About two years ago I flew from Boston to Rome with my wooden (Julian) easel well packed in a large "crush proof" suitcase. I really don't know how the airline did it, but upon arrival, my easel was wrecked and half of my oil tubes were leaking.
I hauled that large crushed oily suitcase around Europe for awhile before I tossed it. When I was ready to come home, I packed what was left of my art supplies and a painting I had done in a box and shipped it.
Customs opened the darn thing and tried to charge me for my painting...thinking that I had bought it in Italy.
Honestly, if someone comes up with a goof-proof method for travelling with art supplies please post it. Meanwhile, my best idea is to carry your brushes and buy the rest of the supplies you need at your destination...and abandon them when you are done.
