Watercolor Travel Kit or Beginners Kit

Watercolor Travel Kit or Beginners Kit

I put together a watercolor travel kit in collaboration with Daniel Smith Art Supplies.  It is called the Daniel Smith Extra Fine Jacqueline Newbold Watercolor Travel Kit.  It would also serve as a great kit for beginning watercolor artists.  It is also a great checklist for those of you who have your own supplies and want to see what is needed for painting-on-the-go!
Included in the kit are 12 tubes of Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors.  I picked each one out because they match a color on the color wheel.

You will also get a very nice spiral bound Arches Watercolor Travel Journal with 140 lb watercolor paper in it and my favorite travel palette!  You will get 2 brushes, a kneaded eraser and a zippered case to carry your brushes and extra things.  All you will need to complete this travel kit would be a pencil and water.  If you bought everything separately, it would cost you $63 more.  
This kit is the what I used while doing the demonstrations on my DVD:  Art Journals: On-the-Go!
