A significant condition to Remote Studio is that we are constantly moving, and out-of-doors most of the time. If you are joining us for Remote Studio to ensure that our discussions and your time to create are always at your fingertips bring the following items with you…

The Moleskine Notebook and Sketchbooks are great for carrying around, and they can help you establish a format for  documenting life-long creative practice. You can find these at most paper stores, and even Barnes and Noble is carrying most of them. So, no excuses about not being able to find them.

Moleskine Notebooks

Moleskine Notebooks

Bring one of these notebooks for taking notes and journaling look for this notebook, its about 5.5″ x 9″ and is a hardback. They are hardback, and come in different colors if black is not your thing.

Also, you will have time – and opportunity – to draw or paint while we are out. Please pick up one of these great notebooks:

moleskine sketch album

They are called a soft bound “sketch album,”  un-lined and is a horizontal format with perforated pages if you want to take them out to send home.

Also, bring one of the three options for drawing or painting with, and don’t worry if you don’t know how to use them. You can learn while you are here.

Oil Pastels

Oil Pastels

This small set of oil pastels is great to travel with. This particular set is available online from Cheap Joe’s. But I am sure you can find some at an art store near you. Word of warning, Michaels is NOT AN ART STORE. DO NOT BUY your pastels there because the quality is poor.

Water Color Set

Water Color Set

Water Colors in a small plastic box that are not in Tube format, but instead the hard pancake that you add water to. And don’t forget to bring a few paint brushes.

Or you could bring a small (12 or so) set of colored pencils with you.
