Sketch Kit

Perhaps the most important items are the folding stool (Camp Time Roll-a-Chair, weighs only 2.5 lbs and has back support!), the hat, and sunblock.

 

Then there are the things I always carry in my purse: a sketchbook, a pack of tissues, and a pouch holding pens (Uniball Vision Micro - the ink is waterproof), pencils, erasers, and a few clips (for windy days).

 

If I can, I also bring brushes and paint (squeezed from tubes into a plastic folding palette) and water in a Nalgene bottle. When that's too bulky, I have a Sakura Koi 24-color travel set with waterbrush that fits in my purse.

 

Then (horrors!) there's my plastic triangle. My verticals and horizontals tend to slant, so I like to rule a few light pencil lines in key places as guides. In this drawing, I ruled verticals as rough guides for the sunscreen and water bottles. If I don't have the triangle with me, I might use a piece of cardstock or whatever I have in my purse.

 

Drawn for the Urban Sketchers "Our Sketch Kits" weekly theme.
