Want to travel extra light?
Here are my suggestions for a minimal and very portable kit.
2 brushes
#10 or larger round
1" flat watercolour brush (1/2" for the timid, 1 1/2" for the brave)
Watercolour Journal - this is a coil or bound booklet of watercolour paper - it is essential that the paper be of artist quality i.e. Arches or American Journey
Small folding palette such as Hommee (Heritage now manufactured by Alvin) as shown below
Watercolour paints as listed below or a cool and warm red, blue and yellow, plus any of your favorite neutrals. If you are working in a smaller format you may find that you have enough colour for journaling if you fill your palette ahead and just bring small tubes to refill as needed.
Sketch book and 2 pencils - and or a thin and a fine marker
Small water bucket (folding or collapsible)
Extras may include tissue, pencil sharpener and a small pack of watercolour pencils. Slip everything into a small pack with your lunch, camera and binoculars.
