Florence Travel Art Supplies - Part 1 - All The Things that Fit in my Bag

~I had to reupload because the first video got cut off around 16 mins.~

Who's got two thumbs and is so excited for going to Italy she can LITERALLY TASTE IT? Moi, of course.

I'm going to a weekend watercolor in Florence with Janet Pulcho https://janetpulcho.com/ - a Ukrainian artist who lives in Florence and works on large-scale Renaissance inspired watercolor florals. She's suggested a list of paints and supplies to bring, and I've done my best to put together a palette of paints and brushes for the workshop itself.

Alongside that, I'll have some time in Florence, Lucca and Venice, so I'm bringing my en plein air watercolor sketching kit. Check out my selection of paints, crayons, pencils & etc. below!
