My Travel Journal Art Supplies for the Côte d’Azur

Color Palettes for Nice & Menton, France

When I travel, I always want to take too many art supplies. What if I forget something essential? I often try to pack minimally, but it is also just lovely to have enough stuff to experiment.

In this video, I show you what I am taking on my trip to the Cote D'Azur. I will be there for a fortnight and will hopefully return with a well-filled sketchbook (which I will show you next month). I'm really looking forward to it. And for anyone who has any tips in terms of sightseeing or nice cafés, I'd love to hear them:)
