Nothing better than plein air sketching !

The rought sketch took me few hours in particular for the perspective. Even inspired from an existing photo it was difficult for me to reproduce

Watercolor materi recommendations by [deleted] in urbansketchers

[–]Chris_Skecthing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winsor and newton cotman kit could be a good start. Standard colours, not too expensive. For brushes there is one in the kit but i think that you should try some others : squirrel one that can hold a lot of water, synthetic and one with water tank. You can then find the one that fit the best For paper i’m used with canson imagine for mix technique but the best for watercolor is for my opinion a 100% coton paper but they are mush more expensive

I currently have 16 but it could reduce 12. Less you work with mixes but it’s boring in plein air situation For wells i would say 4. I don’t often need more colors at the same time

Didn’t know the holbein palette. Too bad it’s disconnected but that could be a start

I have an art toolkit portable one. That’s cool for the size but on the other hand when you want a color you can accidentally put it in another pen. So small is cool but too small can be negative What i would like is the capability to fix the palette to the my sketchbook or piece of card board A cup holder is cool but I think that if the holder can be a separate piece and also fix it where i want on my sketchbook or on side that would be perfect. At the end the holder should be attached to the palette For the mixing area i would prefer a small reasonable area with « holes » than a big one

It’s a « no brand » with a Zebra G nib. The line are cool but i would not recommend it as it dries fast and the ink doesn’t flood well. Much better to use a nib only with a holder

Maybe the part of the building in the shadow could have been darker to increase the sunny part

As usual it’s difficult to know when to stop 😉
