In this video I share with you which art supplies I took with me, when we travelled through France.

We’ve shot this video in France last year and I thought it would be great to show it to you. I’ll be showing you all the art stuff I took with me on the road. It was really hard for me to choose. Before we went away I created two lists: the one with items that I definitely couldn’t miss and a list with all items I thought I maybe needed.
We were travelling for three months and had in advantage no idea what we would do: maybe record an online class, or maybe teach on location. One thing was for sure: I needed things to create at least my own art.
I have two cupboards to store my art, which is quite a lot space. Then, for some larger items, like A3-sized paper, I can use the bottom of the wardrobe. Behind the third chair is space for the roll of protective plastic.

I will now share my lists with you.

Definitive list:

  • My small art journal from Dina Wackley
  • Acrylic paint from the brands Winsor & Newton, Amsterdam Talens and ARA;
  • Heavy gel medium Matte from Amsterdam
  • A leather bag with various brushes (thank you Harry and Laura!)
  • A roller
  • A bag with all kinds of fabric tu use for mixed-media
  • Charcoal
  • Intense pencils
  • A water tin
  • A bag and a tin with all kind of Posca pens, markers, pens and fineliners, scissors
  • Painter’s tape
  • In my fabric bag: a folder for inspirational items and collection of my own patterned paper, another folder with blank paper, book pages and other ‘frottage’ mixed-media items; palettes

Doubt list (these are all the things I brought with me, but seldom use these)

  • Gouache paint
  • Karisma pens
