Leaving for Lake Como Today
/Today is the day! We will be heading out shortly for a most beautiful Italian destination. I plan to do some painting while I am there, but since we are going to be going to a lot of different little lake towns, I've decided to carry a minimum supply of art materials. I'd love to bring oils when I can stay for a longer period, but this trip I will bring my travel watercolor set, similar to the one shown here, (except mine has alot more pull-out palette space). In addition to the pan colors, I'm bringing a small selection of Windsor & Newton professional grade artists' colors in tubes.
Other supplies:
- cotton rag
- small selection of brushes
- watercolor journal
- watercolor papers
- tape
- small painting board
- waterproof ink drawing pens
- pencils, HB graphite and softer
- eraser
- sketch pad
Almost all of these supplies, plus my camera can fit in my big black tote (the same I took on my last trip to Italy). I am having trouble uploading images to the blog today, but you can see the bag in this picture. I couldn't fit my folding stool in my carry-on luggage, so I will just have to wing it and hope I can paint in areas where I'll be able to have a seat somewhere.
No blogging while we're gone, but I plan to post some pictures when we return. Ci vediamo!
