My Watercolor Supplies

This is all (or the 99% of) my supplies. I keep the most of them, or as much as I can in my suitcase easel. My main paints I use is Cotman by Winsor & Newton. I have some Daler Rowney that I got as gifts. You can see my cheep brushes, a water bottle, a squirt bottle, and frisket. On the other end is my good brushes. 
I mostly use and love the Cotman brushes, but they can be pricey so I got some student grade flats for washes. I don't need a ton of brushes to create my work. I mostly use 
  • 10mm flat
  • 6mm filbert
  • 6 round
  • 5 round
  • 3 round
  • 1 round
  • 0 round
I also have a travel detail, 0 brush for my gouache highlights. 
My many pallets and travel sets. I do often go out and chill with friends and paint on my lunch break at work so they are nice to have. I also have hand made pallets. When the one on the far right is all used up I will put my Cotman paints in the big pallet for home/ studio use. 
As you can see I do all of my work on my sofa/ bed as I do not have a desk. I want to buy one but I have no room to put it in my apartment. 
As for paper I mostly use Daler Rowney 9 x 12 and Strathmore 300 11 x 15. I have Arches but that paper is so pricey. I love Strathmore and the Daler Rowney is nice for cheep paper.
