Рет қаралды 30,673
Күн бұрынHello! My name is Grace and this is The Rusty Thicket! My channel is a personal project that I’ve been wanting to do for the longest time-but only found courage to pursue as of late. I love the goblincore aesthetic and simple living. In here, you’ll be seeing snippets of my art, travels, and behind-the-scenes of the creative world I live in. Expect random crafts, journaling, homemaking, nature walks, making art, vlogs, and tidbits of my life!

I'm so excited to share this travel kit with you guys. It's all my favorite stuff and pretty soon I'll get to take it all out to the park. Gather your materials and we'll do it together, hopefully next week!

I second that - third that? - one of my favorite brands. High quality, very pigmented. Right up there with Daniel Smith, Schminke, M Graham. Of course you’ll need a new empty palette to hold them, but hey, art shopping!!!!

Re wristband - I use tube sock rags! Once socks get unfixable holes, I cut them in half - the ankle part makes a perfect wristband, and the foot part now mostly works as a travel pocket/backup rag. Cotton socks are super absorbent and durable. They do remarkably well

Hello Grace! We were stationed at Kadena for three years and loved it! So glad I found you! I use an old white sock cut off the top for my wrist, in case someone doesn't want to buy one! I have also glued the little peerless papers down to a watercolor paper cut the same size as my most used journal and write the names under them, then used the watercolor paper, now covered in peerless paints, as my palette! Love watching you! Hope Christmas in Tennessee happened!

Wow!! Such a small world isn't it 😅 We are really loving it here too! (except for the heat lol) The sock idea is brilliant and the palette idea I'm going to have to try for myself!

I have that black Utlim case (from Amazon in the US) and it is my very favorite sketching case. I did add a shoulder strap to it. I understand that Utlim makes a slightly larger case, but it is not available through Amazon US. I have never seen the yellowish green one you have. You have a very exciting opportunity to find art supplies that we dream about.

I lived in Okinawa . I was a Corpsman in the Navy I was stationed on Camp Foster US Naval Hospital and MCAS Futnema. I miss Okinawa ALOT. I would definitely buy Japanese watercolor professional paints. Holbein comes to mind. I think the Koi colors can become a little chalky as they age. Also look for a fountain pen. I have 2 one fine nib and a medium nib Japan has some of the best fountain pens brands. More ecomincal because you can also get Carbon black Ink that's waterproof. I use them as part of my Urban sketch kit I loved all the Japanese stores like the Big Green store, I spent a lot of time down in Naha City..found excellent artists and stationary stores. I would move back in heartbeat. PLus my fav food is Japanese food.

That's awesome! The military is such a small world. I love hearing other's experiences of Oki. We love it here besides the heart. I know we will miss it very much when we leave. Its been so good to us! I've had Holbein recommended a TON so I will definitely be picking up some of those soon! I love my Koi colors so much, I'll probably never stop using them, but finally having the time and money to start exploring other options is exciting! I get most of my supplies at Green Note and its easily my favorite art store!

Congrats on hitting the 500 mark!. I have almost the same type of set up, only my little bag has a snap rather than a magnet to keep it up right. I also have a micro Artists Tool Kit palette that I use (has Daniel Smiths), which gives me room to keep a second palette of gouache. i also use the same size sketchbook. And I keep the kit in my backpack which also has a James Gurney type easel along with a lightweight and compact tripod. Funny thing is that I just picked up that very same Koi paint palette, and I don't think there is a Sakura pen I can pass up. Thanks for the info about the sweat band. I've been needing something other than clipping my towel to whatever. I subscribed and will keep an eye out for your posts.

Are you familiar with Art Tool Kit out of Washington state USA? They sell tiny palettes that are awesome!! I put 3 different ones in my ultim bag (just like yours) and it doesn’t take much room at all. They come prefilled with paint or empty and you can fill your own. They are definitely worth checking out if you’re not familiar with them. My larger palettes I reserve for use at home. Also, I bought a very small makeup container from amazon and I put a small piece of kneaded eraser in it. It’s perfect! You don’t need much. Art Tool Kit also sells tiny spray bottles to spritz your paint and also the small collapsible water cups. Thank you for sharing this fabulous bag! I love mine! And also, thank you so much for your husbands service and for your support and sacrifice for him and also for all of us! I appreciate you both!! 🇺🇸

I keep a smaller piece of kneaded eraser between the last page of the book and the cover. It does leave a little greasy spot but I don’t care. I always have it with me and it never dries out there and doesn’t get in the way. Bigger books get bigger pieces but I never have more than a quarter of one tucked in. Just smush it between the page and cover and close the book. Never forget my eraser anymore.

Is that for the bag!? Wow...that's a huge difference 😨 I love this bag but I can't say I'd love it at more than double in price.

@@rustythicketstudio lol ... I was thinking that as well. Yup, same bag. I can find something else for a lot less but same idea. I have been using a hanging travel toiletry bag which works well when travelling. It's roomy with a few options of different places to tuck things into.

A hanging toiletry bag is legit genius! I may have to put together a version of one to try it out for less table top accessible locations!

I find masking fluid so stinky - I wouldn't use it on an airplane.

The kind I have in the bottle is definitely too stinky for the airplane, but the pen has zero odor! After using it some though, it does tend to yellow the paper in large areas, so I don't think I'll be bringing it anyway 😥
