Top Tips for the Travelling Artist

It's summer and artists are travelling with their art media - after they've had a good long hard think about what to take and how to pack it. Then - very often - they have another think!

Facebook is awash at present with photos of the complete sketching kits - prior to packing - being taken by urban sketchers to Manchester for the 2016 International Symposium of Urban Sketchers

I thought I'd remind people of two posts I've published on this blog in 2011

• Top tips for travelling artists - oil painters (Aug 15, 2011) Practical tips for those travelling with oil paints - for novices and seasoned painters and those trying to remember what they did last time.

• Top tips for travelling artists - pastels (Aug 18, 2011) Practical tips for those travelling with pastels - covering air flights, storage and carrying etc

I did mean to do two more posts about top tips about travelling with watercolours and coloured pencils - and must get round to finishing this short series five years later!

Do you have any top tips for travelling with art media?

Revisiting top posts

I was away last week and am planning on having a quiet week (drawing) this week so may well revisit more blog posts of merit from the past in the near future
