Hello from Holly tea side! I think the first cup of tea of the day is always the best.
My English grandparents always had a little stove, teapot, 2 cups and the fixings for tea in the back of their car...ALWAYS. They would just stop by the side of the road and make a cup as they felt they needed it.
I would highly recommend a tucking a little hand made paper bag sketchbook, a Windsor and Newton water colors set, 3B pencil, nibbed pen and ink, and a pot of white something or another - along side your mobile tea unit and enjoying a sketch or two of your chosen road stop while you sip.
Paper bags are the best! They are an inexpensive and an environmentally friendly source of sketching paper, with a mid-tone base that allows for classical looking drawings with exciting contrasts.
I like working with the "every man's" tools. I really do - and i return repetitively to reused and upcycled materials because i have to say it has always thrilled me to do a gorgeous drawing on such a marginalized surface, or make something really cool from nothing.
We're getting a menu of workshops together now - and paper bags and watercolor and or uses for a paper bag will be one of them. Keep it in mind, tell your friends and we'll make doing it as easy as possible as soon as possible!
