I recommend pan watercolors, a water brush and a multimedia sketchbook. Also, a rag or paper towels. A music stand makes for a very inexpensive and portable easel. **Tips** * Wear comfortable clothing for the weather and supportive shoes for walking on uneven terrain. * Bring a hat, sunscreen, and bug spray. * Bring water and any other beverages or snacks you may want. * If you don't have an easel or don't prefer standing, bring a folding chair/stool or picnic blanket. * Make sure you're able to carry your supplies for short to medium distances, depending on your preferred painting location. * Be aware of your surroundings and the weather. Watch out for uneven terrain and signs of heat exhaustion. Hike at your own risk. Stay hydrated. * Leave the area as you found it or better. Bring any trash out with you. We have a Facebook group too: [Raleigh Outdoor Painting Group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/1655096951543346). Please feel free to join us there. Looking forward to seeing you, Jaylene
