Carrying bag or back pack
Wide-mouth plastic containers (2)
Quart container of water (half gallon better)

Brush - a number 12 round that points is the most versatile if you are relying on one brush - otherwise your choice.
(to test how a brush points, put it in water at the store to see if all the hairs come together)
Paper
Small newsprint or other economical sketch pad
Watercolor paper
look for something in your price range that is acid free or all rag (D'Arches is worth the investment)
