I have a theory that the more you bring with you to an art retreat the less you will get done because you will have more choices and therefore, more decisions to make. Here are the supplies I brought with me to the Focus Retreat Center for the Inktober Retreat and I will tell you what I used and didn't.
What I brought:
huge pack of Art Beek brush markers (cheap and plentiful so I can share) amzn.to/47jEPyS
Sketchbar marker sketchbook 7"x7" or so (no longer available)
Ohuhu fineliners (black and color-waterproof and alcohol marker proof) amzn.to/3SwTkvn
In my Grumbacher backpack with stool built in. Sadly this backpack is no longer made but this is similar: amzn.to/3QKeWmD
Viviva folio A5 set: vivivacolors.com/?sca_ref=249...
Derwent Chromaflow pencils, 24 set: amzn.to/3FJbYZ7
Portable painter filled with watercolors: amzn.to/3QJ9tMM
Hahnemuhle accordion sketchbook: amzn.to/3u94EmU
Bug spray
Sunscreen (hahahaha!)
Stillman & Birn Beta series mixed media sketchbooks in 3.5"x5.5" and 5.5"x8.5" (finished both!) shrsl.com/4aic7
4"x4" handmade arches paper sketchbook (finished that too!)
Cheap joes travel brushes: www.cheapjoes.com/miller-s-ps...
Flat compass: amzn.to/3siD0U2
White gel pen: amzn.to/49npUpu
White paint pen: amzn.to/3MQRqlF
Basic watercolor extras like wax, credit card scraper, old toothbrush, rag, clips, tape, eraser, pencil, a few other brushes and stuff like that.
In my fanny pack:
This fanny pack is waterproof and looks to be a similar size: amzn.to/3tXIBjc
Tiny clip-on palette with my watercolors: amzn.to/3sgoeNL *this looks better than the one I bought and is cheaper LOL!
Derwent set of 4 waterbrushes: amzn.to/3Mug0Z0
Compressed towels (actually, these are in all my kits and I rinse them out after using them, let them dry and keep using them. amzn.to/3QIIZLb *I had these in my camping stuff, I did not buy them for art but they are super absorbant and last longer than paper towels.
3.5"x8.25" handbook sketchbook: amzn.to/3u0g64n
Other: clips, tape, pencil, eraser, cut up credit card etc.
I used most everything, yay! I didn't use the bug spray, sunscreen or accordion sketchbook!
