Yes, I really do have 4 different travel/plein air watercolor kits!

- I really enjoy making up travel kits for my watercolors. They all have a time and place where they are particularly useful. One is for small spaces, one for hiking, one for standing and my biggest oldest one for outright plein air! Take a peek with me, inside each of these different, and yet similar, bags.
I bought the green pencil case on Amazon and the green luchbox at Ikea. Unfortunately, they no longer sell that lunchbox. The black bagallini backpack I got at a thrift store, but they sell it on Amazon. The large orange bag was gifted to my daughter when she lived in Japan. I have made another standing kit. I used a lunchbox from Amazon. I will link that one below. This is the link to the video here.

I missed the pencil case in the black bag. There is a photo on my community page of what's inside it. And here's a link to a short video of what's inside it. • Pink Pencil Case
I will list the contents below with the rest of the contents of the black bag. Sorry for the confusion.

At 5.46 you mention you use the lid of a metal box as a mixing surface. If I could make a recommendation, if you use Yupo paper cut to size and spray adhesive in place it makes a very nice white colour to mix paint on instead of the metal of the box. You can see the true colours. Yupo is a synthetic paper you can wipe clean after every use. It's very handy. Hope you find this useful. Cheers.
Thanks! I actually have a stack of it in my studio for my alcohol inks. I never thought of using it in that way. I'll have to try that! 😊
I am overwhelmed by how clever you are. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks so much, and you're very welcome! 😊
Thank you! This was such a well thought out collection of kits. I could tell that you packed according to what you felt you needed. Some tips were precious and new to me: Plastic to place on the floor tonplace bag or equipment, bladder bag and so much more. I am off to see your other kits! Thanks again.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you got something out of it. 😊
Those are MARVELOUS! I am really impressed with the ingenious design for your standing ultra-light kit you showed at the end. I just found your channel today, but seeing your yarns & crochet hooks in the back, along with your inventive ideas has convinced me that you're a wonderfully creative, like minded lady!
Oh, thanks so much, I really appreciate the encouragement! I definitely do a lot of different things. I can't help myself. There's too many fun things to do and not enough time in the day! 😄
Loved to explore your painting kits! Some great ideas here. :)
Thanks so much! I really like putting them together.
Oh my goodness ... your kits are so brilliant. I especially love your version of the Etchr mini slate. I would love to have one but they are so expensive. However, now I realize I can probably make my own. 😀Thank you SO MUCH, for sharing all of this. ❤
Thanks! I'm trying to get a video out on how I made mine. ❤️
These are great! I love that you have made so many kits! I am a kit nut, too. I’ve made many for myself, family and friends. You’ve given me lots more ideas. Thanks!
Thanks! They are a little adictive aren’t they! 😄
Love your system!! Going to recreate this for myself. Also really love seeing how you use found objects to build your kit. Great great video!!
Oh, thank you! I really appreciate your feedback. ❤️
Love this video ❤❤❤❤
Thanks! 🥰
That last bag is really clever! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I am working on a video of how I made it, if you’re interested. 😊
Was amusing to watch and and to get useful ideas!
Specially liked the last idea of using a neck strap, making the kit so available and Hands free!! Amazing and better flow !
Just stumbled on your video by chance, first timer, loved your landscapes on sketch book too 🎨
🖌️ Happy Paintings, Greetings from Portugal 🤗
Thanks so much! I'm gathering materials to record a video on how I made the standing kit. Thank you for the lovely comment! 😊
I love all of your kits! I, too, have a few that I've made and keep for different plein air excursions 😝 Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you! I have a post on my community page that shows what was in the pink pencil case, if you’re interested. 😊
Non artists: You have 4? Why so many?
Other artists: You have 4? Why so few?
😊 I have made some more since! I think I just really enjoy putting them together and tweaking the ones I already made. ❤️
Incredibly clever and useful ideas. Thank you!
Thank you so much! ❤️
I really enjoyed all the well put together, plein air kits, great ideas you have shared. I went for the first time this week , on a beautiful day in February. At first I sat in the car, then tried a bench. I did feel very anxious, trying to draw & paint quickly, hoping no one would judge my work.
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! I am a little obsessed, but I use them all. As for plein air, it does get easier every time you do it. Most people are just impressed that you're painting in public. Keep going out there - it's so worth it! 😊
These are great! So creative
Thanks so much! 😊
Super helpful. I like that you aren't pushing products on us, but I wouldn't have minded some brand names or links for the lightweight flasks and that orange backpacks.
Thanks so much! This is the link to the little plastic flasks. My daughter brought the orange backpack home from Japan, so I don't have any info for it.

@@dustinmyeye-trin Thank you.
Hello from another Michigander. Excited to start painting outside this year. We use the same palette. Learning so much from your video. Thank you. Will definitely be adding sunscreen and bug spray to my bag. 😅👍
Thanks so much! I am definitely not a fan of bugs - or burning for that matter! 😄
Thank you for sharing this video. I have been working out how to build kits for the different places I find myself in. I am walking away with my head spinning with ideas. I am looking forward to checking out your other kits to see how they are set up as I also like to play in gouache and pastels.
I'm so glad it was helpful! I'm still working on recording my pastel and gouache kits. I do have a fun little alcohol ink kit recorded, though. 😊
I LOVE travel art kits. I have a few myself. I really like the creativity you put into the last one, the standing one. This was a lot of fun to watch. I just subbed. I look forward to watching a few more of your videos now. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I think I'm a bit addicted - I can't stop making them. 😊
loved these!! such great ideas!!
Thanks so much! I have a post on my community page that shows what was in the pink pencil case! 🤪
Such great ideas. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. So much so, I subscribed.
Thanks so much! 😊❤️
You have some great ideas I'm going to incorporate. I use a wrist sweatband for wiping brushes on. I also use put my Portable Painter Mini inside a wristband to give it a bit of extra protection, they're the perfect size. I wanted to see what you had in your pencil case in the second bag but you didn't show that. Only suggestion is maybe to practice your delivery a bit, to get a smoother presentation.
Thanks! I have often thought those wristbands would work well. Great idea to protect the mini! I posted a photo on my community page of what was in the pencil case. I had done a fair number do overs and missed opening it on this take. 🫤 This video is a year old, I think I've gotten a bit more comfortable. It was difficult trying to get everything I needed in the shot. Thanks so much for your feedback! 😊
Brilliant! Thks!
Thank you!
Can you do a demo on how to make the last one you use to stand up? Looks good.
Thanks! Sorry for the delay in responding. I've been trying to see if I can find more of the materials I used. If I can, I will try and do a video. If you are subscribed to my channel, it should come up in your feed. You can also hit the bell and get notifications of new videos I've uploaded. 🙂
I got the video on how to make the bag done and uploaded. I just wanted to make sure you saw it! 🙂 th-cam.com/video/qHe9pa5T3DA/w-d-xo.html
I am so glad to see another passionate creative here in the mitten, Waving from the palm, Livingston county Ann Arbor, no, not a student, lol, love the idea of multiples. I will be off this coming month in my new lil microvan, to enjoy some of our BEST water/winter wonderland beauty, Although born/raised in Motown, fam in the yoop, i still have so much to explore now that the "kids" are grown. Lovely presentation, New sub here.
Thanks so much! I'm a northern macomb girl, most of my life, except for briefs stints in the tip of the thumb and Chicago. We do live in a beautiful place. A trip around the yp is on my bucket list. We don't generally get farther than Mackinac. 🐎❤️
Born & raised on Hubvard Ave Mr. Clemens. My dad built metro on lake st can't swim in Claire 😂, RIP, ran the place from its first shovel thru 1986. It was my personal 😊playground. Ws dad to hear Gibralter trade center is no more. I left in 96, and returned in 2019 covid lockdown. Glad to be home
Pssst. Graduated Lutheran high north 24 Mike rd. Back when surrounded by cows lol . Just love your talent , love to take your class
Thanks so much! I was born at St. Joe's, Mt. Clemens. Class is done till fall. You can send me an email at: dustinmyeyeshop@gmail.com,
and I will send you info this fall when I have a schedule.
Great ideas ❤ waving from Northern Indiana
Thanks so much! 😊
Very impressive
Thank you! 🙂
These are great! I love the DIY etcher mini; any chance of a tutorial for making one? Oops, never mind; I see you already made one! Thank you so much. New sub here!
Thanks! That was the easiest, answered it yourself, question! 😊❤️
I'd like to make a suggestion to add to your packs. Dog spray. Either for dogs off leash that wanna bite or people that want to mess with you. Sometimes when you are out painting strange things happen and dog spray is a good defense mechanism.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm usually with other people, but not always! 😊
We missed what was in that dark blue pencil case, but wonderful ideas.... Thank you!
Thanks so much! I watched my video to see what case you were talking about, and oh no! I totally missed showing what was in it. I think I lost it in a retake. 🫢
It has an assortment of smaller brushes, a small spray bottle, a micron pen, a water brush, a sepia prisma color, a Caran D'ashe white water soluble pencil and a taupe one, and a set of Studio Series watercolor crayons. I am going to try and link a photo of it in my description. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Brilliant! I love your kits! A pity u didn’t show whats in the pencil case of the second kit. Cheers from Brasil
Thanks! I think I lost it in my editing. I shot it so many times, I forgot to open it in that take. 😄 I have a photo I will upload to my channel. I have a video of my small pastel kit, now, too! th-cam.com/video/nEpoVPD7Z8A/w-d-xo.html
@@dustinmyeye-trin Yes, I've seen that video of the pastel kit already. What a pity that you lost the part of the pencil case in the editing! But it's a great video anyway!
Dust,this is professional masterpiece! see you later-=))

This is wonderful, thank you!!! Do you have a link or shop name for the thin, magnetic, palette that you got on Etsy?
Thanks so much! I think the original version is from art tool kit. arttoolkit.com/
There are knock off ones on etsy.

Thank you! I’m working on making multiple kits because I’m tired of tearing my current large and medium sized kits apart for various types of trips. I’m also wanting to always have a micro minimalist kit in my purse and I think that palette will be perfect! You have so many great ideas. I’ll probably have to watch this video a couple times. :)
@melindachapple6772 I went to California, then on to Chile, this summer, and I Frankensteined together everything I wanted from all my kits. When I got back, I had to watch my video to sort it all out into the right places! 😄
Ha ha! That’s great! Also, what chair and table do you have that packs up small for your trips?
@melindachapple6772 I have a Campster chair that's super light and easy to set up, but it's a little tricky to sit in. I also have a chair and table from Costco that take a little more effort to set up, but are also pretty small and lightweight.

I love seeing everyone's plein air kits, but I'll never understand why youtubers take so much stuff with them.
Depends on where I'm going, what I'm doing. I like having options, albeit, as small as I can get them! 😊
@@dustinmyeye-trin not a darn thing wrong with that at all
Where did you get the water bladder from? Also where did you get the round palette that you have in your black bag?
I got the water badder on Amazon - it's actually for toiletries.

@@dustinmyeye-trin Thanks just found it on Temu 1- for a buck it said. I can now have one for all my plein air kits. THanks for showing me yours, you gave me a few ideas. Reorganizing mine this weekend.
Have fun! 😊
That should hae said 10 for a buck.
Good for you! 😊
Cool stuff! Where did you get that little flask @7:56?
Thanks! I got the hard plastic one, in my backpack, at Daiso. The one in my green lunchbox is from Amazon.

Can you share info on the black bag please? It looks perfect size for my needs
It's a Bagalini. I got mine at salvation army, but they do have it on Amazon. It's a bit pricey, though.

Haha leave it to me to like the spendy one. 😂 it's such a great size and opening
Keep an eye out at thrift stores. You never know what treasures you might find in the backpacks. I got a great one for my gouche kit there, too!
Thank you. I really love your kits. Slightly jelly your husband and sister paint too. ☺️
Thank you, I love making them! And I'm extra lucky because I have 3 sister's and they all paint! ❤️
I’ve never seen a person painting in public.
We do it all the time!
Thanks for pronouncing En Plein Air correctly ("on plen" air). So tired of hearing even professional artists saying "en plane" air. 😬 Sorry Americans, its mainly you.
Ha! You're welcome! 😊
I live in the US and it bugs me how few Americans try to pronounce non-english words correctly (even some english words)… Also they think that anything that unscrews to the right is incorrect and don’t even get me started on the metrics system 😂😂
That's so true! 😄
Okay, we Americans can work on plane air…but do tell me how Europeans found an “R” in IDEA?
Good point! 😄
Thanks for sharing! I think I do have about 10 plein air kits 😂 From a teeny weeny kit to a full on kit. Those bladder flask looks so handy. I will buy some ☺️
Thanks! It's addictive. Every time I see a small container... 😊
