Traveling with Watercolors

Travel to Plein air paint can be very difficult. Taking a small travel watercolor set is so easy it can fit in your purse and the small water hold is less then 3 oz so you can fly with it or just fill the top with water when you get there.

This is the Winsor and Newton Field Set it has 12 half pans and is about 4x2x1 inch. It comes with a Red Sable brush but I have lost mine. This is only one of many different small travel set that I have.

When it is folded up it looks like this:

The top comes off and can be used to hold water while you paint.

There is a small bottle that holds water and be filled. The set also has a small sponge inside to wipe your paint brush on.

when unfolded there are three areas to mix color on:

I like to use travel watercolor set because they have a cover and come apart to reduce the size. With nice travel set it can fit right in your hand bag.
Here is one of  the Kolinsky Mini Travel set that I use.

If you like to sketch when you travel this is a wonderful way to do it.
