I decided to do this piece with my travel setup as if I was standing and painting on location. For me, this means working quickly and using a minimum of materials and tools.

PAINTS

1 Quinachridone Fuchsia
2 Yellow Ochre
3 Phthalo Blue
4 Sepia
5 Burnt Sienna
6 Sap Green

My Paint Palette is simply the tray from a package of gum. It is attached with two sided tape.
The paper used for mixing is a piece of scrap watercolor paper.
The mixing tray is the packaging from a suitcase travel lock. Ingenuity when away from home.

MATERIALS

PAPER:
Strathmore Sketchbook for this Video.
My papers of choice include Arches and Fabriano 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag.
For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again.
