Equipment/Gear/Material

9. Collapsible Water Holder Cup
10. Quart/Liter sized Hard-Plastic Water Bottle
11. Cloth Rags
12. Graphite Pencils /Kneaded Eraser / Sharpener
13. Watercolor Brushes – Not assigning specific sizes but try to keep them larger so you can cover more painted surface/sketchbook and don’t get caught up in details.
14. Brushes – Flats, Rounds, Angle, Chisel, Fan (soft & hard bristles), Wash. Bring brushes you have familiarized yourself with previous usage. Remember to not weigh yourself down with too much stuff.
15. Sketchbooks – Try to bring a couple of different sized books. I would advise at least one 8x11” Landscape Format Sketchbook. Gouache is very much like  watercolor so I recommend a cold press textured book (the paper texture is consistent on both sides when opened up allow an 8x22” panorama format).
Perhaps add a couple of other sketchbooks with a “portrait” format and/or I always like a 5x8” book that allows more mobility for quicker sketches & confined locations.
16. Lightweight Collapsible stool or Chair with Shoulder Strap for carrying
17. Art Material Bag or Backpack for carrying supplies.
