Hi.. You can go even lighter if you don't take with you a sketchbook but just loose paper sheets of the paper of your choice and a nursing clipboard, one of those that are folding.The advantage of taking paper sheets with you is that you can divide them in different bags or your suitcase, in different sizes if you want to and that you can have different types of paper with you. It is more versatile as an option than that of a sketchbook.

Personally, I enjoy these sorts of videos. Watching you go through the process of downsizing your travel kit, what do you really need to bring, do the items you've included really work well together in creating the image you're looking for? All these sorts of questions are very important for everyone's personal art style and it really helps others in planning their own travel kits.

I love watching “what’s in my art kit” videos… never boring! Wow. Colour me impressed. You have really gotten your kit down in size a lot, I wasn’t sure you’d be able to eliminate things!! It really looks like you have everything you might need in your latest version. I’ve often wondered about those camp mugs, I thought they might not be stable enough. Will have to give one a try!

Hope you have a fabulous trip!!

I think your final choices are going to be just perfect for you.  I’ve truly enjoyed watching all the different combinations you’ve come up with and the way you research and try out all your colors and accessories.  Make lots of memories and have a grand time traveling and also have a joyous time painting on your trip.

Great idea to put your palette colors in the back of your sketchbook

I am addicted to travel kits. I have put together at least 10 in all sizes. It allows me to spontaneously invite friends🙂

Wauw, you did so well in downsizing! Less choices, less stress. The lemon yellow running in your palette makes me think of an unruly kid running around causing havoc. only well behaved colours are allowed 😂 have lots of fun and even if you don't sketch at all, it will have been worth all the sorting and playing an swatching. Because it's just fun to do and see for us 🥰
I love that you haven't packed anything yet but spent all that time on your art kit. That's what I do too. 😊

Take TONS of photos and videos!  While my Son wasn’t much of a photographer or videographer; I’ve got breath-taking photos, even screenshots, that his friends took of their camping trip to Chomolungma. Some of the best shots I love, actually come from his friends dash cam as they maneuvered an RV on a single lane dirt road, a steep Cliff up on one side and a thousand meter, unprotected drop off on the other side, just before arriving at their camping spot.  I rode along with them virtually on WeChat and almost called an ambulance because of the chest pains..I was a nervous wreck…until they turned the corner.  It was a very bright, moonlit Fall night, and the bluish glow from snow capped Chomolungma..caused their whole group to stop and get out. One photo a friend took even includes the Milky Way over the mountains. I THINK Xiaowei won an award for that picture.  I’ve tried to figure out a way to capture it in a painting.  It’s impossible in traditional painting, but my best friend is making the first attempt in western style.  
Have fun, stay safe (and warm!), enjoy & take LOTS of pictures…so I can get tips on how to paint these incredible mountains!

I find it so difficult to pack minimal art supplies as I love them all. It's so hard to choose.  When you return from your trip, It will be interesting to see if you find you missed something that you wished you had or what you didn't use in your travel kit. At least you got your packing priorities straight - first art supplies then, oh yes, I might need some clothing and toiletries. 😀

I LOVE traveling with neocolor ii! They have such great pigment and texture!

Good job getting it down to just the essentials! Have a great trip and I can’t wait to see what you paint!

Tips on packing light are always appreciated! Have a wonderful trip. I look forward to seeing your travel work and what your experiences inspire back home as well.
