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!

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!

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!
