Finding the right art supplies for travelling can be a challenge if you like to use lots of different materials and are limited on space.

As travellers and artists we spend a lot of time thinking about what we offer at Arthouse Northside that is versatile to enable you to create when ever and where ever you would like to.

This is some of the great finds we have that we consider essential in our travelling art kit.  Obviously breaking out the oil paints on a flight isn’t probably going to go over well with your fellow passengers but there is still ways you can create that minimise the mess and maximise the fun.

Road Trip in Oz

On the road and want to be able to draw and paint?  We love the flexibility of watersoluable pencils and crayons like the Derwent Inktense and Lyra Watersoluable Oil Pastels for their bright colours and low mess factor.  If you’re a painter and a pencil is just not going to cut it, perhaps try a posca marker as it cuts down on the need for brushes, palettes and tubes of paint but still allows you to get great colours and plenty of layering.

All of these mediums work well on a variety of our journals from the awesome Elements of Art Wrap Journals (available in A5 & A4) to the beautiful Stillman and Birn Multimedia hardcover books.
