In this video I’m packing my art supplies for a 3 week trip back home to Latvia, and I’m taking you along for the whole “what actually makes it into the bag” process. I share the exact pens, pencils, erasers, brushes and sketchbooks I’m bringing, and I talk through why I choose these specific tools when I want my travel kit to feel cozy, calm, and genuinely usable (not just pretty). You’ll also see my first Folio palette moment, plus my Sendak roll setup—because if I can keep things tidy and easy to reach, I’m much more likely to actually paint on the go. I also chat about my gouache and mixing setup, and I link my older videos if you want to see how I’ve built palettes in the past or what used to live inside my Sendak roll. And there’s an important shop update: I’m currently in Latvia, so EU orders need to be placed from the “shipping from Latvia” category, and I’ll be closing EU orders on 29 July 2025 for about a year. If you’re in the UK (or elsewhere), you can order from any category and I’ll ship in the first/second week of August.
