Welcome to Art on the Go…Create your own travel kit. I love taking work with me when I am out of the studio so I wanted to create a travel kit that was functional, durable, and beautiful to look at. Using raw canvas as the base ticks off all the boxes and provides a great surface to work on.
I have a list of supplies for you below but don’t feel pressure to purchase anything. Please use what you have first.
Supply list: all items in bold can be found by clicking here (#affiliate) with the exception of the raw canvas which is clickable on it’s own.
