I tried out new materials on my Spain workshop to simplify painting away from home. I came up with a lightweight box, a self made sketchbook that has pull out pages, a minimum number of travel paints in a light weight palette and a folding plastic board portfolio desk.

I am happy to report that my new traveling art supplies worked successfully for me. I was able to find my supplies easily, they were compact and light enough to carry all day, plus they worked well tgether wherever I painted.

The travel desk in action. I painted this scene in the 9th floor restaurant of a department store while looking out one of the windows.

If you have any questions on the travel art studio, please let me know.
