Why I’ll Never Travel Without a Sketchbook Again | Chiang Mai Journal

Traveling with a sketchbook has fundamentally changed how I see the world, and this is my invitation for you to also take up sketching ✨ Join me for 3 magical days in Chiang Mai through my watercolor sketchbook. From decoding the hidden mythology of ancient temples to finding the nerve to strike up conversations with strangers from a different culture, it was a lesson for me to slow down, and really EXPERIENCE everything on this journey. 🎨 MY ART BOOKS & PRINTS: https://www.etsy.com/shop/travelingpalette 📸 FOLLOW MY ART JOURNEY: http://instagram.com/bingying.art ✏️ MY ART SUPPLIES: ・Watercolor Palette: ⟡ I sell the exact palette I use with my choice of paint: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4469478223/mini-watercolor-travel-palette-with ⟡ Or, you can get a cheaper version (without paint) on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4tojyjI ・Pen case: Sonic SMA-STA - https://amzn.to/4a230GA ・Fountain Pen: Kaweco Sport piston filler - https://amzn.to/4aty2al ・Waterproof ink: De Atramentis Document Ink Brown - https://amzn.to/4bD2e3R ・Water brush: Staedtler - https://amzn.to/3MfuS0x ・ViewCatcher framing window: https://amzn.to/4a1zgte Full gear breakdown in this video: https://youtu.be/F5jjG_Xf19c Disclosure: I earn a small commission from these links, at no extra cost to you, which helps support me as a small-time artist :D ✨ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:35 Enjoying small pockets of downtime with drawing 1:57 Learning to SEE better through sketching 4:08 Drawing yummy desserts & handsome men (?) 5:28 Painting a serene temple in the forest 6:12 Why I don’t mind when people watch me paint 7:52 Stationery haul from amazing bookbinders shop 9:21 Endless inspiration at a psychedelic art village 10:34 Overcoming my social anxiety through art 13:33 Outro: How travel sketching changed my life 👋 ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Bingying, a traveling watercolor painter based in Tokyo.
