everything I sketched in Switzerland (and beyond) ✦ art haul, mixed media & travel sketchbooks

Everything I sketched that summer in the Swiss alps, and beyond... Join me as I fill my travel sketchbooks with gouache, Neocolor II, colored pencils, and add more and more art supplies to my mixed media collection. 💚

If you feel like painting mountains, glaciers, or wildflowers (or mountain goats) I've collected some of my favorite pictures as references - you can find them on Patreon!

✧ ART MATERIALS ✧

The travel sketch journal I use seems to be a limited edition of some kind - I can only find them in South Korea. This ring-bound version has the same paper, though: https://amzn.to/3RDEeTy *

CMYK+W Gouache : https://amzn.to/4mS1WZU *

flat brush for gouache: https://amzn.to/47lZOnY * I also use their round brush for gouache details.
Escoda Ultimo brush: https://amzn.to/3TtDiSu * (for watercolors) My sizes are a No. 10, 2, and 0. The larger is a "mop" type, the smallest one a regular "round" one that still hold water incredibly well for that size. I only use these at home because I'm worried about damaging them while traveling!
Water brush : https://amzn.to/4chD1cA * (perfect for sketching outdoors and very resilient)

Holbein Gouache:
White: https://amzn.to/3XEMB54 *
Yellow Ochre: https://amzn.to/3RJgP33 *
Flame Red: https://amzn.to/4cymJM9 *
Burnt Umber: https://amzn.to/3RDC724 *
Black: https://amzn.to/4cC2DAG *
Primary Blue: https://amzn.to/3VXLE6H *
Ultramarine: https://amzn.to/3L0fkK8 *
Yellow: https://amzn.to/4dA68J1 *
Green: https://amzn.to/4dSLROz *

Neocolor II : https://amzn.to/4328AoJ *
(I love them, but honestly, ANY set would probably better than the one I got at the art shop here... the colors are pretty, but very limited. With hindsight, I'd rather have the basic set.)
