Plein Air Watercolour Painting, with JustGoSketching Board & Travel Art Bag / Portable Painter Micro

As part of my travel art bag / travel palette deep dive, I bought a JustGoSketching Companion (a board for A5 and above sized sketchbooks), along with a bag and other accessories. (I explained to my husband that this is what he bought me for our recent Wedding Anniversary 😁)
In this video, I unbox it, and take it out on my second ever Plein Air painting adventure.

If you put the clips flat side up and holding the board to only the sketchbook cover, you would have full access to your pages to work on. Of course the way you have it also holds the pages in place but i was thinking sometimes it would be nice to have full access to making the sky. :)

That's a good idea to play around with the clips - I just tried and actually the board holds in place quite well with the clips on the sides of the sketchbook too.

You did make me laugh with your three! paint palettes. I start to question myself if I take more than three paintbrushes. A lovely loose expressive sketch, the sort of thing I'm aiming for. Practice practice practice!

Haha! I'm so glad I started with all this travel malarkey stuff before going away, because it's definitely been a good learning experience - it's probably building up my confidence to take less. (Maybe!!) Thank you!

I had the board alone in my cart and decided to think on it. I really want it- on a no buy... hmmmm... maybe next year. I thought of making a board but really by the time I'd try to even gather the supplies... this would just be easier and tested and true.

I don't think it's essential - I've done fine on my trip without it, but it's a 'nice to have' item. I think you can hang on!!

Freddy! 😍🥰 I love your sketch 'n go bag and the things that came with it. I love his little gifts and handwritten note too. How sweet. You are ready for anything now and I look forward to seeing what you capture on your treks. ❤ I really like your lovely slimline metal palette too. Super smart. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm with us. 😊

Hiya! It's great having a strap on, even though I love the black and it holds more! I'll probably end up doing NO art in Nepal, because I'll be an exhausted aching mess all the time 😂

Hi, That is a military style bag with "MOLLE" loops, meaning you can attach the bag to other MOLLE items (using the four straps at the back), or add MOLLE pouches to it if you want more storage.

@helencryer 3 ай бұрын

Yes, thanks! Since this video I added a MOLLE waterbottle carrier and an extra pouch to the outside.

@helencryer I bought a 9x12 Masonite board and put magnetic tape on it. Sturdier and allows for larger journals. The whole thing was 8 dollars.

@FaithAnnNB Жыл бұрын

It arrived so quickly!! Mine was shipped today 😊 (but has much further to come). I didn’t order the bag since I have a couple of bags already, it seemed that I should resist 😂. I did order two different sizes of the sketchbook easel/board… the A5 and the A6 size, so depending on where/what I’m doing, I might take the smaller one as it would fit in my smaller bag. Now after seeing yours, I can’t wait for mine to get here!! I like the colours you chose, very nice!

@FaithAnnNB Жыл бұрын

I had to watch in two parts… your painting was lovely!! Such a beautiful spot to paint and it looks like the easel worked nicely with the stickers for the micro.. I was wondering about that, since that’s one of the items I’d like to use with mine 😊

@helencryer Жыл бұрын

I hope you get it quickly! I've ordered my first proper A6 sketchbook since I've been on my 'compact' theme, so the A6 might be interesting! More importantly: what colours did you choose?! I think I might need to use some superglue on the metal discs, as the magnet strips are quite strong and pulled one off when I removed it, but it worked great with the micro!

@FaithAnnNB Жыл бұрын

@@helencryer When I started using A6, I thought it might be too small, but I quite enjoy that size for “on the go”. Sometimes it’s the perfect size! I ordered one in Dark Blue with Sand coloured magnets/elastic and I ordered the other easel in Burnt orange with Midnight Blue magnets/elastic (I can’t recall which size was which colour). It was hard to choose! Good tip on the super glue! I might want to search where I can buy a couple of little metal discs for other non-metal items I have that I might want to use with the easels. I can’t wait!!

They sound lovely!! I'm just uploading a new video now, where I throw together my tiniest kit so far with an A6 sketchbook!
