Listed below are the supplies to bring with you. I chose compact items for easy travel and the main set is presently on sale too! I use Daniel Smith watercolors for their high quality. You may order from Daniel Smith online using the live links below, or call them at (800) 426-6740 to place your order.
At the gallery I will have water containers so there is no need to bring one. I also will have 300 lb. Arches watercolor paper cut into various sizes which you can purchase as needed. This saves you trying to estimate how much you will use and having to cut it yourself. I will buy a bulk amount so the price is reasonable. A high quality watercolor paper is essential for success in painting, so this paper is an excellent choice.
Essentials:
Item No: 285 250 450 Grab-n-Go Watercolor Travel Set $53.95
Item No: 284 600 086 Quinacridone Burnt Orange $10.45

If you already have a palette, you can skip buying this one. If you already have brushes and some of the paints listed in the set, you can simply add individual tubes of any colors from the Essentials list you are missing.
Optional Suggestions:
If you love reds:
Item No: 284 600 088Quinacridone Coral $10.45
Another lovely quinacridone:
Item No: 284 600 089 Quinacridone Gold $10.45
Plus any colors you already use and additional watercolor brushes.
If any of your existing watercolors are cadmiums, for Earth Healing reasons I recommend the new Cadmium Hues by Daniel Smith that do not contain the toxic cadmiums, but that have the rich full color of cadmiums. They handle beautifully.
