Sketching kit and colours for Sketchtour 2020

The sketchtour is coming up which I planned together with my friend Johanna, an urban sketcher from Hannover... 

First question: What will I take with me for that next sketchtour?

I would like to have a reduced load of materials to carry around with me all day, when sketching so...

...this is my choice for a complete sketching kit:

- the upper palette filled with 25 colours
- two small palettes with additional colours - see below
  (one is filled with my actual favourites and can change acc. to my needs and 
   the other is a green palette which I use for gardens and the like)
- support board
- folding stool
- 2 synthetic brushes with a good tip (no.12 and 16)
- new waterproof backpack (suitable for A3 size sketchbook)
- Watercolour block/sketchbook A3 and A4 (heavy stuff! Just one of them fits
  into my bag - therefore the A4 is just a backup)
- folding Sketchbook, handmade by Helio (a beautiful gift!), 
  with very thick watercolour paper (I will certainly come back on that in a 
  separate post)
- maybe an additional Crocbook for cafe sketching?
- A few tubes of dark colours for nightsketching and a headlamp
- pencil, inkpen,...
- a hat and sunscreen as the weather will be hot for the first two days.

Keep fingers crossed that the good weather will continue. 

I have lots of ideas what topics to sketch and will certainly plan some sketching highlights...
so stay tuned for it...

We have so much sketching fun ahead!
