickly" oh I hear you and can so relate :)

If you can go to a dollar store you can get a finger rest its so you dont get a callaus or mark on your finger and slide it up on the pencil tip so it doesnt break then you can slide it down on pencil use it for your finger you can get a few for a few dollars...i wrap my tape around the marker or oen barrel to help save space....

I have the same problems . Where to carry the water, and how to protect the pencils? I found the small alcohol squeeze bottles we all carried during Covid works well carrying water and fits into the water color pen for refilling.

@LisaSonora 2 года назад

great idea on the squeeze bottles! thank you!

I have this same dilemma for my everyday Carrie’s. I need my journal/ planner supplies and my art kit supplies. I use A6 size for both planner a art journal. I just purchase the Derwent ArtPack. Game changers .It works great for minimal art supplies . Then for my planner I use my small delfonics pouch . It sits on my desk at work very well. I switch supplies every week to rotate my obsessions🤣 .

Sounds like you have gotten very nicely organizes, Meslissa! The different kits and pouches are such a. help . thanks for sharing your favs!

@GingahSnapsArt 2 года назад

The struggle is real! I often cut a business card in half and wrap a few stretches of washi tape around it, so it can even be a bookmark if needed. (: My glue stick I also leave at home - with one color washi tape to tape down and designate Things To Be Glued Once Home. Heheh.

@LisaSonora 2 года назад

great ideas! thanks for sharing!

@aaronying4989 Год назад

Did you really used to walk/ travel around with three books?? (Re the start of the video). That’s heavy! Lol and why. Also I laughed at 4:17 your comment about is this TMI and over analyzing because I will definitely also be thinking waaaay too much about supplies lol

@LisaSonora Год назад

Um, yeah, I have walked around and traveled with 3 or more books! I'm ridiculous that way! So happy you found humor in my TMI over analyzing. I suppose it can be seen as a good way to occupy the mind. I mean, there are worse things to think about than art supplies, right?

@aaronying4989 Год назад

@@LisaSonora haha how did you? Wasn’t that really heavy? How did you do this. I was surprised how you had so many tools and pencils and things in your bag too!! I do obsess with supplies though as well. So I’d do that too.

@LisaSonora Год назад

@@aaronying4989 for the really heavy bag I was guiding an art tour in Mexico. We had our travel van, and so I only needed to lug the thing over to wherever we were sketching. If I'm walking around a city, I try to keep everything a bit lighter and in a backpack.

@aaronying4989 Год назад

@@LisaSonora I’ve also had my travel kit examined also before getting on an airplane. Lol it was a bit much. I did have a pencil bag with all full of MANY different pens and pencils and things. They wanted to examine EACH pen and pencil lol. And I did have a small scissors or cutter and they had to get rid of it lol. They wanted to pour the entire contents out and examine them. Hah. Now I don’t carry that on the plane. 😂 they looked at me like I was a crazy person. 😅
