Trying to minimize things for upcoming travel. This seems to be the least for now! About 5 x 2 x 8 inches.
See my Flickr post for detailed notes on individual items.
Every Friday in downtown Binghamton, they have a lunch concert and farmers market. So I took advantage of the beautiful weather today and sat on the courthouse steps to sketch. Shame I left before the music started, though. Lots of construction going on to beautify Binghamton.
I’ve been reading about ‘minimalism’ and this got me started cleaning out lots of stuff in my basement. It’s also reflected in my revised palette – less colors. Took out a few that I hardly used to make room for larger pans for the ones I use most. This page is carried with my sketch kit for reference, but also because I just *love* looking at pure color!

Some painting supplies |
This was a pencil case – just using a small (Schmincke) palette, small spray bottle and teeny water container!
I paint at my dining room table, even though I have a workspace upstairs. It’s much brighter here!
The flowers are a lovely birthday gift. (for me!)
Here is my newest sketch kit. I have been looking for something very portable, even the small bags seem like I will lose things in them. Many thanks to timoliver1959 for his suggestion to buy an inexpensive pencil kit and adapt it to your specific needs. I can’t fit the water bottle and the pencil sharpener and teeny-tiny water container within the 1″ width of the case, they just need to be on opposite ends. The entire case is 6″x11″x1″, so it is just this and my sketchbook to carry. Now we just need some warmer weather so I am willing to go outside and sketch!
A fun gift I received! They will never replace my watercolors, but they bring new energy which helps my creative side.
