I thought you might like to see my new sketching tote. This case cost me all of $ 2.99 at a thrift shop and I just stuffed it full of my sketching stuff that I like.
This spring I'm hoping to do some sketchersizing at the lake. If I can do a little drawing along the way it will make it seem like I'm not exersizing at all, just having fun.
My choice of sketching materials are a 5 x 7 sketch book with a fairly heavy paper than can withstand some ink pens and also some watercolour. I draw mostly with Staedtler disposable pigment liners in brown or black ink. I then use a watercolour pencil to add a bit of shading.... I usually just use an earthtone colour, sienna or umber. I can then use my waterbrush to spread the colour around.
With this new sketchtote I've added the option of having some actual watercolours with me and a sable brush - not sure if I'll use it yet but at least it doesn't take any more room.
I have space also to tuck in some watercolour post cards and a scrape piece of paper to test my pens and colours on. |
