It's difficult to take along an array of oil paint and brushes when traveling. You can check paint and materials when flying (no solvents though), but besides the hassle of flying you have to find a way to get the wet paintings home. Watercolor doesn't present those difficulties. For one thing, no solvent besides water is needed and for another the entire setup including a sketchbook or block of watercolor paper can be slipped into a carry on bag or into checked luggage. For years, I've carried watercolors with me when traveling.

As you can see, we've been fortunate to travel quite a lot before the pandemic. Since then not so much. Regardless, whenever we go I take my watercolors.
