_ This review of art materials is for something I always have around. It’s a small notebook with pen(s). I’ve used this set up to draw airplane interiors, the interiors of museums, landscapes, and abstract studies. This kit is easy to carry, fits easily in a pocket, and the archival qualities provide an excellent record of your work and thoughts. The pens don’t smudge even if they get wet or you watercolor over them so your experiences are recorded for a long time. They are available in fine point to chisel tip, brush, different colors, and sets. These links are product descriptions from an art supply store called Daniel Smith. Other art shops and bookstores have these items as well. If you choose to mail order from Daniel Smith you can receive a 20% discount through the link on the Sketchy Tours website.
Moleskine Sketch Pocket Notebook, 3-1/2" x 5-1/2", 80 Pages The legendary notebook of Hemingway and Matisse. The Moleskine Notebook, pronounced mol-a-skeen'-a, is simple, handsome and durable - a true classic. As a travel or daily journal, it is unsurpassed, equally good for writing or sketching. Made in Italy, it has a black, water-resistant leather-like cover secured by an elastic band. Smooth, acid-free pages (ruled, cream-colored paper for writing or top quality white paper for sketching) have rounded corners and are thread-bound so the book can lie flat. Each Moleskine book has a ribbon placeholder and an expandable accordion pocket in the back for holding tickets, notes and clippings. http://www.danielsmith.com/Item--i-750-020-001 Sakura Pigma Micron Pens Acid-free and archival, Pigma Micron Ink Pens are ideal for papercrafts, journals, illustration, crafts, or any application requiring precision and permanence.
