What’s in the bag?
My everyday carry for watercolour sketching.

When I paint, I stop and paint for a few hours generally, so my kit for small sketches is able to keep me busy all day.

For this method, I am sketching small, and use a nice 9” x 12” clipboard that can hold my papers.

Here I have two pouches, the first has everything I need in relative travel size. In the other pouch that measures 11” tall, I have additional brushes I can bring if I really want to have more brushes to play with, but my travel set has a generous 6 brushes; a 4, 8, 3x12, and a 16.

I also have:
- watercolour pencils (w sharpener)
- retractable lead pencil 0.7 (w refills)
- eraser (w refills)
💧
- Spray bottle large (for carrying water)
- clip on cups
📐
- sewing ruler
- travel Advil holder (in case)
- tiny clips

My small metal palette works well for me, and I have a large tube of gouache which I don’t usually use but I decided to grab it.

1 case is quite minimal, and I thought it would be fun to share, I have been looking at smaller palettes, and I probably could streamline even more, but this is what I’m currently using for small studies. I think I would prefer to have the same palette regardless of the size paper I’m using. So some version of this will probably be my mainstay.

My colours are mixes that I’ve made, the foundation is the Apelles palette and additional colours will fluctuate.

I’m exploring watercolour these days. Here is a study of an Apple on Strathmore cold press 400 series. It warped a little bit the first time I got it wet, but it’s not too bad a paper. I have some pads of it, no need to waste it. 🍎

I’ve been working on this drawing for a while now today I just put the stickers on. There’s two sets one next to the still life, and those are stickers on top of the drawing.

day 28
I’ve been needing a lots of self care and early rest to bring myself back in balance. This tiny sketch is a place holder. I may just not make another attempt tonight. I did work on a little drawing earlier today and include that in my post (work in progress).

day 26
Just a quick drawing tonight. It was a snow day today and my daughter decided to give me one of her toys this morning. I love these beautiful sea turtles and did a quick sketch of the toy.
