Water Bottles
I recycled some Jam jars to hold water.
Mini Spray Bottle
Picked this up for cheap at Blick.
Plastic Palette and Brushes
I use an airtight plastic palette for painting (Not fully pictured) and mostly cheap Cotman filbert brushes with a couple of other brands for rounds.
Watercolor Stretching Board
This is a Richeson Hardboard that I coated with Acrylic gesso and varnished. Works great!
Hot Press Watercolor Paper
I like to use Strathmore’s ready cut watercolor sheets. They are convenient and easy to frame.
Paint Tubes
I use Windsor & Newton Gouache. These are tubes of permanent white, cadmium free red and ultramarine. I’ll post more about my color palette some other time.
Portable Easel
I use a very cheap, portable aluminum easel that I got from Blick years ago. It doesn’t look like it’s still on the market but there are tons of brands to choose from nowadays
Paint Storage Box
This is an airtight plastic storage box my wife gave me. I have no idea what brand or cost. But it works great!
Masking and Artist Tape
Generic stuff from Blick that I use to tape down my work
Drafting Table
I like to draw as well as paint, so I use this drafting table as a support. It’s the Tonchean Drafting Table Art Desk
