I have experimented with many different art supplies over the years, and my supply list is always evolving. Here is a list of the items I used in Greece, each of which I tested extensively before my trip to ensure its necessity and functionality. Most of these supplies can be found at any art supply store.

• Windsor & Newton professional-grade tube watercolors
• Children’s watercolor set (with the paint soaked out and replaced with W&N watercolors)
• 12†x 12†masonite hardboard
• Water cups clip
• Windsor & Newton, Series 7 sable watercolor brush

• iPhone for pictures, video, blog posts (so much contained in one gadget makes it a winner)
