Travel Watercolours

I like going out with my best friend and attempting to paint on location (it never works but I still like to try). So this is a condensed version of my watercolours that fit into my handbag:

13 x 21cm Watercolour Moleskine book

Winsor and Newton artist half pans in a Altoids mint tin

A tube of white gouache, Daler Rowney

My favourite sizes of Serise 7 watercolour brushes; 0,1 and 3

2 Waterbrushes 

A new addition to the collection is a tiny Chinese travel brush

A collapsible waterpot

Water bottle or spray botttle

Some Kitchen roll for mistakes and drying the palettes before going back in the bag

1 or 2 tiny paint palettes

A sponge for some texture

Then pencil, sharpener and rubber for the drawing part of painting.

Moleskine

Due to working lots last week, i was not able to make anything (well apart from one thing, but you'll see that tomorrow) So i thought i would blog about my favourite sketchbooks; Moleskine!

This is my current collection. Two A5 plain soft back books, plus one A5 Watercolour sketchbook. A6 size: one Plain soft back book, one Soft back lined note book, Watercolour sketchbook and 2012 hardback diary (looking a bit poorly)

Inside: On the left is the oldest Moleskine i have and it's seen better days with the cover coming apart, its quite old as there are dragon ideas in it and i haven't draw dragons for ages. The middle is my newest plain book from my best friend, just got a couple of big cat skull sketches in at the moment.

Then its my watercolour sketchbook with a painting of my watercolour box on the first page, its meant to be my artist journal but so far i haven't really journalled much in it. Then finally my A6 watercolour sketchbook which has a few watercolour studies of the birds that frequent my garden (my favourite painting being the Treecreeper)

And there we have it, my lovely collection of yummy Moleskine books.
