A Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
A 4B or 6B drawing pencil, sharpener and eraser
Pitt Oil Based Black Pencil
Water-soluble Colored Pencils: 10-12 pencils in vibrant color, plus 4-5 regular colored pencils you love ( if they are special colors you love but cannot find in watersoluble pencils)
A white Sharpie Peel-off China marker

PAINT:

• Your usual watercolor kit. Should be compact enought o use on-location
• A small tube of white gouache
• Small lak-proof water container with lid (I use Nalgene containers)

BRUSHES:

• Water brush

• 1/ to 1 inch wide flat brush

• 2 travel brushes: I bring one round tip, size 8-10 and one dagger brush . You can also bring a smaller round brush.

PAPER:

• Your favorite sketchbook that can handle mixed media: we will use pen and ink, watercolor, and colored pencil. I use an 8x10 inch Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook

OTHER STUFF:
• Binder clips
• Hat
• waterbottle
• A foldable stool to sit on and/or a small foam mat. Must be ightweight and must fit into your sketchbag or be strapped on the side of it

• A bag that fits all your belongings when sketching on location. I prefer a backpack but a crossbody bag works too. Make sure your hands are free: we will sometimes stand and sketch quickly in busy places!
• Sturdy walking shoes that you have broken in already
• Sunglasses
