In this video I’m taking you with me while I pack my art supplies for a 2-day London trip — the kind of little adventure where I want to be ready to sketch anywhere, but I also don’t want to carry my whole studio on my shoulder. I show you what I actually put into my travel art bag: the sketchbooks I reach for when I’m out and about, my favourite compact gouache setup, and the small tools that make painting on the go feel calm and easy (rather than chaotic). My goal is always the same: keep it cozy, keep it simple, and make it realistic to use. After packing, I flip through my observation drawing sketchbook and share pages filled with tiny moments — people, places, and those quick snapshots of life that you only really notice when you’re sitting and drawing. If you’re building a travel sketchbook habit, this is a gentle reminder that you don’t need perfect conditions or loads of supplies. A small kit, a bit of curiosity, and a warm drink nearby is honestly enough. I’m also chatting about my London plans (museums and art supply stores, of course), so do tell me your favourite spots if you’ve been.
