Art journaling travel kit
hello sweet creative!
Summer’s here, school is over and this year we’re taking a few short holidays to Normandy and Brittany. Going away means no time in the studio, but one thing I like to do, is take a small stash of art journaling supplies with me wherever I go!
Art journaling is such an important practice in my life. It’s really creative self-care, which makes it the perfect vacation activity. In the video below, I’m showing you how to prepare a little art journaling travel kit. Enjoy and don’t forget to leave a comment for me afterwards, to tell me what YOU are taking with you on your travels!
favorite art journaling supplies
In this video, I’m showing you the supplies I’m taking with me for a week away, selecting what inspires me: some favorite colors, tools and materials… Make sure to create your own kit from what inspires YOU! And for a more comprehensive list of my favorite supplies for art journaling, check out this page:
what’s in my kit:
Art Journal: an A5 journal that I’ve already customized with lots of collage and starting points.
Painting tools: round brush, filbert brush, silicon tool, needle tool
Matte medium (the fluid kind): I usually prefer the gel, but I like that this small bottle fits perfectly into my kit. I’ll use it mainly for collage
Crayons: Neocolor 2 water-soluble crayons. Mix them with matte medium and you get instant paint! I’m also taking some Neocolor 1, which are not water-soluble.
Paint: white heavy body acrylic + 1 favorite color
Various pens and pencils for journaling, sketching, mark-making…
Collage papers: lots of little scraps with different textures, images and cut-out words
Other: Pencil sharpener, washi tape, and during our vacation I’ll treat myself to a magazine or two, which will give me plenty of new material to play with!
come art journal with me… free!
To me, art journaling is not just about painting pretty pages. It is deep and meaningful, just as much as it is fun and playful, and both are equally important! My journal is an outlet, a trusted friend, a magical portal, a playground…
Art journaling has become such an important part of my life as an artist, and simply as a person. That’s why I love to share about it, and I’m thrilled to offer a FREE art journaling online retreat very soon!
