I was asked what i take with me for a painting trip.
I have a laptop case which holds a basic kit. in the main compartment I have pad of water color paper 140 lb
and a hard cover sketch book. small 8 inch white plastic plate for mixing color. the internal side pockets hold brushes, 2 round and 2 flat. and case of paints.
I picked up a kids paint set and poped out the solid paint disks and squized in some good paint and let it dry. I supplement this with a few tubes of paint. Other side pocket holds pencils and and basic utility knife for sharpening. as well a few colored pencils.
laptop case has out side pockets and i always find somthing extra to suff in.
Lee, realy enjoyed the trip reports from your trip home, great photos..... may work them into some paintings.
