Favorite materials and supplies page

I updated this page with more of my favorites--you can find it HERE, or just look at the top of the blog!

(And incidentally, turns out I'm not wild about that bottom waterbrush.  Doesn't hold much water, and I find it awkward to use.  NICE point though...)

Correspondents, feel free to chime in and do a post on YOUR favorites--I can add it to the page so it will be handy.

    Hi Kate,
    I'm always admiring the compactness of your color supplies...I can't seem to "tone" myself down very much--occasionally I'll go with the 2 basic plastic palettes, but I'd rather take a bigger bag along and haul more colors! I notice that you have sharpened the opposite ends of your brushes--for scraping out color and drawing in details, I assume?

    Maria, that's what's so much fun about seeing how other people work, and why I'd love to share a photo of your setup on that page as well. I want to use the photo of you in the interview, though!

    I need to compact my supplies because of the arthritis, mostly! I also have a big backpack full of stuff, including a full-sized palette, but I normally only take that for serious plein air work.

    Yes, that's why they're sharpened. I can get some wonderful linear effects with those brush ends!

    Hi, Cath! I am not one of your "Correspondents" (your blog co-authors) so I apologize in advance if I am over-stepping my welcome! But my ever-evolving list of favorite materials and supplies is here: http://tinyurl.com/sketchbooking
