My everyday watercolor palette extraordinaire! (A Schmincke aluminum 50 half-pan palette filled with an assortment of paints)

Dr. Ph Martin's Hydrus Watercolors  (they are really more like inks in the way they absorb into the paper) 

I use these two the most, the white is great for starry nights

Set of 48 glorious gouaches by Holbein, I don't use them as much as watercolors 

Sometimes I supplement my watercolors with colors I don't have, like this fabulous opaque pink

Go-to brushes. A jumbo round, 8 round, 6 round, 4 round and a Pentel Aquash water brush that's perfect for travel 

Design "Spectracolor" discontinued colored pencils from ebay... oh yeah

Just a B and a 2B pencil for sketching and signing stuff 

A Uniball gold pen and a Gelly Roller white for details 

Winsor & Newton masking fluid and a funny rubber brush thing that I use to apply it 

Four favorite black pens of all time - Platinum Carbon Fountain Pen (fine), Nib, Micron 01, Sakura Pocket Brush no. 14 (hard)

Usually use Platinum Carbon waterproof black ink 

I always have two types of watercolor paper - cheap and not so cheap. This is my current cheap, Canon cold pressed 140lb

An my good paper is Arches watercolor cold-pressed 140lb paper. I use a pad for light paintings and a block for really water-soaked ones

Arches watercolor block (it's so amazing if you're not into stretching paper)
