My Minimalist Carryon Travel Art Supply Kit – Fits in a Zipper Pouch

Enjoy!

This creative challenge began with the desire to travel carryon only, and still bring a decent amount of art supplies with me for working in my visual art journal.

On this trip to Mexico City, I knew I’d be doing a lot of walking, so also needed to keep my purse as light as possible. I even hauled this art supply kit around the Teotihuacan Pyramids, in the blazing sun (the actual walking in between pyramids is SO much longer that it looks!).

The secret to traveling light with art supplies is to limit liquid items, and instead pack water-soluble media like pencils or markers that can double as paints. The tubes of paint I bring go into my liquid clear bag for the airplane, and then go back into the art supply bag when I land.

In this video I show you what made the cut, and how I packed it all into a small zipper “envelope” pouch.
